SALUTATCDIQIAN We, the class of 1940, welcome you who have come to attend our commence- ment. We are glad to share this proud moment in our lives with those who are most interested in our welfare. Tonight marks the beginning of a new era in our lives. Tomorrow, we launch our ships on the uncharted sea of life. Our yesterdays have been spent in preparation for the launching of those ships. For many years our teachers and parents have been helping us prepare for the journey over unknown seas. They have been teaching us to steer our course around rocks and shoals. The true test of character and courage is to be able to keep an even keel upon stormy seas. Now we are ready to depart and although we are not sure of the future we are eager to set forth. We hope to be able to send out the life line to some shipwrecked sailor who is less fortunate in life's preparation than we, and help him bring his ship safely to harbor. We will enter many ports where we will exchange cargoes consisting of our talents, skills, and knowledge with other personalities: thereby, we. as young American citizens, hope to be better fitted to take our positions in the society in which we live. To many, our tomorrows will bring new and un- expected experiences. Our group will soon be divided: some going on to higher education: some entering the industrial world: and still others becoming home- makers. Whatever route we take, we hope eventually to steer our ships safely into the harbor of success so that we may in this way show our appreciation to our parents. our teachers, and the school for their help. We hope when we reach the final Haven of Rest to hear the Master say, Well done. thou good and faithful servant. Again we extend to you our welcome and appreciation for what your presence here tonight means to us, the class of 1940, lVlARGUERITE MCDONALD Salutatorian 2I
