THE LAUREL Hlass Address VVinona McCarthy 144 It is indeed a pleasure for me, as President of the Class of 1944, to welcome you, our parents, teachers, and friends, to these our Class Day exercises. This is ajoyous occasion for the members of our class, a day which foreshadows the close of four most interesting years of scholastic endeavor. M It would be strange if we were unmindful on this occasion of those who have made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunities which our public schools offer to children in a democracy. Most ofall we are indebted to our parents, who have guided and directed our efforts toward worthwhile objectives. In many cases they have made great sacrifices in order that we might enjoy the advantages of a high school education. VVe appreciate the splendid efforts of our teachers, who have been most kind and helpful. They have given generously of their time and sympathy to guide and direct us toward achievement. The ideas, ideals, and attitudes, which have been formed through our training, both at home and at school, will, I am sure, prove most valuable to us all in the future. VVe, the members of the present graduating class, unlike those who have been graduated before us, are confronted with the task of making our way in a war torn world. Not only are we faced with the problem of assisting in the all out war eH'ort on the home front, but we are, moreover, challenged by the need for effective action in rehabilitating those who are daily returning from our armed forces. We feel that the lessons we have learned here at Memorial have adequately prepared us to accomplish this great task. Finally, it is our hope that we may show our appreciation to our parents and teachers by proving worthy of the faith and trust which they have placed in us. O ol lo O
