Graduation Night Program SALUTATORY OUR HERITAGE rHE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Parents, Teachers, Members of the Board of Education, and Friends. On behalf of the Class of 1953, I would like to welcome you here to our Commencement exercises. We want to thank you for everything you have done, for we know without your help and guidance we would net be graduating tonight. It is usually agreed that people in America have a better chance to succeed in their individual interests than in any other country in the world. Why? Because we have inherited from our forefathers such traits as love of democracy, ingenuity, and initiative. For example in 1620, Plymouth, one of the early colonies of our land, was founded by men and women who loved this freedom so much that they crossed the sea and struggled with the hardships of the wilderness rather than live in old England under religious and civil laws which deprived them of their liberty. Thus it is no wonder that by the end of the Colonial period, 1763, we had thirteen, firmly-established colonies, all built with an inherent love cf liberty. Where else, but in America, could cne have inherited such great love and respect for democracy? Where else but in the American colonies had people of all stations in life worked and lived together? As Dr. Reuben P. Halleck has written, Let us not forget the Cambridge University graduate, the cooper, cloth-maker, printer, and blacksmith had the initiative to set out for the New World, the ingenuity to deal with its varied ex igencies, and the democratic spirit that enabled them to work side by side. Another important reason for cur progress in the democratic ways of life was that we had outstanding men such as George Washington, who has been called The noblest figure that ever stood in the forefront of a nation ' s life. Also there were Franklin, Jefferson, John Adam ' , Madison, and a host of others, and finally Abraham Lincoln who tried so hard to show that democracy can endure even through the trials of a great civil war, and whose famous words from the Gettysburg Address have been an inspiration ever since: That that Government cf the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. All of these men and many others fought for us, so that today we may enjoy such great rights as freedom of speech, of the press, cf race and creed. We also inherited from cur forefathers another important trait or ingenuity. Many inventions as the telephone, the sewing machine, the telescope and the airplane have been the result of this Ameri-an characteristic cf ingenuity or resourcefulness. We realize that if it had not been for the ingenu : ty of Alexander Bell, the Wright Brothers and Isaac Singer and many ethers, we would net have had the great industrial centers that we have today.
