 never forget this outstanding motto, In Ood We Trust , and may we go out Into the world and build our future upon It. In closing, I would like to express, on behalf of the graduating class of 1949, sincere appreciation to all those who made It possible for us to reach this point In our education. Especially to our teachers do we give sincere thanks for their hearty and continued Interest In our welfare. It Is the hope of our class that prosperity and happiness attend them In the future. SALUTATORY by Ellen Krleger Parents, teachers, classmates, ladles, and gentlemen: with much pleasure that I welcome you this evening. It Is Parents, I want to welcome you......you who have stood the trying test of our troublesomeness during our childhood and teen-age years; you who have given us many privileges I am sure you never were given. Teachers, we shall always remember how you have endeavored to mold our thoughts and guide our feet ever upward, even though at some times we couldn't see your point of view. There Is an old saying that I would like to quote: There Is everything to be gained by good company. This we know is true; because If we didn't have you (parents, teachers, and fellow classmates, who are good company), we possibly wouldn't be here tonight graduating from high school. We feel there Is no one who will deny that our Judgment is Infallible when we say your company Is good. From all this good company there Is everything to be gained. We can not help but appear to better advantage, to be Inspired to do our very best, to look back In after years to this night with remembering happiness. Tonight, especially, you are good company. Expectant you look, ready to be pleased with the least we can do, eager to exclaim over It and make much of us. Assuredly we are gainers by your presence. We do not need to tell you you are welcome, (good company Is welcome everywhere and always); but I do want to assure you on behalf of the class of 1949, that It makes us very happy to see all of you here. •aMviwtSt,- »'jytr-v tw
