Page Fourteen WHITEFEATHER Senior Class History There is an old saying that history repeats itself. What happened last year, the year be- fore, and still farther back, is again happening this year. As before, the class colors of '35 will soon be history along with the colors of other classes. Commencement, the present goal of all, is repeating itself. As before, it brings with it the end of our high school careers, but not the end of the things which have happened here- Memories may become dim and faded but they linger forever. Many ponder over the meaning of that word, commencement, whichis not the end, only the beginning. ls this the end of the fame and glory which, together, we have achieved in these past four years? Down deep in my heart I think that it is not. The fame and glory which Napoleon won is still living todayg Wash- ington, Lincoln, and many others are still re- garded as great men. Why? Because of the fame and glory which they won. Why can't the things which we have done in the past few years, then, live on, if not forever, at least as long as we have the ability of recalling past events? Ah! you ask, What have we accomplished and what changes have been brought about in the high school, if not because of our presence, at least during our time here, that we should re- call them? With your permission, I will tell you. Four years ago we came straggling into the high school assembly, widefeyed, open-mouthed youngsters, awed at the dignity of the seniors, at the boldness of the juniors, and the feigned nonchalance of the sophomores. After looking them all over, we took the seniors as our pat- tern and carefully followed them through our first year of struggle. The second year- Guidance? No! We had earned our place and from then on meant to hold it. 0pportunity knocks but once is the old saying and the music department knocked. We-especially the fairer sex-made good use of this privilege and now are turning out some fair vocalists for the world to admire. In athletics, we offered the best to uphold good old Buckland High School's established name. Dramatics? Talented were our numbers and many did their best to show their histronic abilities. As juniors we began to wonder, How will the school progress without us? -as classes before us had pondered. But each new year brings to us an eager and more determined body of juniors striving for the place that rightfully belongs to them. So as seniors we are merely beginning a new and more advanced life, making way for our under-classmates and filling spaces left vacant by our elders. Graduation is but the stepping stone to success, or at least to the life to come. For' ward, into the strange and new life, we marcha ready for the onfcoming events, both partial and impartial, which may darken our way. We are, I believe, very anxious to put ourselves to the test and try out our abilities which we have cul- tivated during our life at this school. Shall we succeed? Time alone is the recorder. What new activities, what new ideas of scho- larship, and life has Buckland High seen during the past four years which we should recall? ln '31 a man of high ideals of scholarship was induced to take over the reins of this school. lt has been only with his indispensable help that we have been able to add the dramatic club and greatly increase activities of the glee club which had been organized the year before. Each year these functioning bodies have grown stronger and to remove one now would cause grief. Since our entrance in '31, the Pioneer our school paper, the typing class in which many are in- terested, and our debate club have been or- ganized. In addition a fine school orchestra is now being built and a play-ground has been built for the lower grades-not a large one, it is true, but at least one of which we are justly proud. No matter what happens, sacred memories cling in our minds and some day we may recall a verse from l.ongfellow's poem, The Old Clock Cn the Stairs. ' All are scattered now and fled Some are married some are dead' Y 7 !! Ah! When shall they all meet again? ' 'FOREVER-never-NEVER-Forever. ' ' By joe BILL BRUNER
