VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Parents, Faculty, Classmates and Friends: For many years we have looked foreward to this day, the wonderful day when we would be through with school. There would be no more dull studies, no more homework, we would enter a brave new world of freedom and opportunity. That brave new world lies just beyond the door of this room. We do not fear to enter, but strangely enough we are not experiencing that happiness about which we had dreamed. Our thoughts, as we sit here do not bound foreward in anticipation of adventures which lie ahead, but rather, return along the path upon which we have journied these many years. This is a High School Com- mencement but for all of us it is more than that, some of us began our school life together in this very building, others joined our ranks in the seventh grade, we have been friends a long time. During these years of childhood and early youth we have learned more than the studies offered in the curriculum. We have learned that there are times when we must turn to teachers as friends for help and guidance. We have learned co-operation, and also initiative in leader- ship. If we carry this knowledge with us into the world which lies ahead, the road will be made more easy and we will be better able to appreciate the pleasures which we may encounter. It is difficult to say what may befall us. This atomic age in which we live has many diverse elements, we may be on the threshold of a bril- liant new age or on the edge of disaster. What ever lies ahead, we must face it with courage. We can feel that the training we received at Sheffield High School will better en- able us to adjust ourselves honorably. This time of parting contains an element of sadness; it is hard to break old ties but we cannot dwell forever in the past. We must go on to bigger and better things. We are fortunate that we have had our years at Sheffield and in saying farewell my classmates join me in expressing our gratitude to our parents, teachers, the school committee and the townspeople for making our years at school so happy and of such value to us. Tonight as we leave the doors of Sheffield High School we have taken the first step toward the goal which is expressed in our class motto, To the Stars Through Difficulties. 11 17
