Y iw4,'- LIM T NNUA VOLUME xiv Dow CITY, town if MAY 1929 Jl Cfoast on Determination When all t-he world seems wrong, And there's not a thought of song, if you're tired of your work, ' And would often rather shirk: If youlve a man-sized job to do, With others depending on you, But you cannot see the light, To do what must be rightg It isn't fame nor money you need, Brut rather-Determination. If you're climbing toward success, Fame, riches, or nobleness, If you're doing a wearisome task, Which people will often ask, If you're young and brave and strong, But the road ahead seems long, If you wish to do a famous deed, Or supply some's every need, If you're going to go through life, And conquer every strife. You'1l need-Determination. When you seniors, one and all, In your answer to liie's call, And begin to, as you say, Pass from out y-our high school door, To return-nevermoreg And begin to, as you say. Build your ladder, on your way, To success we're sure you will. And our plans for you fulfill, My only wis-h is that. Tucked away inside your har. Will be at least a. peck Of Determination. When Lorena's a teacher, some day, And Lura, too, so they say When Ruth, seeking her career, On musical programs appear, When Raymond's a high class chauffeur And spending his dough all on her, When Sam is showing us how, To disc, to harrow and to plow, Wnen Ruth Scott and Lois show High schools girls how to cook an When fuatnerine has attained the name Of a dress model of fame, And Evelyn, in a shop that is her's, Full of wonderful furs, Will they need Determination To make their occupation, One of highest success? They will. Then, with Avery a drug store clerk, Dorothy, a soda squirt, Helen, a primary teacher, Altha. a lady preacher, When Ruby's a genius wit-h curls, And Bernice a telephone girl, When Herman's a fine dairyman, And Earl works as hard as he can Selling poison for rodents and rats, And Walter's a. wizard with bats, What will t-hey need, we say, To make the most of every day, To do their very, very best, And never lag behind the rest To bring ,others happiness, And themselves-Success. So t4hey'll never quit their work Tho they're tired and others shirk' To struggle thru' financial loss And see the other guy be bossg And never lose their cheery grin, Or commit the larger sin, Of being jealous of other's gain. Who have clirned to higher fame, You have it, friends, What they will need, Is Determination. d to sew, fComposed and given by Miss Winn C251 at this 1928 banquet.J LMA TER YO

Vernon Pearsall V261 Cfhanks It is difficult to find words to adequately ex- press our appreiatlon of the good will and cheerful assistance of all wlhom I called on to help me in my work of putting out this annual. Surely the spirit of co-operation has been manifested most vividly. It is this spirit wihich brings things to pass. It is this spirit which is needed between parents and teaclhers, between pulpit and pew. Many thanks to you all. Such responses as I'll try or I'll do the best I can or yes I'11 do that and if there is anytlhing else I can do just let me know. These have made tihe task of editing this publica- tion a most pleasant one althougih secretly speaking it h-as been a much larger task tfhan we at first anticipated. Our ambition was. so far as possible, to have a letter from one in eaclh class but you can see now that we have fallen short. To those wfhfo failed to respond let me say that your lett-er will be missed espec'ally by those of your class. Allow me a little space at this time to send my hearty greetings and good wll to all my old school mates, 1902 to 1910 inclusive and espec- ially to the Class of 1906. Our Board of Education The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But t-hey. while their companions slept, Were tolling upward in the night. As always the citizens of Dow City are desir- of getting their moneys worth. This holds true even in the election of members of the Board of Education. Just take Oliver Cook for an ex- ample. Isn't he all wool and at least a yard wide? 0118 Mr. Cook has served one term and glad'y ac. cepted another this spring. We don't blame him for doing this, for did you ever notice how many debutantes of the teaching profession visit the members of the Board when trying to determine if they should make their debut in the Dow City schools? Mr. Cook is always sought out and con- sulted as to their chances off success here. He seems to have the right idea about these affairs too. He started young for, Why wait until the brow is tinged with gray? reasoned Mr. Cook. Just a word of advice. Although you have the earlier start you will have to be careful for an. other member of the board has been seen around the school building calling on the teachers. A word to the wise is sulfficient. The Alumni Association is prou d to have a member of the Class of 1918 serving the community so well and capably as Mr. Cook is. He has gained a reputation for his splendid work and broad-mind- ed ideas. Such people are an asset to every school. Three cheers for Mr. Cook! We hope he stays with us always. We wonder lf anyone could serve others in more lines of activity than J. Louis Buss, a. mem- ber of the Class of 1921, and the youngest members of our Board of Education. Many and varied were future while still in school, such a career as is opening the predictions off his but no one imagined for him at present. We were always sure he would be a farmer, and that he is. ln addition to the duties off assessor last time questioned his motive, learned what it was. this work he assumed year. No one at that but since we have His latest venture is selling life insurance for the Des Moines Life and Annuity company. Wasn't he clever to engage in a business th-at enables one to find out 'how much property an individual has so he can follow up with a policy valued at several thousands for the unsuspecting victim? We are wise now. However, when a person proves his skill in working successfully at such diversified tasks the alumni not only echoes the praise that is offered by the entire community, but extends a cordial hand in congratulation and thanks for upholding the Alma Mater's sincere faith and confidence that it hopes to find living in every graduate of Dow City. In that famous metropolis of the world. New York City, a large hotel conspicuously displayed a huge sign reading Open all night. A few feet farther on a restaurant matched the -hotel sign with one that read, We never close. Sandwiched in between tlhe two was a small shop owned by Sam Long, who would not be outdone. S0 he painted a sign across t-he front of his establish- ment as follows, Me wokiee too. In flhis community we have another person who can't be outdone whether you are telling stories. farming, directing school affairs, or what not and that it ........ we'll let you guess. Who might be found relating the following incident to a group? So your name is George Washington, mused the old lady.
