GEORGE R. HANNA President Reason and good judgment are the qualities of a good leader. Georges achievements are many and varied. What would our class have been like without his leadership, scholarship, athletic ability, humor, and intelligence? His wonderful attitude toward school and work will always hold high place with us all. George is an excellent stud- ent and the best of pals. Besides, our oral talks would have been incomplete if We had not had a contribution from him on either baseball or Swanzey. Hanna has taken an active part in all school activities.

6 K. H. S. ENTERPRISE world owes us a living, we owe it a life. He who loves his enemy, doing good to them that hate him, giving as he would receive, must bear the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes . The Christian life is not one for cowards. But the reward in happiness is great, ask any one who has really tried it. Most of us want happiness. Durant calls happiness a symphony in which pleasures are the melodies. We cannot always be hap- py, sorrow must inevitably mingle with pleasure. But in a life of service these dis- cords are infallibly resolved into harmon- ies which makes all worth while. Momen- tary selfish pleasures, the satisfaction of unworthy desires, cannot bring lasting happiness. Participants in a hysterical, devil-may-care life may rise to the heights of ecstasy, but they fall hard. I have not meant to preach. Let youth not lose its insouciance . But we must look where we are going. Heaven save us from getting into a rut! May we never be satisfied to work, eat, and sleep in an endless, futile chain. Let us fight for something higher. Let us keep our minds awake and alert. VVith these things in mind, we look up the road of the future. We see smooth shady places, we see steep rocky spots, toilsome under a broiling sun, between are grey, dreary places. Often we see forks in the road. Occasionally there is a guide- postg more often we have only our own purpose and our own will to guide us. To every man there openeth a highway and a low, And every man decideth which way his soul shall go. FACING IT , Philip Emerson ,'35 T has been stated by a few educators and ministers that we, the youth of today, we, great and mighty seniors, are the new hope of the world, a prodigious salvation, to mend our distorted world and to lead it heroically through the gilded path to Uto- pia Qthey probably got the idea from the ancientsj. Merciful heavens preserve us! If we are the cream of the earth, God help the skimmed milk. Already I may appear too harsh, even invidious, but it seems almost impossible to state certain truths without their seeming to rise up and scream out with a sting that only a hypocrite can appreciate. And in life, let us, above all things, be true to ourselves! Let us not in cowardice hide behind some superficial retreat built not repudi- all, the real of our blind ideals, let us ate the truth, because after hypocrite, the middling idiot, that would have us believe all is well with the world and being, is the one that tries to fool him- self. In this regard, let us not measure suc- cess in terms of material wealth, in keep- ing up with the Jones' etc. We all should know that the highest type of success and happiness is giving yourself something big- ger than you are,-the real Christian phil- osophy. Life is what you create, existence is what you find. Give me health and a day, said Emerson, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous. Undoubt- edly we will commit many errors, and there is no surety of happiness in the end. We shall shed many certainties as we reason, we shall meet countless trials and hard- ships, and will probably, regardless of my prating, cope with them in the Pagan fash- ion. Man, said Mencius, differs from the animal only by a little, most men throw that little away. But remember, it is bet- ter to be Socrates in prison than Caliban on the throne. Let us reason TOGETHER. The Enterprise board wishes to ex- press its appreciation for the help given and the material received from the entire school. We are truly grateful for the work done by the graduating class. We espec- ially wish to thank Mildred Cohen, Jose- phine Rapsis, Priscilla Slocombe, Ed Ellis, Donald Strout, Warren Spicer, Philip Em- erson, Mary Holmes, Mildred Kharfen, Irma Dostilio, Leslie Goodnow, Robert Hol- brook, June Wetherbee, and Esther Dick- inson.

I 0-W ll ww EVERETT Nl. ADAMS Invention is that talent of youth as judgment is of age. Adams is our tall active youth who will certainly be missed in Keene High. He is extremely active in all the clubs, and in the orchestra of the school, as well as in many outside organizations. Adams is a radio fiend, and has a station of his own. We hope to hear you broadcast from coast to coast some day, Everett. Fare thee well! RUSSELL D. ALLAN Yea, music is the prophet's art: among the gifts that God hath sent, one of the most magnificent. Russ is Keene High's maestro of the violin. He has thrilled many students with his violin and orchestra. He has been active in the various clubs of the school, so. good luck to our future Rubinoff. PAULINE O. BAILEY To know her to is to like herf' Pie is a swell kid who is liked by all her classmates. She is noted for her silvery voice and has made good use of it in the Glee Club.

ABNER H. BARKER Speech is great, but silence is greater. Always quiet and studious, Abner has been one of our sincerest classmates. He will be a success in anything he attempts. Best wishes for your future career. HENRY J. BARTAS 1 am wealthy in my friends. I Henry is small only in stature. The list of his activ- ities while at K. H. S. is large. Some of his more out- standing achievements are Varsity football letterman, bas- ketball manager, and Wipsey-Wopsey stage technician.
