This year we are presenting a memory book, the 1933 Leydenite. This little book, of which Ruth Bade is editor and Miss Benallack faculty adviser, is symbolic of progress. We, the staff, are pioneers, striving to make this annual, one of the first of its kind, a book that will remain near and dear to you for many years to come. As you turn the pages of this book you will find the pictures of the faculty and board members, individual pictures of the seniors, and group pictures of the other three classes. School Life, which is supervised by Franklin Masson, assisted by Evelyn Hansen, takes you through Leyden during a school day. Then come Organizations, in which we guide you into the routine of club work, its purposes, and its benefits. Lenore Kolb, assisted by Louise Sent, is in charge of this division. Athletics are under the sponsorship of Earl Pankonin and Opal Taylor. Virginia Brinke is our financial manager and timer Steinmetz, assisted by Frieda Hamann, Vivian Jenkinson, Allan Fisher. Roger Burrill and )ames Feeney, is in charge of the advertising. And so, dear readers, the stage is set. The program has been outlined and the characters introduced, bit back in vour easy chair and prepare to enjoy cur play, the enactment of life at Leyden High Three

To the spirit of Progress, we. the staff, dedicate the 1933 Leydenite. All through the ages this spirit has encouraged and impelled man to accomplish greater and nobler things. As we look back upon the progress of the past, we note with awe the deeds accomplished through the inspiration of this spirit. The weak have fallen in the dusf of circumstance, but the strong have fought on, dauntless and unconquered. Undismayed by disaster and unchanged by turn of fortune, they have marched forward into a vast realm of new thoughts and ideals. We attempt, in our small way, to emulate them. We are striving to build on the foundations they have laid, struggling to follow in the footsteps of these pioneers o new lands, which they have dared to enter; and endeavoring to press on into the spaces of which man has dreamed. We hope that the coming generations will be guided b) the light of this .same spirit, that they of the future may have the power to take definite steps towards a new and better era. In this spirit, we hope that the future students of Le -den High School may have the power to reap the abundant harvest of knowledge; to climb higher into the radiance of the light of understanding; and to achieve that which is most desired by all.
