6 ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL RECORD The liaf f ' icr the time, the quieker it passes. TIME flies and draws us with it. The nionient in which I am speakin-? is already far from me. Time ' s waters will not ebb nor stay. That illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolls rushingly on, swiftly and silently. Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. Never put off till tomorrow ichat you can do today. Four years — four little years that have raced by with the speed of a cyclone — four drops of time, we, an army of 700 seniors, have spent together. Have we rriade good use of the time that has been ours? Have we been capitalizing every priceless minute? It not, where do we stand? Is it too late? No, it is not. To those who have wasted their time, it only means harder work and study, more pep and vim, and wiser acting. There are many of us, are there not, who, in our leisure time, sat in seclusion, thinking first of the past, then of the future. For years we have always awaited the summer vacations. In those summer days we went swimming, played baseball, or went to camp. But this year it seems dififerent. As usual, the sum- mer draws near, but we do not await it like past years. This summer we graduate ; we bid farewell to our Alma Mater, good old English High School. Of course, there are many of us who have already de- cided to continue our studies at college. But what of those audacious and ever-trying graduates who can- not af?ord as yet to go to college? Like the early fathers of our country they must face and plug the same impenetrable barriers. This summer, many of them will have to find work in order that they may heap enough savings to enter a higher institution of learning next fall. But to those who have made no attempt in their studies, who have made no use of the golden, priceless hours of school — to these unpre- meditated, unwise scholars, there befalls a colossal, mountainous barrier, larger than ever, to smear and break down. Study they must, harder and harder. To our athletes, sprinters, ball hawks, and stadium celebrities, we wish barrel-loads of success ; but they, too, must be wide awake at all times. Remember Harry Jones, who was heralded as one of the greatest ball carriers in professional football, and whose press clippings were more conveniently weighed than measured? To make a long story short, he never amounted to anything; for, as we all know, press clippings, at the present time, are worth less than a dime a ton. Years ago, a wild-running halfback whose name had been screaming in headlines, could sell his grid glory at a tremendous price. But that occured in the days when stock quotations looked like telephone numbers — the days when star athletes had jobs awaiting them. But nowadays grid glory or stadium cel- ebrity is worth less than a two-cent stamp. As one noted sportsman remarked recently: As for the present, a college degree, a football reputation and a nickel will get you a cup of cof?ee any place, but— make sure you have the nickel! So, fellow seniors, we are leaving the land of dreams and are entering the land of reality. The ro- mantic high school days must give way to the realities of the outside world. Emotion grips us, mystery thrills us at the thought of what awaits us in this outside world. You are being granted a great responsi- bility when you graduate from English High School. As yet, we do not fully realize the importance of being English High School graduates. True, our blood tingles when we hear of the success and accom- plishments of our preceding alumni. But only time, rolling on unceasingly, will actually prove how really fortunate we are in graduating from the English High School. We are leaving the school that has been our home for the past four years. We are leaving its cosy fireside to go out into a cold world. Perhaps no other class has ever plunged into a world colder and more cruel than is the Class of ' 35. But we are not upset in the least over this. The spirit of English High will kindle within us and. in spite of what fate has in store for us, we will be warm and hopeful. Whether you enter college or go into business, it is your duty to maintain the School ' s reputation. You developed a school spirit while here. Now you are leaving, and something more than school spirit is desired of you. Dear old Alma Mater wants school love, and school love we shall give her. As we leave, let us not forget that grand English High School motto: Be Clean! Be Courteous! Be Square! Fareivell! a zcord that must be, and hath been — A sound which makes 2is linger; — yet — jareivell! AmADEO J. FULCINITI, ' 35. Herbert Lipsitz, ' 35.
