★ ★ • ★ ★ ★ ★ REAL AMERICAN PATRIOT THESE ARE BEST PERSONIFIED IN THE CHARACTER OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Lincoln was a man who harbored no personal prejudice regardless of race or creed. He labored for the good of humanity and gave his life that all man- kind might be free and equal. His life was well engraved with acts of broth- erhood, respectfulness, honesty, freedom, loyalty, love, affection, righteous- ness, and service. He maintained an all-out attitude for the good of the Union and Nation and upheld every democratic ideal and principle upon which our government was founded. He finished his course and kept his faith until the very end.

For awhile it seemed like the same old story, No school until ? ? By the middle of October, we were again in the swing of things—glad to be back in Ferndale High! We couldn't omit saying something about the public address system. That unforgettable, Good afternoon, faculty and students of Ferndale High.

MENTALLY ....................... page 19 Do you remember the day you walked sheepishly into the unknown world enclosed within the walls of Ferndale High? You were a youngster in knee trousers or in short dresses. By now, you are aware that things have changed —that you have grown up. You now find yourself outstanding. INDIVIDUALLY .................... page 35 Did you watch that smile break over the face of some brawny fellow as he heard himself mentioned as one of the traveling squad? PHYSICALLY ...................... page 51 Don't forget those items we put on: the Senior Play, the Reception, the dances, or the Spring Concert. It was both fun and hard work planning our monthly newspaper and the school annual. For each person, however, it providing something worthwhile. SOCIALLY ..............................page 69 These people must report to detention tonight! A chuckle went round the room when someone pulled a boner. Candy bars, wax paper, dances, students to the office, admit slips, lost and found articles, all meant something in the life of a student. SCHOOL PATTER ...................... page 76
