Publilvlzcd by the .S'tudent.r of ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL VOLUME 111 JUNE, 1935 NLTAIBER 2 OUR PRINClPAL'S GREETING Dear Boys and Girls: You are on the threshold of a great adventure. Yours is to be the privilege of being the first class to enter the new high school. You are in a sense builders .-Ns you lay the foundation of your future lives, so at the same time you will form that of the new school. You must have a vision of what you desire that future to be and plan to make it a reality. Keep the ideal of 'beauty and service through all, the spiritual as well as the material. Accept the responsi- bility for establishing through your lives, high, clean-cut standards of intelligent, courageous citizenship. Make the school a place where you live up to these ideals. Thus will you mold your own destinies and be a guiding influence in the lives of other boys and girls through the ,years to col i '. I I -, .

I. . . , , , I 1 1 VALEDIOTORY Uur three years in junior high school have been as a bridge carrying us from the elementary school, where we were led and taught, over the road of education to a more difiicult part of our journey, This bridge has been of great value, for here we have been tested to see if we are capable of standing alone and doing our own thinking. XVe have learned in junior high school the true value of education. lVe have learned the trtfe value of friendship-what we may expect of friendship and what we must give to it. NV e have governed ourselves with the aid of our very kind teachers, and we hope that we have learned a great deal from books as well as from our experience. XVe have succeeded here: now weu.have come face to face with senior high school. llle shall soon be in new situations where we must make decisions. XV ill they be wise ones? VV hat choices are we going to make? How N X are we going to choose our friends? How are we going to choose our studies? How are we going to select our careers? life raise these questions not because we are un- certain about how to answer them. lN'e raise them because we know they are our problems, and, with our training, we should be able to solve them. XVe have been trained to think g we have had opportunities here to act and do things as well as to think about how to act. VVherever we are. wherever we go, we shall be the better for the line things our school has done for us. XV e have tried to live up to our motto Light and Life . Our teachers have helped us find mental and spiritual en- lightenment. Vlfe are truly grateful to them, for living without the inspiration of learning and culture would in- deed be a dreary routine. This is our heritage from Alice Deal junior High. lVe hope to add to it and, as we go on, give to others the precious gifts of knowledge, kindliness, friendship, inspiration, and loyalty-for these are the ma- terials of happy lives. ' Like the Greek guests of old we go taking with us the gifts our host has bestowed upon us. But when we be- come hosts--when we assume the responsibilities of adult life in our homes, our work, our communities--we hope that we may be as generous in our gifts to those who come in touch with us as Alice Deal Junior High School has been to us. VV e cannot repay our school. VVe can only thank our Alma Mater and, as we do so, promise to cher- ish her gifts and to share them with others in all our sep- arate lives wherever fortune may take us.-fanct Clark, 9133.

2 ALICE DEAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WELCOME SPEECH On behalf of the graduating class of 1935, I extend to you, our loving parents, many friends, and loyal teachers a most hearty welcome. lille are proud and happy to have you with us today. To our parents, whose love and constant aid has made possible this happy day, we give our hearts' dearest greeting. As we stand here, all exicted over our new im- portance tfor in a few minutes we'll be real live gradu- atesj, we realize how much we owe to your constant urg- ing to get your home work done. lNe also realize how hard it was for you to turn down our pleas Let nie go to the movies just this onceg the teachers won't know if I don't do 1ny home work. Gratefully remembering this we promise to try to prove worthy of your love and con- fidence. Friends, we have an extra warm greeting for you also. For today we are able to show you our achievements through the past three years. XYe hope you will enjoy our exercises and the program provided for you here. Our hearts today are full of gratitude for the many fine teachers who have helped us over the rough spots, to the end that we emerge graduates of the Alice Deal junior 1-ligh School. Miss Backus was our first principalg and for two years she guided us wisely and well. VV hen she left she took with her our love and admiration--leaving such a vacant spot. Then Mrs. Merritt took us in hand and under her splendid leadership we arrived at our great goal-graduation. Our younger brothers and sisters we also welcome. llihen you get where we are you will have many tempta- tions such as the circus, the competitive drill, and the open- ing games. But it is always better to avoid them. The teachers will approve of you and your records will im- prove when you can resist temptations. And in your secret heart you will be happier. VVe are so glad that the SDA classes were permitted to attend our graduation today. To them we give the Torch. For they are to have the privilege we now give up-that of a senior class. Wfith this honor goes a great responsi- bility-always to keep the standard of our school high. It is not always easy-nothing worth while is ever easy-yet we are confident they will carry on for the glory of Alice Deal. lrVhether you are a parent, teacher, 9A Dealite, young brother, baby or friend we are glad to have you.--Jean Ezfclyn Stoner, 9133. CLASS OF THIRTY-FIVE Xlfhy, my dear VVatsonl Of course we had no murders in our junior high school course. .l'll admit though that plenty of unexpected and exciting things happened. Did you know, Vllatson, that Charlotte Anderson received her first letter when in 7A? Then, too, you probably didn't realize we had nine pupils who made the honor roll. Nor did you know that Catherine Hickey held the tennis champ- ionship in both TA and TB. In TB we had eight honor roll pupils and seven getting their first letters. Surely you remember our giving The Courtship of Miles Standish during this term. lVatson, I'll have you know that although we only had five honor roll students in SA we had fifteen students re- ceiving their first letters and four their second. During this term jean Galleher won the annual spelling match. In SB we had sixteen honor bright pupils. What do you think of that? But that isn't all because we had twenty- two receiving their tirst letters, three their second and Rosamond Griggs, .lulian Lorenz, and Martha Milburn their third. Your simple deductions are all wrong, Watson, because Bob Harlan didn't try to murder Billy Higgins for de- feating him in office. lnstead he satisfied himself with captaincy of the Traffic Force. Catherine Hickey, our pride and beauty. was elected Secretary of Student Coun- cil. The SlAl and SHX2 girls presented Our Cousin from Sweden. The cast included Peggy Appleman, Virginia lloward, Mercedes Boyle, Catherine Hickey, Anneth Schipiro, Mildred Bladen, and jean Galleher. The Christ- mas play was given by our students. Don't tell me you didn't hear about Catherine Hickey being the first girl trafiic ofiicer Deal has ever had? VVhy, she eve11 kept her position through QB. So you deduct that our graduates held high ofiices i11 HB? Vlfell. you're right there, because Bob Harlan was president of Student Council, joe Sullivan, vice-presi- dent and Tom-Ed Hicks was captain of the Traffic Force. Our class officers were: President, julias Kaiserg vice- president, Henry Mosesg secretary, Laura Hastingsg and
