The progress of a school is determined, in the largest part, by the students themselves. Their activities are the activities of the school; their life, the school's. Their efforts have been directed towards the achievement of better health, inter-racial relations, and international understanding —the most important factors in the approach to world peace. Their laughter brightens the days as they pass; even now we hear the echo of that laughter in the corridors of our memories. As each day passes, new levels are reached, new heights of living and practical knowledge, vital to the progress of our school.

Moving Forward On January 30, we crossed the arch from childhood to adulthood, the bridge of graduation from high school. Now that we have reached this end, we realize that the pleasure lay in driving toward it and not in crossing it. Our commencement program consisted of discussions on education in Europe, in the United States, and in Asia by Eva Venske, valedictorian; Robert Fln-dorff, salutatorian; and James Lindholm. Instrumental solos and a vocal ensemble lent variety to the program. During its twenty-five years of democratic practices, our school has helped its students to become the good citizens of tomorrow. Democracy in the class room is exemplified in the work of our advisers, Mr. Hamrin, Miss Bennett, and Mrs. Mickelsen, who realized that there were valuable, latent ideas and abilities within us which they helped to maturity by their patience and understanding.
