PRESIDENTS ADDRESS The class of 1946 welcomes you to its com- mencement ceremonies. At this time it is ap- propriate .that we should express to you, our parents, teachers, and many friends, the deep gratitude which we feel in our hearts. Thank you for your sacrifice, your wise counsel, and your enduring love. VVithout these, our exercises this evening would be completely devoid of mean- mg. Several months ago my attention was directed to that beautiful but simple memorial plaque in the main entrance of our high school. As I looked at the shaft house pictured there and read the inscription beneath it, I realized that here was embodied the finest traditions and ideals of our city and of our high school, that here was inscribed a message of lasting worth. It reads: Dig deep if you will find the worth in men, in books, and in the earth. Approximately one hundred years ago our people began pioneering this district, extracting from the earth, the treasure which has made for a richer and fuller life. Their task was not an easy one. There were many obstacles to be overcome: there was heartbreak and disappoint- ment, but in the end their unremitting efforts were rewarded. In like manner, let us consider our twelve years of schooling and the education just ahead. We have been digging to find the knowledge and truths which have been inscribed upon the pages of books and in the hearts of men. Some less hardy members of our group dropped out when the going became strenuous, and sought the scant reward which an unfinished effort brings, the temporary benefits which lie upon the sur- face. But like the pioneer, we have been per- suaded that the greater and the more enduring good is more deeply embedded and that to reach it, we shall have to drift in to new and unchart- ed veins. Twelve years of formal education have also taught us .that even an incomplete effort yields rich deposits of high grade ore. Our friendships formed in high school will ever remain as one of our most precious possessions. Our brief glimpse into the world of tomorrow is an invit- ing as well as a challenging one. We have sought the eternal truths of the uni- verse in the science laboratory, the good in men in the works of the great masters. We have broadened our knowledge of the world through geography and the foreign languages, and have sought to find social betterment and racial and cultural understanding. Profitable and accept- able business practices and procedures have oc- cupied the thoughts of many of us. To prepare ourselves for a beneficial use of the leisure time which shall be ours we have studied music, de- veloped hobbies, and have made it a point to keep ourselves physically as well as mentally fit. Now, like the mining engineer, we must be- gin to apply some of the knowledge gained in the classroomg we must gain that experience which is so universally sought and so highly re- garded. 'l'onight's graduation activities com- memorate the completion of the tooling up pro- cess in our lives. In the future we shall seek and find better and more efficient tools, and we shall need them as perhaps has no other people in history. The challenge of the atomic age which began with Nagasaki and Hiroshima poses tremendous problems. The answer to these quuestions must be found if civilization is to survive. First, How can we abolish war? It is evident that another war will mean the twilight of civilization. Sec- ond, How can we establish racial justice and the four freedoms? It is equally evident that any temporary truce without these foundations will be but a delusion and a snare. Classmates, we must strive toward the realization of these goals, for unless they are achieved all the ac- cumulated culture of the ages will avail us little. If success crowns our efforts, We can antici- pate social and economic gains beyond anything previously dreamed. In such an era poverty might well be completely eliminated. Under these conditions the living standards and the opportunities for all of the peoples could be im- measurably raised. Surely the promised rewards justify the additional effort. Let us individually resolve to follow the admonition on the memorial plaque: Dig deep and we shall find the worth in men, in books, and in the earth and use this good for the betterment of mankind. CLASS HISTORY---STATISTICS As our ship nears the Port of Graduation, we should like you to hear the story of our voyage on board the I. H. S. one-nine-four-six. We be- gan our journey on the Sea of Education in September, 1933, with 133 passengers listed. Many'of these changed their route but 49 were added to our number so that 122 of us have reached our goal. Before passports were issued, an investiga- tion of our parentage and home environment was made. It was found that 21 of our fathers and 18 of our mothers were foreign-born, and 76 of our number received birth certificates in Ishpeming. Finnish is the predominant nation- ality found in this group, followed by Swedish, English, French, Irish, Italian, German, Norwe- gian, and Jewish. Czechoslovakian, Dutch, Swiss, Scotch, Austrian, Greek, Bohemian, Bel- gian, Welsh and Danish representatives fully demonstrate the huge melting pot of which we often speak. Seven of us still speak our parents' native tongue. Forty-two per cent of our fathers are employ- ed in the mining industry and 18 per cent of our mothers work outside of the home. We find that 8 have lost their mothers, and 18 have lost their fathers. Many of us are not the first in our family to reach this Port of Education. Sixty-five of our parents also traveled this far, 25 of whom em- barked on another four-year journey to receive college commissions. A total of 113 brothers and sisters made this trip before us, although 5 brothers left to report for war duty. After completing our basic nautical training, we spent the last 4 years in separate groups, following more individual interests. Fifty will be awarded certificates of merit in Science: 20 in Commercialg 16 in Manual Artsg 10 in History and Social Science: 8 in Home Economics: and Page T 'enty -Five
