SArQSM RH To the members of the School Board, to parents, friends, and Schoolmates I wish to express the deep pleasure the graduating class of 1938 feels at your presence here to-night, and as class Salutatorian, I extend you a hearty welcome to our Commencement Exercises It is an old saying Labor Conquers Everything. How true we have found these words to be in acquiring an education They have played an important part in the upbuilding of our character and in our final success! Jfith many trials and tribulations we have clung to this old saying and trusted that we would sometime reach the top. We now feel that we have completed our work, yet we will learn later that our task has just begun. We have just prepare ourselves to meet the trials of life, which is the result of honest effort and hard labor. We feel now that we are standing on top of a high mountain called Success. At first this mountain seemed too steep to even consider climbing; however, with great determination and vim we resolved to climb it. The rememberance that we were but a few of many who had climbed this mountain and reached the top kept us going. There were times, it is true, when everything ran smoothly and everyone worked along happily and cheerfully. Our teachers were at our side and urged us on with their kind words and unselfish help. We were warned of the great tasks ahead of us and we prepared ourselves for the heavier duties, when no one was near to urge us on and help carry our load. Little by little we advanced; the work seemed to become more difficult each year but we were prepared by experience and determination. We labored on and won our goal. So that is the reason that we are appearing here as the graduating class of 1938. I will now give the other members of the class a chance to entertain you, and I hope that you will enjoy the program which they have prepared. So with a final word, I bid you welcome in the name of our Teachers, Classmates, and School.
