THE VALEDICTGRY By CHRISTINE IYIARKOUL There comes a time in the life of every one of us when we are called to do some task that seems too difficult for us. After we think it over, however, we find that it becomes a bit easier as we thrash it out in our mind. So I felt about the task of bidding farewell to you today. When I considered that others had done it before me, I decided that per- haps it was not as perplexing as it had first appeared to be. Today marks one of our final meetings as a class. We are glad to have completed the past four years successfully, but our happiness is tinged with sorrow. We shall miss the friends we have made, we shall often remember the delightful times we had while we were here. This familiar building has been our foster home for four years: it is with genuine regret that we must say farewell to Southwestern. Perhaps a few of us feel that now that school is over, we are free from our biggest burdeng but our problems really begin after we are graduated. The world is a stricter school than any we have attended before. The responsibilities are great, and a high degree of efficiency is required to pass the examinations in lifels school. It is true that the way will not be easy, but we must not be discouraged. The oppor- tunities in our country are greater than those offered in any other country in the world. We have the chance to choose our own careerg we have the right to think, speak, and write as we please. Many nations across the ocean are at war, many people are enslaved under the rule of dictators. Surely we have a greater future ahead of us than have the youth of those countries. Our school days have been the formative ones of our life, those in which we have been laying the foundations for our character and preparing ourselves for the career that we have selected. When we leave these familiar halls, let us remember that we have an opportunity to make a success of our lives. Let us face the future bravely and hopefully, with the idea in mind of making the world a better place because we have lived in it. A S A L U TAT O R Y TO OUR PARENTS AND TEACHERS By ORNELLA DA VINCHIE Parents and Faculty Members: A great honor has been conferred upon mefthat of speaking the words that will bid you welcome today. Our lives from now on depend in a large measure upon the foundations we have been building during our high school years. Because we are citizens of the greatest republic in the world, you, our parents and teachers, have taught us to feel it our duty to stress citizen- ship in our foundations. What is citizenship? Each of us has his own definition. Lincoln defined it as that highest and best love of country, that has the nation's purest and noblest good at heartff You, as teachers and parents, have fully realized that the strongest asset of the nation is good citizenship, and for that reason you have put forth every effort within your power to teach us its principles. You taught us that as worthy citizens we should accept responsibil- ities, meet disappointment and sorrow standing up, take the bitter with the sweet, and ex- pect from life only what we put into it. Because of your untiring patience in teaching us these things, we owe to you our undying gratitude. We trust that in the years to come we may demonstrate to your satisfaction, as well as to our own, that your teachings have not been in vain. A SALUTATORY TO MY CLASS By HELEN GREGOSKY Classmates and Friends: Each semester a student is given the honor of extending a welcome to the senior class day exercises. This semester I have the privilege of sharing this honor, and it is with joy mingled with sorrow that I do so. For four years fate has kept us together, harbored by the walls of Southwestern. In these four happy years, spent among our friends, we have learned many things that will help us to cope with the world and its problems. Now fate has opened the gates leading to the world, and we must go our separate ways. As we look down the path singled out for each of us, we see that it is a rough and a steep one, but at the end there is a light. That light is the goal for which we must fight. Yes, we must go into the battle, but not unarmed. For if we are losing South- western, we are receiving something in return, and that is our future. Education is our weapon against the world and its obstacles. Let us then take this foundation and treasure it. Let us build upon it our life, and let us try to make that life worthy of the foundation.
