George B. Whited . . . Silent but deadly . . . soccer player superb . . . math major . . . a real good friend in a real good way . . . the best disposi¬ tion anyone would ever hope to have. and so. . . . there are many things that make a lasting impression on the minds of students, but the last year of high school is undoubtedly the most im¬ portant and vivid. These seniors who have been pictured and portrayed on the preceding pages have experienced the ultimate change and direction of their lives. They have entered the world of men from the world of child¬ ish protection. They have reached the gate of individuality, and, most im¬ portantly, independence of personal action. They have reached the foot of the ladder of success in a world where climbing up takes hard work, perseverance, sincerity. Some will climb the ladder slowly, some with com¬ parative haste, and others won’t climb at all. They will be left to the fate of their own doing.
