VALEDICTORY We, the graduating students of Grandview High Scheo1ofComrnerce, have reached one of the major turning points of our lives. We are leaving the safety and security of school life to go into a world which, in these trying days, gives no qunrter to inexperienced per- sona such as us. We have only ambition, will power, and the advice of our teachers as our weapons, For some it will ee easy. Perhaps just stepping out of school into the office of their faLher's firm. For others, it will be a battle all the way. But, regardless of how hard it may be, we shall continue to put forth the same honest efiort that has enabled us to pass through four years at this school. Speaking of the class as a whale, the last four years have been the happiest years of our lives. Lifelong friendships have been made beth with teachers and classmates. Now that we are iiniahed, we inevitably think Lack to the years that have passed. Thus we are in the peculiar position oi looking back and forward at the same time- back with pleasant nenories, forward with hopefuiness and zeal. This is the spirit in which we leave Grandview. It is well exem- plified in Tennyson's immortal words, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Nick Mazzone.
