Valedictory Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. — Longfellow. We, as a class, have been endeavoring for the last four years to reach a goal, namely, — graduation. At last, our goal has been reached and we stand on the threshold of the future, surveying the past with mingled hopes and regrets. Mutually we have worked during this period to promote more and greater friendships, enduring associations and lasting memories to be carried into later life. Aiding us in fulfilling these ambitions have been the important attributes of perseverance, courage, and determination which continuously guide us forward. While expounding these characteristics through our own efforts, we have been rewarded with opportunities for greater leadership among our fellow students, more services to our school and innumerable chances to obtain more knowledge. All these relationships have served to enrich our moral, social and intellectual life as a whole. While we have directly been enlightening our lives through this period, we have indirectly been striving toward a central purpose — the building of a firm foundation. A foundation, which, we hope, will be capable of withstanding the hardships of life as well as being a basis upon which more pillars of learning may be added. At all times we are reminded to work with utmost capability to better the social and economic conditions of the world so our lives will not be futile efforts but benefits to humanity. This aim has been very proficiently phrased by Longfellow when he said: In the world’s broad field of battle In the bivouac of life. Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Thus far, our accomplishments have been made possible, partially through our own work but to a greater extent through the ardent co-operation of the Faculty and the continued support of our parents to whom we are deeply grateful. To our classmates we also owe a debt of gratitude for their lasting associations. In conclusion it is our heartiest desire that all future efforts will be directed toward the building of stronger characters and richer lives that more nearly approach perfection. DOUGLAS DALY, June. Salutatory As we are about to close a very interesting chapter in our lives and leave behind us a happy past, we linger, before commencing our harder and more exacting life’s journey, to refresh our minds with the benefits that we have derived from our high school life and to thank the faculty who have helped us in fitting ourselves for graduation, the goal for which we have all been striving for four years. “Heaven is not reached by a single bound. But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we climb to its summit round by round.” — Josiah C. Holland. Thus speaks the poet of an earlier day, and well may we ponder the significance of these lines and their relation to success, as we stand upon the threshold of the future with a desire to lead useful, happy, and successful lives for years to come. Let us consider this word “Success.” It does not mean merely doing something marvelous and outstanding. It is the few, indeed, who are men and women of great achievement, and if their lives were to be our standard of success we would become discouraged at the outset. However, it does mean that which we accomplish by paying the price, making the most of every opportunity, and facing the future with hope, courage, and a determination to win. Berton Braley aptly says: “If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt. Nor sickness nor pain Of body or brain. Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you beseige and beset it, ‘You’ll get it’! WILLIAM DUNN, June. Page Nine
