Ivy Grafton

We. the class of 1929, are gathered here today on an occasion which will remain in our memories as long as we live.
 Four years ago when we entered Woodstock Academy as freshmen, 1t seemed as though graduation was far distant. but now that it is here at hand it seems as though the time has come only too soon. Our hearts are filled with sorrow when we think of leaving the place where for four years We have shared the same joys, partici. pated in the same things, and worked toward the same goal.
 IL is. therefore, fitting that we should leave a token of our love for the school and the many friends we have found here. This token Is the ivy which has been planted beside this grand gymnasium. The building, it. self, has a meaning more significant than words can express. lt is monu- ment which exemplifies the love and devotion of the alumni of Woodstock Academy toward their Alma Mater. It is our hope that as this ivy spreads over the walls 1t will add something to its beauty
 May this ivy be as an example to be followed by us and by those who follow in our footsteps. As you cling to these walls, so may we cling to the ideals and principles of this institu- tion. As you ornament this building, 80 may the fruits of our ambitions orr nament our lives. You will help us to remember the many benefits which we have received here from our teachers and from our schoolmates. The un-

He also showed himself to be a fine sticker recording a possible two out of five for doubles.
 The Sox found all kinds of difii- ~culty with lefty Callahan's deliveries tn the first and second but successive hits in the third by Daley and Marion with men on bases found four tal- lies on the local register.
 Only sharp watch prevented the New London Club from effeeting the fastest baseball trick in years as the fourth ended Touchette was on sec ond two runners out.

Valedictory Address

Four years ago when we entered this institution, We little realized how soon this day would arrive. 1t seemed far distant and almost out of reach until few weeks ago, when we sud denly realized that our lessons were almost over and that soon our high school education would be finished.
 During these four years we have enjoyed many good times together which will always return to our mem ories during our later years and will make our high school days seem among the happiest days of our lives. Mem ories of social activities and athletic contests in which we have taken part will always come back to us and serve as reminders of the pleasures which we have experienced at Woodstock Academy.
 Our teachers have patiently worked with us. and have helped us to estab- fish in our minds, facts which we must make use of later, and have done their best to make clear to us, princi- pies which will help us to make d success of life. We have striven with might and main for four years to reach this goal. graduation, and not until now have we realized that the time has passed too quickly and that today we are together for almost the last time.
 But we have also the future to think of. Graduation is only com meneement. We must now get returns from the time which we have invested in our high school education, and therein lies the problem which must be solved by each one of us individual ly. Perhaps the greater part of us are in favor of becoming educated further and adding more knowledge to the foundation we have received here. But. whatever course we choose we will all Eo into ii with that good Woodstock Academy spirit and try to come out on top of the heap. Many great men have graduated from this institution and have added glory to the name of their Alma Mater. Let ! it also be our ambition to do the same and make the class of 1929 one which will be remembered. We have worked hard so far to procure our high school education. Let us work just as hard to add to 1t, and let Us enter into our life's career with the same ideals guiding us, the ideals which are ex- pressed in our motto, "Veritas vos lib erabit," "Thc truth will set you free, !" which is the sentiment of our class.

 1929 Woodstock Academy

tiring efforts of the teachers in our behalf and the cooperation and friendship of our schoolmates have been in themselves an education more valuable than we now realize.
 But the time has come when we must say farewell to teachers, stu dents, and lastly to our school. May we think of graduation not as the end of our education, but as one more step toward it's completion.
 So as we depart we mark this step in our progress with ivy to remain here and grow with Woodstock Aead- emy as a living tribute of our love and gratitude for that Alma Mater.
