Vaiedictory Friends and Classmates: Today fClass Dayl brings us one step nearer to the time when members of this grad- uating class will face a new life. We look to a period of uncertainty and seemingly discourag- ing conditions, but a period of opportunity for those who seek it. For no more do sane men set out to conquer the World, but to conquer human suffering and strife. What a broad field for opportunity that is! Far be it from us to fail in the mission for which we have been prepared-to make the world a better place for having lived in it. During our time of education at Owosso High School, we have been able to go forward rather independently of those around us. Now, however, we must expect a new situation, for it is only the broad-minded cooperation with our fellow-men that we will be able to attain the higher ideals of life. Our own Thomas Dewey stands as a shining example of fairness, coopera- tion and other essentials of true Americanism. Also, our young people's recreation centers are in this scope. The reward received by those who control the centers is not riches-but the satisfaction of knowing that in helping the unfortunate, one helps humanity. May our ambition be turned to practice, and our hopes to realized goals. The future is far away-the past is gone-thus, it remains for us in the present to shape our destinies. As we go onward and upward, then, I hope this little thought will some- how serve to guide us: I expect to pass thru this life but once. If, therefore, there is any kindness I can show or good I can do for any fellow being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again. -Lloyd Wing ..24...

Salutatory Classmates and Friends: To all of you who are sharing with us one of the most important of our graduating events, we of the Senior class of 1938 bid a sincere and hearty welcome. We have assembled here to- day for a purpose which is time honored. Year after year the Seniors meet to voice their beliefs and convictions concerning the game of life which they are earnestly starting to play. It is with varied feelings that we come here s so today. We feel a pang of regret and sorrow when we think of the good- times and joys which we will have to forfeit. But stronger than this is a feeling of elation for Work successfully completed, friendships Won, and unforgettable memories gathered in our short four years of high school. We Seniors here today have our individual hopes and goals. Some may be privileged to enter higher institutions of learning, while others will step at once into the busy world learning from actual experience. Though many of our hopes may not be fulfilled, and though we may not win our goals, we most certainly have had wonderful cooperation and conscientious endeavor on the part of our parents, teachers, and friends in teaching us the rules which we must follow in the game of life. We have been taught the rules by which our goals are to be won or lost. If we do win, it must be fairly and according to these rules. They are the foundation of our character and will give us the strength to play the game through to its finish. It has taken us several years to prepare and fit ourselves for the part we have chosen to play. Now we are on our own , and success depends upon our ability to add to the knowledge which we have gained here, so that we will be able to contribute something worthwhile to the social, moral, and economic conditions of the world. If we always give our best, we are winners in spite of all odds. In closing, I wish to welcome you again and thank you for helping us make this a successful Class Day. --Marcia Guilford -25...
