President's Address LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It is a great honor to welcome you on behalf of the Class of 1938. Tonight our class will go over the happy memories of school days for the last time as a group. After graduation the Class of 1938 will be but another list of names in the annals of Rensselaer High School. Our Class Day exercises will reflect only the lighter side of our high school careers. The endur- ing constructive gifts of our school are treasured in our hearts and minds. We have not forgotten, nor shall we forget, the debt of gratitude we owe our parents and teachers for their wise and kindly guid- ance. We hope to justify it in the years to come. We thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your attendance. We hope you will enjoy these exercises. I also thank my classmates for the honor of welcom- ing you on this great occasion. 0 PAUL VADNAIS.

CLASS POEM We've struggled long and struggled hard Through tasks of each school yearg And now we find the long, long trail Of success is bright and clear. Often the way was rough and dark Along the road we came, But by our struggles we've prepared For glories, riches, fame. We are determined, each of us, To carry on the light, For the road to opportunity Is wide and clear and bright. The world now lies before us With endless trails of surcess Offering wealth and happiness That we may all possess. And when our life is ending And drawing to a close, May we look back upon these years And see how well we rose. May we always keep the memories Of the school days we have spent, Days of onward striving With blessings Heaven sent. . . . DONALD LEONARD
