VA££DI«£©RH Parents, Friends, and Schoolmates The time for our high school days to end is drawing near In a short time we shall be full-fledged graduates and citizens of this great working world I do not suppose that we shall look any differently after we receive our diplomas, but we certainly shall be inspired Although we have been looking forward with happiness to graduation, there remains in our hearts many memories that we wish we could endure again As classmates, we have had good times together We have grown to feel near to our sympathetic teachers, because of their interest in us and their cooperation with us. As long as we live, we shall always remember the long hours we have spent together—-even the trying hours in which we fought battles with mental giants We have made the most of our school career All of our school days have not been filled with pleasure—-we have worked, studied, and have tried to gain honor in the field of education. But yet, I am sure that there is not one of us who does not think that this four years 1 time has been worth while. We realize that graduation means advancement, but it also means that our high school days have ended, so we must turn to the future With the passing of the months, we have been conscious of graduation being near to us. We have decisions—important decisions to make. They will influence all the rest of our life Some of us will continue in college the education which we have begun here; others will begin their life work with knowledge based on this education. Each one wants what is best for him, and the course that will bring him happiness and success And now, as the Valedictorian of the Senior Class of 1938, it is my task to close the chapter of our high school dayB. Since we are to advance to new ways, we must part from the old. We must say farewell to the school we have known and loved so long, and good-bye to teachers and schoolmates left behind. Our feelings are too deep—we cannot express them. But now the world needs us and we must be on our way. FarewellI

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.

€£ASS VI11 We, the Seniors of Roseville High School, realizing that our high school existence is about over and. that we are soon to pass through the portals into the land of tomorrow do make hereby this our last will and testament, believing it to be the best Will and Testament ever yet devised by any senior class. 1. We leave and bequeath unto the faculty our great intelligence. From experience we know that they will need it, for it is a difficult task to instruct the student body of Roseville High School. 2. Believing that we are undoubtedly the smartest and the best looking seniors ever to inhabit the high school, we leave our pictures to remind other classes who come after us of their illustrious forbears. 3. Knowing that we go into a world v;here we can no longer take time to use our textbooks, but must rely upon the knowledge we carry with us, we leave the textbooks for students who follow after us. 4. The seats we have occupied in the classroom we leave to the members of the Freshman Glass. Believing that the Freshmen are not competent yet to use and occupy these seats we create a trust, hereby appointing the Sophomores and Juniors as trustees - to guide the use of these chairs or seats, each class exercising actively the trust for a period of one year. 5. We believe that the weak and struggling Sophomores are in need of our grades so we leave our grades to them. 6 . To the Juniors we leave our cax-)s and gowns in order that they may be properly robed at their Commencement. We leave these robes believing that the Juniors will be well enough versed in correct social usage to know how to wear them at their Commencement. 7. To the worthy superintendent of schools we leave all the good thoughts that assembly speakers have attempted to pass on to us. We, full of great ambitions, have no room in our already too full heads for these thoughts. This request is made to the superintendent of schools with the kindest of consideration and after much deliberation. He can use them for talks in faculty meetings. 8 . That others may benefit from some of our individual greatness we bequeaths Bob Bargar ' s ability to talk to Ralph Morrison he may use it to help keep the students well informed. that
