Salutator ELIZABETH DABQLL L.xD1Es AND GENTLEMEN: i E, the Class of Nineteen Hundred iw and Thirteen, welcome you cor- dially to our closing exercises. Since we first came into the school, every- thing has been done to help us. The very building itself contains - much of educational 1 value .in the form of pictures and statuary which have been pre- sented to the school by former classes and by interested friends. As F We become familiar with famous works of art, we cultivate our tastes and thus we learn to appre- ciate things artistic. Especially beautiful is the picture given by the class of nineteen hun- dred and twelve. It is a copy o-f a painting of one of a series in the Library of Congress. VVashington, known as The Progress of Printing, this particular picture represents Manuscript VVriting and it is well worth one's trouble to go and see it in the High School Assembly Hall. Qur class has given a companion piece, Oral Traditionf' from the same series. From the external surroundings, we pass to school work, and the teachers, who are surely doing their best to further our inter- ests. It is often hard to realize that we are actually working for our own good and not for the teacher's. W'hy should we do this, or that? is the question that we ask our- selves. just at the time we may not feel particularly interested in the subjectg but, some day that question will be answered for us. Everyone may find a course suited to his own taste, whether he incline toward a general course, with.manual training or a business course. or a Vifith the addition of a new cooking room, there Nl are many more possibili- ties for those taking domestic science. The teachers themselves can testify as to the attain- ments of the pupils in this line, for lunches domestic science, classical course. have often been served to them. We are helped not only in school, but even outside of school, for those who wish employ- ment in their leisure hours may apply to our vocation bureau. Many business men of the city consult with the teachers in charge of this new department about the positions which high school boys or girls could till. In this way. some of those who otherwise might be obliged to leave school to go to work are provided for. For the help of those who are graduating, but have not yet decided what they can do, there are vocational charts, in which are names of schools and other institutions for every kind of voca- tion, such as law, nursing, teaching, and many others. Beside the regular school work, we re- ceive another kind of education in the form of travels. Our sub-master has entertained us several times with travel talks about the Yellowstone Park and different countries of Europe. The stereopticon pictures added

5.XLL l'.X'l'URY greatly to the interest of the subjects and showed us the differences between the Old and the New NVorlds. They are one of the pleasures which we shall miss very much, and we hope he will continue these lectures for the beneht of those who come after us. To our sub-master, also we owe our Wasli- ington trip. It is unfortunate that the whole class could not have participated in this instructive and altogether delightful ex- perience. Qur visit to the many govern- ment buildings and other places of interest can never be forgotten. I am sure we are all prouder of our Capital city now than be-- fore we had seen or heard so much about it. There are also chances for the boys and girls to develop their physical powers. VVhereas before. all the profits of the foot- I ball and baseball games were devo-ted to a few boys, now an effort is being made to provide recreation for as many pupils of the High School as possible. This year five tennis courts have been made on the new Athletic Field and other sports have been provided. It is very encouraging to see the interest with which the young people have taken up the new sports. Vtfith all these opportunities, the Waltham High School ought to and does send out many well-trained boys and girls. Some of them are here tonight, just ready to step into the places which are waiting for them. It is hoped that all may attain what they seek, and remember with pleasure the Wal- tham High School which has helped them in their progress. .
