Fellow Students and Friends: It has been given to the Valedictorian to deliver the farewell of the Class, but the President also has the privilege of saying a few parting words. The thought of graduation has always caused a feeling of pride and personal satisfaction. It has been the spur to guide us onward and now we can say that we have done our best. We have done our best. We have proved that we are not quitters. The thought of graduation also carries with it a feeling of regret. We have met here as a class for the last time. In our High School career we have formed friendships with each other which have been encouraged by the close relations of our High School life; but in every life there are pauses and interruptions, points where one kind of action ceases and another begins and so it is with us. Today we stand upon the threshhold of the future. Some will continue in their scholastic training but for many this completes the training for life’s battles. The past has been a series of preparations and experiences, each determined by the preparation which had been given toward it. Our High School course has been a means of preparation to enable us to meet the problems of the future. Commencement is a step in advance in the progress of our lives. In this period of unrest let us be good citiezns. Let us stand for everything that is honorable and .just. Let us take an active interest in the affairs of our nation. What have we gained in this four years of our career? Not the accumulation of a large number of facts concerning languages or science, but “Character” formed from the assimila- tion of studies coupled with observation and experience gained through different school activities. In behalf of the Class I wish to thank the Faculty. It is through their willing help and guiding hands that we have been able to complete these four years of our training. Their reward will be the satisfaction of knowing that their teaching has gone to make strong character and loyal, useful citizens. ALBERT MAVIS.
