V!-klLllElDlIl4lUllf4lDlIQNY PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND FRIENDS, To a few 'of us, I am afraid, valedictory is just a long word with a rather vague meaning. It comes from two Latin words, meaning word of farewell. ,But farewells are apt to, be depressing and sad, and we who have the world before us should be looking forward eagerly. We have just finished the first step. It is as though the curtain had just fallen on the first act of a play, with the best part yet to come. This first act has held many good times and dear friendships. Although it has seemed light and frivolous on the surface, there has been a serious vein in it too. We have been developing character and choosing the type of role we wish to play. You, teachers and parents, have helped us to get our bearings and have tried to equip us with the material we will need for a successful second act. We thank you for your patience and helpfulness. The friendships we have made will remain with us until the final curtain and will make our lives richer for the experience. In most cases, we have already laid the setting for a second act, by choosing a life work or deciding to go on to school. But no matter what phase of life we enter into-the same qualities of good sportsmanship, honesty, and dependability will be needed to see us through. . And so the drama of life goes on. We bid farewell to the first act on which the curtain is falling tonight and look forward with happy anticipation to the new and grand experience that lies before us. It is with no little regret that we leave the place where we have spent so many pleasant hours together, and I am sure that we will all try to live in such a way that the school may be proud of the class of '36. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am, the captain of my soul. IRVA JANE SAMPSON.

SAlILllUllU5klIUlDlIQY Dear Parents, Teachers, and Friends: We welcome you here tonight with great pride to share this hour of embarking on our new paths of life. For many years, we, as a class, have been sheltered in this beautiful modern home of education. Our teachers patiently watched a tiny spark of knowledge, in each individf ual, brighten and glow under their careful supervision. No efforts have they spared to kindle this spark into a radiant fire of ambition. To further this ambition we must leave this haven, with cherished memories of joys and friendships, and set out for the goal we wish to attain. The road leading to this goal may be rough and rocky, or it may be smooth and shiny, if our aim is fixed and our grit and determination are strong enough, we will succeed in reaching our goal. Now may we enjoy this evening with you dear friends, to whom we wish to extend a true Welcome, for we owe so very much to you for the encouragement and help you have given us. -RUTH JANE RAHILLY.
