Valedictory Recognizing the fact that this program presented this evening is the last one to be offered by us as a class of Hart High School, we are compelled to look at the future with a certain degree of seriousness and meditation. Upon receiving our diplomas tomorrow night the last bond connecting us to this school will be severed. We readily acknowledge that earning our diploma is only a small part of earning a place for ourselves in this world. Fully understanding that great problems are facing us in the near future, we hope to step out of our role as a high school student and into another role that will merit us a place among men. Before attaining any great heights we expect to trod upon the rocks strewn along the pathways of the lower levels. Dear parents, the knowledge of our indebtedness to you weighs heavily on our hearts. Although we will never be able to adequately repay you for the four years you sacrificed to present us an education, we want you to realize that we sincerely appreciate your efforts and promise to do all within our power to prove they were not in vain. Also we wish to express our deep gratitude to the faculty members who have so capably piloted us through the four years we have devoted to obtaining an education. Perhaps there were many times when it seemed to you that you couldn't endure us much longer. If we were instrumental in causing your grief, we want you to know that we are very sorry and that we are deeply grateful to you for the services you have performed for us. The time has come, fellow-graduates, when our ways must separate and our associations must be broken. Let us hope, however, that all of them will not be broken and that some friendships formed during our high school career will prove as lasting as the Rock of Gibraltar. WILLIAM JENSEN Salutation Tonight we have reached the climax of our high school life. It has seemed a short life filled with golden memories of the days when we played our games, studied our lessons, and enjoyed the companionship of fellow students. We have received honors which made us happy and disappointments which made us sad as we climbed those four steps—Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. Class Night brings us to the top step, the summit of all our hopes and ambitions. For the past two years the Class of Nineteen Thirty-Eight has looked forward to this occasion, thinking we would address you from that huge stage which is being erected in the new gymnasium. Though our dream was not fulfilled, it is with glad hearts that we leave this opportunity to the underclassmen. We wish also, to express our profound appreciation for that monument of public spirit which has just one great end in view—to serve the boys and girls of Hart. We extend our most cordial greetings to each parent, teacher, and friend assembled here this evening. It has been your interest in our achievements which encouraged us in the past, and may that spirit of good will represented by your presence here tonight, inspire us to future success in life! We, the Class of Nineteen Thirty-Eight, salute you, and express our sincere hope that you will enjoy our last performance as high school students. 28 MAUREEN MUNGER
