' JEANETTE ETALL Our troubles come from trying to put the left-hand boot on the right-hand foot. Jeanette Etall, the shortest girl in the high school, was always quiet in her ways. She was the musician of the senior class. Her ability for singing was shown when she sang between acts at the school plays. She was pianist for the Glee Club in her junior and senior years.

But today we graduates of Saint Joseph School cry aloud in buoyant hope, We who are about to live salute you. It is true that we have been living but tonight marks an epochal turn in our lives. We are cognizant of the fact that the year 1940 may mark the end of an epoch and the beginning of another not only for us but for the world at large. For at least ten years graduates of high schools have been taking places in a country caught in the throes of an economic depression and unemployment. The census taken in the spring will show just what has happened in the last decade and to thinking minds adjustments will be suggested. In a certain sense we shall be pioneers. Not the pioneers of the frontier as our forefathers were, but motivated by the same principles of faith, honor, sacrifice and courage we shall do our little part in perfecting the economic and social structure which is our ‘'frontier.'' We shall use what we have learned in making satisfactory adjustments to the conditions of the times in which we live. We have more leisure than the pioneers had and if we use it rightly civili- zation can steadily advance. Again we who 'finish to begin'' salute you. |
