Page 6 '1' II E O W L ,Salutatory -. ..... lt is a distinct pleasure which is mine, on this program, to extend to each one of you the official welcome of the senior class of the Madawaska High School. If you have waited as expectantly for our graduation hour as we have, then we know just how glad you are that you are here. NVe are certain that this occasion will prove a very happy one for us, the group graduating, and for you, the group which has come to witness the award of the diplomas. 'l'herefore, let me bid you a hearty welcome. Within the space of a short time we shall have to leave you and will go to extend another welcome, Soon We shall be handed our diplomas, which, in a sense, is our dismissal from high school. Then we shall be out on the world's doorstep bidding 'fhello' and welcome to the opportunities which are be- yond that doorstep. One thing high school has taught us: That is to hail a fellow passenger on life's merry cruise with a smile. Therefore, you may rest assured that we go forth from this high school with a smile in our hearts, faith in our eyes, and a cheerful upward curl of our lips. VVith the same cheerfulness that we greet you in welcome to our commencement exercises, we greet the future which is beyond. There are reasons why we can be cheerful as we go from this high school. XVe can smile because we are confident. Our courses in high school have taught us to have confidence, first, in ourselves, if We would have others be confident in us. NVe can smile, because we believe that any individual who wishes to succeed may succeed, if he tries hard enough, because We believe that there is no failure except Within the heart of an individual. XVe believe that people fail only because they fail themselves. NVe have not failed. NVe have kept our faith with ourselves as we have forged ahead to reach our graduation from High School. You have not failed because you have kept faith with yourselves, and the community, in providing educational facilities for us. XVe are the product of your efforts. YVe can be hopeful because we are students of history. History has point- ed out to us that for each age and generation there is opportunity for those who seek it. History has shown us that the world's population moves on, leav- ing the affairs of governments and man in the hands of the rising generation. We can have faith because history has shown us how each generation has solv- ed its problems, and given happiness to people. We can smile because we be- lieve that our hour upon the stage of time has arrived. Again we welcome you to our commencement exercises, which mark the close of our high school career, and the entrance into a larger world of living. Blanche R. Vanier, '38 2 1 i

P11863 TIIE OW L Ft gg LES PROBLEMES DE LA JEUNESSE D'AUjOURD'HU1 Quel sont les probilemes de la jeun'esse d'aujourd'l1ui ? Au sens general ce sont les proiblinines que hes personnes de tous les siecles eurent et ceux qui contfrontent tout Vliumaniite -a present. La jeunesse doit se pourvoir danfs l'avenir et il n'y a pas de doute qu'elle va se pourvoir. Il nfy a pas un adult present qui ne puisse se raippeier de quelques aninees quand l'univers repetait la meme chose it Vegard de la jueunesse d'autre'fois qu'aujourld'hui. Aujourd'hui nous avons le proibleme de se pourvoir dans le monde economique. La persistence dies tympes les plus vigoreux est une cfhose qui survit encore. Pour vivre dans ce,tte age modern, il faut etre caipatblie de tenir tete aux 6V6H'E'II16I1tSv qui se presentent. Les eicoles modernes aclievent une tache merveilleuse en exerqant les -eleives pour trouver leur vocation. Des cours sur la condruite et la ,profession ont accompli et accomplissent b-eaucoup 51 assister les jveunes person-nes it se plafcer dans le monde commercial. Nous avoims aussi le prdbleme de s'ajuster au degre de morale reclame par l'univers. Cellui-ci est uni dies problemes les plus diffi- ciles qui se presente. N'ayant pas Vexperience sage qu'ont les per- sonnfes les plus agees, nous sommes un peu perdus dans lie royaume de morale ret de refigion. Ceipendant tous siecles etclaircissent de tels prohlemes, et, la direction du temps a indique que la jeun-esse se met seriteusement at Vouvrage et arrivera it un but satisfaisant. Un autre profbleme important que nous avons dest die s'ajuster au peuple mondain. Un doit savoir dans la vie moclerne 'comm-ent s'acconder les uns avec les autres. Les anciennes lignees d'autre- fois, dans lesquellass des querelles duraient des tgenierations, sont maintenant disparues. Telles clmses resemblent des haines et des rancunes qui durent et n'on-t 'pas de place dans l'univers ou le peuple cirfcule rapidement. En autrae mots, les proiblemes, qui nous confrontent aujourd'hui, sont les problemes eternels qui confrontaient tous les ado-lescents sans egard it la nation qui les reclamaienit. Comment gagner sa vie et dlonnver une vie honoratble au peuple sont les problemes qui nous confrontent aujourdlhui. Dans cette circonstance, sans doute, b-eaucoup de vous se de- mfmdeut qu 'est-ee que les differents membres de cette classe feront dans l'avenir. Comme d'autres gradues de la t'Madawaska High School ont resolu leurs problemeis. ainsi nous esperons de resou- dre lies notres. Nous trouvons qu-e notre eeole a bien fait son devoir. Main- tenant nous essayerons d'attaquer les ,proflmlemes dfevant nous et des eclaircir avec reconnaissance at inotre alma mater' et a nous- memes. Rita Dufour, '38 Y i 3
