71 0 Once again, as the years roll on, it is time for the Senior Class to bid hail and farewell to the corridors and classrooms that have been our abode of learning for the past four years. When we leave this institution we emerge into the dawn of a new day, for our commencement is at hand, marking not the end of student life, alone, but the begin- ning of a new career. The knowledge that has been acquired here will be supple- mented in the business and industrial world of tomorrow where we will be numbered among its citizens and where, happily, some of our group may prove leaders by vir- tue of the rational and progressive thought developed in this school. . lt is given to the best of us but to touch the hem of wisdom's garment: here in Technical High School we have been granted a broad and splendid background which, developed rightly, will enable each one of us to attain his ambitions in life: to enter a future which is for us uncharted and uncertain, but bright with the confi- dence of courageous hearts and minds. As the years pass may we constantly renew our golden friendships in the shadow of our Alma Mater. In these associations may we confirm the sterling qualities in- culcated in each one of us, and may the trials of life be sweetened by the felicities of friendship. In this, our farewell to you, our principal and faculty, who so untiringly guided us both mentally and morally in the years of our secondary education, we find we cannot adequately thank you. The futility of words to express heartfelt appreciation for encouragement, instruction, correction, inspiration, and patience, is most apparent upon an occasion like this. We can only prove by action and earnest effort that the seed has borne fruit. The numerous sacrifices of our parents, sacrifices which enabled us to reach our goal, should be life-time fuel for the lamps of devotion carried in our hearts for them. Let it never be forgotten, that save for the steady and unreluctant aid of our fathers and mothers there would be few students to graduate in any school. We look back on four years of accomplishment with no regrets. We have strug- gled to see the fulfillment of our ambitions. To fall by the wayside or rest on the oars might have been more pleasant on a few occasions of discouragement, but prov- identially we held steadfast to our purpose. Now that we are about to graduate we feel that the writer Goethe has expressed most adequately the ideal of the Class of 1937: Aims of a higher order, even though they be not fulfilled, are in them- selves more valuable, than lower ones entirely fulfilled.
