GOODBYE Paqe Fourteen Gomg going gone' The senior class of 1940 from Chico H1 h school IS ready for its introduction 1nto a new world a more turbulent world of joy and heartbreak They have been turned out as from a 1n11l with equal advantages four years of them Every graduate will seek adventure to his taste a Job maybe but most probably higher education 1n a college or university And some day we may be great personagesl We wonder if the teachers ever thought of the pride tney may have in us some day? Maybe that stuck up Block C boy will ten years from now be head football coach at a university and will send out an All American team That boy who can talk the teachers out of detention every time may then be an eloquent lawyer who started swaying audi ences in Mrs Mary Love Brown s public speaking class Maybe that tenor 1n A Cappella Choir who can t tell whether the notes go down or up and who sings accordingly W1ll be an opera singer of note crediting h1s start in music to Mrs Leisure s perseverance and patience Who knows? Maybe we are now har boring a Mrs Leisure the Second with the same willowy expressive hands needed to lead the hosts of voices X Hunking tests and 1n trying to melt glass Cwhich IS practically impossiblej almost blows up the school may be a screwy chemist and invent some new theory to make the students suffer And think' You may be graduating a future president a man who will lead his country with the integrity which the past four years have fostered 1n his heart or maybe a woman the iirst member of the weaker sex to atta1n the supreme office Mr Branch may have the chance to boast that he has trained another Sarah Bernhardt for a role in the trad1t1onal senior play The boy in Miss Stansbury s color class who can t tell red from green may some day become a great dress designer and do unusual and spectacular things with color combination and harmony His greatest helper may be the girl in Mrs Walker s clothing class now learning to stitch straight Who knows per haps one of Mr Filson s Future Farmers will one day be a distinguished Secretary of Agriculture So we see what may be 1n store' A goodly proportion of graduates will find success and possibly renown 1n a special field of work We might prove that old adage There IS always room at the top of the ladder by reaching the top rung and rema1n1ng there 1n the happiness of plenty for the many full years of our l1ves In any case we may be sure that each may find consolation in these words True happiness 1S the one success 1n 11fe . . v . . .U O r , . so - . , .

W? MENTORS There's nothing like a good rest in mid- day, is there? Mrs. West, Mrs. Hamilton, Miss Burr, Mrs. Fountain, and Mrs. Kiss- ling take time after their respective English classes to enjoy the sunshine this lounge provides for the women teachers, Ah! Dr. Thomas must be telling about the good old South American Way. Mr. Rinker, Miss Couch, and Mr. Schreiter seem interested. Don't let those bottles give you any wrong ideas-this is the chemistry lab, and these men of the faculty are getting ready for an experiment. Mr. Calhoon has a lit- tle book on hydroponics, and Dr. Mitchell and Mr. Schoen have deserted their geogra- phy classes and are offering their help. Mr. Urlaub and Mr. Paulson are more inter- ested in the camera than in guinea pigs and HZS Crotten egg gas to you, readersj re- spectively. A class in literature? No, just a friendly gathering around Dr. Delf's desk. Mrs. Leisure has found something interesting, probably on music, Dr. Delf and Miss Stansbury are engaged in conversation on art and books. Mr. Olker is no doubt thinking of his beloved orchestra and band. Rally 'round the Hag boys, da, de do,- well, loiter around the flag-pole, anyway. That's just what's happening to Mr. Nor- gaard, who has forgotten the Cadets for the moment, Mr. Leonard, his history class. Mr. Nixon, his math class, Mr. Maxwell, the mechanical drawing pupils, and Mr. Filson, the ag. class and P. F. A. Page Thirteen
