ECHOES OF 1935 VALEDICTORY Classmates and Friends: Tonight is the last time we shall be together as a group — the last time we shall meet under the direct supervision of our parents and teachers. Tomorrow marks a new era in our lives, and we should now try to look ahead and see what the future holds in store for us. Our lives are scoreboards, and tonight we all mark down our first score — the first score which will start us in our attempt to win the game. The plans we have made and shall make will determine the number of scores we can mark down to- morrow. If our plans are formulated carefully, we can be sure of winning the game; if they are made in a haphazard fashion, we shall no doubt fall behind and perhaps be forced to cheat a bit to meet the opposition of the world. We are the men and women — the citizens of tomorrow; we should plan our lives so that we shall have made the world a little better for our having lived in it. We realize that it is now time for us to take our lives into our own hands. Let us see how fine and clean we can keep these scoreboards; let us mark down only those scores which we have earned honestly, so that we can say we have won the game through fair play. We should attempt to develop our characters in order that we can abide by the laws of God and man to such an extent that we shall not have lived in vain. Alexander Pope said, A little learning is a dangerous thing. How true that statement is! With a little learning, we can do but a small bit toward developing our characters and aiding our country, but with a great deal of learning, we can meet the opposition of the world and accomplish great things. Many of us will not be able to go on to institutions of higher learning, but we know that all learning is not to be found in books. The world, outside of college, is full of things from which we can learn, if we only try to find them. Our search for education should not stop with a high school diploma, but should be inspired by it. If we cannot continue our education in school, we should seek out the partially hidden opportunities and learn from them. In doing this, we shall be mat king down many scores, the scores which will help us to win the game. Our class motto — Today we follow, tomorrow we lead — clearly illustrates what tonight means in our lives. Our parents and teachers have been leading us care- fully, and we have been following. Although we shall be influenced by their leadership, tonight stops our deliberate following, and begins our career of guiding. What we do with our lives now will determine whether or not we are good or bad guides; what we do will have a marked influence on those who look to us for en- couragement. Tonight let us all utter a fervent prayer, asking that we be good, strong leaders — leaders whom anyone would be proud to follow. MARY BELL Twenty-one
