TORKLER Page Fifteen 'The Presidentts Address By ERWIN ALTHOFF Members of the faculty and classmates: Every cloud has its silver lining; and this class of June, 1988, has truly chosen the most beautiful, brilliant, and sterling cloud in the sky. The only dark spot on the horizon of the future is the spectre of graduation, which has loomed before us as a dreaded monster ominously endeavoring to sever those pleasant ties with our classmates and teachers, whom we now regard as our dearest friends. In reality, graduation is an escalator carrying us ever closer to the top floor of success in that large building, the world. To those with whom I now must part, I bid farewellewith the hope that someday, somewhere, we all may meet again. Until that time, I shall regard the memories I have of Southwestern as among my most prized possessions. There is no known refrigerant that can cool or quench the zealous efforts with which this class set forth, striving for success and happiness. We shall certainly try our best to make Detroit proud of Southwestern, when we wage our battle against the odds of life to obtain the much coveted crown of success, that we trust awaits those who keep fighting. Officers of the Class Should Auld Acquaintance . . . A HISTORY, by IRENE BELAK and JOHN MERENDA Gazing back over the history of the class, we see that time four years ago, when we, now the sole claimants to the title of Seniors, entered what seemed to us one of the largest buildings in Detroit, Southwestern High School. We were only Freshmen then; and we were scared to death of the faculty until we saw the smiling countenances of. Mr. Murdoch and Miss Spencer. After that we lost our fear and went around, dashing here and there trying to locate our classrooms. It was fun, even though we were doomed for awhile to bear the name Freshies. Then we took one step higher to become Sophomores. Now for the joy of going through the halls and yelling, HHi, FreshieVy to those who seemed so inferior to us. It was in this year that we became more accustomed to the school and t0 the rest of the pupils. Still we took another step when we proudly bore the name Juniors. Now truly grown up, we participated in more of the social events of the school, such as the danzes and the various sport activities. And it was then that the fellows courageously walked through the halls with their girl-friends. Our last step was almost completed when we gained the title of MRS. It was in this year that a whirl of social engagements took place. The boys gallantly provided the money for the material With which the girls made those brilliant blue and gold ttskull caps. To add still more money to our quickly accumulating treasury, KContinued on page 1W Page Sixteen Q5 The Valedictory aka; By RALPH BETKER Parents, teachers, and friends: The day we have eagerly awaited has come; we have reached ahbther milestone along the road of life. As we look backward over the road we have traveled and the obstacles that we have had to overcome, we regret that some have not made the grade. Retracing our steps to the place where we entered high school, we see ourselves begin- ning our laborious ascension of HHigh School Road? That road seems to be covered with an impenetrable fog. As we enter the blinding mist, with our teachers as our guiding light, the fog disappears and the path is illuminated to the likeness of day. The road is rough and discouraging in places; but with the help of our patient teachers and the friends we have acquired along the way, we have reached a level plateau. This represents the position we have obtained in life upon our graduation from high school. At the other end of this plateau the road continues its ascent, but now more steeply. Many who reach this plateau are satisfied with this elevation and never attempt the ascent to the higher levels of education. It is my earnest desire that not one of us will be satisfied with what we now have acquired, but that each will strive upward, so that the accomplish- ments of the Class of June, 1938, will stand out as a ray of light shining upon our deserving teachers of Southwestern High School. They have patiently prepared us for the road of life; we must now take leave of them, contrary to our wishes. Our parents, also, who beyond all doubt sacrihced to supply the means for our education, have our sincere admiration, thanks, and respect. Now, with the desire of advancement uppermost in our minds, let us go forward, for none of us needs remain at a stand-still. Though not all of us will have the opportunity to advance our education in colleges and univer- sities, we all can improve our position in everyday life by learning through experience to Climb, though the rocks be rugged. The Salutatory By IRENE BELAK Friends, classmates, members of the faculty: It is my honor to welcome you on this joyous occasion. With sincere pleasure, I extend my greetings to all gathered here. Today we rejoice, for we have at last reached the goal of graduation, which took us four long years to attain. Those pleasant days spent will always remain Vivid in our memories. Tomorrow we go out in search of another goalesuccess. Many different roads will be taken to achieve this. A number of those present will continue to prepare themselves for the future by attending college and securing additional knowledge that will aid them in achieving success. Still others will immediately start out in quest of work. Some of the roads will be long and tedious, while others may seem less difficult. But we hope to succeed by being true to our class motto,-ttClimb, though the rocks be rugged. More H istory KContinued from page 16 j the class sold those delicious red apples at the football games. These activities prospered, along with the dance that we arranged solely for ourselves. When the girls wore those dazzling red bows with white blouses and the boys donned those bright red ties with white shirts, we gained still further recognition. Finally our destination was reached and we became Seniors. Headed by Mrs. Nettleship, Mr, Harwick, Miss Cornville, and Mr. Becker, we enthusiastically selected class officers, and engaged in social activities to raise money: the Senior Play, and the ever popular Senior mixers. But all this has now come to an end. We have reached our goal, gradua- tion, only to go out into the world to seek still another. We hope to make the world a better place to live in, because we are in it. Our class was fortunate enough to have in it Carl Nagy, star track man, and Ralph Betker, co-captain of the football team, who fought for the Blue and Gold on the field for two years. In quick succession came Eddy Tobicyzk, George Gira, and Art Bator. Bator secured the signal honor of a place on the All-City team in both baseball and football. In basketball activity, came Joe Jekielek and Ed Kotlarczyk. To all of these boys belongs the gratitude of this entire class.

IN THE SPRING OF 1921, the pick and spade were used to break the ground for the Southwestern build- ing. Since then, each graduating class has presented these implements to the 12Bis in a traditional ttcarry on spirit, that characterizes each successive class. As representative number thirty-three, I present the spade to you, knowing that you realize the full signifi- cance of your charge. On this spade sixty-four classes have tied their class ribbonsesmall reminders of their achievement. All have had a part in making Southwestern the school of which we are proud. IT IS AN HONOR to accept this tradition-worn spade in behalf of the 123 class. We will endeavor to uphold the standards that have already been set by you, and by the graduating classes that have gone before you. When it is our turn to pass on this cherished token, we hope that we may pass on not only the spade, but also a gen- uine respect for the principles it represents. The Pick . . . IT IS WITH HONOR and pleasure that I pass on to you this pick, a symbol of our school. It is the same tool with which in 1921 ground was broken for this building. But it is more than a tool, for with it were entrenched the high ideals and standards that I pass on to you, and that we once promised to uphold. This promise is now fulfilled. So, our work done, we bid you farewell and good fortune. aemz WW THIS PICK HAS A LONG record of glory that began with the day when the first piece of sod was turned. It' is my honor and pleasure, on behalf of the 12B class, to receive this gift. We will sincerely endeavor to uphold the ideals for which this pick stands, to preserve'it, and to pass it on to our worthy successors. Thank you. eWW Mme Tributes By DONALD DONATI To the senior class of i38, To the teachers also we are debtor,- This little verse I dedicate. They tried so long to make us better. The time has come to say Farewell! Now I salute one like a father! To all of our friends we know so well. To help us, for him, is never a bother. Now comes the end of school-time fun, And if his friends were in a straight line, For our real life has just begun. To salute them all would take quite a time. A warm spot in my heart I keep, Of course, yeulve guessed, our beloved principal, For schoolday friendships warm and deep. The sincere friend and guide of each and all. A tribute to our parents dear, And now these verses I must end, Who worked so hard to keep us here! With best Wishes to the school welll always defend.
