2 a a a The Garnet and White Alnta fHntrr Feeding you, loving you, long have I mothered you. Giving you knowledge of life and its things to be. Children, I hope for you, leaving me as you do. Happiness, winning the goal that you want to see. Longer I will not be able to watch your life; Out of my care you are taking your future way Into the problems and struggles of way and strife Into the dawn of a coming and glorious day. Through many years I have watched students take their leave. Always I pray for their growth in the outside world. And as they go, all unknowing they do bereave Her whom they’re leaving with banners of youth unfurled. Now when the time will be for you to go from me. Oh, Thirty-six, these few words I would leave with you: Ne’er will you part from me, for in my heart you’ll be Part of the history and traditions of this, the school. Mary Elizabeth Dunning, '36

The Garnet and White ▼ ▼ ▼ 3 i£int of tljr Horizon WISTFULLY, we cast a backward glance. Three years ago it was, when the daring Class of’36 set out to reach the horizon. Anticipation and labor —and we have blazed a trail not soon to be forgotten. Along that trail we were ever encouraged by the sacrifice and the devotion of our stable Alma Mater. VVe have approached that seemingly remote line. Our long day’s tedium is over. Here—here we stand at the horizon for which we so faithfully strove. Or do we? How life-like! The horizon—an intangible object! We can still see but a more distant goal beyond, another trail to be blazed. Unlike our high school pioneering, we shall plod diligently into separate paths to that horizon we now view. A labyrinth of trails- looming sombre and uncertain before us! Thankful are we for the power of adaptation our West Chester has given us. May each trail be blazed to perfection; may the distant horizon hold a rare treasure for each of us! Janice Hunter, ’36 ♦ ♦ 5reater 3Cnue THERE is not, possibly, or ever will be a greater love than that which we have for our Alma Mater. There are so many precious memories attached to its familiar halls of which we shall often be reminded in days to come This school has been our home for four years. We have found joy, honor, pleasure, and sorrow; we have found a salvation for our troubles; food for our thoughts has been given us; we have been fitted to meet many of life’s experiences —all these things has this benefactress given us. It is no wonder that this is a cher- ished time for us seniors, who must slip from beneath her bountiful arms to make room for another class, so that that class may enjoy the same fullness of life that has been ours. What a privilege and a blessing that we have had the advantage of high school! True, we shall love college, but high school came first and there is no greater love than first love. Bette Clayton, ’36 ♦ - WEST CHESTER HIGH West Chester High, to thee we’ve sung our song Of love and praise and loyalty. To thee we’ve meant each word Of affection, hope, and fealty. We’ve meant to leave behind us Things to remember us by. As for what we’ve left behind us. May your esteem be high. May those who are left to graduate Accomplish a great deal more. May they love and praise thee And be proud to leave thy door. We who now have conquered Great things within your walls Will appreciate the lifts you’ve given To lighten our future falls.
