GREENLEAF LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: GHIS is the first and last-the only time that Fate turns her course to the graduation exercises of the class of nineteen-hundred and seventeen. There- fore We welcome you here this evening with the greatest pleasure. We welcome you not only to our graduation, but also to our initiation, our initiation into manhood and womanhood. We have finally gained the- threshold, towards which we have so long been tending. VVe could not have approached it with- out an effort on our part, nor without those opportunities which the city has offered. We greatly appreciate these opportunities. They lately have been increased by the facilities of the new Public Library. VVe unit' have a build- ing which we may well be proud of, and we make use of a good thing when we finally get it. We are very grateful for the material assistance which we 'have constantly obtained there and which has been so helpful to us in all our studies. We consider this a fitting time publicly to acknowledge the close co-operation of the librarian and his assistants with the public schools. We also appreciate your patronage. Members of the community have ob- served our social events, and have, of late, criticized with due right the elabo- rateness of these affairs. We accepted their criticisms in regard to unnecessary expense, though we still think our pres- ent assembly hall inadequate for our more formal events. The public have also enthusiastically attended our ball games, foot ball in particular, and have cheered our numerous successes, Our enviable place in interscholastic athletics is not due to a nicely equipped gymna- sium, but to the hearty support of the ....,,.,.x.,x..x.,.s.,N.,X.,.e..K.,,.,N.,N.,.,.,.e.,.N.., fa ' 'N 'X A ' 'e 'X 45.9 public in unison with the earnest effort of the boys and coaches. Wfe hope in time to come that as a reward for these successes we may receive a gymnasium such as befits a school of our reputa- tion. Qne other very important need of the school is a better lunch counter. Two years ago the domestic science depart- ment on the top Hoor of the building was greatly improved. Several newly furnished rooms were added, so that the girls might have training in scientific housekeeping Now that the top Hoor has been so nicely equipped, a better lunch room should be installed in the basement for the sake of consistency- if nothing more. The present lunch counter is so small-that every noon we have had to struggle to get food before it was all gone. The domestic science departments in some schools have found it possible to supply the school with food for their lunch counter. Perhaps in the future VValtham also will be able to do so. but at any rate we hope the boys and girls will not always be com- pelled to push and jam to get a sand- wich or two. However, when we recall the hin- drances we have contended with during this last year, we consider ourselves fortunate for graduating at this time. You will remember that at the first of this school year, the fear of an epidemic of infantile paralysis was so great that for a time it was doubtful whether the schools had better open then or not. Fortunately the cause for fear was soon abated. During this year so many teachers have left that it brings great credit to their successors that the work in their departments has been kept up in its usual manner.
