VERNON W. EVANS Life is but a short journey. Yet it never should be judged by its span of years. Rather should it be appraised by its quality. It is the use you make of your life that really counts. Education is really preparation for a richer and fuller life. Such a life, though chronologically short, may be long in the quality of its texture. I urge you to be considerate always of your fellow men and women. Be altruistic in impulse and deed. Life ' s richest rewards come through service to others. Always be ready to extend a helping hand to those less fortunate than you. Of such things is true character builded. Be able to sing when you feel more like quitting. Many a song has driven the blackest clouds away. The world loves a man who keeps his chin up and his head erect. A smile and a song keep chins from drooping. Lastly have an abiding faith in God, your fellow man, and most certainly yourself. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools.

JOHN A. W. PEARCE It is with utmost pleasure that I accept the opportunity of thus introducing the Saugus High School Annual, a new literary venture for all the students of our school. It may be of interest to point out the manner in which this publication differs from the usual yearbook. The essential idea is the presentation of the annual publication devoted primarily to the Seniors, their activities, and their interests; the preparation of which makes use of the talents of all and any of the high school students who are interested regardless of class. This means that the new Annual is no longer simply a Senior publication. It is the hope that this plan will lighten the burden of the Seniors and that by more inclusive participa- tion, it will improve the calibre of the book. I am sure that the first issue of the Saugus High School Annual is conclusive proof of the soundness of the idea and the staff is to be congratulated for the out- standing success of their labors. May future staffs continue in a similar fashion, making the Annual a fine Saugus High School tradition. John A. W. Pearce, Principal
