-0-f'-'-f-0---1-0-f-M U55 fagfs -0-----i--0-------0--' Senior Activities r But What is our Tomorrow By Peggy Simmerman. Valediciorian Parents, faculty, and friends: This stage is set for a scene similar to this every year. Many high school graduates have reached this turn in the highway of life. To many of you this is just a casual occa- sion, but to us it is a great milestone in our lives. The closing of our senior year is only the beginning of our adult lives. Our class chose as its motto: We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. As we travel along this well-worn high- way, we realize that we have done a great deal toward getting that which will help us live a full life. We are now finishing the foundation of our preparations for the problems that we are to meet. During the past twelve years we have been setting the standards by which we will live. Our parents and teachers have been re- sponsible for this molding of our characters, and it is to them that we want to say, Thank You . Their training will give us the courage to accept the challenges of life, to approach each problem thoughtfully and to strive cheer- fully for the answer. We want to use our talents wisely to gain for ourselves the best things in life. We have healthy bodies. alert minds, and the good wishes of our friends to brighten the road ahead. A life well-lived is a life in which one has given - in many instances, more than he has received. We can expect our tomorrow to be in accordance with our today. Many of us will need further education in order to make a liv- ing in our chosen career, but we can begin now to give what we have - a friendly smile and a helping hand. As has been stated many times, It's a lone road that has no turning . We must be ready for each turn, regardless of what may be around the bend. We are young, but years have no monoply on ambition. We must build a better future upon the foundation we have gained. In closing I would like to quote the last stanza of Roofs by Joyce Kilmer. They say life is a highway and its milestones are the years, And now and then there's a toll-gate where you pay your way with tears, It's a rough road and a steep road and stretches broad and far, But it leads at last to a Golden Town where Golden Houses are. This Is Our Today By Jane Fisher, Salutaiorian Mr. Hirni, Faculty, Parents and Friends: It is my privilege to welcome you to our Class Night Program. In the past twelve years we seniors have worked together, played together and learned together. Soon we shall receive the passports that will start us on the voyage of life. We have received the best that the public schools can offer. This is our today - but what of the fu- ture? In the past, we have relied on our par- ents and teachers for help: now we will be on our own. Some will go on to collegeg others will find jobs, many right here in this community. I believe that each one will prove himself wor- thy of the work and planning that have gone into these years of schooling. We shall certainly not suffer from the lack of problems to be solved. If we can con- tribute to the welfare of our country, then our education will have served its purpose. Tonight you are witnessing a scene of one of America's finest institutions -- the public school system. It is as much a part of our De- mocracy as the Declaration of Independence: it is the very essence of our form of govern- ment. With the completion of our high school studies, we have reached an important mile-- stone in our lives. To our parents, it means we have grown up : to our community, it means that we are well on our way toward as- suming the duties and responsibilities of citi- 'zenship - carrying new ideas, new vigor, and new strength to our nation. For we have learned more than the tra- ditional reading, writing and arithmetic. We have been taught the American way of life. In all of our activities, we have seen Democracy in action, and we leave this school with a con- crete understanding of the principles that have made America great. We know that America's strength lies in her people, and that a strong nation must be well informed. That is the significance of our graduation: and a firm belief in Democracy is our most cherished heritage from Holden High School. Again, it is a pleasure to welcome you to our Class Night Program and to have you share with us these Moments To Remember . Class Song Our Memories Tune Moments To Remember Words by Anneita Hancock The day we entered Holden High, And now the day we say goodbye, We will have these moments to remember. The dances that we had each fall, The banquet, and the Eagle Ball, We will have these moments to remember. Though the years may slowly come and go, And the present disappears, The laughter we were glad to share Will echo through the years. As we leave and say goodbye, We can't forget dear Holden High, And we will have these moments to remember.
