LECENDE Sa . ADDRESS OF WELCOME Parents, Teachers, Friends and Fellow Sfzcclcfnts- It is with great pleasure and appreciation that we welcome you here this after- noon to the Class Day exercises of the Class of '27. In the past we have recognized this day as one marking the first milestone on our journey of education. But now we realize that tonight is not the finish but the real beginning. We must press onward toward greater achievements. By your assistance we have our first achievements in the mysteries of educa- tion. We realize that we will soon leave our School Home to take up new and varied phases of life. In many cases, we realize, our education is the only capital we have with which to begin life, and for this we are chiefly indebted to our school. Some of us will continue our education by going to college. While perhaps others will take up some vocation which will be their life work. Parents, we feel on this day more than at any other time our debt of gratitude to you. We feel that we would never have been able to receive this education had it not been for your influence and sometimes your sacrifices. Friends, Teachers, we extend our most sincere thanks for your untiring efforts and the encouragement you have given us. There have been many times when we were undeserving of this interest and sympathy, never-the-less, you remained interested. Our hope is that we have not fallen short of your expectations. Your presence here this afternoon exemplifies your interest in the Class and in the promotion of educational ideals. In the name of the Class of '27 I bid you WELCOME. -THELMA PETREY.
