Burdened we with heavy hearts Knowing now that we must part. Classmates, parents, friends of all, Gather we in this great hall To pay tribute to our school, May it never fail to rule, Every happy day well spent, Days which we shall not repent. Alma Mater, wind is high, We set sail and say good-bye, Whispering words of fond adieu To begin our lives anew. Precepts strong for our ideals, May our ships have steady keels.

. Cgrzthualinn 7wiur2z-3 Welcoming Speech Stanley Britton, 1946 Our families, our teachers, our friends, we welcome you this afternoon to our graduation exercises that you may share with us an experience so long anticipated, an experience that we shall always cherish. Now that our dreams of graduating are about to materialize, our emotions are strangely conflicting, for the happiness and pride we feel today is some- what colored by more serious thoughts. We are happy because we have successfully completed three years of study and play at Classical High School, and we are now ready for that new and exciting adventure of mature life. We are sorry, for we realize that after today we can no longer walk through the halls of our school with that feeling of active participation which has characterized our past three years. Shortly, now, we will leave behind us a life which we can never forget, which we never wish to forget. Memories of friendships and of shared experiences which are the essential part of all high school activities surge into our minds and are somewhat tinged with sadness this moment. And yet we feel a great pride in ourselves, for we well realize the significance of these experiences. We know that our privilege of participation in them is one we have willingly and fairly earned. A high school diploma is a symbol of one period in our lives successfully completed, it is a badge of merit, and as such we prize it. We know, too, that today is in the nature of an end and a beginning. Today we step out from a sheltered and carefree life into one of duties and responsibilities. For three years, our school has been our personal miniature world under the protection of leaders and parents. We leave this protection with a slight pang of fear to face com- plexities of the modern world. For the future that lies ahead and our part in it, our training at high school has somewhat prepared us. For that training, and the privileges we have enjoyed in our school system, we are grateful, and that gratitude we wish to express to you. The class of 1946, then, is happy to welcome you, our parents, our teachers, our friends, to these our Commencement Exercises, knowing well that our joy today is your Joy. mSmDmDmDwDaDaDmDwSmEQmDmEQwa'2wDQwmi3?wDmS six
