DICATED TO AND for those who have come to the end of their four years of high school— Seniors all over the world are receiving their diplomas signifying accomplishments achieved during their years of learning through participation in classes and activities. During these years we. just as they, have been inspired by our teachers, friends, and associates. However it is to our parents that we owe our greatest debt. Our parents are the ones who have nurtured and cared for us since our earliest years. All their efforts have been directed to the betterment of our childhood and to the obtainment of advantages which will be of benefit in later years. Making sacrifices so that we might continue with our education, not only in the pursuit of our studies but also the enjoyment of the social activities which are a part of our modern training has been one of their greatest virtues. When we have most needed advice they have given it only too gladly with the hope that through this counsel we might become the kind of citizens of whom they could be proud after we have launched our ships in the world. Financial sacrifices have been required on the part of many that we might have the materials needed in our courses as well as the 'frills which help to make life more enjoyable. Therefore in appreciation of those two grand persons. Father and Mother. who with patience and understanding have devoted their energies for our welfare, we. the Senior Class, dedicate the 1940 Hi-Life. 6

Yes. the school year certainly wasn’t all studies! Fun? You betcha!—Especially for the Seniors. As acknowledged leaders they had their first fling at the Fal Party. After yelling themselves hoarse under the new floodlights and getting worked into a fine state, the girls whisked out combs and powder puffs, and presto!—Ladies again! Hot dogs, cold feet, blown hair, hoarse voices, too much candy—yep, that's half the game! And good cheer leaders!—the Misses Christensen, Edsall, Lappley, and Smith—Peppy gals, those! Remember the pep assemblies? Committees racking their girl's gym class really gives a basis for Gert Hamper's name—shall we say “nom de plume of Bunny. Guess she plans to grow into those togs! This sort of thing didn't last long when Jack Frost began making his nightly visits. November and the Armistice Day program came as soon as courses really got underway. We ll remember Mr. Robinson's talk on the necessity of individual undertaking of responsibility and democracy long after most speeches have leisurely been forgotten, if they made an impression in the first place! School days are busy days! Early in the morn- brains for novel ideas—Arvin and Jackie's music, the inevitable We have no yell! —oh yes, Mr. Allinder's announcements, Harvey’s songs, and of course, our mayor! In case you hadn’t noticed, that's the mayor's brother below in an apron. Don't some of those girls look domestic? I mean, of course, the ones at the sewing machines and sink and not Tuck and Phil Bowerman looking pretty for the camera! The Girl's League held their annual freshman party with each new member given a separate introduction by Faith Newton who did the M.C.'ing. The snap below of the ing for last minute studying—noons made short by the necessity of having to tell the gang about the dumb remarks so and so said in Lit. etc.! The meals that were bolted and the digestions ruined to have time for the noon dances will never be known. The day over at 3:37? No. not much! Committee meetings, back assignments, tomorrow's typing, or maybe just time to do some strolling down the halls very nonchalantly with a few candy bars! Hands off the exhibits at the F. F. A. fair! Prizes, saw dust, crowing roosters, rural (Continued on page 14) 8
