1966 VALEDICTORIAN GLENNA BROOKS VALEDICTORIAN’S SPEECH This is such a happy and exciting night. To- night, May 24, 1966, marks not only the ending of one phase of my life, but also the exciting beginning of another. For me, as well as for most of my fellow classmates, this graduation night means the accomplishment of a goal. This goal has been an accumulative process made possible by many people. It has been the result of effective teamwork. The team being comprised of the school, the community, our family and friends. To all of these we give our deepest thanks for making this goal successful--for making ours a winning team. Many times during my grade school and high school years I have made numerous goals for my- self. At times it seemed that some of these would be impossible to achieve. For my own strength and abilities were simply not great enough to meet the challenge. At those times there was discourage- ment and disappointment when I found myself unable to succeed. Then I would think back on my favorite verse of scripture which has taken me through high school and its many problems. It says-- Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4 And do you know what? He did! I found myself able to say over and over again, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 His strength and love have guided me through these years and tonight I find myself on the door- step of the future. Shortly, I will be graduated. I will not graduate myself, but I will be graduated by those who are my superiors. I am not the subject of this action; rather, I am the object. I have not fully earned this, and neither has any senior, for not one of us knows all that we have been taught. It is true that we have only a small part of the total treasury of learning that has been open to us. Thus, I cannot claim the honor of being graduated. I can only humbly receive it with gratitude — gratitude to my teachers, to my school, to my community, and to my God. Here, tonight, are many friends, teachers, and relatives—each one caring about us graduates. But even more important than all of these interested people is the most important person--God. And He really cares. That is why I want to be in Him as I graduate. Why do I want God at my graduation? Because without Him this graduation would not be as meaningful to me. There would be knowledge, yes, but no guiding Light. He has given me a purpose and that is why I want God at my graduation. Somehow, in spite of the inefficiencies of a Senior's vocabulary, I want Him to know I am grateful. My prayer then is this: Make me worthy of that which has been given to me. Make me strong and able to produce that which will be re- quired of me. And if this can be so, that we can in these few days move from the world of the cared for to the world of the responsible, it will be because He was in our graduation. Thank you.
