' Valedictory a Dear Friends, Te-achers and Class- mates: ' We who stand to-night at themeet- ing between a happy past and. an un: known future have reached not the end, but the Commencement of our lives. We have completed the course that 'has been given us, and are now raedy to step forward along -the path- ways of Life. So far we have come together, hand in. hand and we have been looking forward to this time for- getting that it was going to mean a time of parting, But-now we remem- ber, and in spite of our triumph it makes us sad. Therefore- I am not go- ing to linger over the parting words. Our-little boat stands at rest to- night at the bend of the stream, and we are pausing awhile to draw in our breath for the work ahead that is to be through many deep ,and to us un- known channels. So far we have rowed our toat together, but tonight boat, which he shall row and row alone. V It is pleasant to pause here at the bend of the stream, and consider the pleasant calmness through which we have been rowing, but we cannot ling- er long for the river of life must ever go on. ' . S ' Dear Parents, and Fiends wetcanno-t pass forever out of thisquiet channel into deeper water, without ,tharkirg you for thetmany privileges you have . . . . . I given us, on this our beglnnlng of our' voyage of life,iwe want-you'to know how much 'we appreciate your loving thoughtfulness before, we, to-night, sail onward, thro-:gh the deeper chan? nels to the sea of Life.. . a To you, dear teachers, we must ex- press our earnest thanks. Often' in the days to come on life's sea, when the tillows ot' the storm break over us, with their trials, temptations and sor- rowsg when our courage sinks like a rock within us, and discouraged we lay down our oars and let our small craft drift through the starless night, then re-sting upon them and watching the rising sunwill come memories of school and you and wh.en before our surprised -eyes our dear class motto: Not Evening but Dawn with all its beauty and meaning is unfolded com- posed of those dear old colors the blue an the gold symbol of trust and of promise. Then will we rise up to your teachings and again take up our oars and with renewed strength row on. to perform our mission in the splendif sea of big ger oppo' tunity. Dear teach ers, you must all know how deeply we feel this partingg and can realize how much we mean by the only words we can find to say God bless you! ' , L - - To the Board' of Education,'I would ' P ' See 'tus for e extend the thanks of a class for the priviledge we have enjoyed here. We - ,Picnic and ' Baseball Supplies feel grateful to those who have made it possible for us to come to this particular school. ' Class, mates, there'si only one 'word more, and the last must be to you. We are lingering at the bend of the V ,stream-the end of our course togeth- er, for now peach. must row forthl alone into the deeper channels to D come, wherever and into whatever they may lead.

W Sophomore Initiation -' ' October 10.th was a very exciting eveningifor the Sophomores as they had been invited to ea party at the school house. They were told that if they dressed in their best clothes they would have to pay a heavy fine, which none of course had to svC er as they acted according to orders. I, When the So-phomores arrived, the Juniors ushered them, to the Senior assembly which served as a reception room. Games were-played until all guests had arrived. p Then the Juniors, after blindfold- ing the Sophomores, who were sure their trouble had begun, led Lthem down stairs' to the basement. At the foot of the basement stairs they were led over a ,rough stretch which was a bed spring. As they had this trouble abo-ut over they were greeted by -a cup of Water thrown from within the furnace room. ' Then they were taken into the Morgue Uponentering they were surprised, by hearing wierd music from the Victrola, which became more ghostly than before as the' guests were led to touch the skeleton of Caesar, the casket of -Cicero, led down Grave Yard Alley 'where they could hear shrieks and moaning of the dead, and led near the body ofa man who had been killed in an accident On the previous day. After theyhadhvislted the ,morgue they were taken into the science Icom Wh.e.re they waited until all had visited the morgue. , , They were again blindfolded and led into the morgue and fed what they thought to be worms from the coffin of Cicero, which, when the blindfold was removed, Was, to their surprise, found to be spaghetti. V Again' they waited in the science room for all ,to assemble. After tak- ing the punishment where Florence Bushgens- and Kenneth 'Kelly 'both blindfolded. Florence fed Kenneth syrup. This was S1 very sricky propo- sition as most everyone received their share of the syrup.. At lastthe Seniors came, 'who served afsmall lunch, which was eaten ,with many jokes in between and the guests de- parted. L. A 1 -g a N Christmas. Party On December 19th, the Juniorpclass held a Christmas party at the home of Bernice Hoare. . l . The room in which the Juniors were seated was decorated with Christmas decorations. 'A beautiful' little tree loader with pretty gifts .stood at 'one sidecof the room. C ' . Several games were played durirg the evening. The igameshwere Magic Music, I Brought Back What I Bor- rowed, and others which were enjoy- ed by all.,, ,L ,H I H Delicious refreshments were served then the presents were distributed.
