ob Y 48 deavours. We shall never forget your interest in the work of the Evening Schools and in its students. As We pause to thank you, we also say fare- Well. Mr. Gish, our Principal, Miss Mendelsolm, our Faculty Advisor, Members of the Faculty: To you we extend our sincere appreciation of your untiring efforts to guide us in our proper course. Ott times We have become wearied, paused, and then with renewed effort looked forward to Commencement. Through all our future problems and difliculties we shall endeavor to make Evening High proud of our class. In behalf of my classmates, I bid you farewell. Fellow Students: A year ago today We were in your places, dreaming of the day when We would graduate. May you persevere in your studies so that some day you too may reach the goal for which you are striving. We shall miss you but shall re-live in memory the pleasant associations We have formed here, Classmates: The joy of a dream realized is mixed with sadness, for every rose has its thorn. Tonight we stand at the crossroads, each going to seek success in his chosen field. If we but keep before us our motto- In living learn and in learning live, We shall not seek in vain. I now take this opportuni- ty to bid each of you a fond farewell. e LOVE IN A PRINT SHOP May I print si kiss on your lips?

50 OO t or What Constitates a School Dear Parents, Teachers, Schoolmates and Friends: As representative of the class of June 1935, it is my duty as Well as my happy privilege to welcome you to our commencement exercises. This night marks the culmination of a rather long and arduous jour- ney, but We rejoice now in the success of our endeavors. To you, our parents, and to the members ofthe Board of Education, we give the credit for making this occasion possible. It is through your sacrifices and hard work that we are accorded this privilege of splendid education. In our system of education we have institutions of learning called schools. Let us consider tonight, for a few moments, what things consti- tute a true school. Very little thought is given to this question by the average person unless he cherishes a hope that someday he may attend a so-called school of higher learning. As we tonight are in this position let us pause for a few minutes and consider what the constituents of a true school are. At the first mention of a school several things come immediately to the fore of our minds. One possibly is the fame of its athletic teams and of the buildings erected to them. The fame of the half-back, the short-stop, or the stroke of the crew often far dershadows the scholastic ability of these same personages. Then the size of the enrollment of the school, the beauty of its cam- pus, the size and beauty of its buildings and the traditions which hover o'er them as a blanket will influence one in his selection of a school. There are others who will approve of a certain institution because it is attended by the wealthy and is heavily endowed by them. But these alone do not make a school, for these in themselves are not stable. The half-back, short-stop, and the men of the crew are soon for- gotten and others will take their places. The buildings will deteriorate and the wealthy people, possibly due to economic conditions or otherwise, may not aid the school. And what then? There is but one thing that can happen-the school will be discon- tinued and will fade into the past. But there are some things which are lasting. Let us together find out what they are. First, a true school has teachers who are capable of instructing those under their care. The desire of their lives is to be able to teach people how to get the most from life and from the successes of their pupils they receive their richest rewards. Secondly, a true school has pupils who are desirous of obtaining knowl- CLASS OF 1935 TI-IEKVL
