Other honor students in order of ranking are Ashley Nunn and Wilbert Jones. The Valedictorian Speaks! In some editorial writings, Charles D'ckens said long ago, “We do nol believe in stupidity as a common, natural gift." There may have been moments in the past four years when our instructors disagreed with Dick ens, but we hope those moments were not too frequent. Taking feveiyihing into Lonoideration, wc feel that our periods of intelli gence do, in a slight degree, out number our spells of stupidity. This is due, to the painstaking efforts and earnest admonitions of our faculty advisers. If we are not to be “men and women of polite learning and a liberal education,’’ the fault will lie in us for, to-night, as we as sembled here for the last time, we realize more fully than ever before the advantages that have been ours and the way in which the rugged path of higher learn ing has been smoothed for our stumbling feet. Members of the board of edu cation: On behalf of the class of 1984, I extend our heartfelt thanks for the educational privil eges you have made possible for us to enjoy. If, in the years to come, we prove to be citizens worthy of cur great country, re member us as only a few of the many in whose early years you laid a foundation of learning, aspiration, and high ideals. To our principal, and members of the faculty; Words are sadly inadequate to convey our emo tions. Since the day we came to you, eager, ignorant, and just a trifle frightened, you have giv en us liberally of your time, experience, and wisdom. You have borne patiently with our youthful follies and encouraged whatever latent ability you may have discerned in us. You have taught us so skillfully that we have, with Milton, “beheld the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delight ful studies.” Because of you, we shall leave high school and enter the busy strife of the everyday world with the best possible preparation; namely, a sense of social obliga tion, an appreciation of the rights of others and of our relation to the world about us. There is no reward that can adequately compensate teachers for the good they do, but we hope that the grateful thanks of their students may in slight measure show appreciation and understanding. To you, our in structors, we can only say, para phrasing the famous words of WrxKcfor “Tf -irnii wnrk upon marble, it will perish; if you work upon brass, time will efface it; if you rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if you work upon immortal minds, if you imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of your fellow men, you engrave on those tablets onm.pthing f'naf Will bright*=n lo all eternity.” "GlasGinules of the undergi'adu ate classes, we part from you regretfully. We hope you will miss us sometimes, in the halls and on the campus. You who are about to become Seniors and take our empty places m.ust uphold the traditions of the Senior class of 1964. During our days here, we have striven so to conduct ourselves that our Alma Mater shall have benefited in some slight degree by our stay. Although we may have fallen far short of our attempted goal, at least we have tried; and it is more praiseworthy to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. Of course you will not pro*^it by our mistakes, and, eaually of course, you will not heed our advice, so we shall not offer you any. Fellow members of the class of 1965: At least we have arrived at the goal, which four years affo seemed so immeasurably distant. I wonder if we do not feel a little as we did when we entered high school, four years apo, eager and ignorant, and just a trifle frightened. And this time we have reason for such feeling. We entered here, assured of kindly, expert guidance. We leave to enter the vast school of experience in the workaday world, with no guide but our own intelligence and no teacher save the experience we are about to acquire. May we fare as well in the future as we have fared during our high school years. Having shared one another’s joys and sorrows, successes and failures for so long, it is hard to say goodbye. Our mutual companionship has been an in spiration and an incentive, which we shall miss in the future. Let us then, in its place, keep happy memories of our years together, of the ideals toward the realiza tion of which we aspire, and of our high school, of whose noble teachings we would prove ijrnrtViT?

Davis, Minister of Durham, North Carolina, will deliver the BaccaLaureate sermon here Sun day, May 31, at 5:00 p.m. for the religious service of the Lin coln School Commencement ac tivities. Graduation exercises for the Fifthteenth Annual Commence ment of Lincoln High will be June 2, 1964 at 8:00 p.m. in the school gymlorium. This program will be a Symposium entitled “A Formula for Education.” Dr. Davis was born in Pleasant Hill, North Carolina. He receiv ed his A.B. degree from Andover Newton, theological school, Ne- ton-cenre. Massachusetts, in 1949 and the Ph.D. degree in Psy chology of Religion at Boston University Graduate vSehool in 1953. He wrote his dissertation on “A Psychological Investiga tion of the Motivational Needs and their Gratification in the Father Devine Movement.” He served in the United States Army for three and one-half years Parents Welcomed By Saliitatorian To Exercises We, the graduating class of the Lincoln Jr. and Sr. High School, are proud and happy to welcome you tonight. Our gradu ating exercise would be incom plete 'without your presence and our parting from the school would be sad without your good wishes. Centuries ago, the great Diog enes said, “The foundation of every 3tatp ic edff.'^tlon of its youth.” Tonight, having suc cessfully completed the courses assigned to us by our wise coun selors, we feel that we are now a small part of the foundation of the State of North Carolina. The work of our school year is com pleted, but our education will be continued so long as we live. The assurance of your good wishes for our future success means much to us. We know you have followed our troubles and our triumphs during our school years with sincere interest and that you are a sharer in our happiness to-night. Your friend ship has been an inspiration and a comfort to us in the past, and we are relying upon it for aid in the future. We feel that there is another guest present tonight. This un seen guest is Opportunity. Our future rests with him. It is often stated that Opportunity knocks but once at every man’s door. Maybe in our present time he will not knock but use the tele phone. And how tragic if we failed to recognize his voice when said “hello.” Many careers have come to night, battles lost, and chances lost, all because the prolagonist failed to recognize Opportunity when he came. Our time has been spent dur ing the past four years in pre paring for this conflict, in strengthening ourselves with wise counsel, praiseworthy ideas, per severance, and knowledge. We realize that the business of mak ing a name and a livelihood for ourselves is not easy, that in life’s vast arena the struggle is fierce and unceasing, and that it will require all our strength aid ability. We shall, however, enter the arena with heads high and start upon adventures brave and. new, with hearts staunch and fearless. We shall act to-morrow what we learn today. We welcome you tonight, friends of the class of 1964. And as our preparation for the con flict is ended, we ask for your good wishes, your joy if we suc ceed, and your sympathy if we all fail—the syrrlpathy which fill us with determination to try again and to keep on trying until (1942-46 including the E.T.O.) overseas.
