LEE HIGH 1933 VALEDICTORY Tonight marks the end of our twelfth year in school. We have come to the end of the pathway which our parents, our teachers, and our school board have so care' fully paved for us. I wish to thank the teachers, the school board, and the parents who have given their all that we might have the opportunity to go thus far. Up to this time, education has been easily acquired. Now each one of our class must urge himself On to Greater Things. The going may be rough and the passage barred temporarily. But the thought of all that wealth of knowledge await' ing us, separated from us only by a short stony path, should make each one of us more eager for modern education. Modern education, in itself, is a marvelous phenomenon. There are spheres open to each of us at the end of that path. The aspirant for a doctor's career may gaze in wonder at miracles he had merely dreamed about, soft'eyed, here in high school. The student who yearns to become a chemist may cause an explosion at flrstg but that explosion may blast away a few of the boulders in his pathway. The student of Life may learn of a multitude of things hitherto unthought of. The poet's ideas may mature and with study his present thoughts will pass into the limbo of forgotten things. And the student whose very soul is music may clamor for that vibrant thread which is woven into his life. He will strive over and over for that perfect measure. The person who may become a teacher will live over again the regrets we are experiencing tonight. He must say good-bye again and again to his classes as they pass on into life. Some of us may rise higher and faster than others. But none will forget tonightg and the urge to go On to Greater Things will stay with us along the stony path and linger as we say goodfbye to our friends. Doris Halpen Twenty-two
