E l l l w Q A Message OUR years ago, high school was only a dream to all of us. Now we know that dreams come true. In those first days when We were unen- lightened Freshmen, we stood before the forbidding portals of Eastern with eyes opened wide with awe. As we wandered down the long impressive halls, and timidly tried to find our way up and down the unfamiliar stair- cases, our sadly untutored minds were bewildered at what was before us. But slowly .with the friendly help of the faculty and older students, we overcame our timidity and struggled on. 4 To some of us, high school has meant hard work. We have met such monsters as Mathematics, History, Economics, Civics, Biology, and English on our way. We had to study from morning to night to make the grade, literally driving into our stubborn heads all the ideas which were taught. To many of us, too, the achievement of our ideal has meant sacrifice. We have lived through a period of troubled economic conditions which threatened our very homes. Most of us have felt discouraged by the spirit of the times. But as we have experienced the more serious side of life, we also have known the pleasures of the happy days at high school. The proms, class meetings, boat rides, baby day, and many other activities have helped us to enjoy these four years. We have formed many friendships on our way, we have gathered many memories. We can but close our eyes in future years, and easily remember the bright and gay personalities who cheered the drab days, and made brighter the sunny ones. F or me, days at Eastern have meant more, much more, than just school days. The friends who have become dear to me, the privilege of serving as your president, the afternoons spent in work on the year book, have all been part of my rich experience at Eastern. But now that the time of parting has come, let us shed one tear and brush it away with all the happiness we have known. Let us remember our work together, the thrilling moments, the happy friendships, and let us meet unafraid the challenge of the future. May you all, when you look back on these happy days, remember me as your personal friend and companion. DOROTHY KOEHLER
