Helen Bourne Faculty Adivsors ............ Miss Flugum—Mr. Norton GODSPEED Your study in high school is finished. You have learned, through training, the possibilities of hard work; through guid- ance, the wisdom of a constructive attitude toward life; and through experience, the value of suffering and self-denial. You are ready, now, to go on. Much more alone, you must meet the struggle of life, and henceforth stand upon your own re- sources, May the memories of lessons learned keep your mind alert and your heart glad with the pleasure of work. May your days be full of accomplishment, and when you meet the tasks of life that test the real measure of your worth, may you have the courage to face these situations bravely. Choose well your line of industry, business, or profession, Go forth to the battle of h man affairs, equipped with the light of knowledge, the glow of health, the armor of a strong character, and the thrill of the romance of endeavor, Animate your soul to its supreme effort and your mind to its keenest mental exertion. Keep the torch of faith and hope burning brightly in your heart. Give, and worry not about the return. Fight with the weapons of truth and justice, scorn the spoils of dishonor, and turn not back until the joys of success are yours, —-E, H.

WELCOME Brother and Sister, Students, Mothers and fathers, mem- bers of the board, teachers and friends, we the class of nine- teen thirty-three heartily welcome you to our class night, so- called because it is our first appearance as a class. This is perhaps the first time that most of you have seen us together, a8 a class, 48 you see us here tonight and for some of you it will be the last opportunity you will have to see us. For four years now we have been working toward this end. Working toward the day when we could be before you as a class on this platform. Working and striving toward the day when we could graduate from and begin a somewhat different life, perhaps, outside Maroa Community High School. . We are happy to know that so many of you were interest- ed in seeing and being with us tonight, a night that we shall all of us always cherish in our memories. Class night is one of the happiest and most cherished nights o. a graduate’s life, and we are more than glad to fhare it and our happiness with you. We are gathered here tonight, not to show our grief in leaving our old high school, but although we are grieved in leaving, we are here to spend an evening of happiness. We are trusting that you will join in our evening whole-heartedly, and are hoping that you will remember this evening, perhaps, half as long as we will, We hope that you enjoy the program we have planned for you this evening and trust that you will bear with us through it all, considering that this is our first appearance as a class. Words cannot tell the feelings that are deep in the heart of each of this group this evening. They could not half tell the happiness that is ours. Nor could words express the grate- fulness we feel in having been able to reach this goal. I would like now, in behalf ot my class, to thank all and each of you who have in any way made it possible for us to gradu- ate from Maroa Community High School. Our parents and guardians, who have sacrificed things they desired that WE might go on, our teachers, who have so patiently and faithfully given their aid throughout our high echool years, our board of directors, who have so carefully done their work, our community, who made it possible that we could complete our course in this beautiful building, we thank you. We wigh to thank Mr, Menke individually, who became principal when we were Freshmen, and who has been with us and has faithfully helped us fight our battles throughout four high school years. ; We are hoping that some day all of us will make the best of use of the training and knowledge we have secured, so you who have helped us will not feel that our efforts and yours were al! in vain. We the class of nineteen hundred thirty-three, egain thank you for the opportunities you have given us and welcome you to our class night program. Thank you, -— EVELYN DASH, Salutatorian. Joins Reforestation Corps Donald Hayden was not able to attend Baccaulerate serv- ices, nor will he be able to attend Commencement exericises, as he left Saturday with the second contingent of Macon Coun- ty'’s reforestation group. Donald has signed up for six months and will spend this time on government reforestation projects. Donald was ever industrious, and in these times when many young people are idle, he has found something to do. It is not highly renumerative, but better be doing that than nothing at all. VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH My friends: The happiness which this occasion brings to us, the class of '33, is mingled with deep regret. Regret that our high school days—happy days they have been, are ended. Our high school life has been like the sun’s journey across the sky. On the morn of our high school career we started out with rosy hopes. Our school life stretched out calm and untroubled. But clouds appeared occasionally to dim the sun- chine. Lessons were often difficult and demanded a great deal of preparation. Some of us become discouraged and lag- ged along the way—but most of us worked steadily on, con- quering the obstacles which presented themselves. We start- cd on our high school career with a very definite goal in sight ——that of a diploma and graduation. We—-whom you see be- fore you this evening have cempieted our appointed task and attained that desired goal. To our parents we owe our love and praise for their aid and understanding in helping us to obtain a high school educa- tion. Many parents have denied themselves in order that their boy or girl might be at least moderately well equipped to face life’s problems and maintain a worthwhile plane in the difficult walks of life. We thank the community for the fine building, in which it has been our priviledge to study. We wish to express our gratitude to the teachers for the patience, good will and personai interest which they have dis- p.ayed. To Mr. Menke, our “Skipper” we extend our gratitude, good will and high esteem. During our four years of school- ing he has wisely and nobly performed his duty. He has indeed been a real “Skipper.” And now, dear classmates, we find ourselves here at the cnd of the lane—facing the setting sun of our high school days. Many paths branch out before us. We cannot all choose the came path. Some of us will set out on one—and some an- o.her—-and so our class will dissolve. Never again will we work together again as a class, in a uniform body. The memory of these pleasant school days will linger in our memory for many years—and in the future when we look back to these light-hearted days, 'twil be with a feeling of regret that they are gone. Four years have come—and gone. And now with deep regret we bid farewell to our happy high school days. We know that these years have been full, worthwhile years, which will help us to live sane, controlled and well-balanced lives in the future. Our efforts and the effort of those who have helped us have not been in vain—for These bright days of youth are the seedtime. Every thought of the intellect, every motion of the heart, every word of the tongue, every principle adopted, every act performed, is a seed, whose good or evil fruit will be the bliss or bane of after life. And so—we—the class ot '83—pbid you farewell. -DORIS PRIDE, Valedictorian.
