VALEDICTORY Tonight we reach the end of our high schoo1 life and the uoginning of an unknown future. Thus, in leaving Morris Centra, we have a feeling of sadness which is tempered by our many thoughts of tomorrow. The light of the future is very dim because of world conditions, but we have been given an opportunity to make it brighter. Guided by our teachers we have learned the meaning of cooperation with each other. Such cooperation, carried on in our future activities, should be our part in improving the world1s outlook. Classmates, as wo arc completing this pnase ol our llto we shouli keep in mind the careful and experienced direction of our teachers; the free provisions for schooling given to us by the Board of Education; and the generous support of our parents and townspeople throughout the past years. In closing, on behalf of the class, I would like to thank Mr. Clapp for his patient advice and work with the Senior Class of 1953. .ione Valentine SALUTATORY The Senior Class of 1953 takes great pleasure in welcoming you to this yearfs connencement exercises. We are leaving the shelter of these halls of our Alma Mater to enter a world torn by conflicts. We hope, after twelve years of learning here at Morris, that we may be able to continue learning from the experiences that undoubtedly will come our way. If all the people of our age had been privileged v ith twelve years of education in freedom, wo might be much closer to settling the world’s disputes. Since this is not true, it is up to us, the Seniors, to try to do even more than our share to make this ideal of world harmony come true. Donald Ventre i
