VALEDICTORY ADDRESS We, the class of 1950, have finished our years together as a unit. We met here tonight to have a final ceremony before you-our friends, parents, teachers, and classmates. We have had speeches, poems, and presentations of awards and diplomas; all has been said and done. Now it falls my duty and privilege to tell you good-by. This is not a good-by as individuals, as it is not the end of our association with you, but rather a class farewell. With this farewell goes a “thank you.” To our teachers and principal who pushed us when we lagged and who held aloft the light of graduation, we give a hearty thank you. To you of the Board of Education who have a job of little thanks or recognition, this class of 1950 is glad to say “thank you” for the priviledges we have enjoyed. To our mothers and fathers, for your advice, leadership, and sacrifices, we extend a sincere and tender thank you. And to all of you for your trust, love, and friendship, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. An now classmates, we have our passports to the world of men and women. We are no longer school children to be coaxed, bribed, and gently prodded. The time has come when we must step out bravely and determine to reach those goals we have set. These high school diplomas do not mean that the struggle is over. There will be many times when we will wish that care-free days of school life were not over. Our life is in our own hands now. We have had a good foundation prepared for us—the building is up to us. Let us make a solemn promise that we will become men and women of whom these people here tonight will be proud. Now we have come to the main purpose of this address—to bid you all—teachers, friends, parents, and classmates— a loving fare¬ well from the Class of 1950 of Cobb High School. Lelia Alice Blackwell
