cause we shall profit by .the experience, so there will not be a recurrence of the weakness.. As we each ascend our stairways, we shall try to fit each tomorrow in its proper place, leading ever toward our high goal, set when we took our initial steps alone. I am sure that we shall always continue to work upward, looking back only to remember the happy times in our earlier years. A We hope our life stairways will show our appreci- ation and thanks to our parents, teachers and friends, whose guidance and assistance helped us through these early years to get the right start in our building. Now is the time for us to say farewell to Marcellus High School and each other, as our meetings in the future will be very infrequent. As we go on our various ways, I think we can well keep in mind the thoughts given us in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem The Builders. -Virginia Pfost

VALEDICTGRY Fellow-students, Faculty, Parents and Friends: We are here tonight to take our final step together. We are commencing our lives in an unknown future where we will be going forward step by step, in- dividually building our life's stairway, striving to make each step more secure than the one before. The first individual step of our life will find some carrying on their education through collegeg some through the armed forces of our country, while the rest will divide among the various other walks of life. After this important single step will come many of meager importance, which at the present will seem superfluous, but will in the future help to build secure supports for the steps to come. These supports will be built from many unrealized and subconscious acts that we shall be doing. The association and close contact with people in the un- sheltered life to which we will be exposed, will help us to put people in their proper allocations. Many of the hardships and trials of life to which we are forced to find a solution for ourselves are encountered at this time. Before, these decisions had been either made for us or there had been direct influences which gave us the proper solutions. When we feel that our supports are strengthened enough to hold the balance of our structure, we shall venture forth shaping and fashioning our steps one after the other, making certain that each minute part is placed with the utmost accuracy. The shaping and fashioning of the different steps of each individual's stairway will vary according to the primary steps. A portion of us will construct our steps more rapidly than others, and ascend to fame and fortune. Others of us will go more slowly, but just as determined and with the same measure of security. We realize that our stairways will not be perfect all the way. There will be times when we shall have to repeat the building of certain parts of steps due to weaknesses unforeseen. This, however, will not be time lostg be-
