ll tl ll. ll nl ml llll ll IK ll 17 ' SALUTATCJRY Classmates, Faculty, Parents, Board of Education and other Friends: Under the title of salutatorian, it has become my privilege to extend to you the pleasure and delight of the class of 1947 in having you here with us this evening and to welcome you to our commencement exercises. Tonight marks another milestone in our journey through life, the end of our high school days. It is indeed a happy occasion, but still our hearts are sad because tomorrow each of us will go his way. To some it will mean the commencement of higher educational work, to others the beginning of business life or home cares. Nevertheless. we hope never to stop learn- ing whether in school or out. Our task now will be to make use of the education we have acquired to nut forth our best efforts in every way possible to further the prcgress of this great country. Our high school days have been filled with joy and happiness along with a great deal of hard work, and they will linger forever in the memories of each and everyone of us. We realize that it has been through the efforts, thoughtfulness, and co-operation of our teachers, parents, and friends that these past four years at G. E. H. S. have been very educational as well as enjoyable. We sincerely thank you for your guidance and help during these years, as we shall always be grateful to you. Now as I close, again 1 wish to say, we welcome you. --Charlene Kohler VALEDICTCIRY We build the ladder by which we climb. Classmates and Friends: The motto of the twenty-three Seniors of the class of 1947 is, We build the ladder by which we climb. Throughout our school year you, through your sacrifices and help. have been helping us build our lad- ders. Graduation from high school is perhaps one of the most important rungs in our ladders. By placing this rung in our ladders tonight, we ended a part which, if we have accepted its offered opportunities and resulting experiences to the utmost, will help us build higher ladders to the planes of success, happiness and good citizenship. We, as the citizens of tomorrow, must do our best to promote peace in this new Atomic Age by giving full, intelligent support to our churches, school, homes and our local, state, and national governments. We have perhaps a more diflicult task and a more important challenge to meet than has had any generation of young people who have gone before, that of preserving this world in its entirety for our children and grandchildren. Our ladders are not complete--indeed they never can be, but although sad at the thought of leaving our underclassmates, the halls that seem a part of us and all the little things that mean so much, we are happy, awed, and perhaps a little afraid of the challenge that awaits us--that of securing and maintaining peace--peace of mind, soul and body for the people and nations which will follow us. With these thoughts we leave you with a thankfulness to you in our hearts which we can never express. --Evelyn Steele
