For a number of years each member of this class has been gathering information which has caused him to develop new ideas, inspired him to do some real thinking. This has resulted in branching out into new fields of interests. This developing is very similar to the development of a tree. New branches are developed or extended because of the rich material upon which it feeds. As we grow older, we extend our interests in various fields because of the rich material we have gathered as we go through school. I am confident that you will continue to develop after you leave school and enter your chosen field of activity. In what- ever field of work you enter, may you ever be loyal to those with whom you work. Gfzaaled W Jfawell 'CAS the twig is bent, so is the tree inclinedf, This maxim is well-known and true. The home, the church, and the school are the three main influences attempting to bend the young in the way they feel it is best for them to grow. Your school, as one of the sources determining the direction of your growth, has been pleased with your achievement. It has taken pride as you have put on new wood fknowledgel, expanded your branches factivitiesj, stimulated the flow of life-giving sap fcharacterj, and blossomed with green leaves llsuccessesj . May you continue to grow in all worthy ways until you have become a sturdy, useful tree in the forest of good citizens. Ulge vffszu

Four Um Wneme THE TREE OE KNOWLEDGE Since that long ago time when the Psalmist said that a wise man was alike a tree, planted by the rivers of waters, Education itself has been viewed as a similar slow-growing plant. The comparison is apt, for, even as a forest giant puts down its sapling rootlets into the rich, leafy mold, so must the youth be grounded in those high ideals and principles that are to shape his character. For the wind, the sun, and the rain that nurture the tree, there is the counsel, the guidance, and the instruction of teachers, who strive to help each individual attain his mental and emotional maturity. Then, even as a productive tree, the student goes from his school into the world, to spread abroad the seeds of his accumulated wisdom. It has seemed appropriate to select, for our Silver Anniversary Annual, this theme-The Tree of Knowledge.
