hold onto your -dreams for success! LESLIE VAN HORNE . . . Aside from acquiring knowledge, high school prepares one for the world. Usually graduates don't go to college, thus the pur- pose of high school is the development of person- ality. This enables a person to get along with man- kind in the world. When a graduate has not learned the laws of life, he has missed the purpose of high school. DEAN VARNER . . . I am going to work on the farm until I can get work somewhere else. What I would like to do most is drive a truckp later mak- ing a tour through some of the states of the United States. DORIS WARING . . . Graduation is the cause of many separations and it brings about many fare- wells. I will miss the associations with the fellow- students. To leave them will mean that I am going to lose many hours happily spent with them. BENIAMIN WACKER . . . I have acquired much from high school. It is true, I could not replace the President of this United States but I have learned the fundamental principles of living. It is my belief that every citizen should have knowledge of these principles in order that Democracy may flourish. ROBERT WARSING . . . I believe I'll miss my friends the most alter graduation. I'll miss the good times we had in the morning and at dinner time. Many of them I'll never see again and some I'll see only once in awhile. BERNICE WRIGHT . . . During my high school years the Girl Reserves have interested me very much. Having had an active part in this activity taught me how to assume responsibilities and get along with other girls, younger and older than myself. CHARLES ZIMMERMAN . . . I have gained much from high school. One of the most important things I have learned is how to get along with people. I have learned the value of good sportsmanship, something that is very much needed today and that many people lack. Other things were also gained. DARL YOUNKER . . . Sewing and cooking are my delights. I have learned many things 'in Home Economics that make a finished garment look less homemade. Experimenting with foods is something we can do every day. If you don't believe try it some time. ROBERT THOMAS . . . Bob has not been with us since the first part of the year. He is now working at the Lorain Steel Company. SENIOR CLASS . . . hailed from Ferndale, Riverside, Lorain, Middle Taylor and lack- son Townships as small, shy, green Freshies . . . lost in the fog for quite awhile . . . by the end of our Sophomore year had taken quite a lead in school affairs . . . every year became merrier through in- creased enthusiasm and participation in all the school activities .... At last, Iuniors . . . how we waited for our class rings and the Iunior Prom! . . . but we became a care- free, fun-loving group . . . now we are the happy-go-lucky Seniors . . . presented Kind Lady after many weeks of practice . . . posed nervously in our best clothes for in- dividual senior pictures . . . waited patiently for an invitation to the Iunior Prom from the favorite one . . . stuffed ourselves with Iunior candy bars . . . finally reached our expectation-graduation . . . then came the final triumph-diplomas, but still we hate to say so long to all our many friends and happy memories behind us in good ol' Ferndale! Three cheers for our Alma Mater! IN TRODUCING OUR OFFICERS President ............................ William Bruce Vice-Presldent ..........,......... Iack Hufman Secretary ................
