The time is fast. approaching when we, the Class of I9-l2, will end our career at Ligonier High School. No one can deny the fact that that we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We wish to express our deep regret for the loss of john Holt. to the class. President of his class during his sophomore and junior years, he left. school early during his senior year. Four years ago when we embarked, as freshmen. on our journey through High School, we realized, but slightly, how rapidly the time would pass. As freshmen we became acquainted with the traditions and customs of our school and continually learned to re- spect this higher institution of learning. During our sophomore year we were better fitted to show our ability and leadership in various classes and school activities. Before long we found ourselves entering our junior year. Then we began to look forward t.o the day when we would occupy the cherished positions of the seniors. By this time we were becoming more responsible to the task assigned us and more fully aware of the value of a high school education. Then after three years of expectation the long awaited day arrived when we became seniors. Our hopes had finally been fulfilled and now many more opportunit.ies were laid before us. How quick- ly this year has drawn to a close! We scarcely realized at the beginning of the year that our long looked-forward-to trip to Washington would be halted by the dark clouds of war. But near the end of l94l when we became aware of the fact that our ambition could not be obtained, we didn't quit but continued to work as hard as before. hoping that we could find a suitable and just way to use our funds. Although we dispensed with a few minor activities we still conducted our magazine campaign, held dances, and sold refreshments at athletic contests Our only remaining activity is the class play which will be pre- sented about the middle of May. Upon leaving Ligonier High School, we wish to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Ivlr. Wylie, our principal. and his able faculty. We are also greatly indebted to our class advisers. Miss Evans, Miss Gross. Mr. Waugaman, and Mr. Mathews, who have been so kind and patient in helping us through our Senior year. As we leave our Alma Mater we are fully confident. that we can meet the issues that will confront us. This will be possible be- cause ofthe excellent training which has been given us during our four years of secondary education.
