Again we say, as we always must of Shakespeare's statements, How True! In applying it to High School life, we lind that it is a well es- tablished fact that we go through four years of high school, never realiz- ing how much the school and its associations mean to us now and will mean in the future. Our class is leaving Wood River High School and embarking upon the sea of life. We all feel that we could have done better in our school work, or at least, should have. Studies, however, do not make up all of High School life. Four years of high school teach us the value of cooperation, proper judgment of others, broad-mindedness, and true class and school spirit. These things, if learned, make school life easier and build up our characters, fitting us for life out of school. Our class, always versatile in opinion, has proved Versatile in occupa- tion, also. We have become, embryonically speaking, teachers, clothing salesmen, chemists, and musicians. We find that no matter what one's occupation is, those qualities of cooperation, broad-mindedness, true judgment of others, and willingness to work, instead of letting George do it , are not only valuable but really necessary. We have also found that time passes. Our sincere hope is that those we leave behind us will stretch their imaginations far enough to try to always remember us pleasantly. -16.-
