THE X1X0X1A VALEDICTORY To the friends gathered here, to the faculty and to our fellow students, it is my privilege to speak the last words of the Class of 1919 as it goes forth from dear old X. T. H. S. This is the last time we can meet together as high school students. A swelling of pride and a sinking of heart tells us so. But the memories of our high school days and the many opportunities we have been given during these four years shall never be forgotten. As we i o forth on life’s journey alone these friendships formed in our school days and privileges given to us by our parents and teachers shall ever 1m a constant reminder to help us succeed in our life’s work of whatever phase it may be. Especially we wish to thank our parents who have made it possible for us to receive our education. Without the sacrifices of our parents and the training given to us by our teachers our chances for success in life would be poor indeed. We each have different ambitions as we enter into life’s school. Yet, nevertheless, our high aims and ambitions have been formed by the education we have received. During this short period we have enjoyed many advantages in our scholastic career as high school students. Among these privileges, we have had the advantage of receiving our instruction from a faculty which has ever been willing to help us make our high school life a success. So in behalf of the Class of 1919, I now take the pleasure to express our sincere appreciation for their untiring efforts for all they have done for us. Especially do we wish 1« thank Mr. Johnson who has been with us throughout our entire high school career. As we go to take our small place in the world, we know that success cannot come to us at a single hound but that we must ever strive to do our best and keep up the standard “Be Square.” It is not for all of us that we should be wealthy or great men and women but at least we can attain our noblest ideals by doing our best. Although tonight we are saddened by the realization that we are leaving dear old X. T. 11. S. forever yet we are proud that we have successfully finished the course which has been offered to us. And now my dear classmates realizing that after we receive our diplomas Friday evening, we shall never again have the opportunity of meeting as the Senior Class of Nixon Township High School. I bid you farewell and in so doing I am assured by the words of Bryant that: “lie who. from zone to zone. Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that we must tread alone, Will lead our steps aright.” Gladys E. Hunt ’19. 23
