MARSHAUTE1945 SALUTATORY L28 Madam President, Members of the Faculty, Classmates, and Friends: Words are inadequate to convey to you the emotions that flood our innermost being. Now that we have reached a goal of youth's ambition, we find that it is not the end, as we supposed, but the Commencement of our lives. So tonight, we bid you a most sincere and hearty welcome to this, the last meeting our class can ever hope to hold. It is impossible for us to express our gratitude to our principal and teachers, for only through their patient efforts and faithful in- struction have we obtained this goal. To us, this is a golden hour, long to be remembered, and we trust that you will invoke Godls richest blessing and guidance to help us steer our boats aright as we sail out on life's tempestuous sea, for, as Longfellow says: Like unto ships far off at sea, Outward or homeward bound, are we. Before. behind, and all around, Floats and swings the horizon's bound, Seems at its distant rim to rise And climb the crystal wall of the skies, And then again to turn and sink As if we could slide from its outer brink. Ah I it is not the sea, It is not the sea that sinks and shelves, But ourselves That rock and rise With endless and uneasy motion, Now touching the very skies. Now sinking into the depths of ocean.

We hope you will find in all We do and say some assurance of your Welcome, realizing that, as a class, we cannot ask you to Come again I STELLA CLARKE Ll-B
