Klamath Falls attorney, delivered the commence ment address, "WTiat the Years Teach,” which was well received by an audience of 1000. which overflowed the auditorium. Groes beck stressed the thought that one does not learn from books alone, but that experience is the major part of education. “A man always has the privilege of changing his mind,” declared Groesbeck Joan Whitmore, senior girl with the highest grade average, gave an address, "And We'll Want to Be Happy,” which was so well presented that it drew favorable mention by the commencement speaker Frank King delivered the valedictorian speech and chose as his topic, "Intellectual, Industrial and Moral Education.” Theo J. Norby, city school sup erintendent, introduced George A. Briscoe who was paid a standing tribute for his many years service in Ashland. Briscoe, who has known most of the graduates since they first entered school, reminisced and advised the new alumnus they were acquiring one of the most important things in their lives- a high school diploma. "Without that sheepskin," said Briscoe, “you would not be ad mitted to a college or university: not even Hitler with all his mech anized forces, with all his guns, could open the doors for you.” The high school orchestra under the direction of Ward V.
