THE YEAR LY TATTLER VALEDICTORY I Miss Ida Hanson The time has now come, dear friends to hid you all farewell. Two years ago it was my privilege to say farewell for the Tenth Grade. To some of that class it was a real farewell for only two of them returned to complete the High School course. Others from the public schools of our state have joined our class until we now number six. In the short time that they have been with ns, they have adapted themselves to conditions here and we have all become such dear friends that it is with a feeling of sadness that wc part from each other. The goal for which we have worked for so many years ha; been reached at last; we have completed the work here. Some of us arc planning to continue our education at college while others intend to seek positions in the business world. But, wherever we go. our thoughts will wander hack to this school, to the true friends and to the pleasant times we have had. We will always regard our Alma Mater with affection and gratitude for it has been both home and school to us for many years. We shall owe our success in life to the Wisconsin School for the Deaf for it has been here that we have received most of our knowledge to start us in life To the Hoard of Control: To you. our first parting words arc due. You have done much to make this school what it is. Your efforts have been rewarded, for our school is one of the most l»cautiful in the United States. For everything you have done and for everything you are doing, we express our heartfelt thanks. To our Superintendent: We wish to thank you for the ways in which you have helped us since we have been pupils at this institution. You have shown much in- terest in our work and have often poken such encouraging words to us that they have spurred us on. You have done all in your power to secure advantages for us and we thank von from the bottom of our hearts. W e prav that (' od will reward you. Farewell. To the Teachers: Words fail to express our thanks when wc think of your untiring efforts to help us. No matter what question has arisen, in school or out, you have always been ready to assist us in every way. You have shown us God’s love in such a way that we have come to regard our affliction in a different light than we used to. You seem more like friends than teachers. Some of you have given splerdid chapel talks which have heljtcd us in forming our ideas on right and wrong. For all your help ami advice we thank you ami pray that success will ntterd you in the future years as it lias been in the past. Farewell. To my School mates: Only one more short hour will we among you before we •'hall say farewell. Forever: We do not know, hut we do know that wc shall never again meet as we are now. But, although we shall not see you in person, the memory of you boys and girls at the W. S. D. will always l»e with us. The Class of extends its best wishes for vour success and we urge all of you not to give up until you have completed the work here. To my Classmates: Our school days here are ended. We have entered this chapel for the last time as pupils and arc now about to begin our journey through life. My parting word to each member of the das is to rememlicr and profit by the lessons which you have been taught here. Dear classmates, now that we are about to part let us not say goodbye but “till we meet again.
