CDW boas Parents, teachers, fellow pupils, and friends. Having been given the honor of being President of the graduating class, it is my humble privilege and pleasure to extend a cordial welcome to you to these class day exercises. We sincerely hope you will enjoy these outstanding events which we have undergone in our four carefree years in this higher school of learning. Doubtless the eyes of every member in this graduating class have been directed toward these last, most eventful days. Although they previously were looked to with a cheery, “at-long-last’” feeling, the thoughts of the termination of our many happy times together arouses a feeling of sadness in the hearts of us all. However sad as we may feel, we must acquiesce in this unescapable leaf in our life book and, try, as best we are able, to make these days ones we shall never want to forget. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of my classmates, to express our deepest gratitude to the members of the faculty for their thought- fulness and consideration. ‘There have, I know, been many times when their patience and understanding have been greatly tried by us students. Theit’s has been the highest example of leadership and virtue — an example we pupils will endlessly strive to attain. Lastly, but perhaps most of ali, I wish to thank, from the bottom of my heart, my classmates — for the friendship and loyalty any human would be proud to possess. Also, I extend my thanks to them for the help and respect they have shown me in the years I served as president. “Thanks should also be extended to the rest of the student body, because without them many enjoyable school activities would not have been possible. At this time you are invited to join us as we share some of the memories which will last most of all in our hearts and minds. Courtland Palmer ZA

CouRTLAND Myers PALMER “There is only one proof of ability, action.” “Court” 20 October 8 Being class president two out of four years has caused our Courtland to have his hands full most of the time. He has estab- lished himself as quite an actor by playing the leading man, or should I say leading lady in both of our plays. He looked very attractive in those skirts. Also, it has been a mystery as to what he wore under his blouse in LET ME OUT OF HERE. Wow, what a figure! Besides all this, Court is con- sidered a lady’s man by the op- posite sex. He really sends the young gals with his polite man- nerisms and those blushing ears.
