Mildred A. LeSuer
There is a word of grief, the
sounding token.
there is a word bejeweled with
bright tears;
The saddest word fond lips
have ever spoken.
A little word that breaks the
chain of years;
It's utterance must ever bring
emotion,
The memories it crystals can
not die,
IT'S known in every land, on
every ocean
"Tis called, 'good-by."
Fellow classmen, we are about
to take off! The engines of our
airplanes are running smooth
ly, and it is up to us, as the
pilots of this squadron, to bring
our ships through safely and
successfully. Picture the
school as a huge aviation field,
with each part of the field
representing classes of our
school. The hangers provided
for the planes are the school
buildings which are run by the
superintendent and the school
board who act as the repres-
entatives of the taxpayer.
Each graduate owes debt of
gratitude to those who have
made his education possible.
Our parents and teachers are the
mechanics who keep the planes
in good condition. For twelve
long years they have worked to
perfect our intellectual mech
anisms and keep them up to
par. At graduation the re-
suits of their labors should be
found in minds of perfect train
ing and adaptability.
These mechanics, have help
ed us over the ground, pushing
at times when we may have
struck a rut, lending a helping
hand to prepare our ships for
the take-off. However, as our
airplanes are only one passeng-
er ships, we will be forced to
leave our faithful mechanics be-
hind. On the rest of Us great
fight we ourselves, shall have
the task of keeping the engines
of our planes in perfect work.
ing order. Nevertheless the
interest of the mechanics will
not die, but each will follow the
flight of our ships as they skim
through the clouds.
Some of us may become dis
couraged and have to make a
forced landing because we have
allowed dirt and dust to gather
inside our engines. Others of
our squadron will run into
fierce storms and be pitched
about. It will take only the
best pilot to overcome such
a handicap. Those who are
weaker, and cannot Withstand
the strain will crash, only the
fittest will survive.
Few will reach that landing
field called success, but those
who do will have reached a
goal where only those ships
that have proven truly capable
may find a haven of rest.
That has been the problem
confronting the school. Its aim
has been to prepare the student
to meet every crisis in the
flight through life.
Have you taken advantage of
the opportunities offered for
training? Are you going to be
a pilot of a ship that comes
through to that goal, success,
or are you going to crash and
lie unnoticed among the ruins?
