Ye iclent Ad are o By DOUGLAS SEYMOUR f w, e i co me As president of the graduating class of 1942, I am very happy to extend to our parents and friends here tonight a most cordial welcome. To us, graduation is an accomplishment made possible not only by our own perseverance but by the patience and encouragement of our parents and teachers. We attribute our success to those upon whom we depend the most. We wish to express our appreciation to the school officials for ful- filling their duties so ably and to the faculty for not only teaching us but for developing our character. As we leave our school we face a grave situation. What tomorrow will bring us we do not know. We join with the thousands in hoping that the present conflict will soon have a brighter outlook. In any event, we should not allow it to darken our hopes and ambitions, or hinder us in accomplishing our purpose. This brings to mind the birthright and privileges that the founders of our great nation have given us. War has caused us to ap- preciate our democracy. It is our duty to preserve it by accepting the re- sponsibilities which face us in the future and by serving our country in whatever way we can. As we chose our course in life, let us remember Joseph Gilder ' s The Parting of the Ways . cTl e (Partincj of cJlie CJYays Before thy feet the ways divide: One path leads up to heights sublime; Downward the other slopes, where bide The refuse and the wrecks of Time. Choose then, or falter at the start, O choose the nobler path and part! Be thou the guardian of the weak; Ot the unfriended, thou the friend; No guerdon for thy valor seek, No end beyond the avowed end. Wouldst thou thy godlike power preserve, Be godlike in the will to serve! We have indeed come to the parting of the ways, but tonight we join in welcoming our parents and friends to the graduation exercises of the Class of 1942.
