Speeches Our Vision of Success Clarabelle Courtney, Valedictorian ' Success in life is no more than the final achievement of a certain goal. Our goal is to strive to conquer the unconquerable. All those who have a vision to obtain a kind of success in life strive to reach this goal. Thus far we have been guided by our parents and teachers. Now we, as high school graduates, are going to strive to conquer some particular field of occupation. VVe are thrilled with the joy of knowing that we are completing the secondary course of school training. VVe are ready to step forward into a new life and take our places where duty calls us. Some of us will further our educa- tion and study before engaging in our life work, but it is up to us as individuals to decide what that work will be. We must prepare ourselves to carry out our desires and plans for the future. Each one of us has down deep inside a secret self where we keep a vision of the kind of man or wom- an Vwe hope to be. If we are to achieve a worth- while quality of living, we must put forth an hon- est effort of service and devotion. Each one of us must develop his individual talents before he can achieve success and contribute to the future world. VVe have expectations of accomplishing many worthwhile things no matter what occupation we may choose. Tomorrow is the stern reality facing each and every youth today. Our world is constantly grow- ing so we need to develop ourselves socially. VVith the advance in 'speed we must be able to get along with our fellowmen, not only in this nation, but also in the world as well. Our expanding com- munities are a challenge for us to strive to be co- operative and friendly with all people, regardless of race, creed, or color. Society needs the kind of young people who possess a willingness to go forth and do their best. We are grateful for the opportunities which we have already had and for the ones laid before us. Especially are we happy to live in a free country and have the privilege of making a suc- cess in life because of our education. We also realize the necessity of religion in our lives. It was not meant for all of us to become famous, but we are remembering that often the little things can become some of the largest contributions if we put our whole heart into them and let God be our guide. If our visions are longsighted enough, our future may be focused directly to our sight. We, the seniors of 1949, are striving to conquer the unconquerable with our vision of success in occupation, in society, and in religion. And so, as we bid each other and Holden High School farewell, we would not forget to express our sincere thanks to our parents, teachers, and friends for their guidance in this part of our edu- cational program. We realize that the end of our high school life is only a stepping stone to a new career which we shall make ourselves in a new environment. As a parting thought. I should like to leave with you this quotation, entitled, XVhy They NVere Successful. Because they were cheerful when it was dif- ficult to be cheerful, and patient when it was dif- ficult to be patient, and because they pushed on when they wanted to be still, and kept silent when they wanted to talk and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and always will bel - - -Anonymous Schoolclay's Welcome By Dana Rae Hough, Salutatorian Friends, parents, and faculty, we wish to ex- tend to you a hearty welcome on this, our last schoolday. Tonight will be a reflection of the knowledge that we have absorbed during our past twelve years of training. We Wish to thank you for the interest that you have shown in making it possible for us to receive this training which will be so necessary in our future life. Tomorrow we shall begin our performance in the great drama of life. We shall be actors, each playing his part to the best of his ability. This new adventure will be one which we have never before encountered. As we meet our responsibili- ties We shall experience the various degrees of joy and sorrow. It will be necessary for us to increase the speed at which we are now living if we are going to find our places in the world. We will not all be leaders but all of us must determine whether or not we are making the world a better place for ourselves and the youth which will follow us. To gain these objectives we must truly live up to our motto: Strive to conquer the unconquer- able. We must set our goals high and keep our ideals on a high basis if we are to attain the height of the goals. It is you, our friends, who will aid us greatly in our new adventure. We are leav- ing our schooldays but we are not leaving you and we trust that you will not leave us. We will al- ways be turning to you for your kind advice or following the examples of living which you place before us. In this way you will be helping us to reach our goal in life. WVe must look to God to help us find the po- sition in our life to which we may best apply our ability. He is truly our greatest leader but one which we are prone to forget. His helping hand is large and strong and he will extend it to us if we will only lift up our faces and ask for aid. Again we, the senior class of 1949, bid you wel-- come. W'e hope you will so enjoy the remainder of our schoolday that you will never feel that the interests you have placed in us have been in vain. Presiclent's Farewell By Glenn Timmons Faculty, friends, and paren-ts, I should like to thank you for your interest shown in coming here tonight. To us this is a great occasion as we have worked twelve long and hard years to attain this goal--graduation. To do so there had to be help and cooperation lent to us from all sides. 'VVe seniors may not have shown our appreciation for your help in actions or expressed ourselves in words, but we value your help given to us more than actions or words can indicate. May I speak for the entire class when I say thank you from the depth of our hearts. Seniors, it has been a privilege to serve as the president of the Class of 1949. May I wish for you, happiness and success as you strive to conquer the unconquerablef' '- ir '-1 ' -1 i -
