THE BATAVIAN-NiNE'r1zEN HUNDRED AND TWDNTY-FOUR gif T J f . mf' Cyl! knit? N J illnur Petra We have reached the completion of four years of study in preparation for the diplomas we are soon Q?j to receive. AS we 3-I'1'iVC HT 'ChiS Yf1i1C'St0ne m our lives there is a mingling of happiness and sorrow. We are happy that we have succeeded, sorry that our high school days are over. Probably we would not be saying too much when we say that life has not in store for us any happier days than those we have spent since that momentous moment when we were Hdignihed an' dubbed freshmen. Who of us will ever forget that thrill of heart which we experienced that first morning when we arrived at High to be enrolled among the ranks of the verdant. How important we felt ourselves only the freshmen of today can fully realize. We thought we knew a great deal more then than now. The strange thing about high school is this: the more one advances and the more knowledge one is supposed to have acquired, the less he thinks he knows. The freshmen of today are wiser in their own conceits than are the seniors. But we can not blame them for this. It is the natural process by which we grow. They will become wiser as they advance. just give them time, for they will need it. But we have had our day and it has been a good one. We ask for no happier moments than these have been. They have been profitable, too. Our teachers may be skeptical, but we believe that we have done fairly well with this wonderful opportunity. Even though we admit that we have not accumulated much knowledge, at the same time we think that we are worthy of our diplomas. We have at least laid the founda- tion. Upon this we shall now begin to build, and, as the structure is being added to from year to year, we shall then appreciate how well the foundation was laid during these four years of our high school life. ,N pp H S., 10- ' Q .
