This, the 1940 Colonnade is presented to the students of Buchanan High School with the hope that throughout the years to come it may be a constant reminder of the happy days spent in work and play. To do this, it is necessary to show the serious side of life as well as the humorous. You and your fel- low schoolmates have been pictured as you are in the classroom and as you are at play. It has been our goal to cover completely all the phases and activities of the school with special emphasis placed on that commence- ment of life to which all the seniors are looking.

With visions new, with lightened eyes, We seem to see, to grasp our prize, And what we faintly loved before We’ve learned to value more and more. The life to which we forward look Seems to us a closed book ; May we learn, as it unfolds Year after year, the best it holds. Oh. he the gift of every hour The rich endowment of new power, As we speed with quickened pace To play our part, to take our place ! Not through paths where all is pleasure Seeking thus to find our treasure, Not through paths well tried and old Where others sought for fame and gold. But if need be where oppressions Wrest from man his true possessions; Where the lights of love and praise Shed but feeble, flickering rays. Where hope droops and hearts are weary With the struggle, long and dreary, There our richest lives to live ; There our hearts’ best gold to give. TIIE 1940 COLONNADE Senior Statistics JOHN P.
