Valedictorian Teachers, parents, and friends, Tonight, this twenty-second day of May, nineteen hundred and fifty-two, thirty-two more students have reached a goal for which they have long strived. lt is with mixed emotions that we look upon the occasion. It is a happy time because we have reached the goal we have worked toward for twelve long years. Many of us are leaving school, never again to receive any formal education. lt is to be hoped that we shall keep on learning and growing in the life into which we are about to enter. We have all taken courses that will help us in our chosen field, and in dealing with life's problems as they arise. Yet, it is a sad occasion, because we are forever leaving behind us our many friends, fellow students, and teachers, some never to be seen again. But we have one wonderful thing that no one can ever take from us. They can take a book, a picture, or some other object we cherish highly, but they can never take our memories and education. We are entering into a troubled world: one which is caught in a deadly conflict between communism and democracy. We do not know what lies before us but it is a coward who 1 refuses to go forward and meet it, whatever it may be. Some W of us may one day be great and famous and others may be W no more well known than they are right now. But the world l is not made up of all great people. The greatest mass is ' made up of the common man and it is he who chooses the intelligent, well informed man to rule for him. At this time I wish to take the opportunity to thank the Board of Education and our teachers for making this night possible, and for making our school years as pleasant as we could expect them to be. We all hope that your faith in us will be justified in the years to come, and that, perhaps, you will even be proud of us. Now it is my sad duty to bid you good-bye on be half of the graduating class but I prefer not to think of it as a final good-bye, for our memories of shared experience with our classmates will always be among our most prized possessions. And so it is with no regret for the past but with eagerness for the future, I bid you farewell in behalf of this graduating class of nineteen hundred and fifty-two. -by Marie Fox Sa lu tatorian What America Means to Me About midnight of August 26, 1949, I was standing on board the ship, General Hersey. Beside me were standing other people. We were all displaced persons and we were all ready to enter the United States, the promised land at Boston Harbor. As the first lights of the harbor appeared on the horizon, from everybody's lips escaped the same word. What was it? It was America. At that time the word America had a very special meaning for me. lt meant freedom. lt meant democracy. lt meant the same rights and privileges for every human being. ln the United States a person may own as much property as he can afford and it is his property. He has the exclusive right to it. He can speak the language he desires and it is his language and nobody is going to forbid it. A person can voice his own opinion, favorable or not favorable, for an important issue and nobody is going to make him keep quiet. He may pray as he desires and nobody will dare to keep him from doing it the Way he feels he ought to do it. A person can do anything he desires, as long as he does not infringe upon the rights of another person. Therefore, since l have lived under the shadow of com- me munism and really know its ravages, its destructions and its hardships, l can truthfully and sincerely say that l am thankful l now live in America, the land of the Free. -by Oleh Cieply
