Salutatory It is my pleasure and privilege tonight to bring a word of greeting to this great audience of relatives and friends of the Senior Class of the Harts-ville High School. This occasion marks the climax of all our efforts in our school life, and happy we are to have you share with us the joy of our graduation night. Our high school life began in the fall of 1929—that fateful year when the world was shocked into a realization that its financial situation was most critical. In spite of the uncertainty of the times, the many vexatious and perplexing money problems that developed, the wise guidance, sound judgment and careful planning of our trustees and superintendent have made this graduation night possible for us. It is with a feeling of satisfaction and appreciation that we have seen the Hartsville High School go steadily forward during the four stormy years now behind us. Strict economies which have necessarily been enforced have not interfered with the usual length of our school terms nor with the efficiency of our teaching force. We students have realized the seriousness of the situation and in consequence have applied oureslves to the business of making the most of opportunities which have been offered us. I believe we have become a more purposeful group because of the experience through which we have passed, and we are indeed grateful to you. the taxpayers of this community, for your loyal, unfaltering support of our school through this difficult period of its history. As we turn away from the sheltering, constructive influence of this great institution, we go, not only with a feeling of deep appreciation in our hearts, but with a determination to live as worthily as our training has prepared us to live. With this high resolve in mind we greet you tonight, you who have given us rare opportunities for growth through education. Be assured of our gratitude, our pledge of loyalty to the finer things of life, and our happiness because of your presence here. On behalf of the graduating class of 1933, I greet you. Dorothy Miller, Sulutatorian, ’33. Page Fourteen
