Presidents Address fit! Elinor Gibbs Many and important have been the events in our school life. We have experienced the trials and tribulations of our Freshman year, the quickening interest of our Sophomore year, the inspirations of our Junior year and the awakening of our Senior year. For it is an awaken- ing-now as never before we realize that something new lies before us. But not one event is there that can compare with tonight-this night that might be called the first turning point in our lives. Tonight we wish to express to the school board our appreciation of their efforts to provide for us a good school. To our teachers in whom we have placed our trust these past years, we give our sincere thanks for the un- faltering, unending aid that they have given us over the many obstacles we have encountered in our school life. And our parents-it is to them we owe our education. They have given us one else that we lines by our own something that will be invaluable to us and something that no could have given. They have directed our habits into paths will always follow. They have moulded our characters into which we will always be judged. For their sakes-if not for -we must now succeed in our life work. To our school also we owe the promise that we will succeed. Noth- ing is harder than to succeed without a background of knowledge and that has been given us by our school. This year has shown us that life is not all play, that more serious and better things lie before us, that all must decide what our life work shall be and that soon we shall be striking out for ourselves. High school has shown many different phases of life to us and from these we must choose our vocation but whatever it is we will do it in the best and most honorable way. We will give to the world the best we have that the best may come back to us. Classmates, it is you who have given me the privilege of delivering the President's Address and this privilege I regard with great reverence. I hope I have fulfilled the trust you placed in me. Words will not ex- press to you my thanks but I do say to you, remember- How poor his triumph is who has Won Because strong friends have willed it so Have pulled the strings and schemed in cunning ways To drag him up or raise him from below. How splendid is his triumph who has won Alone, unaided, honor and renown, Who owes no thanks and rises to his own Despite the world's attempt to keep him down.
