-1- THE AMETHYST - Senior President's Message The hour of parting is nigh, and we are severed from relations with Deering High School, relation- ships which have served to bring about fine accom- plishments, lasting friendships, and never fading memories. Vllith our teachers and our principal, lVIr. William E. VVing, we have contracted a debt which is unre- deemable. They have patiently devoted to our wel- fare the best of their training and experience, so that RICIIARD J- QUINN we in turn might go forth onto life's broad highway better equipped to understand the fundamentals of living life more completely. A poet once asked Is not true leisure one with true toil? As a result of pres- ent economic conditions, the graduate of today enters a world of rapidly chang- ing conditions. He has available an unusual amount of leisure time, and is ex- pected to dispose of this time in a way which is advantageous and beneficial to his own personal welfare. lVe, the class of 1934, may easily achieve these expectations by applying the training we have received at Deering. In parting, let us always remember and practice the ideals of life taught to us in Deering. Let us so live that nothing we may do will ever reflect adversely on the school which has done so much to train us for our lifeis work. Let us all show our love for Deering by continually striving for the greatest accomplishments and for positions of leadership in whatever We undertake. In playing the game of life, let us not over-emphasize the score but play the game with all the persistency of true sportsmen. E201
