CLASS OFFICERS CDF1939 .....-4 ARTHUR UWA' T ' President Wirruxivi Exxon v ,ce Presi SENICDRS, STATELY AND SEDATE E, as graduates of the year l939, are going forth to take our places in the great world of today. We are going forth to receive a herit- age made possible bye those who have gone before us. Let us not be lacking in our appreciation of this grand and noble heritage. Let us continue the enviable record that we have set up and maintained during the past. How proudly we can now look back on our past ac- complishments: our delightful sophomore party, the highly successful junior class play, Broken Dishes. Let us also recall our field day victory when we as juniors defeated the senior class, Our junior class prom with its beautiful theme, 'Neath Southern Skies, was eminently success- ful. Our accomplishments could not have been pos- sible had it not been for the eXcellent teaching and guidance given by members of the faculty and ad- ministration. To them the senior class extends its heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. Mere words must fall far short of that true appreciation which springs only from the soul of humans in response to service and knowledge given. The greatest ser- vice possible, far more precious than gold, is to lend to fellow-beings the knowledge that will guide them through the complexities of life. The true value of teaching another the right and the true way of living cannot be ascertained, for it is immeasurable. As we go forth into the swiftly-moving world of today, we leave behind us twelve years of study and learning--twelve years of achievement- twelve years of preparation for active citizenship in this great country of ours. Some of us will further our educations, others will take their places in the economic and social world at once. The period of training through which we have just passed was probably the most important of our entire lives. It was during that period that char- acters are formed, and vocations decided upon. Our problem and duty is now to employ our train- ing to its best possible advantages, Our lives de- pend on how well we make of our past knowledge. training, and experiences. We are truly representative American citizens. We are the citizens of tomorrow. By raising our moral standards and intellect we contribute to raising the standards of an entire nation. Vv'e, as citizens, can strive for world peace in a world of unrest: we can practice religious tolerance, we can uphold the glorious doctrine of free speech and thought. Let us go forth with a determination to gain the best and never be satisfied with less. Let us go forth into a world full of opportuni- ties- And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of Time. -Francis N ye
