F 4 MORRISONIAN SALUTATORY Parents, Teachers, and Friends: Tonight we 'have reached the first important goal in our lives-one that has been looked forward to with mingled feelings of gladness and regret. We realize that because of your guidance and encouragement during this impor- tant period of development, the achievement of this goal has been made a reality. From the beginning of our school life, we have been guided by you, and we know that we have been taught lessons that can be learned only during such a .period of growth. And because of the unceasing care which you have rendered us, it has been possible for us to develop, both physically and mentally, into eager, young Americans ready to face life fearlessly, in spite of any obstacles besetting our path. And so, with memories of the past, with thanks for your assistance in helping us achieve this goal, and with your words of guidance and encouragement for the future ringing in our ears, we, the CLASS OF 1940, welcome you here tonight at the consummation of our school life. - -Catherine Hicks. 5 SALUTATORY The ropes of the past ring the bells of the future. Since we started school about thirteen years ago, we have looked forward to these days with great anticipation- the end of high school. But we also have a beginning-our part in the future and the world-which will 'begin when the seventy-seventh senior receives his diploma. It is difficult to try to expla.in to you our mixture of feelings-some of us feel a sense of exaltation, some sorrow, some relief, and others feel that a lap in the relay of Life has been passed, and that Life is still ahead of them. There is so much ahead of us-college for some, marriage lperhaps, a career, an influential position in the state or national government, and for others a daily routine of living. We realize that without the early training and guidance and loyal support from you, we never could stand here with our heads held high looking the world in the face. li Life is nuide up of roadsg They start from where you arc: And some are loading near, And some are lcauliug far. The road you 4-lioosc means Jnurli To others and to yon: Tis not so much the road As where 'tis leading to. 1 -Arlene Salisbury
