Medical Lake High School - Cardinal Yearbook (Medical Lake, WA)

administration Many of the champions of this world were people who had to struggle against dismaying obstacles before they successfully reached the top. None of the enduring, worthwhile things of life can be secured without sacrifice and hard work. This is rightfully so, for in striving to attain these desirable goals, one's character is molded. The collective total of many such individuals forms the strong democracy of which we are iustly proud, and for which each of us must be ready to labor. The members of the Medical Lake High School and especially the annual staff have gained valuable experience in cooperation, planning, and long hours of hard work in producing this issue of the Cardinal. My congratulations and best wishes are extended to all. W. A. HUFF Memories are made of this .....the con- fusion of the first day of school, student body elections, football in the crisp autumn air, honor rolls, the excitement of the school carnival. National School Assemblies, annual staff assignments, all day rehearsals at Mead, We Wonders in the school paper, sour harmony at the Christmas Party, eating in the dark at the G. A. A. banquet, the thrill of our first championship in the county basketball tournament, power equipment humming in the shop, icy roads, mud vacation, tardy slips, overdue book reports, 5, 000 word themes, cadet teachers, the Junior Prom, Jr. Sr. Banquet, the crack of a baseball as it meets the bat, the Senior sneak, graduation, and final report cards..... AND, interspersed within all of these various activities, a great amount of study and learning. All a part of going to school, a free school-part of our great heritage which is American. To our students, I say reach for a star, always look up, do your part to preserve this we know to be good. Enjoy your high school days ... they go quickly and do not return again.. . except in memories. W. E. BALL 3
