Superintendenfs Message To the graduates of Staunton High School I say con- gratulations. I am congratulating you for having completed the groundwork for an education. Don't make the mis- take of believing you are now "educated. " I would like to leave two thoughts with you. 1. Democracy gives you the right to vote, and the best way to keep that right is to use it. 2. There are no elevators to success. To reach it you must climb, climb and climb. MR. I. HAROLD DIEL 1, Harold Die1 Superintendent Prineipalas M essage Iwould like to urge that you consider carefully "your yardstick" for success. Along with your attempts to prepare for earning do not forget to train now for an appreciation of the spiritual values of life. Develop now good habits of living, and a character of which you may be proud. Develop now an interest in some form of good wholesome recreation. Do these things now for as someone has well said, "What you are to be, you are now becoming. " MR. W. K.

Some of our achievements during the past year have been: 1. The installation of the Coca-Cola machine, from which we received programs for basket balL and football games. 2. The scheduling of the assembly programs for next year. 3. Helping in choosing a company to buy class rings. 4. Distribution and collecting for class pictures for which we received a profit. 5. Presentation of an interesting movie for students and faculty. 6. Last, but not least, we have vigorously worked these past months on the organization of the Bulldog Dugout. ' We sincerely hope our work has proved satisfactory to everyone.

It was both a happy and a sad occasion Happy because we would be free to find work or just 'loaf around. " Sad, because we would no longer be able to come back to S, C, H, S, and take part in the many activities there or feel a f part of the student body of this great seat of learning. We have had happy times and also times that were not so happy during our brief, four-yea.: stay here. We hope that the future students here will galn as much from her as we did, and we also hope that we have done some good for her. We hope that this good will live on and benefit the future generations as well as we have benefited from the past ones, who have gone before us. Our class will probably now spread out all over the nation and, perhaps, the world, but we hope that some day we shall be able to get together once again. If we never can, we know that we will always be together in our hearts. Speaker - - - - - Dr. Frank Everxull Solos by - - ------ Bob Sherfy Dick Scheller Don Mancell Class presented by - - - -Mr. W.

The Bulldogs, with five returning lettermen, did well this year, considering their lack of height, which is so vital to a winning basketball team. They finished with a 13 wins and 13 losses record despite this handicap. They were also third in the county tournament and third in the confer- ence. Even when they lost, they displayed a fighting spirit, which can make all of S, C, H, S, proud of them.

This year, Staunton's track team was a lot improved over last year. This was only the second year of competition by Staunton in track, and the team did a good job. Staunton won three dual meets this year, while winning points ln the Conference and County track meets also. This was the last team that will be coached by Mr. Lashmet, and not only the boys who played under him in Football and Track, but everyone that knows him will be sorry to see him go.
