VALEDICTORY LeRoy Ellis My Friends: You are gathered here this evening to witness the graduation exercises of the Class of '35, the first class to hold this event in this new auditorium. This is in- deed a very important occasion for each of us, and as we sit here, we are not sure whether we are happy or sad. Supposing you were being graduated from high school here tonight, facing present business conditions with our chance for em- ployment, would you be happy upon your graduation, or would you prefer to say that you would continue in school. Big business continues to employ fewer men because machines are cheaper and more efhcient. Then if an education will not get you a job, is it worth while? The question that arises then is: Has it paid us to spend four years in high school and then be unable to get a job? It is difticult to evaluate an education in dollars and cents. Hut is this alone the mission of education? VVe have stepped out of an era in which wealth was always made the objective. Social conditions have so changed our complex life that we are now attaining new standards and establishing new goals. Objectives of education have changed, too. Thusg we graduates are glad to have had a high school education. We realize that we can- not expect to be employed immediately, because millions like us have no employ- ment. Yet we value our education. We have spent four joyous years in high school. XVe have learned to work with one anotherg to share our talentsg to help our school. VVe have enjoyed each other's friendship. Our school days have been days of pleasant associationsg they have helped us make ourselves. To become capable citizens of this country we need an education. We must be able to understand affairs of government. XVe need to reason in our business transactions. We must be able to think for ourselves so we can pass our opinions. We must be able to make decisions promptly and accurately. Education broadens our experience, and only from experience can we decide what we should do. To enjoy life fully we need to read. Do you like to read good books? Do you enjoy reading about anotherls experience? Would you want to live without magazines and newspapers? A review of the economic and business world is con- stantly before us through newspaper publications. There is an increasing demand for public opinion. Shall we have a share in that? Does it call for educated citi- zenry? Nations have failed because the masses have failed. VVe help form the massesg so we should do our share in making ours, a nation of better citizens. As we Seniors graduate tonight, we Find perhaps a cloudy future awaiting us. Hut we also find that the world can use more educated citizens. We are glad that we have had the opportunity to get a needed high school education. We are glad that we can enjoy the things happening about us because we have had the privi- lege of studying them. We hope that in the future we may become honorable citi- zens and co-builders of a new tomorrow. N NETEEN 0 THIRTY 0 FIVE 0 WIN NEL l20l
