VALEDICTORY By Orlic Smith The great. step, that wt , the Class of 1020. have striven for in our school lives, has been completed. Since our labor has been crowned with victory, we have come here to nay farewell to those who have made thiB possible and to those who have opened for u. the doors to greater opportunities and to higher ideals. The events of this day and of previous days of our school life will ulwuys hold a foremost place in our memories. Although we do not fully realize now what this school has meant to us. we truly believe that we shall look buck with longing to our school days, and shall really comprehend all that they have done for us. We cannot take leave of these familiar walls umi of our many true friends without giving some attention to the debt of gratitude that we owe to the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, to those who have helped and to those who are helping to make it better fit its purpose, and to those who have given us intellectual and moral trnining. When we look back on the small part of our lives that has passed, we realize, to a smull extent, what this school has meant to us, but 1 doubt if any of us understands what his condition might have been if he had not had the splendid opportunity of attending a school such ns this. To nearly all of us, the education that we huve obtained here will be the one great factor of our lives, and we shall always be in debt to W. S. P. for any success that may be ours. May our thoughts mingled with gratitude and affection return to our Alma Mater. To the Board of Control: We wish to express our sincere thunks to those who have given much thought to making the School for the Deaf efficient so that we, who have not been able to be instructed in Wisconsin's public schools, might huve the advantage of education received by other children in the state. To Our Superintendent: To you, sir, with whom we have been person- ally associated for so long, from whom we have learned some of the greatest lessons in life, promptness and obedience, and to you, whom we have always respected and admired os a father, we extend our grutitude for all the aid and advice that you have given us. To Our Teachers: We have spent many years of our lives under your training. Now that we are about to be graduated from this high school course some of us would like to remain a longer time, but, us this Is not possible, in the name of the class of 1921 of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, whom I am proud tn represent, I bid you farewell with the hope that your memory of us will he as pleasant as ours will be of you. Fellow Student and Friends: We are passing out of high school life into active citizenship today. Wc feel thnt each one of us has some speciul work awaiting him in his own community. Whatever helps to mnkc the nation better and nobler, whatever helps to bring the land to a higher standard of thought and life, or in other words, anything that helps to make this nation better to live in. has been brought about through great effort. Victory has rewarded the laborer to some extent. Let us remember thnt whatever elevates the individual, elevates, in some measure, the community in which he lives, so that it is the duty of everyone to lead the best kind of life that his community might be the better for his having lived. Fellow Clasimatci: To you the finnl words must be addressed. Today our minds are under the spell of two great forces, memory and hope. When we refer to memory, we mean what has passed. When wc speak of hope, we refer to the great beyond. Each one has doubt of his own ability to cope with the future, but, whatever we may undertake, let us strive to do our best and always remember our class motto, “No victory without labor.
