Lillian Little, Salutatorian. r ■ ... 4 ■ Friends and Classmates: We, who stand tonight at the meeting be- tween a happy occasion and an unknom future, have reached not the end but the comrQencemeni; of our lives. What these lives are to be de- pends upon the foundation that we have been bu ' l.lding diiring our years in school. We ' ho have been lonited by class ties and bonds of friendship, we who have learned to love the familiar scenes of school and our associations say goodbye. This thought of farewell makes us sad. We extend our thanks to the members of the Board of Trustees as well as our parents for the privileges enjoyed here Your influence has laid the foundation for this hour. Members of the faculty, we appreciate the many things that you have so willingly done for us. We hope to repay you by becoriing men and women of v hom you may be proud. Underclassmen, our friendship has been pleasant. May you maintain the standards of our Alma Mater, In parting we extend our best wishes. Classmates, may we always remain true to the ideals of our class and make our lives such as shall bring pride to our school. Let us shov; the v;orld as v e step out into the field of endeavors that we are made of the stuff the best citizens and patriots are made of, I We shall soon take our separate ways, but we shall not be se -arated in spirit. In memory we shall always be one loyal class. Now as v e say farewell, we Mash to say to the many friends and classmates of Fountain High we will always keep many happy memories of our school days. Then here ' s a smile for the future, And for our parting a sigh I Here ' s a God speed and bon voyage, And to all a fond goodbye. Janie Holland, Valedictorian, j - N I ■■!
