Stoneham High School Year Book Thirty-one PRESIDENT ' S WELCOME ODAY is our graduation day and these are the exercises that mark the end of our high school days and the beginning of different careers far us. It is with genuine pleasure that, as president of the class of 1940 of the Stoneham High School, I welcome you to our com- mencement exercises. To our parents, we extend a special gratitude for their many sacrifices and their encouragement and interest in our achieve- ments. To the School Committee and the faculty we express our appreciation for their help in preparing us for the future. To all our friends, we extend a hearty welcome. This afternoon as you see us receive our diplomas you will realize, as we do, that we have come to the end of one period of our life and are ready for the next. What will it be? Surely no graduating class has stepped into a more upset world than the present. We cannot look lightly at the serious state af a war-torn world; but we can keep our hearts tolerant and our minds alert to the situation before us. Our tasks will na doubt be difficult; But with the spirit of youth, we are eager to find our place and to do well our work. We should consider it a privilege to be faced with problems, so that we may show our strength in the solving of them. I think our feelings in this respect are well expressed by the poet who said — Labor is given us. Let us give thanks! Power worketh through us Let us give thanks! Not for what we have Not for the garnering. Gratefully we sing. But for the mighty thing For our tasks and our strength; For the journey and its length; For our dauntless eagerness; For our humble weariness; For these, let us give thanks! For these, O Mighty Father, Take thou our thanks! It is with thanksgiving for knowing our tasks and high hopes for the future that we graduate today. I am indeed happy to welcome all of you now to the Graduation Exercises of the Class of 1940. — Arthur Rich
