,sb ,Y . ' A To the Class of February, 1931: 'IIHE most worthy kind of memory is one which enriches our own and the lives of others. The memories of your high school days that will serve you best are those from which sprang courageous decisions and honest judgments, and which ended in renewed purpose and determination. If you would make your future richer because of past experience, pick out from the last four years those most worthy moments which will bring you faith to fight discouragement and strength to serve a right cause. STELLA C. CULLEN. 1

l To the Class of February, 1931: II N October I drove over that splendid road from the Wind Gap, paralleling the mountain ridge for twentyffive miles to the Lackawanna Trail, and then westward to the top of the Pocono ranges. The day was wonderfully line, fleecy clouds floated against a blue sky, falling leaves rustled lazily to the earth. The forest was in full autumn beauty, crimson in the sumachs and in the fivefleaved ivy, scarlet in the swamp maples, yellow in the tulip poplars, and a host of less vivid colorings in the beeches, oaks, and maples. Dark green splotches of spruces and hemlocks accentuated the duller colors. It was a sight to lift one out of the humdrum things of everyday existence. In a class as large as yours, one finds continual variety in individuals-some stand out most vividly in the various activities, classroom, athletics, dramatics, scholar' ship, character building. Each has played a part, each has accepted or disdained opportunities to advance. As you have grasped and used opportunities, so will you have confidence and courage to solve future problems when school days. lie far behind. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM ELY ROBERTS.
