FOREWORD TOYOUS moments — sad moments have 93 been ours at Leyden, but all have had their part in building an experience so fine that it will ever influence our lives. We have known the satisfactions which come with success and the disappointments bred by failure, and in all we have learned to live and work with others. The 1931 Maroon and White commencement issue has been compiled in the hope that these experiences and friendships which have meant so much will never be forgotten, and that the spirit of L. C. H. S. will ever be an inspiration to us. THE STAFF.

Pape Five Looking Ahead IT may be said that the growth of an institu-1 tion is measured truly by the development of an appreciation for its work, rather than by the number of students who daily cross its threshold. The few years Leyden Community High School has served its constituents have attested the fact that the institution is finding a b:oad-ening sphere of influence and a corresponding demand that it ever strive to give its utmost in opportunity for life training. The vision of this school, to-day, is comprehensive of those things that will make the lives of those who learn happier, purer, richer, and more adaptive. We should not cloud that vision oy personal prejudice or selfishness, remembering that where there is no vision youth can but perish. A community can have no greater memorial to its intelligence, its high ideals, its love of home, its love for children, its patriotism, and its spirit of progress, than its public schools. Let us make Leyden the best. S. E. BAKER. S. E. BAKER Farewell MEXT year Leyden will miss the cheerful presence and untiring service of Miss Grace Fetherston. She has been a teacher at Leyden just one year, bub in that time she has impressed students and faculty members with her unusual ability for fiiendly leadership. Both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities her efforts were constant and invaluable. Under her direction and management the glee clubs gave a successful operetta and made a reputable showing at the conference music festival. She carefully and patiently trained the casts who presented the enjoyable junior and senior class plays. She planned and managed the hilanous and lucrative carnival. And last, but not least, she was the guiding spirit end faithful sponsor of the Maroon and White. Leyden thanks you, Miss Fetherston, and wishes you well! GRACE FETHERSTON
