Page Twelve T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number Salutatory There isg an old legend that tells of a king. who. each year. visited certain of his faithful subjects, who strove in every way to entertain him iittingly. His chief delight was to walk in their gardens where flowers of every variety bloomed. Regardless of weather. rejoicing in the different blossoms. he wandered. As fondly as he loved the beautiful rose. he loved the shy violet. No flower was too insignifif cant to draw a word of praise from his lips. Our garden. like theirs, contains many kinds of flowers-some blighted and faded: some radiant and fresh. With the hope that you too will rejoice among the blossoms that we have devel- oped, the Class of 1926 welcomes you to-night. Viola Barker Valedictory Classmates: To-night we meet here to receive our diplomasf These are the credentials, the passwords which will admit us to this new and fine college life. lVhether we go on in the quest of education or not, let us give forth the best that is in us. With unwavering determination, firm courage and high ideals, let us tight on in the game of life. Let us all make the varsity squad of successful men and women. We cannot fail to earn our letter if we have strength of purpose. Let us secure success for ourselves, honor to those we love, and prestige for the teachers and school that have given us such a fine start in life. With this pulrpose in mind, let us go forth into the world with light hearts. With the pleasantest of recollections, the fondest of mem- ories and the finest of ideals, let us say Goodbye forever to I.e Roy High School.
