Q-L- A SS POEMS + + RED AND BLACK '36 CHARTLESS SKIES Like a modern aviator bold VVe ventured forth across the endless seas In search of knowledge. From simplicities We flew to continents, time-tried and old Where, to higher thought, the arts unfold. The works of Virgil and Demonthenes When learned, direct our future destinies And train our minds into the master mold. One voyage clone, another promptly starts Into the ever-changing clouds of life. VVhile hidden close, within our care-worn hearts, To aid our toils in this relentless strife, We hold the memory of lusty cheers That made us victors in our high school years. -John Wade OUR DRAMA The rustling programs all at once are stilledg Bright lights grow dim, and music softly dies. The hushed, expectant audience is thrilled As solemn, velvet darkness veils all eyes. Behind the curtain, too, is felt a hush As eager, radiant, youthful actors pause Beside the wings. Behind, rehearsal's rush, Ahead, a woeful failuregor applause. And now we are the eager actors there, HBack-stage and ready to begin our play, To brave the scornful laugh and critic stare, To please the ones who pray for us today. We know the practice gained these twelve years past VVill mold our life-long drama to the last. -Donald DeWitt : 2 5 PAGE

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY For twelve years this senior class worked upward to this commendable moment when we might say, We have succeeded! Now we are to receive the diploma symbolizing that for which we have striven. Again we are to be graduated, some to go into another academic quest and some to enter immediately into the obligations of life. We have gone through these six years proudly and expectantly, doing our best to gain recognition and honor for our class. Two years in the east wing of the building were as a separate school. Four years, from a green-horn to the f'Top, have molded our lives into what we now stand for: 'fHonor before honors! As freshmen we looked up to our big brothers and sisters for guidance, independent as we thought we were. As sophomores, we aided new green freshmen in gaining a secure foothold. VVe had our first joint action in select- ing blue and gray class Colors. As juniors, occupying the large junior study hall and nearly filling it, we began to form ideas for our senior year and to watch the seniors closely in order that we would lose no time in taking over our duties. Then, when the big year Came, we were ready, and we have executed these duties to the best of our ability. We guarded freshmen, we led in activities, we helped teachers, and we were, in deed and act, seniors. As time has advanced, We have lost a few of our number, and gained others, but through all have we stuck together and still keep in our memory a remembrance of each friend we lost, as we welcomed new friends when they joined us. VV e have tried to be always worthy of the duties, assignments and obliga- tions that have been given us. We have attempted to show spirit and good sportsmanship for everything we have undertaken, no matter how great or small, or what the outcome might be. We have striven to show our appreciation for all that is being fContinued on Page 34j
