THE 1935 SCARAB The Treasure of Memories After many years have passed you by, And your mind from care is free, As you sit with your loved ones at home at night, Scan through this book of memories. In this treasure of yours you’ll always find As you turn its worn pages so slow, A friend, a classmate, a teacher so kind — Again you’ll meet those you have known Live again those days that are long gone past. Glance through your pictorial review, And all the glad moments you formerly had Once more will belong to you. You’ll remember well what its pages tell— An occurence you’ll never forget; Each turn of a page and it recalls that age That is dear to your memory yet. You’ll lay it away —this precious book, And while riding the waves of life’s seas. You’ll always enjoy just one more look At the treasure of school memories. — Vernon li. Lewis Cla» of 1935 Page Four

THE Foreword Four years ago a group of Freshmen stood trembling without the gates of high school. Now those same gates are closed and barred against that group, which stands trembling before the slowly opening gates of the world. There is no returning along that path. We have made mistakes; we have also achieved some victories. We present this Scarab to you hoping that you will find in this record of the activities of the class of 1935, something to store away in your memories, something which you may consider worthy of us and our ideals. 1936 SCARAB
