Albert Lemish Le Roy Beber Agnes Schivell Esther Muzzillo Catherine Hyde (Signed) SALUTATORY Dear Friends: Have you ever stopped to think how much lies underneath the surface of the word “Wel- come?” This word endeavors to assure you that you are well come; it is a word that we try to express in so many different ways and yet it may be beautifully summed up in these words: “My First I hope you are; My Second I see you are; My Whole I know you are.” We hope that you are well; we see that you are come; and we know that you are welcome. To you who are present here tonight this may be a pleasant occasion for we shall cer- tainly do our best to make it so; but it will be only one of the many occasions in your lives, which enjoyable as they may be at the time, will be fleeting in their influence. To us it is a great occasion, one of the brightest spots in all our lives and bound to live forever in our memories. To our parents and relatives it is an hour of pride mingled with affection; to our Pastor and our teachers it is an hour of mingled joy in our success and regret, we trust, over the necessary parting. We are sure that at this time everyone must realize something of what it means to us and while grieving with us in the sundering of dear class ties that each year has helped to make stronger, must at the same time rejoice with us that we have been able to accomplish as much as we have. We hope that you will all feel that it has been good to be with us tonight and may see in all that we do and say some assurance of your welcome, even while realizing that, as a class, we cannot well ask you to “Come again.”’—’34.

VALEDICTORY Another year of our school life is finished, and many of us have assembled for the last time. The associations which cluster round this place, more vivid in our minds today than ever before, can never be forgotten. They will go with us through life, and form an im- portant part in the individual experience of each one of us. The events of this day and of the past school days are to be remembered and recalled with pleasure, perhaps with pride, when we have passed far down into the vale of years. As we hear the aged of today rehearse the scenes of their youth, so shall we revive the memories of our school when the battle of life has been fought, and we sit down to repose after the burden and the heat of the day are passed. We cannot take leave of these familiar walls, and sunder the pleasant associations which have bound us together here, without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe to our kind Pastor, to our school, and to our teachers for their fostering care. We have too little experience of the duties and responsibili- It seems scarcely a few days since the open- ing of the school year that is now drawing to a close. When we began the fall session it seemed that the space of time from that day to the end of the year was so great that it would never give way and bring us to the close. But now it all seems different. We have noticed this change of viewpoint many times in different things. And we have learned from the consid- eration. We have learned that the manner of passing time is the best manner of achieving success. The school year had a definite end. But the year did not hurry along to that end. It took time day by day to bring about all the changes that should be effected before the end should come. So it is with the plans of our lifetime. We have learned that we should have a definite purpose and having set that purpose we must begin at the very outset to work incessantly and carefully toward the achieve- ment of all the things that make for the success of the purpose. As the movement of time does not skip a minute nor an hour so it should be in the preparation we make for whatever goal we ties of active life fully to appreciate the value of the intellectual and moral training we have received in this place. To many of us the education we have ob- tained here will be our only capital with which to begin life; and whatever of wealth and honor we may hereafter win in this world, we shall be largely indebted to our school for the means of success. Let us, then, dear classmates, ever remem- ber our school with affection and deepest grati- tude. We shall ever be justly proud of those who have so wisely placed the means of a Christian education within the reach of all. To Reverend Father Bennett, to our teachers, to our parents and to all those who have shown an active interest in our school, we return our sincere thanks for their hearty and continued interest in our welfare. And now, fellow c lassmates, the class of nineteen hundred thirty-four will soon sep- arate, never again to be united in the school- room. May prosperity and happiness attend Pastor, teachers and scholars in their future career !—’34, strive for. All the details and all the parts of the whole plan must be attended to if we would finally be successful. Success is the prize of well laid plans and careful execution. Failure is the result of carelessness in one point. The aviator is conscious of this when he inspects his ship before a flight. He knows that safety depends on the proper working order of each part and that weakness in only one place will spell disaster. And whether a fatal accident is the result of a weakness in the motor or in the frame of his ship or in one of the struts the ultimate failure is the same. What is true in this instance is also true in the whole realm of human endeavor, whether it be the spiritual or the temporal. These thoughts give us more courage in the performance of the many seemingly trivial things that go to make up life. We feel that every task has its place in the great fabric that is life. And with a whole-heartedness we have tried and will continue to put our best effort in each of the many things we undertake, keeping the end in view, while not overlooking the measured progress toward that end.
