,ljaLcbcfory Carol Boesl America today stands on the threshold of great- ness undreamed of a few short decades ago. The world has expanded its boundaries beyond the horizon, creating unlimited opportunity for us who are graduating here tonight. To help us prepare for this challenging future we have just completed four years of educational, spiri- tual and emotional growth under the wise and un- tiring supervision of many persons dedicated to our well-being. We wish to express to them our heart- felt appreciation. Mr. Roberts, our esteemed principal who brought to us at Kensington his rich background of experi- ence gleaned from many years of high school od- ministration - in two short years you have en- deared yourself to us all. We shall never forget your friendliness and wholehearted devotion to our welfare. Mr. Kelly, to you we extend our sincere thanks not only for your understanding of our many prob- lems, your ready advice and approachability, but also for keeping us in line as painlessly as possible whenever the need arose. To all our teachers whose inspiration, patience and encouragement we will long remember, we now express our gratitude. lt is you who perpetuate the spirit of Kensington, so dear to our hearts. We are indeed fortunate to have had so fine a faculty to steer our course and prepare us for our great od- venture into the unknown. ....., ..,, 4,,, -- To you, our devoted parents, we express our ap- preciation for your confidence in our ability, and we hope that our future achievements will reward you for the many sacrifices you made for us. Each of us will now commence his chosen career in life. Each will begin to steer a purposeful course that must be taken alone. Each will encounter problems that must be solved individually. What- ever difficulties may be ahead, whatever tasks may confront us, the knowledge and courage and skill which have become ours in the past four years will stand us in good stead. What names from among our ranks will enter history as explorers of the unknown horizons? Who of us will discover the new worlds that lie iust beyond our seeing eyes? Who will penetrate outer space with all its hidden mysteries? True, some of us will not soar to great and hallowed heights, some will not attain fame or even moderate recognition, but all of us can achieve that inner peace that comes with making the most of opportunity. In this new world without boundaries each of us does have a boundary of capability. lf we strive to reach it, if we do our best, if we give our all, then indeed we shall have succeeded. lf you can't be a highway then just be a trail, If you can't be the sun be a star, It isn't by size that you win or you fail- Be the best of whatever you are! -Carol Ann Boesl. . ,,.....,LL. . 4 ,
