OIlasB PrpBtb nfa Aibr aa By Everett Royden In behalf of the rlass of 1921, I wish to welcome you on this occasion, our last appearance as a class. We deem it a privilege to be here this evening and although we feel a satisfaction in having completed our High School work, yet there is also regret that we shall no longer have the companionship of our schoolmates and teachers which we have so much enjoyed during our High School years. C ur High School years, beginning in 1917 and closing tonight, cover the most critical period in the history of the world. We feel sure, however, that this fact will help to make us truer and more noble citizens. We realize that there are many difficidt problems to be solved before this country of ours returns to the coi’.ditions prior to 1914. The past few years have led some to think that an education is not necessary for success in life. Times, however, are changing and in the few years which lie just before us, more than ever before, the man or woman with an education ' ill be sought after to accept the positions of res ponsi- bility and trust in our country’s industrial ai ' d commercial life. We feel that each one of us has a work to do in demonstrating our patriotism, our ideals of service, as future citizens. In this critical period of reconstruction and adjustment our real worth will be tested in a different way but just as serious way as in the period we have just passed. We can all have a part in it, women as well as men, girls as well as boys. Whatever helps to make the nation better ; whatever serves to help the people of the land ; whatever in any way makes America or any portion of it better worth the living in, will he helping in the great task facing us as citizens today. Whatever elevates individuals, elevates to a greater or less degree the community of which that individual is a part. We trust that as we go forth from Medi na High School we may prove to the world our school is one of the best mills of the country for grinding out individuals that are worth while. We shall make loyalty our controlling spirit and, being loyal to ourselves, to our class and to our school, we shall of necessity be loyal to every claim that the American Nation can demand of the most efficient of her sor.s and daughters in any hour of need. Let us show the world as we step out ir.to its fields of endeavor that we are the stuff the best citizens are made of, carrying in our hearts whatever adversities life may bring, that same spirit of courage and resolution and integrity which we have carried with us during our High School years. We call this commencement, and truly it is, for this class is entering upon life’s real work. What the future holds in store for us we know r.ot but I have confider.ee in every member of this class that he or she will be equal to every difficulty that may arise and will prove to be men and women of worth to their home and to their cor; try. Permit me now, in conchidin.g, to express the most Iiearty thanks of the class to all who have made this commencement possible. To tl ' ie superir.ter.dent and teachers let me say to you that we realize now as never before the debt of gratitude which we owe jou for 5 mur efforts and untiring patie:;ce durir.g these four years of p.eparation. I’o the Board of Education, we thank you for the splendid facilities we have been privileged to utilize. (i)nce again, in behalf of the Class of 1921, I welcome vou to these our commencement exercises.
