There was a large attendance both nights. The acting was exceptionally fine, and the character parts were well portrayed. Those seeing the play will long remember Clyde Everton as George, 3rd with his English accent, Delma Jean Jones and Margaret Schieferstein as the beloved Nancy Price, and Bob Jackson as the “one and only Sam Wilson. The College Club Luncheon, given at the Redwoods Hotel, May 16, was the first social event for the senior girls on their commencement calendar. On May 22, the P.-T. A. Mothers banquet was given at the Redwoods Hotel for the entire class. Dancing was enjoyed after the banquet. Baccalaureate services were given at the Methodist church, May 24. Various honors and a clever and original presentation of the Class Will and Prophecy were enjoyed on Class Night, May 26. Commencement was May 28. In short we leave with the thought of many successful undertakings and pleasant memories. Life is wonderful. Some day you will learn that loving God and loving one another are the sum of life. More and more this will become evident and will govern school life in the future. It will annihilate backwardness, pride, selfishness, misunderstanding. You will realize the goal in your life is not all book-learning and making money, but to learn better how to live with and love humanity. Robert Jackson, President Senior Class. Senior Farewell The familiar old halls are alive tonight. Alive wtih fun and joy and laughter, Alive with young faces all smiling so bright. Alive with the hope for the years that come after. But through it all is a current of sadness Of all the time we must leave behind; Memories come flocking of schoolmates and gladness. With dreams of the life we yet have to find. Four years have passed since we entered the place Where we have learned of law and rule. Now as we leave we remember this phrase; “Out of school life and into Life’s school.” —Margaret Coan. 20
