fr H E' Aivis-TH YSLT President's Message l One for all and all for one was the motto of IJ'.'Xrtagan and his famous Three. It expresses the attitude of all the members of the Class of 1933 toward each other. During our four years together, groups and individuals have, through fine achievements, upheld the prestige of Deering High, but our proudest boast is that every single member of this Class has contributed his and her full share in maintaining the highest traditions of the school. From the depths of our hearts pours forth our RICHARD Y. MCCANN love for parents, who have sacrificed so much for our welfare. Wie shall remember with grati- tude our principal and our teachers, who have so carefully trained us in building character and scholarship. Today, school systems are threatened by the hardest times in history. Greater in- telligence is the need of the hour, and we should give our support to the cause of education. Rodin's statue, The Thinker, is still the symbol of humanity's hope for the future. Emerson counseled, Hitch your wagon to a SIHIIH VVe must have faith in our- selves and faith in the destiny of the Cnited States. The world owes no person a living, but each owes unselftsh service to the world. No matter how high we climb, we can reflect no greater glory upon our beloved school than by a record of service to our Country, our City, and our State. After four years of happy companionship, marching side by side along educa- tion's broad highway, we have reached the crossroads. That each shall now find a path where God's blessings grow in abundance is the earnest prayer of all. E121

Students are chosen from the upper third of their class for scholastic achievement, character. leadership. and service to the school during their four years. In tozt, the National Association of Secondary School Principals decided that there should be some recognition made for students who have achieved distinction in the qualities for which schools were organized. 'l'hus. the National Honor Society was organized. This membership is an honor toward which every Deering student should strive: it means enrollment in an organization which, although only twelve years old, has over l,lOO chapters and 65.000 members. Fourteen members of the class of 1933 were awarded National Honor Society emblems. Among these are representatives from several school organizations as well as many outstanding athletes. E141
