Friends and ClassmaTes. Once again The Time has come when an- oTher group of sTu'denTs is passing over The Threshold oT formal educaTion To make Their ways in The world. . To us, iT is an epoch oT greaT imporTance. We look back wiTh regreT and ahead wiTh anTicipaTion and eagerness: loul' we know +ha+ whaTever The 'FuTure holds Tor us..These lasT Tour years will help us overcome The hardships and reach our goals. We are noT leaving high school wiTh The ThoughT ThaT we have devel- oped our inTelligence as much as we inliend To. We inTend To make selT-improvemenT a daily habiT ThroughouT our lives. These pasT Tour years are only a Tirm ToundaTion Tor The inTelligenT ciTizens we hope To become. We are The luckiesT youTh in all The world. Nowhere else in The world do young people Valedictory have The beneTiTs oT The American Dream. We have all had an equal opporTuniTy in edu- caTion: and since we are all on The same basis as Tar as educaTion goes, we all have The same opporTuniTies in The world aT large. IT is a privilege To Take advanTage of iT, because we may rise -To our highesT abiliTy: and iT is a duTy To Take advanTage of because we musT make ourselves the evidence ThaT iT is a worThy ideal. ATTer Today, high school will be one long, pleasanT memory of This building, our Triends, and our Teachers. The uripleasam' memories 'will be TorgoTTen, and high school will be a brighT, happy picTure hung in memory's gal- lery. To The Owosso l-ligh School, school- maTes, and Teachers we say good-loye, louT we shall never TorgeT you. BeThel l-lendrick D

Salutatory Friends and Classmales, I+ is a real pleasure To welcome you lo Jrhis, our Class Day program. ll is wi+h a 'feeling 'of eagerness, and yei wilh a bir of regrer, Jrhai we have loolced forward To lhis day. Eagerness, because afler four years of slrudy and preparafion, we are finally ready io go our in+o lhe world wilh a feeling of confidence and a grim deierminarion lo malce Jrhe besr possible use o'F our educarion as we slruggle on our way. The only bi'r of regref rhar enfers our minds is The realizaiion Thar This is probably lhe lasi 'rime ihe members of lhis class will be meer- ing +oge+her. As we begin +0 rnalce our way in Jrhe world, we will begin fo realize more fully, perhaps. +han we do now, whar a grea'r benelir our educalion has been +0 us. Educalion Jroday is no? a luxury or a privilege besfowed upon only a few people. H is, rarher, a necessiry lo modern living which is available +o all. We as Americans should realize whal won- derful opporlrunilies ihere are available To us if we only keep our eyes open for lhem. We should also appreciare more sincerely Jrhe many privileges and righfs of freedom which are a parr of our grea'r Democraiic sysrem. We should feel proud To be a par? of lhis republic which is so courageously slruggling +o hold iasl +o all rhe ideals of ils herirage. The fufiire is facing us: school now lies behind: bul' lhe ideas and +he spiril Jfhar have become a par+ of us and have been shaping our lives will furnish 'rhe foundalion necessary To susfain us in +he course of fulure evenls. Again I welcome you +o lhis Class Day program, and we, Jrhe Seniors of l94l, hope you will enjoy These acliviries as much as we have enioyed preparing lhem. X Maxine Graham
