This is an occasion that we have been looking forward to for years with an ever-increasing realization of what it is to mean to us: and yet one which also brings with it a feeling of regret for the pleasures and joys which no longer are open to us except through the potency of our memories. Now that We are on the threshold of a new era of our,lives, We pause for a few moments to survey our past at Laurel with a fuller comprehension of all that it has meant to us. We realize that this feeling which comes to us is not a new one: that it is the natural sentiment of all other graduating classes: but we feel that for us it has a new significance. Our emergence into the World as adults will be of greater difficulty and deeper sacrifice than has been the lot of other Senior classes before us. And now as we stand ready to meet the first major crisis in our lives, we appreciate more fully the training and privileges we have enjoyed at Laurel. It is not only for this preparation which Laurel has given us for the struggle which is to be ours that we are gratful, but also for the everbright memories of our school days here which will always serve as a background for our future achievements. We hope that our records in the future. will always be a credit to the high standards of Laurel. Let us make it our aim to stand by its motto: Abeunt studia in mores, always. I5
