THE YEARLY TATTLER SALUTATORY Miss Della Kittleson Members of the Board nf Control. Superintendent, teachers, classmates, and friends: It is my great pleasure and privilege, this morning, in the hchalf of the class uf 1924 to hid you a hearty welcome to these fifty fourth commencement exercises of the Wisconsin School for tlie Deaf. There is no greater nor sweeter word in the English language than welcome . I wonder how I can best express it in order to make you all feel sure that we mean it in its deepest sense. Somehow. I feel that 1 have no need to say it at all. because, I believe that the very atmosphere of the place and the joyous smiles you see have already shown you how welcome you arc. Our class is six in number, five girls and one boy. Two entered the school when quite young, while the remaining four of us have l cen members of the high schr o1, only. Words are inadequate to express our deep appreciation to all those in charge for the ways wc have been helped, and it L our hope that they may some day see that their interest in us was not in vain. The beautiful natural urrounding of the school, the pleasures afforded, and the close friendships formed here have inspired within us a true love and respect for the place, and I am sure that I voice the sentiment of the class when I say, We arc truly grateful and while wc arc gla l our .school course is finished, yet we are sorry to leave. We have chosen as our motto: They con-quer who believe they can, because we firmly believe th - to he an undeniable fact. So we are starting out with this thought and have promUed ourselves that when hard problems face us we shall meet them with the realization of our motto. Our class colors are white and gold ; white is always the symbol of purity and gold brings to thought real worth. Our flower i the rose, chosen because nf its exquisite beauty and fragrance. To us, this -day is a great occasion, a red-letter dav. one of the brightest spots in all our lives ard bound to live forever in our memories. To our parents and relatives it is an hour of pride and affection; to our teachers and the officers an hour of mingled joy in our success, and regret, we trust, over our parting. I am sure you are grateful, too, that there is an institution in which those whom the world call afflicted can be prepared to take their places in this busy world, and I ask you to share our joy. Again wc bid you welcome.
