Staring me as in the face was a newspaper which was headed: v, W0 Q THE ADRIAN MIDNIGHT MOON JUNE 9, 1936 HYRTLE FEEMAX, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Thinking that perhaps I could find out something of my old High School classmates, whom I had not seen since graduation some fifteen years ago, I started to digest its contents. l'Get Out and Sweat a Little for Sweet is the main heading.

4 v The SENIOR SICKLE 1921 f 'tLet us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate: Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. - Our journey along the road of life has been cheered thus far by the sweet companionship of those who are travelling in the same direction. Under the supervision of the High School Faculty we have climbed the hill of knowledge thus far hand in hand, cheered by the thought that we were all bound for the same goal, but now that we have reached the first height we find that our paths diverge. Each must take up his knapsack and laboriously pursue his journey in other company. For some the new route will extend through college or university, for others through the marts of trade. Some will reach their goal by way of the workshop and forge, others by way of the farm. And as we bid our classmates farewell we wish to remind them that native ability and hard work are bound to win success.
