'X L Y - I .1 VALEDICTQRY To-night is the culmination of four years of work and study. Though it is with sad hearts that we leave our Alma Mater, we are looking out into the future-the future with its many opportunities and advances. ' p As we have succeeded in our High School career, we hope to succeed in this new field of service of which we are now a part, But it is to the faculty, to Mr. Stetson, to our Superintendent Mr. Koontz, and to the people of Titusville that we owe this success, and in behalf of the class of '24 I wish to thank you allf XVe bid farewell to dear T. H. S. with its many fond memories. No matter how many and varied are the paths which we shall soon follow, al- ways in our hea1'ts, there shall be woven about our Alma Mater, a golden thread of reminiscence. RUTH L. VVILKINSON. SALUTATORY Another year has rolled around in its course. Another Com- mencement has arrived. Once more parents and friends have -gathered together to witness the triumphal completion of our High School course. This great event does not lose its interest .in our lives as each year brings it once more to our view. It is an epoch maklng event in the lives of rislng' citizens. lt is because of the .interest and effort of our parents and teach- ers that we have reached this ,qreat pinnacle in our lives and we are truly grateful for this fact. Our parents have realized the import- ance of education and have brought it within our reach, in many cases by great sacrifice to themselves and of their own personal de- sires. We certainly hope that we may be Worthy of this sacrifice and are truly pleased to share with you the culmination of our ef- forts on this, our graduation night. So, in hearty corroboration of the sentiment of the graduates of the past and of all those who are to come, and especially in be- half of the class of '24, I extend to you the sincerest of welcomes. we ' i MARY E.

l CLASS HISTORY You are about to hear the h.istory of a famous class! We en- tered T. H. S. as Freshmen September 7, 1920, but unlike other Freshmen we were not at all green and on all sides one could hear the teachers and even the upper classmen exclaim, My, what in- telligent looking boys and girls ! During our first year Pauline Baker guided our many footsteps through devious paths. At our first meeting we choose lue and Gold as our class colors. Besides maintaining excellent s holarship records, we held three successful parties during the year, ssisted in Red Cross Work and helped make the'Armistice Day arade a great success. - Though only two parties were held they were considered uge suc cesses. It was during our Sophomore year that other claises began to take notice of our athletes, both boys and gtirls, o were win- Theodore Jacobson was elected president the next U year. h - Wh ning places on the regular football and basketball teams. Somehow we all managed to squeeze through the final exams and we mounted the third rung of the ladder. Our president dur- ing our Junior year was Joseph Radack. This was a busy year and though we spent a great deal of time selling candy, we had time for a few social affairs. We decided to give the Seniors a glontous party and after raising money by various means, arranged for one of the best proms ever given by any class of T. H. S. Time flew quickly and we soon found ourselves sop' isticated Seniors. We elected Lindell Montgomery president, but a Linn did not wish to assume the responsibility, we elected in his stead Ed- ward Vinopal whose excellent leadership has proved that we made a very wise choice. i As Seniors we have held only a few parties. The last one was held April 11, .in Knights of Columbus Hall. The year hits passed all too quickly. lt has been a year of hard work, but we have also enjoyed social activities, athletic events and wholesome friendships. We shall never forget the four years of happy school life spent in T. H. S. Our history as a class comes to a close but o'r history as individuals .is just beginning. We are sure the futur accomp- lishments of every member of the class of 1924 will brin glory to our Alma Mater. It is with real regret that we terminate our stay in dear old T. H. S. V EVAN G.
