PRESIDENTS ADDRESS Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the Class of 1930, I bid you welcome to the Class Day Exercises, a11d I hope that when you have become better acquainted with each of us to-night through personal introduction you will say that we are well entitled to adopt as our motto, lVe lead. Let those who will, follow. ' ' A game of golf that lasts for four years may sound like an extraor- dinary performance, yet it is a matter of fact that the great golf tour- nament which the Ulass of 1930 is about to successfully conclude was started four years ago. No ordinary golf sticks were used such as brassies, mashies, drivers, or mid-irons, but we had equipment in the form of books labeled Algebra, Geometry, Literature, and Science. lVe had no golf professionals in attendance at our tournament, but were helped all along the way by our able teachers, all past masters in the great game of high school golf. At tirst we were all rank amateurs, but guided by our instructors we teed otf to a good start. Every September for four years we came back to try for new skills and new achievements. VVe had not only to play the game under the watchful eyes of our instructors, but we also had to show some initiative, some originality, some original devel- opment. VVe had to improvise ways and means of dealing with new problems a11d new situations. The obstacles and hazards to be met at each section of the green were not to be figured out in advance. They came to us unnounced, and we had to deal with them only on the basis ot' our own inherent skill Plllfl ability. At last most of our obstacles have been met, the fair way, smooth, green, inviting, lies before us, with commencement the happy ending of a four-year tournament of high school golf for the Class of 1930.
