FIRESIDE CHAT I wish to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my staff for the unfailing courtesy and continued willingness shown in preparing material for the yearbook; to Mr. Miller and Mr. Skaden, counselors of the Press Club, who read and criticized the material; to Miss Ginieki of the Commercial Department for repeated courtesies and services; and to other kind friends for generous help and valuable suggestions. I am indeed grateful. Also, I wish to thank, on behalf of the Senior Class, the faculty advisors who have lent us a helping hand. Their guidance was wise and it helped us over many of the rocky paths which formed the road to the successful culmination of our high school careers. To the Juniors, I would like to say: “Listen to the words of those who have gone before you and profit by them.” “Together, ambition and consideration form an excellent formula for success. Set your eyes on your goal and strive untiringly for it but at the same time be mindful of the rights of others and the courtesies expected by them. Remember; ’Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.” Soon we the “Class of 1947” will find ourselves taking an active part in the activities of a changing world There is no doubt in our minds that a new age is being born. We could easily look at the condition of the world today and become discouraged. But we must not do this. We must accept the challenge presented to us and go forth with a will and determination that will help to bring everlasting peace to the world. Jon N- Can AVAN, Editor
