Section I Article 1: To our parents we bequeath the love and appreciation for their trying to see us through school life. Article 2: To A.C.H.S., we leave our excellent example as students. Section 11 Article 1 : To the Junior Class we bestow our well-earned treasures. Some of these are the senior dignity, unusual wit, splendid grades, and the privilege of being “Pets” of the school. May the juniors use these to their and others advantage. Article 2: To the Sophomore Class, who soon will be Juniors, we bequeath all the mistakes we have made. We learned much by these mistakes. We leave all the paper, chewed-up pencils and chewing gum found in our desks and behind the radiators. Article 3: To the Freshman Class who will soon be Sophomores we leave the art of being handsome and beautiful so they will be able to get “hooked” in the years to come.

But joy and trust in our Supreme Maker: This is Life — this is really living. “Today is the beginning of the rest of your life.” Each day, being given you by God to use as you will, Can be wasted or used for good. Is all you have done today worth exchanging A day of your life for it? — for Time charges A very precious price — your LIFE. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever leaving in its place a memory And the future, a vision of hope. ■ -t ...I
