1 ----mamammmm---------------- mmm—mmm The first 'hich I shall speak of is the one who is going to let experience be his teacher, he is not willing to profit by others mistakes. Experience may be a good teacher bat Experience is also a hard teacher. This man who sto- s his schooling with high school is content to erect his house of life on the unsteady found ation he nov; has. In putting up his house he has to learn by making mistakes and so he has many setbacks and disappointments, nevertheL less let us say he completes his house ' hich is to IF! be his life throughout the years. He has completely used v:hat little foundation he possessed. But as time goes on he find s that to be happy he needs to add to his house. Then he :ill realize that he should have had a broader and larger foundation. Next comes the fellor who is not content with the foundation afforded by his high school-ng. He goes on and enlarges his found ation and while doing this, acquires experience which will assist in the construction cf his house. Of course if he knows what he is about there will be no disappointments and more happiness. As he goes on he adds to his ouse because he has ample foundation to permit it. Whether we be one or the other type, we are happy and proud for the start we now have. We thank the teachers fcr their guidance in helping us put up j-vm the first few ties of our lives. In doing so they Ml have started the ball of knowledge rolling with such jUl .omentum that it would be difficult indeed to off- - 1 et it. RVD. Tjr rjrM'jP Jzrir ai

It wasn't many years ago We entered Flemington High, Just a bunch of green freshies, So small, scared and shy. The upper-classmen greeted us V i th lipstick and with cheers. But when we learned our way around. We laid aside our fears. As sophomores, we decided, ”We'll give some orders now. So when the freshmen wondered in. We ordered them-------and How'.'.I We finally ranked as Juniors, Upper-classmen now at last. Wi th a happy eye to the future- Fond memories of the past. From Ivanhoe 'down to Macbeth , We've had to gaunt our way through. So Flemington High, We'll say good-by With all regrets to YOU......... Juanita Weaver ! i a
