Walehictury By HELEN SCIIWARTZJC Parents, Teachers. Friends and Classmates: Today was our dayhtonight is our night, the next to the last of our exist- ence as the Class of Nineteen Sixteen and One Half of the North Yakima High School. It is our night, ours to do with as we choose, and we swell with pride as we realize that we possess this one evening and that ours is the power to give to the minutes and hours their fullest and mightiest meaning rather than their most trivial. For four years this has been the goal of our endeavors and at last, weak- ened in numbers, and in strength, but not in spirit. we have come toetell you all,-llFarewell !U Tonight will be a night which we shall long remember with its pleasant associations and memories, and not the least of our pleasure will arise from the fact that you, our Parents, Teachers and Friends, were present with us on this night on which we speak our public farewell as the Class of Sixteen and One Half. Now that we are on the verge of parting from you, who are all, our friends, and from each of our classmates, we have a mingled feeling of sor- row and of joy. Our sorrow is the sorrow of parting from those friends al- ieady won on our journey up the winding path of life, which we have but begun. Our joy is for the new life we are about to enter beyond the turn in the path, and which we know is full of both sunshine and shadow, for thus Nature in her loving way has provided for the needs of man and of all grow- ing creatures and creeping plants. But as the seasons of the year move on, one going that another may come, our life moves on. This high school life ends the Spring of our exist- ence. We approach the Summer and it is with exultant hearts, though sad, that we come to the crossroads. Before us lie all the Opportunities with wide open arms outstretched to greet us. Before us he the pathways of life out- spread in a. myriad of different directions, and we stand at the cross-roads where lleach must take his path alone and on his own journey till death sooner or later overtakes each traveler, And yet while each may have a different avocation, all are linked together in the one great vocation which is life. It is thus with mingled sensations of joy and sorrow that we enter the real life for which thus far our school life has been but the preparation, and as we stand together at the turn of the road we say with Foss: twenty-two
