 * Special Thanks to Jack Patten for sharing his speech with me*

Presentation of 2015 Class gift  Tracing history is such an important part of Westerly High School and our Westerly community. We have had roots in this area since 1669 when Newporters John Babcock and Mary Lawton came in a canoe and settled here.
 * Jack Patten, President, Class 2015

**The Class of 2015 would like to present our class gifts. **

 Knowing that the Class of 1965 was going to be here for their 50th reunion, it made sense to follow the tradition of the gift they have just given to Westerly High School. Partnering with the idea of a “living time capsule show case” will bind us forever as Westerly High School alumni.

 Our gift tonight is a $3,000 check to purchase the first time capsule showcase. It is a little smaller than the others, and will be installed in late August. Classmates, please send memorabilia from the next chapter in your life to Mrs. Deion and Mrs. Smith who will begin filling our showcase for September.

 Following the tradition set by the Class of 2013, who purchased most of the banners we see on our quad tonight, the outgoing senior class has purchased a new banner for the incoming freshman Class of 2019. This will proudly be displayed in what we call, “The Scholars Walk”, and will advance one pole closer to the front of Westerly High School each year.

 As your Class President, I would like you to join me in turning your tassels. We are now officially alumni of Westerly High School. ||
