Jr. Benton White Hi Yo! Seniors! Hi Yo! Seniors, or salutations, congratulations and farewell. We salute you on your completion of four years of hard work in high school in preparation for your real life course, upon the threshold of which you now stand. Some of your group will cross that threshold and cast themselves into the great struggle of life and self-sustenance. Others will continue their preparations for later years by attending higher institutions of learning than this from which you now depart. But no matter which path you take, we salute you. for you deserve it. As for congratulations, we give you ours, whole heartedly. as you have really accomplished something of which to be proud. Even though a high school education is not regarded so highly as it once was. still it is in high school that the basis for future life work is usually established. These four years you have just passed through are the most important ones in the development and forming of character and attitude, and. having successfully completed their course, you are to be congratulated. In saying farewell to you. perhaps we should temper our felicitations with a bit of philosophy. Although you have made a good start, still you are a long, long way from maturity, that place where you can rely on your own thoughts and actions. True, vou have laid the foundations of your future life, but it is only a foundation, and the upper stories of the building are yet to be completed. Thus your attitude ought to be one of humble eagerness to build them firm and strong. So hail to your achievements, and farewell to this phase of life; hail to a glorious future and farewell to all doubts and misgivings. Again, ave atque vale”. —Joe Rice. (24)
