Now we sight the most famous port on our itinerary, the Port of Education, for which our ship of Education was named. We glide so quietly into port we do not realize it. Hearing the bells and the laying of the landing plank we journey forth. Forth into the unknown but not without confidence. Once each year we pick up our studies here and continue on the foundations that were laid so long ago. For nine years the foundation was laid, so that senior high school work might be laid upon a sound structure. It is here that the rounding out of an extensive and specialized education is ef- fected. Sophomores may be mystified and bewildered at the drastic change, but soon the intermingling with upper classmen paves the way to security. They join organizations and become an important part of the cogs and wheels turning the machinery for the classes. Juniors are more settled and real- ize that school for them is nearing an end. The consequent earnestness of their efforts makes them the hub around which school life revolves. The immortal Senior Class is rounding off the edges and stands as an ideal-an ideal well estab- lished that may soon form the nucleus for a suc- cessful life. Page 18.

Senior Officers J. Six V. Gibson 0. Ford J. Peters lseatedl The Senior Class The ship of Education has made its final mooring for the Senior class of l942. We take leave-but one last look at the weathered ship that has carried us over many tumultous waves. For the majority it has been a twelve-year journey with occasional stop-overs to mark the milestones along the way. The day we left the pro- tection of our homes to enter school is just as vivid in our minds as gradua- tion. Then we entered junior high. Ohl but were we not grown upl Then came graduation from junior high and entrance into senior high. That was the biggest milestone of all. Senior high marks for many of us the final formal education of our lives, but we take with us the tools by which we can learn through living. We who have plodded along, at times slowly and often rapidly, now stand on the threshhold of the greatest experience in our lives. Soon we shall take our place in the world. The last three years have been the greatest, the years in which we become more familiar with the workings of our democracy and our share in its well-being. The officers on board our valiant ship were elected to guide us capably into the port of Graduation. Junior Peters, President, Vivian Gib- son, Vice-president, Janet Six, Secretary, and Opal Ford, Treasurer, did a splendid service in their last year al the helm. ' For the most part we have enjoyed the education we received in the school, and with a background of knowledge we step forth to use it for our own well-being and the good of human welfare.
