Valedictory... A Message from Nancy Kachadoorian Valedictorian Today marks the completion of another chapter in our lives. This chapter is a memorable one. It is filled with pages of fond memories never to be forgotten. It is strange and unfortunate that only when we must depart from something do we realize how much it means to us. Hence, we find it very difficult to leave, for this also means that we are leaving a way of life.” We must enter into patterns of different shapes and accept many new responsibilities. This is hard to do; but we must learn to orient ourselves easily and smoothly as possible, for the fond experiences we dislike leaving are only a preview of the joys to come, if we have the will to follow our ambitions. Let us set our goal at a reasonable height. Aim at it with unfailing determination and perseverance, so we can achieve success in whatever we undertake. Although we may fall back- ward over steps previously taken on the steep mountain to suc- cess, we will find that the top of the mountain will be covered with golden pastures that reap rich harvests. Some of us may excel in mechanical skill, reasoning power, excellent memories, musical and artistic talents; but if we are not at the head of a class now, do not let discouragement stand in our way, for with time, things constantly change. Therefore, if we have the will, we can excel in our field of endeavor. We can do it if we work atit--workat it with honesty, determination, and zeal. Many obstacles lie in our path. Can we overtake these set- backs and rise above them to our goals? To you, Graduates of Southwestern High School, I leave the answer. A message from Marie Petzke Salutatorian Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so much we are. That is a good thought to keep in mind as we close our high school years. This is not the end of our education as so many of us §eem to think. It is only the beginning. Some of us will go on to college, others will go into the business world, but our learning should not stop with a high school or college diploma. We are again on the brink of another war, for the people of the world have yet to capture the wisdom, understanding, and tolerance necessary for perpetual peace. If only we could strive for and achieve an unbiased, well-rounded education, we will have accomplished something our forefathers have been unable to do. Some people live and learn while others just live. If every day we could conscientiously try to learn something, no matter how small, and to learn with an open mind - then we will have become scholarly. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, A scholar is the favor- ite of heaven and earth, the excellency of his country; the hap- piest of men. His duties lead him directly into the holy ground where other men’s aspirations only point. His successes are occasions of the purest joy to all men. Eyes is he to the blind; feet is he to the lame.” a Marie Petzke Salutatorian Nancy Kachadoorian Valedictorian CLASS MOTTO Knowledge is the treasure, but practice is the key to it.
