VALEDICTORY ADDRESS As we, the graduating class of 1950. leave the halls of Morris Central, we have a deep feeling of reluctance, not only because of the fond memories we have of our days here, but also because of the many opportunities bestowed upon us. During this past year we have often wondered what the future holdr in store for us. Are we going to live in a peaceful world with an abundance of security and hopes for the future, or are we, too, going to be confronted with constant bickering among the leading nations? At present every Dossible means of ending the cold war with Russia is being employed, but as yet the efforts Have been in vain. If by chance this cold war should turn into a hot war , we should undoubtedly be called upon to go forth and serve our country in every way possible. As citizens of this great United States, we should be willing and ready to do so at any time in order to preserve the democratic government given to us by out forefathers, and to stop the spread of Communism. Yes, it is with much regret that we leave Morris Central. Our days here- cherished, unforgettable days - have been made most enjoyable by all those con- cerned. With heart-felt appreciation we depart, intending to be true, respect- able citizens, imbued with the hope of helping to make our country aneven great- er nation in which to live. SALUTATORY ADDRESS On behalf of the graduating class, it is my privilege to welcome you to- night to these graduation exercises. The fast approaching graduation has brought to our mihds some of the un- certainty df the world which we are about to enter. The transition from the sheltered care, encouragement, and incentive given us by our family and teach- ers to the insecurity and discouragement which often accompanies success in t±® business world will necessitate a great deal of adjustment. We'll do our best to become conscientous citizens. Those of us who intend to go further in the field of education will un- doubltedly leave this locality for a time, but it will always be a thrill to return to the community which has shown so much Interest And confcera in our class and our school. Because we realize the interest and assistance given us by the community, it is with real sincerity that we, the class of 1950, say, Welcome .
