lPtRlESllllDllElXllVS X-MDIDRIESS R. T. BLACKSTOCK Ladies and Gentlemen: It is, indeed, a privilege and a great pleasure to greet you on behalf of the Senior Class of 1948. As we are assembled here for one of the happiest days of our lives, we hope that to-day will be as enjoyable to you as it is to us. For twelve years, we have worked and toiled to reach this point in our career. At last it is here, and now that we have reached it, we are glad and yet sad-glad to have attained our goal, but sad, because we shall miss the fellowship which has prevailed 3I'l'l0I1g US. A To our teachers, may we express our greatest appreciation and deepest gratitude. At times, no doubt, we have appeared indifferent in regard to the importance of the vast fields of knowledge which you endeavored to open up to us. Yet, we want to assure you that your efforts have not been in vain, and as the years pass by, we shall look back with deep appreciation for what you have done for us. Classmates, there is a feeling of sorrow in our hearts, for this is the parting of the ways. just what the future holds in store for us, we do not know. War clouds are gathering again, and whether we shall be permitted to graduate into a world at peace in order to pursue our various ways of life remains to be seen. But regardless of what tomorrow may be like, we should go forward toward the next milestone of our career with a solemn purpose to make the most and the best of the powers which God has given us. We should be determined not to swerve from the course we decide upon, but like Columbus, when he was seeking a route to the East Indies by sailing west, we should have persistence to 'lSail on and on! regardless of the obstacles placed in our way. We must believe in ourselves as our ancestors did if we and our country are to go forward instead of backward. Emerson, the American sage, has well said, Trust thyself! -Accept the place the Divine Providence has found for you.-Let us advance and advance on chaos and the dark! Aside from this more serious part of our lives, we have assembled here this morning to enjoy our Class Day exercises, and we wish that you may do likewise. As the numbers on our program are given, may you realize that this is only a touch of the fun we have enjoyed together. i Friends of jackson High School, we gladly welcome you.
