1921 THE V .Y O VIA PaRC 15 Salutatory Friends, faculty, and parents: In behalf of the class of 1921. I welcome you to our class night exercises. Tonight I want to thank the people who have made it possible for us to attend the Nixon Township High School. W'c have tried to take advantage of every opportunity which has been offered to its. And now that wy are to he graduated. what does graduation mean? Some people interpret graduation to indicate the end of educational pursuits, hut I want to tell you that we. the class of ’21. interpret it to mean an opportunity of g ing farther in our education. Doing educational work beyond high school brings a sad thought to our minds. It means the parting of classmates who have been loyal to the school ami to each other. It means the parting of friends. Tonight is the last time that we. as the class of ’21. will appear Indore the public representing and upholding the Mandard of the Nixon Township High School. This is our last chance as a class to thank our parents, the faculty, our friends and the Inard of education, for their sacrifices, which made it possible for us to obtain our four years accredited high sch'ol education. Now that we have finished our high school career ami as we enter other activities, some of us may go to College some may take training elsewhere, but where ever this training may be, we will not forget our motto, held by us during our high school career: namely Impossible is un-American. Friends. I now introduce to you the class of 1921 in their class night program. They have won the regard of merit: they have overcome great difficulties. Parents, faculty, and friends. again I bid you welcome to our class night program, and I hope you will regard this evening as well spent, for to us it means much. PAUL PETERSON '21. President's Address Dear Patrons. Friends, and Fellow students: Tonight marks the final appearanc of the class of 1921. As the president of the class I have the arduous duty of making a speech to the class which has worked together these past four years of trials and hard study. When the future classes indulge in reminiscences of us. may they find encouragement in our successes and failures, as we have found inspiration in the achievements of classes which have preceded us. We wish to mention the classes of 'IS. ’19 and '20. They were our ideals. They were strong scholastically and strong in athletic ability and. aliove all. men and women. They were always ready to lend us a helping hand and through theft untiring eff- rts we started on our difficult road to success The senior class alone cannot make the school year; it must have the co-operation of the other classes. I feel that tin-class of '21 has had this co-operation. We appreciate am! thank you. The th tights of the class of '21 will always remain with me. To me it is the best class ever graduated. Especially do I wish to thank you for the confidence you placed in me when you elected me president of the class. I appreciate it. Serving you has been the greatest pleasure of my life. In bidding you farewell and as we go our ways I wish you every success and happiness. K. 11. M. ’21. She's really lieallhy—.111 ha Rainey.
