1939 THE TOOT 1939 “We’ve Come a Long, Long Way Together” We borrow a line from one of the currently popular songs to express our sentiments as the prospects of our coming separation, both from the school and the members of the class, looms before our eyes. Four years is a relatively short time, and it has flown past in what seems an incredibly shorter time, but the four years we have spent together are indeed very important years. In the past four years we have developed our characters, and have adopt- ed a definite personality for ourselves. It is very unlikely that either our per- sonality or character will change radically throughout the coming years, and the mark that we leave on the book of accomplishments will owe its existence, whether it be honorary or not, in the main part to our four years spent under the benevolent tutelage of the C. H. S. faculty. Of course, some of us may change very much, but they will be the exception, and not the rule. Our class has done nothing exceedingly startling during its four year so- journ in C. H. S. We have been by no means more outstanding than any other average c.ass. We were not socially prominent, and have not had many class get-to-gethers, but every affair we have sponsored has been a huge success. Our dances have always been well attended, and our choice of orchestras has never been belittled. We have striven ror quality, and under the guidance of Mrs. Fudesco, we have never missed our mark. We doubt very much if we will be remembered long in the school, although the antics of some of our more illustrious members may be discussed for a while, but we are content in the knowledge that we are a group that marches ahead slowly but surely, com- petent to meet any situation, though unheralded by the fickle notes of a brass band. The only sad note to dim the joy oi the situation is that we shall no long- er be in the company of the many friends we have made during our four years; we will no longer come to the tamilar hails whence we have toil- ed (a little) and played (a lot), and looked forward to the day when we would look back on our high school life. Oh, we’ve all looked forward to the day, when we would be graduated; to say different for the sake of sentiment would not be consistent, but we have by no means looked on the four years as drudg- ery, and we will all miss the many good times we have enjoyed here. We suppose it would be pleasant if we could stay in one place all our life, keeping the same friends and classmates, but we would never progress, and likewise the world would never be able to keep up with the treadmill of ex- istence. It is time for the class to break up; it is time to go out in the world, with the enthusiasm of youth tempered by the experience of old age, and as a result, a better place for the succeeding generations to live in. It is impera- tive that we all dedicate our lives to the bettering of the world, and thereby enjoy a useful existence. WE’VE COME A LONG, LONG WAY TOGETHER. AND WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. —HERBERTLENEKER
