One hundred and sixty-one strong you represent a splendid cross-section of Ashland and the sur- rounding rural territory. You represent a wide range of abilities, various interests, many homes.

the class ol 193 -4 MR. E. L. BOWSHER Superintendent Greetings to the Class of 1934. You have finished your course of training offered by the State of Ohio and the citizens of this community. You have done so in a creditable man- ner. It has meant much in effort on your part and sacrifice on the part of your parents and the citizens of Ashland. They now have a right to expect something from you in return. You are leaving Ashland High School at a time in the history of our country when the stuff of which young men and women are really made is given a most exacting test. Few periods have seen competition keener, social changes more in evidence, and opportunities for human service greater. To those who are qualified and willing to serve, the future should offer a place in the ranks. You are entering a new period in human relations where service will be the password. It may be a period when the souls of men are most sorely tried. It is our hope that this high school has contributed something to your sense of values through which you may weather unexpected storms and build most excellent futures. llay your success be abounding.

'lihere was a time when our faculty had an opportunity to prepare for an annual picture, for it was then an individual matter. VVe changed the order of things this year, however. All unsuspecting, our faculty was dragged from their classrooms one early spring afternoon, ushered to the steps of the auditorium, and posed, there to face the camera. Here they arel Not at all had! ln fact, quite good. XVe'ye agreed with them and quarreled with themg worked for them and against themg have felt moments of dislike and moments of affection for them. But, all in all, each of us has made many friends among them, and we're always sorry to hid farewell to our friends.
