Graduation Address As delivered at Tremont Temple TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1948 by our Class President Dr. Downey, Mr. School Committeeman, Ladies end Gentlemen: We of the Class of ' 48 welcome you to our graduation exercises. We welcome especi- ally our parents, who have sacrificed so much that we might acquire a good education. We hope to prove by our future actions that we are worthy of the sacrifices they have made. At this point, we of the Class of ' 48 wish to thank the people of the City of Boston for the education that they have mode possible, thus giving us the opportunity to attend a higher institution of learning. We also wish to thank our hard-working headmaster. Dr. Walter F. Downey, and the members of the faculty for their untiring efforts on our behalf. Now that we are graduat- ing, we can look back upon the past school year with an open mind, and admire the patience and hard work of our instructors. Graduation will not put an end to our association with English High. No other high school in the country con boast of the loyalty which the alumni of our school have shown toward their clmo mater. I am sure that we of the Class of 1948 will follow in the foot- steps of the many classes that hove gone before since far bock in 1821. Although the long hard year has ended, and the day of graduation for us Seniors has at last orrived, we of the Class of ' 48 feel a sense of loss, for we have spent the happiest days of our lives ot English High. The friendships we have made in the past few years will never be forgotten, ond will be renewed at each class reunion. I want to thank you, my classmotes, for electing me your President. It ' s the greatest honor you could confer upon me, and I hope that I ' ve proved myself worthy of your trust, because I think you ' re the finest group of fellows I ' ve ever known. In conclusion, I wish every one of you of the Class of ' 48 success in the future which you are planning. Always be mindful of the fact that you are English High men, and re- member the motto of your school, Be Clean, Be Courteous, Be Square. Until our first reunion, goodby, and good luck to all. PETER S. CAPERNAROS, President of the Class of 1948
