Salutatory 7-Kddress We, the fiftieth graduating class of Leavitt Institure, wish to welcome you to our commencement exercises today. We desire to extend an especial welcome to those members of the first class of Leavitt Institute who are present. May I express a sincere feeling of friendship in extending our greet ing to you, one and all, as friends of this graduating class. Today at the end of these exercises, as we step forth with our diplomas in hand, we enter into what has been rightly called a 'Golden Opportunity'. Since we toddled to school on that first day, many have been the paths along which we have stumbled. Our school years from the first until now have held many and varied experiences. In all our past training one fact has been emphasized. It is that 'No man knows what a day may bring forth in the way of opportunity, nor at what point the door may be thrown open which shall be the entrance into his great chance for life.' The doors of free education have been thrown open to us, and we have become a part of the general educational system of the United States. In comparison with the educational system used fifty years ago, our present program has numerous improvements which were, possibly, only dreams then. Many of those dreams have come true for persons who have grasped these opportunities. Large amounts of money have been spent each year to main- tain our standards. As a result of these expenditures, our opportunities have increased. Our schools have expanded their curricular and extra curricular activities, all of which have helped us to find the correct doors leading to more knowledge. There is an old saying that 'Opportunity knocks but once'. This, however- is a fallacy, for again and again young and old open the door to find her stand- ing there. Probably for all of us the most important door to open is the one over whose threshhold we step today. There we step into a world, war-torn and strife-ridden. When we step through these doors, we shall meet face to face the many problems in this stricken world. Here is another opportunity - - an opportunity to make a better world. How are we going to meet it? In the past we have taken advantage of many opportunities. We have learned many things through 'trial and error'. When a child makes a mistake, he is told what is correct. When a student cannot do an example, he studies it, or if his first efforts are in vain, he learns how to do it correctly. When a baby is learning to walk, it falls many times. Does the baby stop trying because it fell? No, he keeps trying. ln our history books, we have learned much about our heritage. XYe have seen the mistakes our country has made and how her controversies were reconciled. In our school years we have sat through long classes, lived through long tests and studied on good spring evenings. Now that we must deal with the more difficult problems of life, may the knowledge that we have acquired through the guidance and care of teachers, parents, and friends carry us through. Whatever may be our future course of action, on one thing we may rely, 'The only assurance that we are not missing the one opportunity lies in making the most of every opportunityf Mvrtle Bisbee
