GRADUATION NUMBER l vtsxhtnVsk bbress George E. MacNeil, Jr. You have gathered here this after- noon to witness the closing chapter in the High School career of the Class of 12-’27 and in b’ehalf of that class it gives me pleasure to welcome you all at this time. A day such as this one would not be complete without a last tribute in ap- preciation to those who are and have been responsible for our training dur- ing the past four years. To have taught and guided us in preparation for this day and future days to come required patience and encouragement. These things were never found wanting in the faculty at Stoneham High. They were patient when we became impatient, and encouraging when we became discour- aged. The high standards they held be- fore us to live from were examples and shadows from their own unquestioned characters. To-day will go down in the history of Stoneham High School as a unique occasion, because this will have been the second Senior class to graduate from Stoneham High School within a week. One week ago to-day the Class of 13-’27 received their diplomas. Ow- ing to the adoption of a new high school system it became necessary to graduate the two upper classes the same 3 ' ear. As both classes had gone along inde- pendent of each other, it was found im- possible to join them as one for this final occasion. Thus separate gradua- tions were granted by the School Com- mittee. On graduation there is a triumphant and victorious feeling, but over-shadow- ing it there is a feeling of regret. A realization dawns upon us that we are leaving — not to return. Several weeks ago we gladened at the thought of this day, but as the path narrowed and our goal came into view, the truth of de- parture from that temple of learning burned within us. Classmates: This is our last gathering ;audu juj iCnm -snoiios sb from one another, but the friendships we have formed are the kind that are not easily broken. As time drifts on and the years separating us from our High School life grow more numerous may we remember each other as class- mates. We have taken for our motto, “Not merely to exist but to amount to something is life.” Let us ponder sometime in the future and remember that what we do or wdiat we may be- come is a reflection on our school. Let us chisel its honor and do only the things that will bring it credit. All of us may take counsel in the famous words of Kipling’s “If;” If you can keep your head when all about you Are loosing theirs and blaming on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you. But make allowance for their doubt- ing too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies. Or being hated don’t give waj to hating. And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream and not make dreams your master. If you can think and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Dis- aster And treat those two imposters just the same ; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken. And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss. And lose, and start again at your begin- nings And never breathe a word about your loss; [ 11 ]
