Tl-IE lQ3o 'ORACLE Seniors 4 Flower Colorg Yellow Tea Rose Blue and Gold Motto Not Ar The Top But Climbing Students believed for centuries that birds were creatures of great in- telligence. Now after years of observation naturalists tell us that our feather- ed friends hardly think at all. They are lucky! They enter life with an almost ideal equipment for dealing with their environment. If you and I were as fortunate, we would leap from the cradle with a ready made ability to endure the hardships of the world. Instinct guides the complex maneu- vers of birdsg but we have been given a gift of intelligence from God, which we must develop through study, hard work, and practical experience. As our first step in this development, we successfully completed an ele- mentary course of education, wherein we obtained the primary principles of learning. Now after four years of further study we have secured a high school education. We entered this institution of learning in 1932-one hundred seventy- five carefree youngsters. We were the largest class ever to have entered this school. The title of Sophomores gave us a feeling of learnedness. That the upper classmen seemed to have dispensed with some of their superiority gave us encouragement as we continued our struggle toward success. Then, as Juniors we were challenged tc prove our worth, or fail and shame the class. We worked diligently to accomplish the former. A long anticipa- ted thrill came when we received our class rings, which seemed far more glamorous than those of our predecessors. And then, of course, our Prom was something which we will not easily forget. On the whole, we profited immensely by spending another year in our high school. We became more mature young men and women, who thought more clearly and more intelli- gently. Our senior year was full of surprises. The snow storms which caused school to be suspended for several days, and then the devastating floods were catastrophes which surely helped to make our last year eventful. We were beseiged with orders for caps, gowns, invitations, and penants, but we en- joyed every moment. The financing of the Oracle, the greatest of our achievements, was a hard job, but, oh, the fun we had inventing and plan- ning projects for every month. Commencement and Baccalaureate, and then all was over. Now we are ready to fly from our accustomed habitats into a great and complicated world. With a good foundation and with faith in the Divine and in Mankind, may we be as successful as our feathered friends in achiev- ing our purpose in this world. Marjorie Myers '36 --Ml 18 je-
