YOU? sim. Our aim throughout the pest four years has been to gain an education that will help us to leed---he-ppy, profltsble and useful lives. This education hss provided us with the assurance and given us the opportunity to dove lop the strength of character so essential to the young men and women going forvurd into the world. Education is much more important in securing Q position to-dey than it wus Q few years ago. The employer of to dey is choosing the person who can fill the position most efficiently. He prefers the student who has attained a high stunderd of work during his progress of study. The new life we are entering is dependent upon machine- ry. Machine power is necessary to produce the food we cet, the clothes we wear, ell of our methods of transport- ation, our home end everything that we have. Even the government of the world is classed as a huge machine. Rendering justice and regulating the material needs of all May I for the moment picture us as a part of this huge machine. New we too must play s great pert, not only in this vast production but also in working for the welfare. of others. This requires unity of thought, strength of character and need of cooperation not cxpress in the self- ish warring countries of Europe. There is no restoration for loss of life or destruction of property. So let us co- operate that we may make this great machine run smoothly enough to produce something that vc cun be proud of. Our education has helped us to do this.

They're Betty Ewing, secretary, And her fiance, Mike Roe. Then too there's that blonde, Whose last name is Peck. when there's anything to do, She's always on deck. We also have Marion Lindsay, Who is friendly toward all. I know many of his friends, Will miss him next fall. Also we have Edward, Who in grades is the best. For in his studies, He outshines all the rest. Oh, yes there is towering Wallace Way, Who is tallest of our group. For him to reach the ceiling, Is plain duck-soup.
