SALUTATGRY Dear Classmates: lVfe are graduating at a time which makes our class unique. XVe are the only class that spent our four years in this High School while the great World War was being waged. The High School's participation in the many war activities has brought about differ- ent ideas of connection between Uncle Sam and the school. Our Thrift Stamp, Red Cross, and Li-berty Loan drives have given us a feel- ing of patriotism which could never have been felt by former graduates. Through our study of the causes and eflects of the war we have developed a well-balanced sense of right and wrong. Now, classmates, because we are graduat- ing at this time and because we have learned these things we shall be expected to do more than has been demanded of former classes. One hundred and sixty former students of this school fought for victory in ti1n.e of war, but sixty-two of us shall strive for recon- struction and prosperity in time of peace. To be of service at this time we must stand for definite principlesg principles that probably arc not the possession of those who did not enjoy the advantage of a High School educa- tiong principles of Amcricanism, good citizen- ship, and unswerving loyalty, principles which pertain to the up-lift of the moral, mental and physical standards, not only of the United States. but of the entire world. YVe shall establish these principles by exert- ing our influence, first of all upon those closest to us and later as our education reaches a higher degree of perfection and we become leaders of society, we shall exercise these principles upon a broader plane than any of us can now hope to realize. This is our patriotic duty in peace. It is more prosaic, and less stirring than the white heat activi- ties of war, but it is essential in order that our government may build up the world in the same manner in which she has pro- tected it. Tn the name of the class of 1919, l salute you. RRAYMOND Dl'lNNlCT'l', 'l9. VALEDICTORY fContinued from second preceding page 7 supervise ns in our preparatory work. Moreover. we cannot depart from this scene of our past activities without acknowl edging our debt of gratitude which we owe to all of the teachers who have so ably ttlllgfliil ns and spurred us on at times when we were wont to slump in our work. To our former principal, Mr. llughcs, our present principal, Mr. Rosa and to our super- intendent. Mr. lVatson, we wish to acknowl- edge our appreciation not only for the kindlv interest they took in us, but especially for their unselfish readiness to co-operate at all times with us in any enterprise when we de- sired their assistance. And finally, classmates, even though the tides of life force us apart, let us strive to fill the world's demand for service, constantly remembering that by serving others we are serving ourselves. -STANLEY MOFFETT.
