THE MEDILLITE 93 Valedictory By Pauline Brodsky To the friends gathered here, to the teachers who have been our guides, and to our fellow-students and classmates, it is my privilege to give a last farewell. It is one of the many red-letter days in our lives as we sit here before you upon this solemn occasion. We know what is expected of us on leaving this institution and we take great pride in the school which helped us better ourselves for that purpose. . .fThe high school was the first stepping stone in reaching that goal :for which we were striving. To many of us, the education received here will be the only capital in starting life, while the others will complete their education by attending college. We have indeed advanced far since entering the Medill High School only four long, but seemingly short, years ago. Now we are not the mere hidden shadows that we were when first we enteredg no more are we the ignorant set of students that we were-but, on the contrary, we are emerging victors ready to take our places in the world and render our services, for Service is our great ideal in life. We heartily congratulate the parents and friends for their good judgment in giving us this great opportunity whereby we could pre- pare ourselves for that Service. To the teachers we owe our deepest appreciation for making it possible for us to grasp that opportunity, and we sincerely hope and pray that their labors will be repaid by the Services that we shall have to offer. Tonight many of us are assembled together perhaps for the last time. Some may meet in later years, others may not, but whether we meet or nottonight with its trials and triumphs will be regarded as an epoch in the careers of some of us, as a day worth remembering by all of us. s FELLOW-CLASSMATES: I can wish nothing higher or happier for us than that through our lives in joy and sorrow, in brightest sun- shine and deepest shadow, there may remain with us the conscious- ness of duty well performed, of suffering nobly endured, of life faith- fully lived. And as the word of severance parts us, let us go out to our labor resolved each' one to' play the part of the scholar and the man. Farewell! V M I ' 1.
