6 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ' N SCHOOLDAYS RUTH LIBBY, Valedirfcmzn I wonder if anyone ever realizes the value of his schooldays until they are over: really knows just what help they lave been and what good times they have furnished? I don't believe a per- son does. But just as soon as school- days are over, everyone realizes at once that the most carefree part of his life has ended. VVe thinkuofvschooldays with joy be- cause we still have the knowledge we acquired, not only school lessons but als.m the lessons in honor and good sportsmanship.

The friendships formed at school are thc-.sc that last a lifetime. The friends that one can go to, to be helped when one lxas been unfortunate as well as to be praised when one has done some- thing great. Friendship is what makes school life so happy.

Classmates:-I say goodby to you last because I hope that we will stay in each other's thoughts longest. XVe are net saying goodby to each other for all time tonight, but we are saying it for all time to the good old days at Stan- dish High. As we are going on to other days that will be just as happy as those gone by, we must not feel too sad. Let us forget neither our high school days nor the teachers and friends who made them possible. Let us always remember the friendships formed there and when we grow old and see other carefree high school students let us not criticize them too harshly but remember that we were once the same ourselves. And so, dear Classmates, I bid you all goodby. SALUTATORY EDNA BUTTERFIELD Speaking in behalf of the Class of 1925, I extend to all present the most cordial welcome.
