Address of Welcome To the members of the Hoard of Education, our Superintendent, the Faculty Members, Parents and Friends: We, the class of 1945, wish to welcome you to the seventy-fourth commencement exercises at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf. Since we know that it has been impossible for many of our friends and relatives to come to Delavan because of the very necessary war work, we are very happy to welcome so many of you. We can hardly believe that this is our last day at school and that tomorrow wc shall start a new life. There will be many responsibilities and problems for us to face, but life must go on. We are thankful for all that this school has done for ur». It has given many boys and girls the opportunity of receiving the kind of education that prepares them for the place in life, so that each one can become u useful citizen of our great country. We are in this horrible war with thousands of our fine boys fighting in the Pacific to preserve democracy for us and to bring light to ull peoples of thi3 world. We can be thankful that we are Americans and that we live in America where we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want. Again, the class of 1945 thanks you for your presence tonight so that you may enjoy these commencement exercises with us. —Lois Sjoquist, Clans President 14
