PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS by Dale Sahr Parents, faculty, members of the Board of Education, and friends; On behalf of the class of 1949, of which I have the honor of being the president, It gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a cordial welcome to this occasion, our graduation. I hope this program will express to you our Joy In finishing this chapter In our life and the anticipation of the future. Now we are at the threshold of a new venture. Our days of high school are over and we are looking out upon the horizon of the future. Through that door we shall all pass and go In various directions. Some of us will go Into farming; others Into fields of higher education, preparing for careers of teaching, nursing, and business. Many think we are through with work, but we are Just starting. We hope that these past four years will be of great help to us, and not have been spent In vain. We will strive to do our best for you, our friends, teachers, and parents who have helped us to arrive at this present position. Now we shall be on our own, and will have to prove that what we have been taught will give us the ability to depend on ourselves, and face the Jobs at hand. If we have the urge to succeed, we will succeed. Again, thanks to you, parents and friends, on behalf of this class of 1949 for helping us arrive at this occasion, and being here, and making this, our graduation, a success. PROPHESY by Robert Thorp Last night, being restless and weary with the cares of the day, I longed for'a change of scene and time. So closing my eyes and relaxing, I soon fell to dreaming of what the future would bring. I found myself In the public library of this town, twenty years from now. The library was a magnificent new building and I was wandering through the reference room. As I glanced at the shelves, my eye was attracted by a thin red leather volume. Taking It down, I saw the title was, Who's Who and Why In Reese. Eagerly I turned the pages and read the preface. When I saw how interesting It was, I seated myself and began to read carefully and silently. I found It very interesting so I shall tell you what I read. Bill Bender has founded a surprisingly good business for himself. He has his own large Fix It shop In downtown Chicago.
