28 MEG' Mill n .AA 'lurk 3' - v 50 U flags Y ll, Ny, AU REVOIR The end of our high school life has come and we must depart from the halls of Ne-Ca-Hi. With all of our puns and laughter about being glad that it's over, deep down in our hearts we are sad to think that we must leave our Alma Mater. Some of us will be black again next se- mesterg but the real spirit of the Orange and Blue w'ill be gone. Al- though we may never return to the scene of our high school days, we will always think ofthe days spent in Ne-Ca-Hi. Some of us will be going to college next year, others will be work- ingg but whatever we do or wherever we are, a change will come into our lives. We will be thrown upon our own resources. It is not because we will have to work that we are sadg but because we will be parted from our many friends, some of whom we may never see again. Let's put away sad thoughts. We can leave school with a feeling of satisfaction that our work will be very capably carried on by the Senior B class. They have a large and peppy group with which to keep up the wonderful spirit that has been present in our school this year. Their task is great-we hope that they can fulfill it. On the student body as a whole rests the responsibility of welcom- ing the new Sophomores. They .should be inspired with the true spirit that typiiies every loyal son and daughter of Ne-Ca-Hi. We cannot leave without trying to thank our teachers for the help they have given us. We cannot think of Words that will -really express our gratitude. They have guided us and instructed us in the right. May their efforts not have been in vain! The organizations in Ne-Ca-Hi have been a success this year. Clubs and other organizations have prospered, but the Bland deserves special Commendation. It has added color to our football games, pep to the team on the field, and spirit to our pep meetings. We regret that We shall not hear it play at chapel, but we can hear it fat football games and concerts. When we hear it play we shall be reminded of happy days at Senior High.

mm im If when we leave, we can go with a feeling that those who remain will profit by our exampleg succeed where we have failedg improve where we have succeeded, then we will go satisfied that we have in some way benefited the school for having been here. If those who remain, will ever remember those words of James Russell Lowell: Not failure, but low aim is crime , they will always keep high ideals before them and will strive harder to succeed. As we depart we cannot say good-bye, but rather let us say-Au Revoir. NEW LAMPS FOR OLD New lamps for old, was the cry of the old peddler Creally a magician in disguisei, in the story of Aladdin's Lamp. New lamps for old, is the cry of the old peddler Creally Life in disguisej in the story of The Seniors' Lamps. Seniors when you were youngsters and read that delightful fairy tale about the Chinese boy, Aladdin, and his lamp, did you realize that at some time you would hear that same cry outside your window? How- ever, instead of rushing to the door to trade your dusty old lamp, lamps for wonderful new ones, you will part with them reluctantly. Perhaps you have never known that you had any lamps to trade. Oh! but you have! Not only one, but several. Some you have carried with you through at least four years of school life and others even longer. What of the lamp of school friendships? Must you not trade it for the shining new one of Life Friendships? And what of the Lamp of School Duties and Activities? In return for this one the peddler will give you the Lamp of Civic Duties and Activities, although this is one that some of you may have little use for for several years. Then, there are guiding lamps, which we know as the lamps of Sincerity, Truth, Kindness, Earnestness, Courage, and Zeal. These you will not trade for new. The peddler will tell you how to remove that dingy appearance which some of them have assumed through the years. Oh yes, you've intended to use them and keep them dusted off, but somehow you have neglected a few of them. He will tell you that you have only to rub them a little with the cloth of determination and presto! the spirit will appear to do your bidding. Life is a praiseworthy peddler. One wonders how he can make any profit in his business. Unlike the magician in the fairy tale, he trades his lamps with a helpful purpose in mind. He does not take advantage of his customers, instead, he gives them helpful advice. He guarantees his lamps to have lasting brilliance-if they are well cared for. But, if you should try to take advantage of him, Life will become a mean magician, his cunning will be too much for you, and you will be lost. 7
