CLASS DAY IIUMMITTEE 1941-A E. John Lepore, Chairman Howard Besnia Matilda Kersis Paul Puchek Elizabeth Gallagher John Moriarty Angelo Sotiropoulos Everett Holmes Anna Palermo Sidney Snegg Richard Whelan Ann Woods ADDRESS UF WELIIUME Philip S. Koki, President, 194-1-A 2. Mr. Andrews, members of the faculty, parents, and friends: The Class of 194-1-A extends to you a most cordial welcome. Time, that never onward flowing of the indivisible now, has carried us to the end of another phase of life. As we pause today upon the dividing ground between two eras in our lives and look back over the varied experiences of our high school life with its buoyancy and its pleasures, its rivalries and ambitions, its duties and generous friend- ships, we can not avoid a feeling of sadness that comes with the thought of parting. But the hours of the Present are golden, and the recollection of the happy days that we have spent together will ever brighten our pathway as we press on confidently and hopefully into the Future. It is a war-torn, uncertain and a complex world which confronts the youth of today, a world which seems to us full of vicissitudes and bewilderment. Con- sequently, as we enter upon the greater field of life which lies stretched out before us, our steps, at first, will seem, perhaps, a little unsteady. But remem- bering that our equipment is good, our purpose strong, let us meet our worldly battles face to faceg for it is true that a nation looks to her schools for men and women who will raise the world a step nearer to the long sought after Utopia. Our teachers and our principal, Mr. Andrews, to whom we one and all feel so deeply and eternally grateful, we shall always remember in the pouring forth of our expressions of gratitude, and certainly our parents shall never be forgotten in the returning of thanks for the privileges they have for so long placed freely at our disposal, privileges which were purchased for us at the cost of sacrifices on their part. Only a life of highest endeavor can ever repay the debt we owe to our teachers, our principal, and our parents. And so, dear parents and friends, we are indeed proud to speak the words that carry with them a cordial and a grateful welcome. i243
