Page 8 SP@evrevreecerereseee MEMORIES -S. J. H. - 1935 SALUTATORY Dear friends, the great honor of speaking the words that shall bid you welcome here today has been conferred upon me. I am very grateful for this mark of faver, but still, as I look around upon your faces, so much more clearly marked with the lines of wisdom and wider experience than ours may be, for many years to come, I cannot help but feel that the words of welcome sheuld come from you. It is true you have demon- strated your interest in us by coming here tonight, yet it is we who are passing out into your midst, it is we who are joining vou in the larger field of pregress, it is we who are entering into your pursuits and pleas- ures and becoming one with you in the social and business centers that make up active life. So much of our success there will de- pend, too, upon the way in which you receive us and the spirit in which you respond to our enthusiasm. Is it not we, then, whe should ask for the glad hand of welcome? Then while we do truly thank you most humbly for coming, we feel that we must also ask your forbearance and kindly sympathy, and crave from each of you as we step forth into yeur midst the warm handshake and cordial smile that will assure us of vour joy at bidding us welcome. VALEDICTORY We, who stand tonight, at the meeting be- tween a happy past and an unknown future, have reached not the end but the Commence- ment of our lives. And what those lives are to be depends in a large measure upon the foundations we have been building for them in cur high school years. Tonight, at the end of our course, I am fired with the zeal of a class patriotism that I would like to be able to transmit to you with all of its thrilling force. It seems well for us who are about to step forth into the arena cf the world’s piog- ress to consider something of what our parts in the great battle of life are, or ought to be, as citizens of the greatest republic and the grandest nation in all the world, repre- senting before its people the best school of all that cever the land from ocean to ocean. Dear friends, we who are passing out of high school life into more active citizenship today, feel that we have a place in the na- tional life. We feel that each one of us has work to do in demonstrating the spirit of patriotism that is in us. We can all have a part in the reconstruction that is geing on all over the land. Whatever helps to make a better nation; whatever serves to elevate the people of the land to any higher plane of thought and life; whatever in any way makes America, or any portion of it, better worth living in, is helping the great work of reccn- structicn, and remember, whatever elevates the individual, elevates the community in which that individual lives. We are overflow- ing with class patriotism tonight and we step forth to the arena with a full sense of our own importance, resolving to do with a cheerful heart the work that God appoints, whatever that work may be. We expect great things of curselves, and we trust that you, too, may expect great things of us, and may not be disappointed. Dear Reverend Father and teachers, vou who have had the training of us for the past four years, we know how fully you have realized that the stro ngest asset of the Amer- ican nation, and indeed, of every naticn is its citizenship. You have certainly put foith every effort to make true American men and women out of the raw material in your hands. We thank you at this time for all that you have so cheerfully done and tried to do, for each one cf us, and trust that the years to come may demonstrate to your satisfaction as well as to our own, that you were really as successful as even your ambition could desire in turning us out—men and women. Classmates, let us resolve that they shall. (Concluded on Page 18)
