p The SASYAJWQN .1 193+ Capitalists are giving the laborer better wages, and the consumer is getting fairer prices. These changes are coming about because people are beginning to see that others have to be depended upon and have to be considered. Tllrougliout our school days we have taken liberally of the services which have been offered us by our parents and teach- ers. Nothing has been asked in return ex- cept that we make the most oi opportuni- ties which they have given us. Most of us can honestly say that we have tried to do our best in everything we have attempted, that we may in some measure return a portion of that which we have received. We, the Class of 1934, say Farewell with fond memories and tender love for the Alma Mater, whose motto has ever been, I Serve. EVALYN G.

TM - Sff-4lfWQ!V : 1934 SALUTATORY Parents. Teachers, Students and Friends: It is my privilege and honor to welcome you to the commencement exercises of the class of nineteen hundred thirty-tour. In behalf of my classmates I invite you to partake of our joy and exult with us in the triumphant accomplishment of our first basic objective. We have reached the summit of the first hill and we stop to admire the world from our vantage point and to orient ourselves in our new position. From here there are many path- ways into the valley of the world. Some of us are to enter into the valley by routes which, seen from here, appear to be the best to take us into the world. Others will climb another hill in education. hoping to find a route through fields and over shady roads. Others will lead through swamp land and quicksand. But whichever road we take, we cannot tui'1i back to start anew. We must choose our road wisely and well and set out with all possible de- termination and speed. In our days in school we were taught the principles of democratic government and we absorbed the ideals of American liberty. We learned cooperation and team- work through our participation in sports. VVe wei'e acquainted with the problems of our political world and prepared to be in- telligent voters. We are about to cross into a new world, our world, a world that will be what we make it. We must find a place in the in- dustry ofthe world that is now in the throes of an economic chaos. It will be our job to help solve its problems and preserve its democracy. We will leave behind us all but memo- ries of our life spent as students of Natick High. Some of us may not have labored as hard we should have and may feel a little doubtful as to the success of our high school careers, but if one has secured a real, true friend, who can say that his time was wasted? And so once more I ask you to rejoice with us, as, nervously expectant. we wait the tinal step that will make the class of PAGE TVVELVIC nineteen hundred thirty-four alumni of Natick High School. VALEDICTORY And now the time has come when we, as a class, must say goodbye to our loved high school and our many friends. For twelve years we have traveled the same path, but today brings us to our first cross road and we must stop to contemplate as to which way we shall take. Some of us will go on to further our education, and others will find their niche in the business world. Whichever it is, new friends will be found and new opportunities opened to those who aspire to them. Everyone is seeking something. That something is often very elusive and is al- ways just beyond one's reach. To almost everyone that desire is tor success, either for mercenary reasons. or merely personal glory. The idea behind all our studying has been that we should one day achieve something. All about us today we can see examples of successfully spent lives in our great statesmen, our rich philanthropists. our inventors and scientists. They have given us practically everything to make living and working just a little easier, and to give us more time for leisure and recrea- tion. They have torn the mist of super- stition and fear away from the common facts about our life and the universe. Yet, with all their marvelous inventions they have not found a way to prevent war, and stop people's hatred of each other. We are still suffering from the effects of the last war. The economic situation of the civilized world is deplorable. Why? Main- ly because people who have done things have done them for fame or to obtain money enough to get for themselves every manner of luxury. And luxury makes for selfish, discontented people. The situation is slowly improving and order is slowly evolving from chaos. We have become so used to a jumbled state of affairs that now that this so-called de- pression is being dissipated, we must once more adjust ourselves to prosperity.
