THE NIXONIA 19 2 3 SALUTATORY Friends, Faculty, and Parents, in behalf of the Class of 1923, I bid you welcome to our Class Night program. We realize that this is an important event in our lives, for it marks the end of our High School career and it also marks the beginning of a new life. This is a joyous night to us, since we have completed one of the main steps in life which leads us to success. Still, it brings a sad thought to our minds as we think of parting with classmates, but we realize that we must do this and branch out into the world to do for ourselves if we are to be useful citizens. We owe a large part of our success to the careful and patient instruction of our teachers. Without the Board of Education, who has done so much for us, we could not have been so far advanced. To our parents and all who have contributed to our education, we wish to express our thanks. As we go forth into the future we shall always remember our motto, “Excelsior,” which means to climb higher, and we shall continue to abide by it. I shall now introduce to you the Class of 1923 in our Class Night program and again I bid you welcome to the entertainment of this memorable night. Cleo M. Long. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS To-night is the last opportunity that the Class of ’23 will have of appearing before you. As the president of the ’23 Class, I wish to say that we do not look upon this last opportunity with all pleasure, for there is a great deal of sorrow that creeps into our hearts as we think of our final meeting. As a class, we consider it one of the greatest achievements of our lives to graduate from Nixon Township High School, but we also realize that it is only a small step toward our future success. Speaking in behalf of the Class of ’23, I wish to take this opportunity to extend our most sincere thanks to the faculty of 23 for the inestimable store of knowledge, good advice, and loyal support they have always given us, all of which we appreciate and in our future careers, whatever they may be, we shall always look back upon our faculty of ’20-’21-’22- 23 with esteem. We also wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Board of Education for the interest, enthusiasm, and support that they have given us at all times. Parents, you were the ones who made it possible for us to graduate from Nixon High. You have borne many toils and hardships that we I must finish my journey alone—Beulah Roseman,
