VALEDICTORY . Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Two - our graduating year! How doubly im- portant these four years at Thayer seem, as we look back on them now. They have been happy and profitable, too. As American youth, facing the unpleasant, but not impossible, task of fighting to keep Democracy alive, we can now see the value of these preparatory years. The very aspects of Democracy, which we are striving so diligently to preserve, have been instilled in us during our stay at Thayer. To our minds it seems that Thayer in itself is a nucleus of Democracy. To do things not because we are commanded to, but because we want to do them of our own free will -- this is the feeling with which our headmaster and faculty have inspired us. Under their able direction we have undertaken and accomplished such pleasant tasks as our concert, our play, and our special assemblies. ln our classrooms we have acquired not only knowledge but also such attributes as co-operation, concentration, and initiative. For this aid and inspiration we are deeply grateful. Betsey Moreton
