SALUTATORY By Byno Coll Member of the Board of Control. Superintendent. Teachers, Classmates and Friends: In behalf of the class of 1031, I wish to extend to you all u most cordial welcome to those sixty-first commencement exercises of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf. The word 'welcome,' i« the proper word but when I want to let you know how we appreciate your coming and how happy we are to have you all with us tonight, 1 find it lacks depth of meaning. I feel us Tennyson must have felt when he wrote. I would that my lipr- could utter The thoughts that arise in me. However, my greeting in not wanting in sincerity and should my words seem to halt. I feel that what I have left unsaid is expressed by the smiling faces of my classmates. This day is n great occasion In our lives and having our relatives and friends here to share it with un makes Us very happy, for pleasures shared are thereby doubled. Two of the members of our class entered this school as small children and had the advantage of receiving all of their training here. Some of their classmates were compelled to leave school for various reasons but their places were filled by others who entered within the last five yours, several of whom feel a deep regret that they did not come sooner. Wc wish to express our appreciation to the teachers and others responsible for the pleasant ami profitable year we have spent here. It is our hope that they may some day see that their interest in u was not in vain. Early in the year wo chose the carnation for our claw flower. From its humble origin as a clove pink in an old fashioned garden it has been developed into a flower of rare beauty with n variety of colors and murkiiigs. So may we from our modest beginning rise to bigger and better thing: . Our cin colors us you may already have noticed, are red and white. The white stands for truth and purity of thought and word. The red stands for Jove and the red horizon that comes before u good day. For our cln motto we have chosen Climb though the rocks be rugged. because we realize that although our pathway may not ulways he one of ease, we must not become discouraged hut ever struggle onward and upward, day by day coming closer to our goal. Though we rejoice that our course of study is completed, wc And that our Joy is not unmixed with sorrow. Leaving the old school under the maples, thnt has been a home for us during our stay here, knowing thnt we shall never return n students, is not easy. We do not know what lies ahead of us. but we shall climb bravely and unofrnid, the better fitted for our journey by the training we hove ‘received here. Again wc- bid you welcome.
