SALUTATORY Friends, it is with sincerest pleasure that we welcome you to these graduation exercises of the Hrst class to complete its senior year in the new high school. During the course of the last year and a half it has been our privilege to witness the construction of the new building, and now as the first graduating class we wish to express our appreciation for it and our pride in it. To face, with the right attitude, those trials which we shall encounter, and to meet their great challenges, we must revert to our previous school experience. In so doing we shall recall the problems encountered under the trying conditions of the old building and those difficulties lightened by the environment of the new. With its appearance we had not only a new school but a new spirit, new hope, and added prestige. Those who really comprehend the actual worth of the opportunities which the public schools afford have found what Lincoln, Franklin, and many others strove for - the opportunity to learn. In this world of today where strife and turmoil are ever present, it is necessary that we be prepared. It is my belief that regardless of what changes may take place, regardless of political unheavals, regardless of economic disturbances and changes, a nation which gives to its youth the opportunity for study and education that the schools of the United States give will perpetuate itself to the everlasting good of its people. So to-day as we review the past, relate the present, and dwell in the future, we bid you listen and be happy. Parents, teachers, and friends- we salute and welcome you. N ey Eldred if25l
