VALEDICTORY QCon'd.J The first school house to be built in Spencerville was constructed on the west side of the canal and was taught by Mr. and, Mrs. Ditto. Later a school house was erected on alot at the corner of Fourth and Pearl streets. This was used until the year 1876 when the prosperity of the Spencerville community demanded a larger school. Thus the sun found the people broadening their visions. For now they had a four room brick school building, which, with many additions, forms our grade school. Time marches on. How often has the sun smiled down on the face of North America., watched over the United States as it built itself into a prominent nation, respected by all the world, visited each picturesque spot, making it into a fairy-land of beauty? The sun remembers, as well as do many of you tonight, the day of February 4th, 1927, when this building in which we have gathered was dedicated. Our community has not sat idly with hands folded but has accepted the challenge of the modern world to keep pace with it. The school and the community must grow together. For its part, the school is furnish- ing a place in which you may come and learn. Friends, the school is not only a place for boys and girls from six to eighteen to come and learn, but also for you. Short courses are held here both in the summer and also the winter months. The community and school grow together. Fellow classmates, we are leaving this building, dear to our hearts, to make for ourselves a plac-el in the world. We have worked togefther and we shall continue to work together thus proving that we are worthy of the sacrifices made for us. The sun, as it set this evening, lingered for just a moment to see this tribute to higher education. It found a grand group of teachers-our faculty. It stopped and gazed at the Board of Education that has given its best that we boys and girls may make better citizens. It also shone on this community of people, you peofple in this audience, and you who are taxpayers, who, in the way of progress and encouragement are cheer- ing us on to higher roads of learning and better citizenship. This is a community not excelled by any in this entire nation. Classmates, let's accept the challenge of the world, and as friends, make our community proud of this graduating class of 1940. Friends are works of art that all may leave behind, Friendship a greatness all may win. Friends are the axis the old world turns upon And friendship the power that makes it spin. r3r211n11111111:1n21i1r2nirs: Pgfj 18 n2oir2l1i1 n:1v: vjoIcQ E C H O E S Duioiuvioiwrisvinicrmoiozcvqoisvie r1oI1Q
