President’ s A ddress To my classmates, As our graduation grows closer, wc Ix'gin to realize that s xmi we must part with many of the things to which we have grown accustomed, and that we are to leave many things behind us at Hartford. In the twelve years that we have been in school a definite pattern has been formed in our lives. I believe that when we graduate it will seem as though a door has been closed behind us, separating us from many of those things that have been ours. We shall no longer be a part of the High School; we shall no longer be together as a class; and next September for the first time, we shall not return to Hartford with the underclassmen. It is the duty of a President to inform his classmates that each must continue to work hard through the years that follow, to continue always to attempt to climb higher up the ladder of success. Knowing how you have worked as a class it seems useless for me to tell you that you must try even harder, for I know that you will work as hard individually as you have as a class. I am sure that the majority of you still remembers that night in the fall of 1940 when The Class of ’40 presented us with our class banner. From that time on we have worked together as a class. We have had many good times together and because of our efforts much has been accomplished by us. Each one of us is proud of our banner. We are prouder still of the ideals and the tradition for which it has come to stand. Because of the way in which our class has worked together, joining forces to help the class and one another over the rough spots an idea of unity, and of class spirit has grown up amongst us which I am sure we will never forget. Our class has proven to be a credit to each of us because we have worked always for the good of the class. As each of you goes along throughout your life, making new acquaintances and being confronted by new problems, it is my sincere hope that you will always remember us. THE CLASS OF ’47 I believe also, that sometime when you are in trouble and need a little help, if you will remember our blue and white banner and the things which it represents, you will somehow receive some of that courage that has helped to make THE CLASS OF 1947, Hartford High School, the great one that it has lx en.
