Scrlutatory MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, PARENTS, TEACHERS AND FRIENDS We wonder if you can realize just how proud we are of this privilege of appearing before you to-night and bidding you wel- come to our simple ceremonies. To our par- ents and relatives, it is an hour of pride and affection, to our teachers an hour of joy in our success, and regret, we trust, over the necessary parting. You have demonstrated your interest in us by coming to listen to all that we may have to say during this one little hour of our lives, yet it is we who are passing out into your midst, we who are ent- ering into your pursuits and pleasures, and becoming one with you in the social and busi- ness centers that make up active life. So much of our success there will depend upon the way in which you receive us and the spirit in which you respond to our enthusiasm. Is it not we then, who should ask, for the glad hand of welcome? ls it not we who are the outsiders, seeking for admission to your as- sociation and favor? ls it not we, who, though we have now the pleasure and privi- lege of entertaining you, must at this turn of the road step forth and demand our share in all that has been yours for so long? It seems well for us who are about to step forth into the arena of the world's progress to consider something of what our parts in the great battle of life are, or ought to be, as citizens of the greatest republic and the grandest nation in the world. We have all our lives heard a great deal about patriotism. The distinguishing mark of American patrio- tism is freedom. The spirit of Americanism and American institutions is that of a true democracy, which shall seek to cultivate the best and eliminate the vicious and to stand for the cause of liberty, freedom and truth at whatever cost of property or even human life. If we love our country, then, with the best form of love we will set for her a stan- dard of all that is highest and purest and noblest, and then use all our efforts to help her to make real the ideal that we hold for her. Tonight is a great occasion for us, one of the brightest spots in all our lives and bound to live forever in our memories. It is an oc- casion which closes an epoch in our lives, the most important period that we have yet known and one of the' utmost value in its bearing upon all our future career. We are sure that at this time, every one must realize something of what it means to us and that you also rejoice with us that we have been able to accomplish so much as we have while wishing for each of us greater triumphs in whatever work may lie ahead of us. Again, I welcome you, -- and yet, not l, but the Class of 1948 that is speaking through me. Valedictory MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, PARENTS, TEACHERS AND FRIENDS Before we launch our tiny, yet hopeful ship into the troubled waters of an uncertain world, let us pause a while to procure a clear perspective of the course we are to run, the pitfalls we are to overcome and the goal we are to achieve as graduates of an American High School in the memorable year of 194-8. Truly, the journey we are undertaking is an adventurous one. We must like the dar- ing explorers of old travel on the new route to universal peace through justice and char- ity in part, a panacea for the staggering eco- nomic, social and moral ills of a world grown old and fearful. Age casts anxious imploring glances to- ward youth. lt is, therefore, we, the young blood of the nation, who must reassure them and act in their behalf. How can we rekindle in those tired eyes, the fires of brighter days? How shall we rest those aching limbs and hearts? Oh! World! Oh! great big suf- fering world, how we fledglings strain to cry out to you so that all may hear and rejoice. It can be done. Universal security and friendship can be real. Perhaps we are now being mutely chal- lenged to state what we can contribute to- wards a better world. We accept the chal- lenge. It is generally known that the seeds of the last frightful war were sown in hatred and ignorance. Our education has shown us that the first of these evils may be corrected by removing the couses of fear and jealousy that the second may he effaced by infusing into every citizen sound principles of morality. and a clearer knowledge of our debt to other people and the interdependence of all na-
