The Senior Year Book — 1946 President's Address Parents, faculty, and members of the graduating class: We have come to the day which we have always looked forward to with eager anticipation, but now that it is here, we are a bit regretful. We must break the bonds that have held us together as classmates for the past school years. Soon we shall go into the various phases of business, trade, or college for which we have been preparing. We may not all achieve great fame, but whether we do or not, let us remember that we received our basic principles here at the Westerly High School. To our faculty we owe a debt of gratitude. They have strived to prepare us for the difficult problems which we will inevitably meet in future years, and if we cannot cope with these problems, it is through no fault of theirs. To the members of the armed forces of our country who have recently terminated a second World War of destruction and hate, we give thanks from the bottom of our hearts. They fought so that the ideals upon which this country was founded might be preserved. They made it possible for us to continue our education through the war years by keeping the enemy from our shores. The school children of the devastated countries were not so fortunate as we; they were compelled to discontinue their education because of dictators who wished to dominate the world. They are also thankful to the liberators who freed their countries from dictatorial reign. Above all, we must not forget those that made the supreme sacrifice. They gave their all, not in vain, so that this nation might live and progress. To them we cannot express thankfulness or appreciation enough to recompense for the service which they have rendered not only to us, but also to our beloved country. We pray that their souls may rest in peace. The years we have spent at Westerly High will always linger in our memories, for they have been joyful. We shall not forget the proms, parties, dances, and fun in the classroom. Our victorious athletic teams we shall always remember, for they provided us with many thrills, and we were proud to claim them as our own. We showed our school spirit at these games by cheering our hearts and lungs out for good old Westerly High. Although we are leaving old friends, we shall go out into the world to make new and probably just as important friendships. We must face the future with determination and work hard to make this world a better place to live in. To the members of the Class of 1946, a wish that their coming years may be full of prosperity, and that they may be successful in whatever careers they may follow in the future. -FRANK JUIDICE - Sf 8 )►-
