I' I I E R A R L I N G T () N VALEDICTORY Tonight marks the closing of a great episode in the lives of the members of the class of twenty-six—the greatest, perhaps I should say, for our high school days have been the foundation for the broader, the more intense life which is to come to each one of us. By this foundation our future will be determined; with it. we shall meet the hardships, the difficulties which will arise, and if it has been a good one. we shall pass each crisis successfully. As we stand here tonight, we all feel equal to facing the responsibilities necessary for us to assume. We have a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of life, we have formed ideals, and we have confidence enough to feel that we may pursue those same ideals. Some of us may go on to higher institutions of learning, others to take part in the business world, but nevertheless, we will continue to hold dear the memories of our high school days in Arlington. Members of the faculty: Each one of us will keep open a place in our hearts for you during the coming years, and for the attitude toward life and the noble principles you have taught us. and we will strive to live up to those same things. It has been your preparation during the past four years which enables us to meet the future bravely, and it has been you who have helped us to form our ideals. Tonight we realize this more fully than ever before, and give you our deepest thanks as we bid you farewell. Classmates: Tonight we are at the parting of the ways. For four years we have been together, sharing with each other our joys and our sorrows, and. along with one another, struggling to gain a greater conception of life. From this time onward we shall each go our own way—seeking the portal of success which is so near and yet so far. If we reach it. our efforts will not have been in vain, and we will reach it. I feel certain. At least, let us try. and let us not give up when we are confronted by obstacles, and at the times when sacrifices are needed let us make them cheerfully and without complaint. Let us show our loyalty, our un-dying devotion to Arlington High, and to the members of the faculty who have done so much for us, and by doing this we shall be loyal to ourselves. Fellow students and school-mates of the graduating classes to come: We, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-six, have reached the end of our high school career; and, with courageous hearts undaunted by the unknown future, and with regret that these happy days of companionship have drawn to a close, we bid you farewell.
