 SENIORS About three years ago our country was all agog over the thought of its new President, his cabinet, and the promised New Deal. Just so four years ago we Seniors, then ready to enter Bolton High School, wondered about Prof. Brame, his faculty, and the curriculum of Bolton High School. Our country was willing and desirous to give the New Deal a trial. We, as Freshmen, were willing to pitch our tents at Camp Bolton and begin work on a four year Educational Program. The N. R. A., A. A. A., T. V. A., and R. F. C. are only a few of the many units of the New Deal which our nation has been studying and putting into effect. It has required many conferences of our national leaders to decide on plans most needed by the people and just what procedure to pursue. The N. R. A., with its new working codes, shorter hours, and increased wages has completely revolutionized industry. Bolton High has a code of five working periods each day and each of us as citizens of this school is expected to work every period. Deep digging is required to prepare well the hard soil of mathematics. One must be very studious to learn how and when to plant the desired seed of foreign language so that it may take root and grow. We also need to know when and how long to irrigate our minds with learning from the spring of science. We need to spend much time in studying the history of years gone by and since we wish the history of our achievement to be interesting in years to come we must master grammar and literature. Some spend much time in cultivating their voices in order to become great orators. The untiring practice on the football field has made some of our number so brave and strong they will be able to set up camps in the most remote districts of our country. Tennis and basketball participants have become so alert they are ready to face any ball which may be hurled at them— even a cannon ball. During the Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior years of work we felt that we were scaling many rungs of the scholastic ladder each term and had anticipated reaching the top at the close of our Senior year. Now we are beginning to realize not how “much” we know but how “little.” We now see the need of many more days of training in the old and new projects before we shall reach our objective and become scholars. We are very grateful to Prof. Brame and his co-workers for their persistent efforts and guidance through our high school work, and we hope that by the end of this semester they may say to us, as the American people are saying of the New Deal, “Well done thus far, keep up the good work.” 22
