OUR LEADER SPEAKS In the dedication of Zenith yearbooks, generous recog- nition has been given in the past to superintendents and to members of the faculty. It is only fair that occasionally a number should be dedicated to the students themselves. We older members of the school community need to remem- ber that high schools are maintained solely for the purpose of educating young people for the duties of good citizen- ship. The student should be the focal element in all school activities and planning and since nearly all the material and work going into the annual is done by students, they are fully entitled to special consideration for carrying through this project of their own planning. The members of the faculty and student cabinet of the Coopersville High School wish you the greatest possible measure of success in every- thing you undertake and in the words of Sir Walter Raleigh we would say— “Bestow thy youth so that thou mayest have com- fort to remember it when it hath forsaken thee, and not sigh and grieve at account thereof. While thou art young thou wilt think it will never have an end; but the longest day hath its evening, and thou shalt enjoy it but once; it never turns again; use it there- fore as the springtime, which soon departeth, and wherein thou oughtest to plant and sow all provisions for a long and happy life.” Hail and farewell to the class of 1950.
