MEMORIES-1925 21 IlllllllllllllIIIIIIIUIIIlllIIIIlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllIIIllIIIIIIIIIllllllIlllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIllIIIIIllIllllIllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIlllllIIIIIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIlllIIIIIlIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII VALEDICTORY RIENDS, relatives and schoolmates: It is my duty to- night to bid farewell to you. We know how a young man who enters the army is first known as a Private. In this rank his duties are many but his responsibilities are few. He advances to Lieutenant and not only are his duties increased but his responsibilities are doubled. If he labors and improves himself he will perhaps at last be promoted to the high rank of General. It is at this stage that he realizes not only his daily duties but the great work which is before him, that of learning to mingle with and direct those about him. So it was in our school life. NVe started as Freshmen with few duties. VVe worried little and lived a happy care free routine. VVe advanced to Sophomores and a few more duties were placed upon us. As we entered the Junior year we realized that we were far from the Gates of Knowledge, that our responsibilities were increased and that we were a little superior to our lower classmates. This year we have realized how little we know. XYe have experi- enced one of our hardest but happiest years. It has been a lesson to us in realizing the meaning of responsibilities. VVe, like the General, now realize that we must learn to mingle with society and not only please ourselves. but others. This school life has not all been a ray of sunshine. Many have fallen along the wayside and it has taken courage. hope. faith and toil for us to be able to finish our course. There have been many dreary days. It is not all play, but if taken in the right way hard labor and sacrifices must be given, but the gold that is refined in the hottest furnace comes out the purest, and we feel tonight that we have been fully paid for the hardships we have undergone. ln high school we have not only been taught facts. princi- ples and laws but factors that are beneficial to one regard- less of his vocation. W'e have been taught to appreciate bet- ter music, better literature and better amusements. VVe have been taught the meaning of true citizenship and how to live with society. This year we have had two valuable organiza- tions created. The Literary Society, which is as yet in its infancy but its value. we hope. in years to come to be incap- able of measurement. The Girls Athletic Association has struggled to teach the girls to have high aims and ideals. Tonight we pause in a moment of sadness, wondering when we shall meet again. This parting is different from any we have thus far witnessed. VVe are happy that we have this opportunity but yet we cannot cast aside this melancholy feeling. VVe realize the benefits that we have received from our facutly, not only this year but also of the years before. XYhen we traveled through the crisis of many great problems it was their noble minds and thoughtfulness that advanced us to this stage of life and now I take the opportunity of thank- ing them for their endeavor to help us in our work. YVe desire also to thank you juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. for your help throughout our high school career, for your willingness to cooperate and for the honor you have given us. Wie wish to thank the entire community for its efforts in making possible this education at home and for the support it has given us in our social activities of the past. 'We cannot express our appreciation to you, our parents, for your untiring help in this course and the sacrifices you have given. As a token of appreciation we have dedicated our annual to you and we will struggle to fulfill your ideals
