vvvvvrvvwvvv We Are Prepared Members of the School Board, the Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen: In behalf of the Class of 1933 I welcome you to this occasion of our stepping into real and independent life, and thank you for your aid in preparing us for this transition. I said that we seniors were welcoming you. In reality it is you who are wel- coming us. Having for the most part completed our training, we are ready to step into your midst to take up our burdens. You, by your coming here tonight, are ex- tending friendly hands to draw us, inexperienced as yet in practical affairs, into real life. However, we are not as unsophisticated as is commonly thought. Our twelve years of schooling have given us many more things than just Hreadin', writin,, 'rith- metic.,7 To our knowledge of abstract theory must be added our training in social and civic life, including our manners, and a varied fund of information not obtain- able from teachers, but gotten directly through the influence of the school. In some respects we are more advantageously situated than those in the same position in the past. Many things, for instance, which were formerly taught by parents to their children, are now learned at school. Much is included in this extra heritage from our school days. Many of our traits have been brought out by actual contact with others in this young world, the school. Knowing ourselves, we can now adapt ourselves more fully to the outside world. Habits of punctuality, honesty, and order have been instilled into many of us. The responsibilities of school work, properly met, have made it easier for us to face the responsibilities of life. A full sense of our social and civic obligations is the most valuable gift of our school days. We hope to enter life better men and better citizens as a result of our knowledge of everyday affairs. In closing, I feel that we of the Class of 1933, endowed with these valuable as- sets, are fully prepared to meet the emergencies of life. And just as you have done, we hope to give to posterity the kindness, the care, and the welcoming hand which we acknowledge and accept this evening.

I wasvon my way to the third World's Fair and I was as excited as a girl. Why! I was almost as thrilled as I used to be when I attended the big annual fair at Brookfield, I refiected. I could still picture that event so clearly-the live stock show-the horse races-and the seeming swarms of people. In that crowd, I could even visualize the faces of my old classmates, who were always there without fail. My reminiscence set me wondering what had happened to the grad- uates of 533. How I would like to see them again! I resolutely put such thoughts out of my mind and watched the passengers boarding the ship. My attention was attracted to a woman who must have been at least seven feet tall. I watched her with interest as she twined herself around the chair next to mine. Imagine my surprise when she turned and spoke to me with joyful recognition. She saw my bewilderment and she introduced herself-Thelma Dunn-Thelma Hughes to me. Of course, I first asked her about the phenomenon of her growth. Then she explained that she was so short and Raymond so tall that A--x--AA.-,-x A--- A AAAAQAAAA
