Manners, customs, and time may change, but true friendship never does. It stands forever on a firm foundation. A friend doesn ' t have to test your hon- esty. He takes your faults and virtues as a part of you. He tries to keep you out of trouble, but when you ' re in, he doesn ' t run. Most anyone will help you when your broke, or facing woe, but a friend does something more than that. He will get you back to meet a fresh attack, not fearing to tell you what a fool you ' ve been. Everyone has some- one who is faithful through thick and thin — that ' s a friend. STRIVE ADVANCE SUCCEED STRIVE Strive to reach a worthy goal. Buckle into your task, for victory is never cheap. You can not always ask for commonplace and easy duties. Have courage to bear the pain of hard labor and have patience to wait the while you are slowly climbing toward success. If you ' re afraid of a blow and the sting from it or if you ' re not game enough to keep on fighting when you tire, how are you going to gain your goal? You can ' t. Push through rain and snow just as you would through sunshine. That ' s striving. Never let pleasure mean more than your task, but have faith when your strength seems vain, and then move on. ADVANCE Advance. That ' s the next long, big step toward success. You can ' t be afraid of a jolt or a jar or a set-back. If you are, you ' ve no chance to win. You can not afford to be embittered by defeat, for nothing will retard your ad- vancement more than that. Whatever you set out to be in a trade or profes- sion, don ' t stop until you are rated among the best. You who are to ad- vance will not be indifferent to your task, but you will strive to do your best. The greater your spirit rebounds from some blow, the greater is your will to be somebody here, the more you will work to strive and advance ; then you will know a greater success. SUCCEED Succeed. To you who proved your mettle comes the victory, and you give great sighs of relief. Go back over the first steps toward your triumph. Count the many miserable hours you spent; the times you almost gave up until finally you learned the meaning of suc- cess — a little more to do. You finish some old, hard duty only to meet a new one, some larger goal to pursue. MONDAY SENIORS!

SENIOR BOOSTER j®i S S S S ? M l ? J M C ? S J l M i ? C ? M M ? S S S Class History By Irene Bowers Just as everything, struggling for existence, must pass through definite stages of development and come forth a living example of success, so our class of June ' 24 entered upon its first year — a year of difficult undertakings and many ohstacles, especially the disdainful glances from the lofty seniors. After sur- viving this period, we entered upon our next lap towards our goal which high school education assists us to reach. Here it seemed that some of us would fall by the wayside before we had attained that which we had set forth to accomplish, but our foundation, which we had laid in our first year, enabled us to arrive at that long coveted Seniordom. October 23, 1923. Realizing that In union there is strength, we organized out- class and elected officers who were John Wit, president ; Helen Harmeson, vice- president ; Ruth Emigholz, secretary ; Thomas Neale, treasurer, and Irene Bowers, historian. Since every organization is accustomed to have some distinguishing emblem, the next class meetings were occupied in selecting our class insignia. October 10. A pretty shade of sapphire blue was elected for the class color. October 17. The standard senior class pin was accepted for our class pin. October 24. We chose an attractive, unusual design submitted by Milton Davidson for our armband. October 31. The Ophelia rosebud was chosen for our class flower. November 21. Strive, Advance, Succeed became our motto. February 5, 1924. This date marks the beginning of the new semester in which the class play was our first project. February 20. A get-together meeting was held in the girls ' gym for the benefit of our forty new class members. February 26. The mid-year election, or re-election, was held. The results were John Wit, president ; Helen Harmeson, vice-president ; Ruth Emigholz, secretary. March 5. Tom Neale was re-elected treasurer. The elections for the giftorian and willmaker were held. They resulted with Donald O ' Kelley, giftorian, and Vernon Cristee, willmaker. March 11. The National Studio was decided upon to be our photographer. Claude King was elected editor-in-chief of our Senior Booster. Our future was entrusted to the hands of Mary Hill, prophet. In addition, we decided that our class banner should be the one so artistically designed by Frederick Fish. March 28. One of the best senior enterprises ! The First Lady of the Land was presented and was quite a success. April 30. Our Ivy Day program was given. Although the weather man inter- fered a little too much, the exercises in the auditorium were successful, and the party — well, the weather man had nothing to do with it. June 3. Class day ! Paul Case — Why is the train al- Hershel Seamon — What did you ways late? mean by telling Martha I was a fool? Conductor — What are the waiting Clara Mahr — Heavens, I ' m sorry, I rooms for? didn ' t know it was a secret!
