fgwf 'MX Ualedicfot Graduation! Yes, fellow classmates, we now pass another milestone in our road of life. We have completed four short years of work within the fold of this, our beloved Alma Mater. Tonight we have attained our cherished goal, a high school diploma. In the midst of our joy and bewilderment, we pause and reflect upon the many happy hours we have shared together. Then we turn to the future. As we think of our many unrealized hopes and ambitions, a sense of fear envelops us, we clasp our hands and utter a little prayer in the hope that God will give us vision, faith, and courage to guide us on our way. Through the capable, kindly guidance of our ever- helpful principal, Mr. Kennedy, our much loved assistant FRANCES SACCONE principal, Mr. Devine, and our patient teachers, we have acquired some knowledge of the essential factors required to make us true Americans. To them we are ever grateful. Here in our democratic United States, we Americans acclaim the opportunity to partici- pate in many privileges issued in the Bill of Rights in which lies the great foundation of American freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right to petition - all these privileges are bestowed upon us. What do we Americans owe our haven of liberty? Here at Grover Cleveland High School we have been guided in the develop- ment of qualities of honesty, good sportsmanship, determination, loyalty and truth, thus main- taining ideals of character and service. We now know that we owe America ourselves, our love, our loyalty, our patriotism, and our service. We owe our conscientious obedience to the supreme law of the land, the Constitution, and the laws of our state, as well as a whole-hearted support of our public officials from the president down to the merest top-sergeant in our own little company. To enjoy the Bill of Rights is all well and good providing, of course, that in carrying out the privileges set forth in the first ten amendments to our Constitution, we do not abuse them and injure others through them. We, the generation of today, must insure these privileges for the generation of tomorrow. We must make them the bulwark of our democracy, a life insurance against tyranny and corruption. We must remember that with these rights come duties - the duties of citizenship in a free land. Through the medium of the ballot, the people are privileged to express their will, thus, we as citizens are duty-bound to exercise the power of the ballot wisely and deliberately. Thus, by being good citizens we are doing our part towards making the Star Spangled banner wave forever over the land of the free and the home of the brave. Tonight, as we look about us, we find another reason for our success. It is none other than our dear mothers and fathers who have fostered a never-dying faith in us. Through their devoted efforts and sacrifices, we have been given the opportunity to have a high school career. In our moments of despair it was they who comforted us by their kind words and encouraged us to go on just as Lincoln's mother inspired him when she said: Remember, son, you can be a great man in this free country if you only say, 'I will'. We now feel that our graduation in part rewards them for all their sacrifices. We sincerely hope that time will help us prove to them that their faith and love were justified. Now, with deep regret, we bid farewell to our Alma Mater. Our final parting is made even -more difficult when we remember the friendships which have grown through our studying, working, and playing together. They will always remain cherished possessions in our hearts. FRANCES SACCONE, Valedictorian. ' 25
