SALUTATORIAN ADDRESS Friends, Teachers and Parents: Upon this, the completion of our high school course, we realize how impossible it would have been to obtain our diplomas by our efforts alone. Thus, we feed an immense debt of gratitude, first, to our friends and under-classmen for the helping hand, the pleasant smile, and the hearty words of encouragement which they have given us from time to time; second, to the teachers for their untiring efforts to build for us a founda- tion for future success: third, to the community as a whole for any way in which it may have co-operated with us in our efforts: fourth and greatest, to our parents for their immeasurable sacrifices in making our high school training possible. But we realise that we cannot discharge this debt with a mere “thank you. You have helped us “up to the door and over the threshhohl,” but now we must go “into the world.” alone. Undoubtedly you have, in making these sacrifices for us, at the same time builded hopes and expectations for our future. You have looked forward when we were to become useful, self-supporting citizens. In so far as we gratify these hopes and expeeta- tions and make a success of our lives, only can we measure our appreciation for your efforts. Fellow classmen, let us realize this great responsibility and by virtue of our own manhood and womanhood let us attain a position “out in the world” of which our school and community may justly he proud. — L. R. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS This week of graduating exercises marks the end of one of the greatest epochs in our lives. We, the (Mass of ’28, can sincerely say that, now at the close of our high school career, our hearts are saddened with the thought of leaving this cherished institution. These four years in N. T. H. S. halve passed so quickly that it’s hard to realize now that we shall soon he Alumni. During these formative years we have developed not only our intellect hut our charac- ter as well. These two features aire the basic principles of our future life, and we shall he doubly thankful in later years to our Alma Mater for offering us these splendid opportunities. Time alone is able to reveal what the world has in store for us, hut man has always looked into the future with great hopes and high ideals — thus it is with the Class of ’28. Now we deem it a privilege to thank the faculty for their untiring efforts to help — Tuck me to sleep in my old Kentucky home. — Louise Jamison. 10
