6756151 .Cp 05172 U O I Open thy doors, 0 castle of my fate And bid me enter through thy oracles of light, Shut not to me the shining, splendid gate Of knowledge, great success, and life's delight. Bid me abide, and do not drive me hence, Oh, let me breathe the air of knowledge, pure and sweet That I may well prepare for life's defense And never totter down in gross defeat. Shut now thy doors, O Castle of my fate, And open them to one still unprepared for life, Adorn him with thy knowledge to .be great. Farewell, Old Faithful thou hast taught me Page Twenty-seven right Z

Clfafiscfiafo 'cy Most of us of the graduating Class of 1940 started High School under difficult conditions in the coaches. We now enter a difficult world-a world torn with a great war and rife with dangers to our democracy. By surmounting what seemed to us serious obstacles during the course of our education thus far, we have been preparing ourselves to meet those ahead, not only in our private lives, but in assuming our share of preserving the freedom and privileges we now enjoy. We must be on the lookout for subversive influences and for persons disloyal to our government, those engaging in activities not in accord with our ideals and traditions. Above all, we must keep in mind the fact that the more we expect from our com- munity and nation, the more we shall be obligated to serve them and con- tribute toward their maintenance and progress. Life today presents a clearly defined challenge to us, the younger gen- eration, to continue and to improve upon the society which our parents and forefathers have established for us. Much remains to be done in every field, for nothing is ever perfect. Progress is essential in a democracy like ours, because progress is our life, the thing upon which our civilization is based. We must either be moving forward or we shall slip backward, for there can be no standing still. Soon we shall undertake to do our part of the work of the world, better trained for it than any previous g-eneration. There is no reason for us to fail. Wherever we go, whatever we do, We will never forget those who made it possible for us to get a start in life. VVe owe much to our teachers for the knowledge and habits of Work which they have endeavored to impart to us. We owe perhaps even more to those who have paid taxes to build and maintain the educational system by which we have so greatly bene- fitted. When the time comes, let us try to do even better for a succeeding generation than has been done for us. SHERMAN S. Cook, JR. .cgiafutatozy Graduation from high school is both a sad and happy time of our lives. It is sad to leave the many friends we have made. Of course, we will meet many new people in our future lives, but the friendships of the future can never entirely take the place of those we have made in high school. The vacations and advance studies may take the members of our class to the four corners of the earth. After graduation, we know that the members of our class will be widely separated. It is not likely that our entire class will ever be reassembled, but we will always be interested in each other's welfare. Graduation is a happy time. We have many new experiences and an entirely different future to look forward to. Our freshman year, spent in the coaches, was a unique experience and one which we will not soon forget. We are the last class to graduate that may boast of having gone to school in railroad coaches for a whole year. We will always have pleasant memories of our four years in Helena High, and we are deeply grateful to Mr. Wahl, Mr. Templeton, and to the entire faculty for their helpful guid- ance and interest in us. Our class will probably do no more to settle the problems of the world than 'have the preceding ones, however, we sincerely hope that some of us will climb high and contribute greatly to the welfare of humanity, and make a lasting impression through science, art, and other fields.
