Duet Valedictory SALUTATORY Parents Memlier of the Faculty and friends: In behalf of the graduating class of 1920, I welcome you tonight. You are here to listen to our class night program, the last program given by the present class of Nixon Township High School. Tlion-fore, I wish to assure you that the Class of 20 appreciates your presence here this evening. For,, by your mere attendance you express vour interest and pleasure in our attainment, that of reaching the goal of graduation. While you, our parents and friends, listen to the prophecy ami will of our graduating class, you may prob ably recall the jests, the various good times and harmless jokes of your own school days. So we have invited you here tonight, that you may come again in touch with school life, that you may better understand our aims, our efforts and our achievements. As our president delivers his address you will also realize that our time has not all Ih cii s|K-nt in jests and idle pastime, but that earnest work has brought us to the eve of graduation. Roth in work ami fun, our motto has been. “Hit! don’t fan. Although you may think that we have often missed our mark, believe us when we say that we have “tried.” From our program tonight, you may judge as to how efficiently we have followed that same motto of Hit! don't fan.” And we only trust that you will be generous in your judgment. Now. may I introduce to you the mcinlters of the Class of 20? They have been true classmates in every sense of the word, loyal comrades during the four years of high school. And as a member of this same class, I again welcome you. Florence M. McKown, ’20.
