At these Commencement exercises, which mark the close of our High School life, we, the class of 1919 of Lee Academy, extend to you all a cordial welcome. America is now passing through one of the most critical periods of her career. It is a time of grave significance for the coun- try and its people. The whole future of the nation depends upon the ultimate out- come of the adjustments that are now go- ing on.
