1935 CHEVRON A sw, Farewell To High School I For twelve long years I have done my English, my mathematics, my His- tory and my other subjects. For twelve long years of forty weeks each I have sat in a hard, uncomfortable seat listening to what was supposed to be informing and helpful but what I thought was often very uninteresting and bdring. And now I am to leave it all-the friends among the other students anid the teachers, the hustle and bustle of school life which although it seemed toannoy me, really pleased me, the hard lessons that weren't so hard after thliy had been done, the extra-curricular activities and the social life of the sc ool. If only I could do it all over again what a joy it would be. just during the last few years we have entered a new high school, equipped with the best sup- plies available-the cafeteria, the gym, the science rooms, the vocational eqpipment, the athletic field, the large, well equipped auditorium and stage arid, oh, so many other things too numerous to mention. The people just entering high school do not realize the wonderful advantages offered them th t we, only two or three years ahead of them, did not have or else had few of. l I As I look back over my school years, especially my high school years, how pleasant they seem. Although there was much work or trouble in them, they were filled with fun and adventure. They seem bright and cheerful as I look aflead the future seems rather dreary. Friendsand pals will in a few short weeks be separated never to meet againin one group. Some, I hope all, will have great success. Others will not be so fortunate. Some will immediately find their work while others will go to college, return to high school or have to stay around home with nothing to do. I But there is another way of looking at it. Who are we to crab', about our chances? Former classes have had to face the same situation, have had to separate and have had to work to beat the game of life. Are we so privi- le ed that we have to be pitied? No, we are not. Therefore let us bid high sciool a fond farewell with our heads up and our steps firm. And let us re- member that others have succeeded so why can't we do the same? Wm. B. Nestle, English 4A Page Twelve l l

1935 CHEVRON Mr. Patterson of Middleport High School has been elected for the new position in the Commercial department. :F :sf Pk ff Miss Olive Clement who has been teaching at the Grammar School for the past two years has resigned her position. Mrs. Gladys Pedlar, a former teacher in Albion, has been hired to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Clement's resignation. A ik if :sf wk Births In April a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Martin. Congratulations. sk Pk :of af F Parties From a social standpoint, the Albion teachers have enjoyed a very success- ful year. Aside from several smaller parties given by the members of the faculty in their homes, we have had several festive get-to-gethers. Using a reception for the new teachers as an excuse, the faculty last fall journeyed to Brockportg Roxbury Inn, where they enjoyed a delicious dinner and delightful evening at cards. Last September Mrs. Fetzer, Mrs. Harrigan, Miss Allen, Mrs. DlAmico, Miss Wright entertained very beautifully at Fairview Manor. Miss Ganniard, Miss Filkins, Miss Gillette, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Martin gave a very pretty Christmas party at the Manor. In February the teachers decided to have a party in the Homemaking rooms and as usual, a party of very simple beginnings soon evolved into a banquet of considerable proportions. It was discovered that we have several good cooksl' on our staff who thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to use the stoves, dishes and refrigerator of the new kitchens. Because most of the drudgery connected with cooking, such as setting tables and washing dishes, was done by the Homemaking Girls the committee in the kitchen thoroughly enjoyed its job. The committee of entertainment, also, worked very hard to provide a novel and pleasing program. Pk Pk gk af Misses Filkins and Ganniard are planning to attend summer school at Columbia. Magic Web A giant spider had worked all night Spinning the web that shone in the sung Weaving the delicate sprays of light Clear and pure-like the soul of a nun. The huge web clung to a skeleton-tree Shooting forth rays in a fountain of dreams, 'Till they fell in a pool-and could see The sun had melted the ice and the dream. -Virginia Elson Page Eleven
