The Valedictory By CHARLOTTE ROBBINS To me has fallen the signal honor of expressing farewell for the class of June, 1939. For four years we have zealously partaken of the advantages and facilities offered us by this institution. The corridors yet resound with the echo of our voices; the class- rooms still acknowledge our invisible presence. As a class we shall soon pass through these portals for the last time; yet a part of us will always be here. No one can sever our connection with Southwestern. Just as we have assimilated her individual spirit, she has built us into her walls. Four years ago, with the wistful hope of early youth, we entered this building; today we stand at the end of the trail. Weive worked hard and played hard, accepting Victories and smiling at defeats. Welve formed friendships and associations which even time can- not erase. As a class, we have distinguished ourselves in scholarship, athletics, and club activities. We are indeed indebted to those who have made possible this dayeto our parents, whose sacrifice and interest have been a continual source of encouragement, and to our teachers, who have so patiently and skillfully guided us through this formative period of our lives. In a few days we shall meet for the last time as a class. With each of you may I send my sincerest wish for your happiness and success. May your life be enriched by the friendships you have formed, and may you ever cherish the memories and ideals of Southwestern. So, until we meet again-farewell. The Salutatory By EVELYN MCCRAW The greatest honor ever bestowed on me was this one of being asked to welcome you on this our last gathering here before we leave to join that great fleet on the sea of life. Southwestern has been a harbor where we anchored for a few years to prepare ourselves for the journey ahead. The faculty, captains of our ships, have done so much to help us in this preparation. It is through their kind efforts that we have been able to enjoy club activities and sports. They will probably never realize just how deeply every one of us appreciates their interest, but the least I can do in behalf of the Senior Class is to thank them for everything. As we sail out of the harbor, we shall be on our own, the captains of our own ship, guiding them as we see fit. Some will follow almost the same course; many will go their own separate ways. A few will find it smooth sailing, while still others may encounter many storms, but it is my sincere hope that some day all of us shall reach the one port for which we set out. So I welcome you here today to enjoy every minute of it and make the most of it, for its memory and memories of all those happy days that have already passed will linger long after you have sailed out of the harbor and the shores and building itself have faded out of sight. Recollections By L01s LEONARD In our four years of high school life, In our second year we learned to feel Weive met both trial and fun. That we were a part of school, Whlch of these outweighs the other? Because we joined its clubs and teams, Let,s match them, one by one. And made honor marks our rule. As freshies we. were treated just As juniors, our number larger grew, As obgects of Jokes and pranks. Till it passed the five hundred mark! But didnit that prove to our young minds We felt so proud in third year high That seniors werenlt just cranks? That our tasks seemed like a lark. And now we must leave Southwestern! Many a trial welll meet. Letts continue going forward, And never admit defeat! Page Twenty
