GRADUATION NUMBER l restbent’s .hitvcgs Thomas E. Pardue, Jr. Parents, Teacdiers, Friends and Class- mates : In behalf of the Class of 1928 I take great pleasure in welcoming you to these, our graduation exercises. For twelve years, we, as a class, have been together in both work and pleas- ure but today we are meeting for the final time. In the last four years our number has greatly decreased and those who have succeeded find truth in the proverb of old, “Success is wrought by deeds not words.” The realization of this truth is now forced upon us in ‘a singular light. We now realize that our deeds alone are not responsible for carrying us through the three years of our high school ca- reer but a large measure of our success is due to the deeds of others. Ever faithful parents, we are not too over-joyed in this day of triumph to realize that all our achievements in life, now and forevermore, we owe to you. Whether you are with us here or in that greater land beyond, your unceasing love alone makes life worth living. In you, our teachers, we have always found the guidance of a friend. Untiring, ever patient, helping both the ambitious and the indifferent, you have brought us a united body to this graduation day. Parents and teachers, we will hold you ever in our hearts as the nearest and dearest, realizing that your deeds have laid the foundation upon which this and our future success depends. Commencement is not a day of sad- ness. It is rather a day of triumph and joy. It is a time, without which dreams could never come true, and visions could never be realized. It is the great step in life which must be taken, an up- 1 ward and not a downward one. It brings to us more abundant life, where faith becomes sight. A day or sadness? No. A day of victory by which the gates to happiness have been opened wide. Classmates, this event does not rep- resent a treaty of peace by which our battle is ended. It is but an armistice in which our arms have been laid down only to Ije taken up again at the trum- pet sound. When it sounds we will find new obstacles. The foe will be in- creased, our allies will have decreased, and all will be a new battle. There will be no teacher’s guiding hand and perchance no parent’s. When the trum- pet sounds we will find a new world wliere success depends upon our deeds and ours alone. Yet this thought does not over shadow our joyful day because behind this cur- tain of toil we are inspired by a never I ending beacon of light which we call i happiness. Pure it is, never affected I by the outside turmoil, “Firm as the [ hills, unyielding as stone-.” All the j hardships and depressions of the world j can not overcome its ra} s. They pene- i trate the darkest night and outshine the brightest day. Through years of toil they will guide us and keep ever in the future a blossom of hope. My classmates, our days of fellowship have come to an end. Each one of us will find different paths to travel and never again on this earth will we meet in a united body. We are meeting for the final time and yet it is a joyful day for in our years together we find we have made virtuous friendships, which can never be severed by space Though we will be apart, we or time.
