Parents, Teachers. Members of the School Board, and Friends: Tonight as we come before you, we cannot help looking back, thinking of those who have helped us reach this momentous place in our lives. We are begin- ning to realize that it is not through our own efforts alone that we are here, but that it is through your sacrifice, care, patience, and helpfulness, We owe our place on this program tonight to your good judgment and co- operation. You, as parents and friends. have indirectly guided the progress of this school and our relation to it. The school board, that you choose, determines the personnel of our teachers, who cooperate with our parents for our best ad- vantage. It is this perfect circle that has been moulding our lives, opening our eyes to what is around us, preparing us for this commencement of a new phase of life. First, in our hearts are our parents, the guiding hand that started us into the world. It was you who laid the foundation for us with the cornerstone of Love-a task which was great in itself. A foundation had to be given to us that would take us through twelve years of school life and be ready to weather the storms of the future. It could not be a foundation of sand or straw. lt had to be one of the best grade of cement. chosen with the utmost care. To you, the teachers, we owe a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. For the hours you spent helping us over rough ground that we might reach the summit of youth. we are very grateful. For the patience you have shown in directing us as a pilot guides a transport plane through the dark uncertainties of night. we thank you from the depths of our hearts. We can smile at the times you made us stand in the corner, and think of them as real aids in our development of character. A great deal of credit is due the school board. Without this connecting link between our parents and teachers, cooperation would be diflicult, and without cooperation we could not enjoy the tools with which you furnish us to work. And last, but far from least, we wish to thank our friends whose love has gone with us through all our undertakings-faithful and true. With these thoughts in our minds. we sincerely bid you welcome. K -Vivian Smith, SALUTATORY

NE of the common sights and sounds today is that of a large airplane sail- ing over our heads. motors pounding in perfect unison. gracefully fiving through the air like a huge bird. its silver body glistening 'in the sun- light. Surely, some think. this invention of man is his greatest achievement. Vvfhat patience. effort. courage. and faith have gone into the modeling of that graceful ship that soars so easily through the atmospheref Here is the culmina- tion of man's earliest dreams. After years marked bv failures. man is now reason- ably certain that an airplane flight will be successful and will allow him to reach his destination quickly and safely. Weeks and perhaps months were spent to get the plane in readiness for this flight. Skilled workmen have carefully examined and tested every part of the delicate mechanism before the beginning of the journey. The pilot has studied and inspected the plane and its engines for he well knows the hazards to be en- countered in flying. We, the members of the class of l935. are somewhat like those aviators. who have spent a long period of time in preparation for their test flight. For this night of graduation marks the beginning of our test-flight for which our teach- ers. the pilots, have prepared us. The same qualities found in a successful aviator are also qualities which we have tried to cultivatcgpatience. sustained effort. responsibility. and endurance. Fortunate is he who has learned these lessons well. Up to this time we seniors have had a definite goal. realized tonight in this event. our graduation. From this point our destination is not so clear but we are grateful for what education has shown us-that the only true happiness is real- ized in service to humanity. Through education the world has opened up before our eyes in all its beauty and mystery. We have learned to connect the past and the present and by means of this to see glimpses of the future. And now with the aviator's same courage and faith. we. the class of 1935. point our planes toward the future. confident that our fiight will be successful if We steer for the port of Service to Humanity. -Margaret Krall.
