THE COVINGTON NEWS
Valedictory
Friends and Classmates:
Another year of our school life
is finished and most of us have
come together tonight for the last
time. Whether we go or stay, we
shall all find abundant cause to
remember our school with grati
tude. Day after day, we have as
sem bled here, and the associations
which cluster ’round this place
can never be forgotten. They will
g 0 w ith us through life and form
an important part in the individ
ua ^ experience of each one of us.
Let us magnify the free public
sc hools of our land. They were
f ounc [ed in the idealism of our
pioneering forefathers, recognized
everywhere as the chief servant

choicest gift to civilization; the
b]ood brother of the home; the
companion of the church; and the
foundation of an efficient demo
C ratic state; a chief concern of
every citizen; the birthright of
every child and the hope of
better tomorrow,

a pp re ciation for the advantages it
bas gi ve n us. We have learned the
value of an education and we
k n0 w that a trained mind is the
mos t powerful treasure we can
possess.
Education seeks to give a
f ord development, and to send
forth students upright in charac

and a]ert and trained in mind. We
are proud that W e are graduating
f rom a school that has given
this training, that we may give to
[jf e t he combined efforts of heart,
hands, and head.
The purpose of education is to
prepare individuals for complete

spiritually. It is wonderful to
think that we are a part of this
great world in which we are liv
ing and that we may fit ourselves
for a share in its work, achieving
some degree of success. Let us
remember that success lies not in !
material things but in how much
we learn and how much good we

Continued growth in popularity
during the coming summer is fore
cast for cotton seersucker suits by
the National Cotton Council. Term
ed the coolest suits available for
summer wear, seersuckers during
recent years have been growing in
popularity in the East and Middle
West. Recent innovation is the
matching seersucker tie to go with
the suit. In the women’s wear field,
seersuckers in variety of colors
are being used for both evening
and informal wear.

and understanding. May we bring
credit upon your training,
We thank you, our teachers for

but empty forms, but long after
we are gone and probably forgot

place in our hearts,
Friends of the undergraduate
classes—tonight, we leave you and
we leave the school in your care,
You will walk these halls and
paths when we have wandered
away. You will have the quaint
experiences of class room and
campus such as we ha e had. We
are glad that we leave frineds
here wh olove our school and will
stand up stoutly for her when we
are gone.
We know that the end has come
and the good-byes have not been
said, for we are closer together
tonight than ever before.
Somehow, everything in school
life tends to make classmates love
each other. Although there were
sorrows, there were always kind
words to make us forget them.
Our little band has strolled along
a pleasant way together, but to
night ' r e have reached a dell
where this road stops rnd others
begin.
And now, fellow students, the
class of 1940 will soon separate—
never again to be united in these
class rooms. May prosperity and
happiness attend both teachers
nd pupils in their future careers.
Good-bye and from heart to
heart—as we wait this moment
let there be breathed r. silent ,i
last good-bye.
