Consequent-' ly, in acknowledging the very kind Invitation of your Superintendent of Schools to address the Class on this occasion, while It is with sincere appreciation for the compliment paid and the confidence reposed, nevertheless in view of the responsibility assumed, it is truly with a diffident spirit that I Undertake the duty now to be performed. I desire at this time to offer to each member of the Class my most cordial congratulations.

I believe I properly sense and voice the sentiment of the citizenship of Neosho when I say we are indeed proud of the 'graduating class of 1927. Yours Is the largest, and unquestionably as talented, as efficient, and as deserving of praise as any class which has gone this way before you. From among your numbers, we may rlght- -ly expect to choose our leaders, In the not far distant years. Leaders in business, and politics. Leaders in At a meeting of citizens at the Wanda church Tuesday night the the and Sciences; in the professions and various vocations of life.

If chosen to fill these places of responsibility we believe you will acquit yourselves with credit and measure up to our highest expectations. Knowing somewhat of your Joint and several accomplishments, in the public forum, the conservatory, the class room, and upon the athletic field, I gladly give It as my opinion that in proportion to numbers, yours is 'the most promising group of high school graduates, it has ever been my pleasure to know. And with your jaunty gray caps and gowns, by far the best looking. I also desire to offer my congratulations and words of commendation to your parents, those who by their constant efforts and countless self-denials, have made it possible for you to occupy the place of slg- 'nal distinction which is yours tonight, It is to them that the real credit and honor is Justly due.
