- u ' -'LT LE.l2BEl?,. PRESIDENTS ADDRESS The graduating class of Commerce High School receives tonight a certifi- cate from the city of Portland stating that we have satisfactorily completed a prescribed course of study in this Portland high school. Words that tell so much -so much of knowledge gained, so muchfof skills acquired, and so much of attitudes formed. Yet these words leave so much unsaidp they do not tell of all that we have learned: they do not tell of all the friendships made: they do not tell of all we must leave behind: they do not tell of all we are now able to look forward to. We have gained the required number of credits, we have completed the necessary lessons: yet there are so many lessons we have learned for which no grades are given. This unrecorded phase of our education has contributed to our rounded development as future American citizens. ln our history classes we have been taught that there are other forms of government besides our own. VV e have been taught their advantages and disadvantages. We know our own Constitution and Bill of Rights. We appreciate the freedom and privileges that are ours. We know, as future citizens, that we are charged with the preservation of this freedom and of these privileges. We promise you that We stand united in our desire to preserve that Constitution and Bill of Rights. In our sports and in our health classes We have been taught to take care of the perfect mechanism that is our body. We know health is necessary for a full and productive life. We know that it is now our own responsibility to keep our bodies clean and healthy. In our games and in our clubs We have been taught to work together. We know we must recognize and evaluate, for their true Worth, the accomplishments of our fellow men. We know that it is now our responsibility to show under- standing and tolerance, not only as an individual, but as a nation. We have learned that we are the children of a benevolent God. We have the right to worship him in the Way we choose. But it is our duty for successful living to have a faith and to practice the teaching of that faith. The application of these phases of our education to our dailynliving will make us better citizens of any community. Tonight we part from a great deal that is dear to usp all the joys that school alone can bring, and all the friends that have made us seem as one. Yet our memories are very little different- from those possessed by others who have graduated here before us. But this should be a happier and pleasanter gradua- tion than those of the past twelve years. Business is again demanding well- trained youth. We now have the well-justified hopes for immediately becom- ing useful members of society. I We are ready, ready with brightly sharpened tools. We are ready with an appreciation of our heritage. We are ready with a knowledge of the value of health. We are ready with the right kind of attitude toward our fellow men. We possess a belief in a God. We are ready to take our places as good. useful American citizens. Pugc Nina
