For one hundred years, the boys and girls in this Common-wealth have had the privilege of an education at public expense. The length of the school term was not long in the early years nor was attendance compulsory until 1895. After one hundred years, one would think that the value of free public schools, including high schools, would have been permanently established but there are forces working today that would abandon the free public high school and require a tuition fee from all who attend. It would be interesting to know how many of the members of this class would be graduating if a personal tuition fee had been required. An old adage says, uYou never miss the water until the well runs dry. I hope that the members of this splendid class appreciate the opportunities they have had for a high school education. I hope that each of you has profited much from the time you have spent in Corry High School. Whether you have been fully imbued with the ideals of your Alma Mater will depend on the future lives of each individual. My wish is that the fates may be kind to you and that peace, prosperity, and happiness may attend you in whatever pathway of lifels labors you may find opportunity for service. Cordially yours, Ralph S. Dewey. 4 3 ,x it i
