Some go upward and onward To the pinnacles of fame, While others go down and clown To l shame. But the Class of 1921- Watch us, if you dare, As step by step to victory We climb to the end of the stairs. We are proud of our class And we have a right to be, For we have worked long, and hard To get this far, you see. Look at the Valedictorian And our Class president. They have Worked so long Their shoulders are bent. To you it has been a sacrifice For us to come each year, And now we crave a blessing From parents, to us, so dear. We've enjoyed our schooldays, Each and everyone of them, And how it grieves our hearts To say goodbye to them. With Geometry and English We had an awful timeg But now those days are over And we are feeling fine. To this class of young men, Some of you will rise, To doctors, lawyers and statesmen, lllen who are capable and wise. And what e'er your course of life, As you go from this house tonigh Be patient, kind, and iorbearing, Stand up for truth and right. And to the winsome young ladies ts Ot' this big and wonderful class, Your knowledge, beauty and grace Can never be surpassed. And sometimes in the future We boys will be seeking a wife, So, girls, ,iave mercy on us, And be our partners for life. And in our going MARVIN L. PE'l'I'Y Give honor to our teachers, Who stood by our sides. We conquered all difficulties With you as our guides. And we want you to know You have been faithful and true, And we are very, very sorry When we have troubled you, To the Board and the Faculty, With our friends that are so dear, We thank each and all of you For your honored presence here. VVe deem it an honor, a blessing, To have you here tonight, As we start out upon life's journey With hearts so happy and light. Let us not forget our parents, Who shared our sorrows and joys. To them is due the highest tribute From all these girls and boys. Others will take our place. 4 32.4, 1 .11 So yesterday, today, and tomorrow Is only the human race. So let this be our motto, f'Not on the heights, but climbing, And we will be successful As thru this life we're winding. OSCAR J.

Upon this island dwells a lonely native. No one knows of his origin or how he exists, but there he makes his home and sees no one but the passengers and crew of the one South American vessel that touches there once iii- :sag , Z.: f I 1. - T7 ' vi at . gina ' .ilu 'WJ . l xx' ' .

He is no mystic or god, but mortal man with a wonderful ability to learn things and I -u s e store them away.

And so one year I was one of these, and when we 2 flea , reached the island, I was one of the first on shore that-I might engoy the privilege: 2 N 59,2 Q f- 'Z' So many questions surged through my mind previous to 1TAj'l1C.1I'1'L'lg with Ii1l'lg'SOSB that I knew not , Iwi, K i where to begin, Fresh from college, I decided at last to ask him to review my high school and college ' .,, Qi 5 1,1-Lx f , days.

HYou were a member of the June Class of 1921, the largest class ever graduated from Forest Avenue F Q' I ' High School. I can see that same class entering the school in September, 1917, nearly four hundred strong, - ' - r 'Q ' f frightened little boys and girls, knowing nothing of the future and only happy that the first, seven years of al W K . -I 1 their efforts had culminated in this victory-able to enter high school. The first class meeting of the year . '5 , , l was well attended and the class chose as its leaders: President, Lillian Moore, Vice-President, William U J it Andrews, Secretary-Treasurer, Teckla Kuhnell, The outstanding accomplishment of the Class this year was -X 1 1' 5? their wonderful showing of school spirit by subscribing nearly one hundred per cent to the school monthly, 1 I 1 ' The following year ushered in world peace and reconstruction. With this came reconstruction in the in ui schools, but the Llass of june '21 continued to Carry On. The officers for the first term were: Presi- f ' f jig V iH ident, John Dunlap, Vice-President, Ruth Smith, Secretary, Ruby'Betzg Treasurer, Fainita Lanier. The l Q :mx second term officers were: President, Anna Lee Searsg Vice-President, Stella Sladeg Secretary, Dorothy lm D Q . L 'vi' Lorchg Treasurer, Margaret Waggener. The activities of the Class this year centered around a successful f-1 5 . .pi dance, fir pleaslure, and fthe mpst representatives in scholarship assemblies, for work. d -,, ' L'In tie thir stage o its ie the Class shone brighter than ever. Still maintaining its high egree of 'Gi '. 1 scholarship, the' Class turned to other activities. They gave their second dance in as many years and in the ' .3 ' ' spring produced 'Kentucky Belle,' a three-act play, one of the biggest successes ever staged in the school. 3 V Q The guiding influences for the first term were: President, Dobson Liggettg Vice-President, Joe Balisterig . g af ' Secretary, Fanita Lanierg Treasurer, Stella Slade. During the second term the class leaders Were: 5' Pres?lint,CThomas Igollowayg VHcesPresident, Ewell Iiutherfordg Secretlary, Reba Curriii. 'fig ' e lass as eniors, as a enior classes, too the lead in sc ool activities. n every activity, HJ scholarly, athletic, or benehcial, it was a Senior victory. Early in the year they staged Too Much Bobbie, well acted and well received. They were instrumental in starting a live Students' Council and in bringing about many new features for the school. And then came graduation with all of its glories, set . A. 5 amid a scene of white clad maidens and neatly clothed young men. The officers of the Class during the final , H zxixeqar of is efristence ini high schoolMb21t not in spirit were: President, Wentworth Pierce, Vice-President, , H, omas o owayg an Secretary, a alda Isaacs. tg .: Li N f'And now for your college daysif' ' .i 1 But at this juncture of this strange creaturels discourse came the shrill blasts of the ship's whistle ji..-1 N , . 1 warning all onshore that the time of departure had arrived. And reluctantly I arose to go, thinking of va ,ILE what I was missing because of lack of time. Promising myself another trip to this island some other 1 .4 Rf 1 ,13 51-'.E time, I slowly made my way back to the ship thinking the while of the wise man and his true story. IF Vjffw rg s v . - M.
