VALEDICTORY Dear Parents, Friends, Relatives, Board of Education, Teachers, and Fellow Classmates: It is said that every rose has its thorn, every joy has its undercurrent of sorrow, certain it is that the Class of 1957 finds the pleasure of achievement dim ed by the severing of school and class companionships. We, the Class of 1957, come to the end of the road of our school daysgto the end of the road where many new roads are leading forth into the future. Some lead to the right, some to the left but the road which we all are striving for, is the Road to Success. Perhaps at times the road will be narrow and steep but as John Bunyan said, HBetter though difficult, the right way to go Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.U We thus far have had the helping hand of our parents who have guided our steps aright and who have helped to make it possible for us to be graduating here this evening. We wish to show our appreciation to our parents by our accom- plishments in life, by making the most of what we have. 'Tis the coward who stops at misfortuneg 'Tis the knave who changes each day, ' I 'Tis the fool who wins half the battle, Then throws all his chances away. Board of Education: To you we would express our thanks for the privileges for the courtesies management we have Knowledge to which our indebtedness in the future ter world in that we have been Members of the Faculty: In yeu've given us through our school and extended to this school we write an our class.Through your good which has been our Bank of I Owe You.

And lastly I bid you farewell, classmates. Though we shall never meet again as Seniors letfs not break the ties that have bound us together in the years of happiness at Milton High. And as we go forth into this large world upon various roads of life may we never forget our happy times at M. H. S. and those who have helped to make it so. NTO the shortest path and the longest lane there comes an end. Inevitable change brings the sweet, sad word---FAREWELL ---Bernice Edwards H

' ' C Mu.'roN1fxND , SALUTATORY Parents, Members of the Board of Education, Teachers, Relatives, and Friends: We, the Class of Nineteen-hundred, thirty-seven ex- tend to you sincerest greetings and cordially welcome you to this, the closing scene of our career, as high school students. It is indeed, with deep gratitude and apprecia- tion, that we greet you on this evening, realizing that our days at Milton High have been made possible only by your untiring efforts, and sacrifice, For four years, we have pursued our course of study endeavoring to increase our knowledge, with victory as our aim, Tonight we have accomplished our task and have reach- ed our goal. As we go forth from school life, into lifefs school,victory shall continue to imspire us to still great er heights, The years that lie before us present further duties and obligations. Our high school education has formed a firm and solid .foundation of knowledge and character on which we shall be able to build our future activities. It has created a lasting impression in our minds, which shall be instrumental in shaping our destinies and determining our future success. It is our most earnest desire to take advantage of every opportunity afforded us that might make us more ef- ficient and capable of facing the problems of the world. Hopportunity when lost is never regainedn so we shall ac- cept its challenge willingly, and without hesitation. It is success, lifels greatest diploma, that we wish to attain and shall strive to win. UA voice comes down the blue, From every kindling peak, That calls us nobler work to do, And nobler goals to seek, To climb to loftier zonesg Where kings of earnest thought Reign, and still wrestle for new thrones, With purer gold inwrought. Forsaking, everywhere, The prizes cheaplier won, The eternal morn of true and pure Shall light us on and on, Till, over summits dim, In purple glooms afar, We see, through deepening glory, swim Our'victory?s morning star. 4 -4-Agnes Drummer C'19:5!,D -----
