FACULTY t To 'rms GRADUATING CLAss: You, the Class of 1939, are about to complete your role in the ever-shifting drama of high school life. You are the fifth of such groups who have helped to build in your community a great school, Your class has played its part-and a very important part-in this pioneer work, and its contribution will always be remembered and ap- preciated. You have helped to strengthen growing traditions and initiated new policies. For this fine service, your true loyalty and the splendid friendly relations over a period of six years, you have my undying gratitude and personal good will. Garden City salutes you as you leave for college, for business, for adult life. The school has given you of its best in opportunities for scholarship, leadership, service and character building. lo you the school has passed something of its im- perishable spirit, and your teachers have left upon you the influence and guidance of their splendid personalities. Before you lies the great adventure of life, Meet it like true men and womenk-loyal, honorable, unafraid. For you, l believe the real challenge of life will be whether or not, as the years pass, you maintain in full vigor a genuine intellectual curiosity. To meet this chal- lenge, l wish for each one of you an abiding intellectual interest and a habit of mind which will carry over into adult life an enduring craving for the ever widening of your horizon as well as the constant deepening of your hold on knowledge and truth. This will lead to a nobility of character which overtops all title, caps all careers, crowns all virtue-a quality that gives weight and worth and moral dignity to the soul, With best wishes for your success and assurance of continued interest and efforts in your behalf, l salute you, the Class of IQKSQ. -I. C. Eight

PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSUCIATIUN THE PARENT-TEACHERs' ASSOCIATION has always proven itself an invaluable friend to the school. Yery few high schools are fortunate enough to have the loyal aid and service of such an organ- ization, and the rapid progress of education in Garden City can be largely credited to its efforts. From time to time the P.T.A. has furnished medical aid to students, donated instruments to the orchestra and books to the library. lts MRS. LADD greatest achievement, however, is the yearly musical show which raises money for scholarships to worthy students The co-operation and interest of the P.T.A. will remain one of our brightest memories, and the senior class of 1939 here wishes to extend its thanks and apprecia- tion for invaluable assistance. MRS. LADD. MEN'S ASSUCIATIUN FOUNDED IN 1934, the lVlen's Association has grown steadily in size and importance, helping to promote interest and enthusiasm for sports. Not only has it provided the athletic department with equipment and financial support, but it has taught us to realize the importance of physical as well as mental training. MR- GM-LAGHER At the end of the fall season the Associa- tion sponsors the annual football-soccer ban- quet. The dinner is attended by enthusiastic boys with their fathers in order to acquaint the parents with their sons' athletic development and to give awards. For the steady interest and generous sup- port the Association has shown us, and for the innumerable benefits it has provided through athletic facilities, we wish to give our sincere thanks. MR.
