Valed ictory Dorothy Ann I aynk A, iht class of 1948, have now arrived at the moment of graduation. As we look over our four years at Lee High, we begin to realize the value of the splendid training and guidance that has been our privilege to receive. In this training we ' ve received certain assets or tools that will aid us in our future lives. In our associations with fellow students and teachers we’ve seen the value of courtesy, friendliness and charity. WA’ve learned how to get along with jieople. Also our school, through its various activities giving to each responsi¬ bilities, has aided in building our characters into strong and good ones. Through our students we’ve gained a certain amount of information about various subjects, which will serve us in the future. However, the greatest contribution of our school has been to teach us that knowledge of itself is not enough. When we leave high school we certainly don’t know all answers to life’s pn.»blems, but we’ve been trained to apply our know¬ ledge to problems of life and have thereby gained in wisdom. W ' e have been taught to think out the answers. This training has been provided for us at Lee High, now we must see that it is employed for the betterment of mankind. Just because our training in high school is over, we must not become indifferent or careless. Commencement is the real beginning, not the end ofgrowth. Life itself is a series of lessons, some easy, others hard as granite, which all must learn. We must always strive earnest¬ ly and diligently, and exert our full strength if we are to get the most out of life. We are going forth into a new age. We believe that life is good, it is pur¬ poseful. We also believe that the privilege of living is a gift of God and we should show our thanks by upright and fruitful living. Now, as we leave our school, we wish to thank all who are responsible for (jur training here. We thank the taxpayers who have provided the money, the schoolboard and superintendent, the principal and teachers who have so patiently worked with us through our school years. We, the class of ’48 who are indeed grateful for the kindness and benefits that we have received, say farewell.
