ADDRESS OF WELCOME Parents, Teachers, and Friends: The senior class at Holyoke High School is fortunate and thankful to be able to present the first peace-time Class Day exercises since 1941. We are fortunate and we are thankful also to have parents and teachers whose prime endeavor has been to preserve and pass on to us the permanent features of education through the chaotic world conditions which have prevailed during our high school years. To our parents we owe a debt of gratitude which words cannot express. From our earliest youth they have instructed us in the American ideals of. love of God and country which three years of high school have nourished and developed in our minds and in our hearts. Every goal that we have reached and every success we have attained reflects the sacrifice, the patience, and the understanding of those who have sponsored our undertaking, our parents and our teachers. We are now ready to take our place in an uncertain world. We fully understand that we, the high school graduates of today, must preserve and guard the peace which has been so dearly won. With this thought in mind, it is reassuring to know that we possess the best possible foundation to undertake the task, This foundation is a good education, and it is for this education that we extend to our principal, Mr. Fitzpatrick, and to all the faculty, our deepest thanks. When we entered Holyoke High School three years ago, this day seemed far distant. But now we have completed this period of our formal training. We are eager to advance to the next phase of our lives, but our eagerness is somewhat dulled when we realize how many friends will be separated when we setforth from this school. For this reason we rejoice in the oppor- tunity to review our three years at Holyoke High School. It is my privilege today to extend to you, in behalf of the members of the class of 1946, a most cordial welcome to our Class Day Exercises. .
