1 0 N VALEDICTDIQ LADIES, CSENTLENIEN, CLASSMATES: The purpose of a high school education is to prepare boys and girls to take their places in the world as men and women, to fill the gap between childhood and adulthood. For four years the School Board, teachers, and our parents have been uniting their efforts to bring about this result. They have placed before us every opportunity for a well rounded education, they have taught us, besides the essentials of grammar, history, or math, the spirit of co-operation and comradeship. They have helped us to choose our life's work and to form ties of friendship never to be broken, and now our graduation marks the accomplishment of this goali From some of us duty demands an immediate entrance-.into the fields of labor, from others, a longer preparation, but from each of us, the same measure of loyalty to our country as we have given to our school. No one would want to continue in high school forever, there are other goals to reach and other steps to climb. Although the spirit of G. H. S. will bind our hearts together, we must now bid a sad farewell. DOROTHV Zook. IALUTATUIQY just four years ago, friends, we, the Class of 29, climbed into the airship, High School, and took off for a Hight across the Sea of Learning. Only by your radio messages have we passed through fogs without losing our route. The faculty inspected our engines every day so that trouble would not cause a forced landing. The port that we wished to reach was Graduation. At times we believed our plane would zoom down before we could even see the top of Knowledge Building. But by holding the control stick firmly, we have passed safely through the air pocket tests, examination storms, report card rains, pink slip winds, and fog Uls. Now we can see our port. Second by second we are flying nearer. We heartily welcome you, friends, parents, teachers, and schoolmates, to watch us make our landing. VIRGINIA BROWN. .rfb +7 f fi. . .

CLAII DIQATIDN AM BIT ION P VVhat is ambition? This is a question that should be answered in the mind of every senior who is leaving this school today. Ambition is the determination to attain a certain goal. . ls it wrong to be ambitious? ls it wrong to improve the talents which our Master has given us? Of course, in a certain way, we are seeking our own rewards, but in doing so, with the right attitude, we will not fail to help others. The human race is so bound together that no man can labor for himself alone. Each task that we perform with an unselfish effort helps to mould the universe, and if we build on a firm foundation we shall leave a monument to posterity. VVe who are soon to make our ambitions a reality can leave a trace of our success. Contented, ambitious people are all very well in their way. I have not a word to say against them so long as they do not become so self- satisfied and indifferent that they fail to further the world's progress. lt seems to me that the life of a contented person is a very monot- onous one. He never knows the excitement or delight of accomplish- ing a certain task, but to the ambitious man it is a brilliant game, calling for him to contribute his tact, energy, and nerve-a game to be won, but having in it that indescribable quality of uncertainty. Even though the result may be a defeat, he has the pleasure of knowing that he has fought the battle squarely. And now, as we are about to step over the threshold of G. H. S, into the world of opportunities, let us have an aim in view, and let us work it out with all the vigor and zest that we can give. V1oI.ET STRYC K ER. IDIQEIIIDENTQI AIDDIQEII It is my privilege as president of the Senior Class to give on this day the Presidents Address. Four years ago this Class of 1929 entered high school to reach that goal for which we have all strived, graduation. As we worked our way from year to year, and finally to this stage. everyone in this class has done his or her share of the work. Now, as we are about to leave old G. H. S. forever, we want to express our thanks to our parents, who have given us every opportunity Page 25
