HIGH SCHOOL I VALEDICTORY The time has come to say farewell. When we leave this school, we shall soon be forgotten as a class, but somewhere in the world, 183 people will find their individual places in life. Most of us will never be heard of again, but others will push and squirm forward until they have the eyes of the world upon them. Fame and fortune are their goal, but often they are not happier than their less renowned classmates. “To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.” A goal to work for is always the motive for living and learning, and when all aspirations are attained easily, life becomes a dull, drab boredom. The outcome, then, is not so important as the manner of getting there. If we knew how our lives would end, our days and nights would be too full of exultation or despair to afford us one moment of serenity. The future is a vague shadow but hope is like a strong friendly beacon to light up the course we must follow. As Stevenson says, “To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arri ve.” Phyllis Hoffmeyer. v SALUTATORY As salutatorian, it is my first duty to greet my friends and schoolmates. First, I want to welcome the members of my class, that of June ’37. I am proud to be a mem- ber of a group that has succeeded so well in making its High School career really worthwhile. Our purpose during these years in school has been to prepare ourselves for adulthood. For many of us, this preliminary preparation is over. Our graduation and Commencement Exercises are the first important milestones in our true lives. Next, I wish to welcome the administration and the faculty, and to thank them for their interest in our activities and for their patience with us. It is through their teach- ing and guidance that we are fitted for our graduation. Lastly, I want to welcome the underclassmen. Many thanks are due them for their co-operation in our projects. Much of our success in these can be credited to them, for there are few things that a class can accomplish entirely by itself. 1 believe my classmates will agree with me when I say that, for us. High School has been well worth the effort. In spite of being studious young people, we caught the spirit of the thing, and had really good times together. In the tenth grade, having finished the ordeal of acquainting ourselves with the students from the other Junior High Schools, we enjoyed an evening of dancing and fun at a 10B party. Mr. James C. Mills was our class adviser during that term and also during the following term. At the beginning of our Junior year, Mr. Cleminson came to Port Huron to be our principal. The remodeling of the building for the High School Gymnasium was com- pleted about this time. We enjoyed the Assembly programs held there each Thursday. We had fun participating in the preparation of several of these. During the summer of 1936, Mr. Mills left the teaching profession, and we were at a loss for an adviser. However, at the beginning of the semester, we were very for- tunate in having Miss Meehan assigned to be our senior counselor. We know how hard she has worked to accomplish so much for us, and we appreciate it. In general, we have tried to make the most of the opportunities offered us. Although we have had some failures, most of our attempts have resulted in success. Thus far. we have tried not to give up at the first hint of discouragement, but we have kept on. I believe that our successes exemplify the class motto chosen recently: “No man has failed ’til he has ceased to try.” Dorothy Dole. Page Nine
