SMITH ACADEMY 23 Address to Undergraduates It is a great privilege and honor to ad- dress you, undergraduates, in behalf of the class of ' 47. When Smith Academy welcomed us, back in 1943, as freshmen, the world was engaged in a bitter struggle that pitted all free men against the cruel forces of fascism. As we progressed in years, the world shook off the clutches of fascism to restore peace. Now, it is up to us, as Amer- icans, to keep the peace of the future. Smith Academy has helped prepare us for this future. The teachers have helped us lay the foundation of our lives, which must be planned as the erection of a great build- ing is planned. They have shown us that our foundation must rest upon eight pillars, important in attaining success whether in the problem of making a living, or serving the community, or keeping world peace. These pillars are energy, economy, inte- grity, sympathy, impartiality, system, sin- cerity, and self-reliance. Now that these are cemented together, we have a solid foundation for the life we shall continue to build as we go forth into the future. Tomorrow, we shall be on our own. No more shall we be able to rely on our teach- ers to help us in our problems. Since Smith Academy has given us our foundation, it is up to every individual who is graduating today and to every one of you who will graduate in the near future to make what he wishes of himself. We all probably shall scatter to the four corners of the earth and may not see each other for a long time, or even forever. As the future citizens of this great democracy, it is up to us and to you, undergraduates, to take a hand in helping preserve peace for our country and for the world. Why, even now, we are trou- bled within our borders by a new threat, Communism. Smith Academy will help pre- pare you, as it has prepared us, to battle this threat and any other threat which tries to upset our freedom, whether it is from an external or from an internal source. So, undergraduates, don ' t waste your time in school; and make the most of your oppor- tunities. Juniors — You have but one more year to complete your high school education. Make the most of that year. Get a good founda- tion for your future years. Develop your capacities to their fullest extent. Set your goal and drive with all your might for it. Lay well the foundations. Sophomores — Half of your high school life is completed. Now is the time to decide what course you wish to take and stick to it. Do not waste a single moment, for you will find later that you will be sorry. Freshmen — You have the longest road to travel. Since peace is here again, you can lead a normal life. But life will be difficult, as you will discover. Take courses to suit your needs and then bear down and follow them through. Always remember that suc- cess is not achieved easily, but with much labor. To all of you, the class of ' 47 extends loads of luck and best wishes. We hope that you will enjoy school life as much as we have. We hope that the future will hold in store many good things for you. STANLEY F. KIREJCZYK, Third Honor Student. Presentation of Gift to School With the passing of tomorrow, the mem- bers of the class of 1947 will join the ranks of alumni. We are leaving Smith Academy at a time when education is of great importance. The education that we have received here will help us greatly in the years to come. In grateful appreciation, we leave this gift, a sum of money, to be used for the school library. We hope this gift will not only serve to keep alive our memory, but will also serve as a token of our appreciation of the vital education that Smith Academy has given us. ALEX WIDELO
