Class mates, we are now ready to go out upon the large waves of life to fight life’s battle, yes, and to conquer. We are glad to go, because we know that there are joys awaiting us as well as hardships. We leave you tonight fellow students with nothing left but memories of the dear days of yore, 1912-13-14-15 yes, four long years, but now we are ready to take our departure, and we take it not in sorrow but in rejoicing. And at last when we have guided our ships into the harbor of rest, our journey over, we will rest assured that our lives have not been worthless nor a failure, but a great though humble success. Young men opportunity awaits you with outstretched hands. Will you accept or reject? FRED BUTLER, Orator. TWENTY-SHt
