Mike Greeley, in the address of
the evening* spoke on the subject
“Whit Part Does Education Play
in Life.” The young student asked
- the question, “Why is education so
> vastly important to this nation of
> ours?” He cotttp&Ped V education
i offered in the European nations
> and particularly in Russia. In the
. latter country, the youth are well
[ educated, but are also steeped in
> the Communists brand of propa
t ganda, he stated. He expressed the
[ belief that education in America
■ would prove the most worthwhile
■ in the long run. “We should not
. lose sight of the purpose of educa
tion,” he stated. “Science has its
place, and those who desire,
should be encouraged to pursue it,
but we should not lose sight of
the importance of the whole man
and his development.” Therein, he
thought, the American system
would prove the best.
Charles Johnson, class presi
dent, also spoke on the meaning
of education in the lives of the
graduating seniors. “This is the
last time we will be here as stu
dents” he said, “Even though
many of us will be leaving Kodiak,
it is not the last you will be hear
ing from us. What we have learn
ed here will be carried by us into
our future as we take our place
in the adult world.”
Mrs. Virginia Lee Carr gave the
valedictory address. The Naval
Station Band, under the direction
of Allen S. Bennett rendered
several selections, including El
gar's Pomp and Circtimstance, as
the class marched in to take their
places, and closing with the reces
sional, as the class marched from
the stage.
During the ceremonies, the High
School. principal, James Gray, in
troduced the class and Dr. A.
Holmes Johnson, School Board
President, presented the diplomas.
Several selections were rendered
by the mixed chorus under the
direction of Robert Boko. Chap
lain H.W. Buckingham opened
with the invocation and the
benediction, pronounced by Rev.
Raymond Talbott, concluded the
exercises.
