In behalf of the class of 1010. I welcome you to the seventieth commencement exercises of this school. We are happy to have you here with us tonight. We shall probably never have a chance to share so great a moment with you again. For many years we have looked forward to this occasion. Tomorrow at this time we will no longer be pupils of this school. This thought brings a feeling of regret. It makes us feel sad to think of leaving the school which has been our home for so long. We shall treasure many happy memories of the years spent here, and friends we have made. At times the daily routine seemed irksome to us. but now we are beginning to realize how pleasant our school days have been. Tomorrow begins a new life for us. There will be many responsibilities and problems for us to face. In Edward Bok’s book. “A Dutch Boy Fifty Years After.” he tells us that an obstacle is not something to be afraid of. but only a difficulty to be overcome.” 1 hope we may remember these words after we have left school. We are thankful for this school which offers so many deaf boys and girls an education, and prepares them to take their places in life. We are glad that our parents and relatives urged us to continue here, believing “that a thing begun must be carried to a finish. And last of all. we are glad that we are living in America, where we have as good a chance as anyone else to be successful. Whether we achieve success or not depends upon ourselves. Give to the world the best that you have. And the best will come back to you.” Again we thank you for coming here tonight to enjoy these exercises with us. RUTH A. CATARACT Class President Interpreter
