4 - R.H.S. Searchlight .nm no re.s'z'defzf'.v ddress Parents, members of the school board, Super- intendent Haggerty, teachers, underclassmen, and friends, good evening. On behalf of the Sen- ior Class of 1951, I would like to take this op- portunity to welcome you to these Commence- ment exercises which mark the end of a path of a twelve year aspiration toward a definite goal, the receipt of our diplomas this evening. It is ce1'tainly a good feeling to have the sup- port of a fine town like liichford and to know that behind every brick and stone in this build- ing there stands an interested and alert citizen who will put his every resource to the wheel in an effort to ease the task of learning and make run more smoothly the machine of education. Errors, we have made many. Honors and at- tainments, perhaps few, perhaps many. joys, sorrows, victories, defeats,-there have been too many to count. Now as we stand on the thresh- old of a new world of learning, we look back with mixed feelings of sorrow, and happiness. 'I his evening marks the attainment of a landmark in our lives but it also marks the close of the hap- piest days of our lives. I would like to speak to the underclassmen for a moment. All others need not listen. Scores of older people have told you to enjoy your high school days to the utmost for they were the happiest of your entire life, past cunmnuanmmunuuuuunuu muuumun jj , . si 2 5 5 2 3 5 mum-is 5 mu-mana and future. If you are anything like I was, you dismissed the advice with little thought. Perhaps tonight, at graduation, if you heard the same words echoed by one whom you all know and have been in close relation with the past few years, it would make an impression. If by so doing, one, just one, student can realize this ex- perience, it certainly is worth while, take my word for it. That is why I am going to say this now. Live the rest of your high school days in such a manner that you will derive the most pos- sible from them. Graduation may seem a long way off -to the unclerclassman, but it is upon you before you realize it. Cone from you are your happy school days-never to be recaptured. I can feel it now even as I stand here in clear view of all of you. I can feel the reluctance of the whole thing. To the other listeners, we would like you to know how gratifying it is and how much we ap- preciate all that has been done for us during our sojourn through Iiichford High School. I am certain that I speak for all when I say that we are better qualified to either extend our educa- tion or cope with the problems of a troubled world. Thank you.
