18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM ADDRESS OK WELCOME Members of the Board of Education, Faculty, Parents, Undergraduates, and Friends:— It is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome you here tonight to witness our class night exercises. As the year of 1935 unrolls, we realize that the two most important events of the year are, namely, the Tercentennial Commemoration of the founding of the state of Connecticut, and this, the graduation of the most noble-minded and illustrious group of intellects that ever entered the stately portals of the Windsor Locks High School. As members of the Class of 1935 we wish to express our most sincere thanks to all those who have encouraged and aided us in completing our high school courses and in attaining this goal. Although our four years in high school have meant hard work, we have formed many friendships which we trust will be lasting and which will bring back pleasant memories in the years to come. This year we are celebrating not only the 300th anniversary of the founding of our state, but also the tercentenary of secondary education in the founding of the old Boston Latin School in 1635, only fifteen short years after the landing of the Pilgrims. From a small beginning with one in¬ structor and a handful of students has grown the splendid service now provided for more than 6,000,000 young Americans by 26,000 public and private high schools. Tonight, we shall attempt to show you in a few short sketches, the life in the early schools, that of the present day, and also what the schools will be in the future. We hope you will enjoy this type of program as much as you have appreciated those of other years. Frank Merrigan, ’35.

Hence, for your journey far, my gift is wealth More treasured than gold, I bring you health.” In the Windsor Locks High School we have endeavored along with the progression of our studies to keep health an important factor. There are still to be carried out many health suggestions which can benefit the mind as well as the body. Although our school is deprived of a gymnasium and much athletic equipment, we hope to do more in the future toward upholding a worthy Health Program. “Nor love, nor honor, wealth nor power, Can give the heart a cheerful hour When health is lost. Be timely wise; With health all taste of pleasure flies.” Mildred Sfreddo, ’35.
