iM mnrabtlta ®pportuntti| Master of human destiny am I; Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields I walk ; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death. But those who doubt or hesi- tate. Condemned to failure, penury and woe. Seek me in vain and uselessly implore, I answer not and I return no more. 1335 19

il morahtlta What could be more appropriate than to have Roger come first in our Class Book, for he is certainly well liked by all pupils. As a matter of fact, Roger is what we might term the perfect example of what the High School student should be, for he is quiet and considerate of all and never gets into the difficulties that the rest of us seem to be always tumbling into. As far as studies go — Roger never seemed to be in trouble for he always managed to get by easily. The teachers never had to worry about this boy; for he always had his lessons well prepared. Roger belonged to most of the clubs open to Seniors and took an active part in them. As a member of our varsity Tennis team during his Junior year he won his varsity letter in that sport. We do not know what Roger intends to do in the future but undoubtedly he has his college all picked out. We. know that he will be a success in whatever line of work or study he takes up because of his sterling charac- teristics. Good luck, Roger, from all of 1935. “Ducky” hails from the hill and is very seldom seen without “Murph” or “Ruthie.” She says that her favorite subject is Chemistry, but she does not tell us the reason for that choice, unless it is because her associations in that class are very enjoya ble. At any rate we don’t think that it’s the subject itself. But please don’t get the idea that “Ducky” doesn’t like studies, for she seems to get along very nicely without any monthly reminders from the office. She enjoys all sports — but it appears that it isn’t always High School sporting events that seem to get her interest. She has been a very regular attendant at basketball games in the Armory on Friday nights, but we are not quite sure whether it is the sport itself or some other attraction. Ann plans to take up hair dressing and we are sure that success will fol- low her. The class of “35” wishes her the best of luck in her chosen profession. Do you need an introduction? I guess not, for you would know “Nino” anywhere. (He is self-confident to a certain degree, and is always endeav- oring to better himself and thus gain for himself a host of friends in good old C. H. S.) “Nino” was always known to voice his opinion on any subject, and to stick by it until otherwise convinced. Besides his studies he always found time to interest himself in athletics. “Nino” intends to enter some college, although he hasn’t named the one, and the class of “35” wishes him good luck and success wherever he may go. 1935 21
