On commencement night v c shall assume the nicn of graduates v ho have deserved well the diplomas they received. Our brave appearances will attest our willingness to become r part of that vtst world outside the protective walls of the school building. When we have left school, however, I an sure we will carry v ith us the remembrance of chains, faculty, and enjoyable tines spent at G. H. S, Lena Halo EPITAPH We, the class of '42, Leave you now in gowns of blue. Our advice we leave behird. Calmly assured you will not mind. Now, you freshmen, don't use guile. Do not be ofraid to smile. Life has just begun for you. Look at us--end follow thru. Sdphot '€3, you have two more years. Don't let there be many tears. Stop and think--two years ere few Of all the years ahead of you. ell, now, juniors, you ere next. Step right up and don't be vexed. We moved on, left room for you. Stick it out and you'll get thru. All the teachers heave a sigh As they wave us all good-bye. And we give them all our thanks For having patience with our pranks. Pauline Sanders yy ' ft ft ft » ?• •{ fttfn rtf ' '■
