Friends, Teachers and Classmates: Our High School education can be compared to the bu)]ding of o ship which is r.ow ready to launch from the Fort of Graduation onto oceans of life. The past four year3 spent in the building of this ship have been happy ones, end we have looked forward to our launch- ing as the start of a happy, successful voyage. To you our teachers we want to take this occasion to thank you for your guidance and wise advice- There have been times when it seemed as though v 6 had struck impossible barriers, but you would come to our rescue and our ship would resemble the blue print once more. You have given us the materials with which to work, and have taught us to assemble these materials to make a strong, substantial ship that would stand the angry waters and storms that we may encounter. As we glid6 into the larger seas of life we shall remember the help and encouragement you have given us. Dear parents and friends we cannot launch this ship without thcnking you for making this voyage possible. Without your love and sacrifice we would never have started biilding four years ago. as we go out into life we shall try to apply all the fine principles of sailing which we have learned, toward helping others who will follow us, thus making your investment in us really worthwhile. Now classmates, my final v.ord is to you.- We have worked hard for four long years, during which time the bonds of friendship have grown, Let us remember as v»e launch that to whatever port we may sail we will be guided by the principles of honor th t have been instilled in us in dear old Polk High School. We know it may be a hard, rough voyage, but with this fine ship nd the good principles of sailing which we have learned we shall all reach the port of our ideals And now os cur ship glides slowly out of port ny wish to ell of you is a sincere goodnight end farewell. --------Arthur Bates
