SALUTATORY Jess P. Miller My friends, the life of a high school student may seem gay and frivolous to you who have so long been away from its trials, but to us it is stark, staring reality. The troubles of youth may seem simple to you beside the more complex ones of later life, but to us who have just this night passed out of the “valley of the shadow” they live in all their terror. For instance, nearly every person who has gone through high school knows what it is to be “financially embarassed”. In fact, 1 contend we have been at times as lacking in funds as it is humanly possible to be. Of course, you say, that’s true, but you can still put the touch on Pop. Ha! It’s been a long time since you tried to “put the touch on Pop”, hasn’t it? Today, it is far easier to work for our money . Another woe in the hard, hard life of a high school student is the way work constantly piles up. Anyone knows the longer you leave work, the easier it becomes. At least, that is the theory upon which all high school students base their work. “Never do today, what you can put ofif until tomorrow”. However, the teachers are constantly trying to disprove this theory as a bad practice by zealous applica¬ tion of homework assignments. Little do the teachers realize if this practice con¬ tinues the result it might have on future classes not so brilliant and understanding as we. There is one more condition that needs reporting, a condition peculiar to our own class. We have approximately two and twenty-seven hundreths girls for every boy. Now at first glance that would seem ideal from a boy’s viewpoint. But everytime we vote on anything in the class, the girls always have their way. What could be more ignominious for a group of self-respecting, red-blooded young men than to be completely dominated by girls? Even if you don’t count the twenty- seven hundreths of a girl, we are still outnumbered two to one. It’s enough to drive a man to communism. ✓ Now, that I have told you a few of the woes confronting us, perhaps I should give my idea on what should be done to alleviate the suffering of future classes. There is but one course, to form a union of Downtrodden High School Students, the D. H. S. S. Union, local number one. On this bitter note, I close. On behalf of the Class of 1949, I extend a most hearty welcome to all of you. Make yourself at home and enjoy the evening. We shall.
