SALUTATORIAN ADDRESS Friends, faculty, and parents, in behalf of the Class of 1918, I welcome you to our class night exercises. During our High School career we have endeavored to take advantage of the opportunities offered us and have endeavored to be a credit to the High School which the people of the community have seen fit to offer us. We are grateful to those people who have given us these opportunities. At this time we have a great deal to be thankful for, yet sad thoughts also come with this meeting. Only once more will we be permitted to come before the public as a class and as members of the Nixon Township High School. With tomorrow even-mg our high school career will end and we will then be the alumni of the Nixon Township High school. Our class has taken part in all the activities Of the High School and has tried to do its best and bear its share of the responsibilities. We may or may not have suc- ceeded in this, but we have endeavored to set an example before the other classes that will be proner for them to follow and will be a credit to us in after years. We are grateful to the faculty who have done so much for us during our sojourn in the High School. They have helped us over many obstacles and have aided us as best they could. Especially are we grateful to Mr. Johnson, who has been with us during the greater part of our High School career and has helped to make our High School what it now’ is. We wish to thank our parents who have made it possible for us to attend the school. In some cases it has been a sacrifice, yet it is best for us that we have the education. By having the education we are better fitted to fill our place in life. We also wish to thank our classmates who have aided us in all our undertakings and have supported the High School as well as the Senior class. We have finished our High School career, but we are not really educated so that we may properly fill our place in the throng. ()ur High School has given us proper training but this training is not sufficient. Wemust seek further training elsewhere. When we think of seeking training elsewhere it brings sad thoughts to our minds. We know that we must leave those people with whom we have so long been assoc:a ed and must seek new friends. We shall not forget that those people have done so much for us and in after years will hope to still see a Nixon Township High School greater and better thaji the one w-e are now’ leaving. Our ourposc this evening in giving this entertainment is to come before the community once more as a class. We hope to give a fitting farewell to our classmates -ml friends, a farewell that will long be remembered in our community and by our School. I'o such an entertainment I now bid you a hcartv and sincere welcome. M. MILDRF.D SAYLOR, ’18. FAMOUS STALLS I didn’t get that far. 1 guess I studied the wrong lesson. I didn’t understand that part of the lesson. ! brought the wrong paper to class. I didn’t understand the assignment. I didn’t have time to get over quite all of the lesson. I’ve lost my paper. I don’t recall. 1 don’t know. I tranlatcd all but that. Was that our lesson for today. Juniors are inclined to write “Young Books” on exams.
