inin The old building stands meditatively contemplating the past and the host of many students who have left its portals. The years have added the ivy to the walls. Its freshness but scantily covers the mellowness which spreads over the venerable old pile. Perhaps some feel that a new building is needed at this east end of the corridor. The time will come when this weatherbeaten structure will have to go. The memories which would be torn down with these old walls are such that they never could be replaced in our reveries by the new walls which might be built. So we love our old building as a treasured and mellowed relic of a romantic past.

The five minute bell. the rush for home rooms, the hurried departure for school - - The grumblings and rejoicings which tumble from the lips of students as they leave. Many sigh with relief as they think of leaving the confinement of school, and probably these same ones will gaze back longingly at the chattering group gathered around the always open door. Although it seems at times to be drudgery. we shall all miss the time when we were in the hubbub and the days of our busy school activity.

DEDICATION To you, the citizens of Findlay, for your unswerving loyalty to us in giving us our requisite number of school days, we dedicate this annual. We students appreciate this probably more than many people think, for to us this lengthened school year is not merely a method by which we may put in our time and slide through as easily as possible but it is something which all of us are deeply indebted for. Perhaps the seniors are especially grateful to you since it would have been impossible for them to have graduated if the school year had not been extended. No one better deserves the credit of keeping our schools open than do you, the citizens and that loyalty to school children which you have shown us will not be under- estimated by them. By our lengthened school term we have been able to do things which former classes have been able to do. Not only in scholarship but also in many activities we have been able to hold our own. We realize that these activities are an important part of our school life. Activi- ties have their place in school but they have not been emphasized as being the most important feature of school life by the Findlay Senior High School, for the teachers, the students, and you. the citizens, realize that the primary object of schooling is to get an education. This Findlay High School emphasizes above everything else and this is the reason we students are so proud of our school which, now, is on a high plane and the credit of its high position is due to those citizens of Findlay who could not sit idly by and see the decline of the school which has always been considered one of Find1ay's most powerful assets. Citizens of Findlay. we the students of Findlay High School offer humbly to you our deepest appreciation of this act which you have so kindly done for us. 42 , , IJQIFQL . , 0 I p :E ,lilllll f 1.
