P3894 THE OVV L 'Ualeclictory --l-iq lt is said that every rose has its thorn, every joy has its undercurrent of sorrow, certain it is that the class of 1938 finds the pleasure of achievement dimmed by the severing of school and class companionships. To the shortest path and the longest lane there comes an end 5 inevitable change brings the sweet sad word- farewell. NVe leave our school with deep appreciation of the advantages it has given us. Education is capital, by investing it wisely we may be- come factors in the world's progress. Modern development seeks to give a three-fold develop- ment and send forth students upright in char- acter, vigorous and healthy of body, alert and trained in mind, that they may give to life the combined efforts of heart, hands and head. It is our pride that we receive our diplomas of graduation from a school that has given us this up-to-date training. Superintendent, Members of the School Com- mittee: To you we would express our thanks forthe privileges you have given us through our school, and for the courtesies extended to our class. Members of tl1e Faculty: In behalf of the class of 1938 I would say that we bid you fare- well with sincere regret. Your enthusiasm and kindly interest in our advancement has lighten- ed thc gloom of lessons and made classroom work a pleasure. Parents: During this hour each mother is proud of her daughter and each father of his son. It is through you, our mothers and fa- thers, and your diligent efforts that we have been able to attend school regularly and punc- tually. VVe have reached this step on the lad- der of knowledge through your assistance and encouragement. Often you have almost forced us to go to school. We were probably bitter then, but tonight we are glad and very grateful that you did, dear parents. To my Classmates: Though the time for farewell has come and we shall meet no more as seniors, let us retain the ties that have bound us during the happy years of work in dear Madawaska High and pay our debt to our school by years of noble living. In conclusion, I can only quote Shakespeare's words: 'WVelcome ever smiles And farewell goes out sighing. Artheline Dufour, '38 tt lt
