THE RIVER WIDENSH As a river proceeds toward its mouth it constantly grows wider and less turbulent. In a like manner, we, the sophomore class, in bringing our second year of high school to a close, are conscious of a broader reach of knowledge. We are better able to control our feelings and are absorbing more and more wisdom, just as a river re- ceives and makes a part of itself, the contents of its tributaries. Knowledge is power is an old adage, and with the knowledge we have obtained from our school and experiences the past year, we are in a position to go a great way in being an asset to our school and our country. We have observed that a river with no outside infiuence is of very little practical use, but when man harnesses it and puts it to work, it makes life much easier for many people. That the river of our life may be harnessed, we are going to school to learn how to use our talents and energy to the best advantage. ' The school year of '37-'38 has been one of pleasure through our close association with friends and the faculty. ,.. - B. H.s. V c M E-H .N-M, v
