“So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” William Cullen Bryant Joseph Green, a member of the class of ’56, passed away on November 4, 1954. J. Willard Dungey, a member of the school board, passed away on November 16, 1954. F. J. Friedli, assistant superintendent, passed away on March 29, 1955. vft ' Wtenutoiam

jZte Me cUmtttitty . . . tSie ofAeitccie t a aut ta eyiw The echoing chatter and drone of the classrooms, the thundering clamour and rumbling of the overflowing halls, the hushed forbidden whispers stolen in study hall, the shrill yelling and deafening cheers at a close game, the bright carefree laughter in the cafeteria, the steady tat-tat-tat of flying fingers at the typewriters — these are the melodies of our school by day. The unshattered silence, the breathless stillness of massive buildings emptied of life, the darkened halls alive with shadows—this is the melodv of our school at night. But our school has a more magnificent melody than these, an unending symphony. This is the blending of young minds, stimulated and guided by patient teachers through the years. This is truly perfect harmony.
