They taught me thus: to think, to act, to be, To choose between license and liberty. Far more than knowledge, these they gave to me: A sense of honor, truth, fair rivalry. Far more than words, they lived the lives they taught, And by example, oh, what good they’ve wrought! These memories of them I shall carry far— The daily line up of each teacher’s car; Warm greetings, absence lists, dry jokes. Real friendliness of all the office folks”; That stern gaze that the teachers must assume. The final grades that spell a student’s doom, Blue slips that every teacher autographs, Faultfinding, helpful hints, and jolly laughs; Eyes off the keyboard.” Get rid of your gum.” Words that ring out and make poor students glum. Sit up straight, can’t you?” Get a light in your eye!” Keep your eyes on your own work!”—No, never say die! — I don’t mean this class—” and so on it goes. Little sermons that help to keep us on our toes; Economics, few failures, and many successes; Fourth year of Latin, how many? —three guesses! That eight o’clock study hall, oh, how we squirm, ’Tis true that the early bird now gets the worm. They’ve struggled, we’ve struggled, the prize now is won! We reach graduation with everything done: While behind us, as proud as we ever could be, Stands our army of generals—the Faculty! And they watch, as we take off and soar to the sky, Our solos as graduates of old Butler High! 17

Greetings to the Mfcmbers of the Graduating Classes of 1944: The theme for this yearbook, Flight toward New Horizons,” is appropriate at this time. Horizons hold a fascination for us. We wonder what is beyond them. Mountains, streams, and oceans have been barriers which have limited the extent of our horizons. The airplane and radio have extended our horizons to include the earth. This expansion thrills us but challenges us to take advantage of new opportunities. Prepare to do that which is worthwhile. Think big thoughts, live the good life, look up and laugh and love and lift. Live your life in keeping with the new and challenging horizons which surround you. ROY W. WILEY 18
