and I have here a poem which seems to fit the occasion today which I should like to read to you now. As this our shbw boat cruises along And chugs around the bend, We graduates are all aboard Waving to every friend . With an ample cast of players We put on a nine year show, As we look hack upon each act We are sad it's time to go. As we plow into life's river From Walnut Hill's little stream, We know at last, our days of school Have fulfilled a wonderful dream. Remembering the pleasant times We had until THE IESE, We'd love to stay but realize that Our school days here are past . The sponsor of our showboat cast, Our teachers one and all, . Who oiled the roughened waves for us Deserve the final curtain call, The parting whistle, now let's sound, And to our minds it brings The warning that we .now are hound For new and harder things, Farewell we say to Walnut Hill. We take this one last bow. We throw a kiss and wave our hands, For we are sailing now. Thank you ...BO-

FAREWELL ADDRESS I By George Thomazin ...4.,. .... ........ ....Salutatorian and Organization President Like all of the presidents before me, I have to say that this is one of the most important days of our lives and one to which we have looked forward for nine years. I have to say it because it is so very true. The past nine years have been enjoyable onesg in fact they may be compared to a voyage in which the ship first puts into harbor at kindergarten to pick up knowledge to be used in other harbors along the way.. V As our ship discovers new islands we discover that the each one prepares us for something bigger. Soon the pages of a book have greater meaning than just knowing words. Reading writing and arithmetic become useful and help us to enjoy the next stage of our journey. Sometimes our ship sails on clear,quiet waters and sometimes they become rough and difficult to sail, but our work aboard ship has not been tediousg each of us has had our work to do, but it has been enjoyable and we have made many new friends on the voyage. as the ship has moved along we have been putting into bigger harbors where new and more important things were learned. We looked forward to those harbors, not knowing what each would have for us. We have grown up socially and academically and accepted new responsibilities along the way. Now we shall board our ship for another voyage to sail on a larger and rougher sea, for this new stage of our travel places us farther from the guiding voice of the captain -' where we must make more and bigger decisions for ourselves and be responsible for our own ability to get our tasks done. This ship is new and larger, there will be new officers aboard her who will have different ways, and we must learn to obey their commands when their given, and operate on our own initiative when that is necessary. Our ship will sail fast and straight, and before many months seem to have passed we shall be in that port where the great ship takes us out on the sea of life. Our success there will depend on how well we have served on those on which we have sailed before. So we have come this far on our voyage, and we are all on deck, but without our loyal commanders here at Walnut Hill who have carefully kept us aboard and perhaps pushed us up the gangplank a few times, we would not all be here. While we are all gathered here on deck it seems a good time to thank those commanders for the many hours of hard work and patience in preparing us for our next venture. Our hats are off to Mrs. Stepp for the final push, and a special thanks goes to our Mrs. Carpenter, the Captain of our ship, who has piloted us from the first day to the grand finale today. Without them we never could have ridden the ... 5.. L9
