8 THE LAST FLARE Editorial As this school year closes, some fifty young men and women of the Class of ’32 set out into the world. A few will go on to halls of higher learn- ing, but a great many, unable to do this, find themselves about to face the serious problem of earning a living. We are unfortunate in the conditions with which we must cope, but we are thankful for the adequate training we have received for this purpose. Perhaps to you we have seemed to take life too easy, to spend our time foolishly and to miss the point and meaning in our school life. Really, however, year by year, we have gradually absorbed some of that seriousness and meaning, and as the four years drew to a close, wo have wished that we might relive some of those preceding years and do a little hotter by our- selves and our teachers. And now, as we sing our swan song, we wish to hand down a little ser- ious advice—not because we feel that we have always done the right thing but because we know wo’ve made mistakes and want you to avoid them and have your class get a little more fun and a little more benefit out of your education—stick out your four years in High School and do each day’s work well. Make a habit of success in High School that will stay with you in life. ELLEN VAN BRUNT.

THE LAST FLARE 9 Salutatory Members of the Board of Education, Faculty, Parents and Friends: Four years ago we entered High School. We little realized how quickly and happily the time would pass. Now, we have reached our goal and can look back. We see that without you we should never have been able to come so far. You have helped us in our work and in all our undertakings. You provided us with everything necessary for our success. You made our Washington trip possible. Therefore, we, the Class of '32, bid you a sincere welcome. MARGARET HUBBARD. Valedictory During our four years in the. Southampton High School, we have often looked forward to these graduation exercises. The long awaited event has come, but it does not bring all the joy we had expected. We regret having to leave this school which holds such happy memories for us all. Tonight we bring our school days to a close, and we find ourselves facing the future. It is as though a door had suddenly opened, and as we stand on the threshold, we see the bright future stretching out before us. We feel that through the instruction received here we are well equipped to cope with the struggles ahead. We give our heartfelt thanks to the Board of Education, Mr. Sabine, the faculty, and our friends who have done so much for us during our school years. ALICE GRAY.
