-if OMMENCEMENT day again approaches. As you, the members of any graduating class, begin your venturesome journey along uncharted trails, most of you will be leaving the halls of formal learning for good. Perhaps no other years will leave a stronger or more lasting impression upon your lives than those you spent in high school. Here your latent skills and budding attitudes began to flower. Here you practiced daily applications of neighborliness, friendliness, and brother- hood. Here you learned to plan, work, play, and live with others of differing races, creeds, colors, social and economic status. Here, at high school, you can truly be a good American, a co-operator with good will- towards allwthe true essence of democratic living. As you leave these hallowed halls you will have to face life's tests fearlessly and success- fully. Your very existence and that of our beloved land may depend upon how you will meet those tests. T As this issue of the 1948 CLARION embraces the record of your significant school experi- ences of the year now closing, so your three years as student should embody a rich heritage which you have acquired. May the memories of your life at Appleton High School always serve you as personal inspirations, as stimuli to greater individual achievements, as challenges to greater service to humanity, and as fuller measures of happiness.

Wisconsin is perhaps noted for its modern agricultural methods and ideals more than anything else, it has been a pioneer in the soil conservation program by introducing crop rotation to even the most .secluded farms. Dairy and malt products, corn and wheat, apples, cherries, tobacco, and hemp are a few of the various crops. The organization of farm forums and 4H clubs has helped to educate the farm population to the ever changing theory of agri- culture. The industrial progress of Wisconsin has given her good cause to hold her head high. Paper products, machinery, modernized farm equipment, and iron and steel products are all manufactured abundantly. Her factories were highly praised for their outstanding activity in wartime production. She rates as one of the best vacationlands of the nation, her. North woods, thousands of sparkling lakes and streams, and general scenic beauty are visited by hundreds of tourists every summer. Many of the famous H1611 of the world have hailed from this, our native state. Some of the more commonly known are Hamlin Garland, writer, Robert M. LaFollette, statesman, William CBillyD Mitchell, soldier, Christopher Latham Sholes, inventor, and Frank Lloyd Wright, architect. ln the field of music whose songs could be more loved than those of Carrie Jacobs Bond, Dr. William S. Pitts, Eben E. Rexford, and Charles K. Harris? Yes, many of us have forgotten, have taken our many blessings for granted. Let us remember as we celebrate this centennial year to renew our admiration, our gratitude, and our interest, let us strive to make the future of this mighty state, which we so humbly hold in our hearts, a future of which we may always be proud.
