SALUTATORY Dr. Peach, Superintendent Stack pole, Principal Couture, Members of the School Board, Members of the Faculty, Fellow Students, Parents and Friends: In behalf of my classmates, I welcome you to our Commencement exercises with much joy, knowing that it is to you as well as to us, a cause for happiness. We are glad to have reached this milestone safely on the Highway of Life, and we arc equally sure that you too, are pleased that we have come this far along the Road of Knowledge. We realize that to you especially, it is a time of both relief and satisfaction, because you alone know' how many times we should have strayed from the right route or stalled by the roadside, if we had not .been encouraged and sometimes forced to proceed. Sometimes it has seemed a long w'ay ahead but now we have reached our goal. We now feel that w'e are getting a substantial reward for the years we have spent in study. We are pleased that you are w'ith us now to enjoy our victory. There has been cooperation all along the way between the graduates who face you today and the audience that faces the graduates. From the beginning in Grade I, up to our exalted position at the pres- ent time, you have not been lacking in friendship, sympathy, and helpfulness. After tonight, our paths will branch out from this community where we have been born and raised. We know that your interest and friend- ship are two factors that we shall always have with us. We think it was Addison who said, What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul.” It needs no elaborate and long- strung argument to prove the truth of this asser- tion. It is one of the unalterable and unassailable truths of life. No one dare deny it, and in fact no one wishes to deny it. Evidences thereof stand around as numerous as the sands on the seashore, not only in the environment of Winooski High School but everywhere in our beloved America. Everywhere beneath the folds of the unparalleled American flag, education may be won by the most humble and lowly. The only requirements are a desire for its broadening influence and a constant and systematic attempt to secure them. With these requirements we have compiled and therefore we stand before you tonight The graduating class of 1945 of Winooski High School.” We ask from you your earnest wishes and Godspeed. Again we offer you our heartiest welcome, know- ing that you have had a considerable part in this —our Commencement. Gloria Chrystowski. - 9 -
