PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE ! With the opening of the new semester there will be missing at Garfield the faces of one hundred seventy-three boys and girls who are now our most prominent and act ive members. They will have taken the upward step that will place them in the ranks of the alumni, and will bring that great body of enterprising and capable young men and women to a grand total of four thousand seven hundred eighty-nine. Our Garfield family is never too large to prevent our taking a deep interest in the welfare of our former students. We bid Godspeed to our graduates of December, 1932. You have been a co-operative, ambitious, satisfactory class. May the happy holiday season which follows your Garfield graduation be an introduction to a happy life of wholesome accomplishment, service and satisfaction. — D. L. Hennessey. MESSAGE FROM G. S. A. PRESIDENT For the past semester I have had the honor of being President of the Garfield Student Association, that splendid organization which has helped to make Garfield the well-conducted school it is today. It has been a great privilege to serve the school in this capacity, and I sincerely express thanks to the teachers and students for th ir whole-hearted cooperation. I believe that many worth while things have been accomplished, and I hope that my successor will find the position of G. S. A. President as pleasant and satis- factory as I have found it. To the next G. S. A. President I wish all the luck in the world. I know he will strive to do his best for Garfield. For the rest of the graduates as well as myself I regretfully say good- bye. Yet we are happy, for we have just completed another lap in that great race, in which we all secured a good start, and in which we are all winners. We will always look back with pleasure to the three happy years that we spent at Garfield. — Jack Willis.

3n Eememfarance Hark — ivhat say they} — rumored fears and sighs, And bended heads and whispering and tears; Grave news has come to silence mirth and joy, And shoiv a glimpse of God ' s inevitable; To teach gay youth a lesson all must learn — Life ' s quiet ceasing in the arms of death. That tranquil rest, ere noontide ' s glotc was past. Has laid its peaceful hand upon the heart Of one we know, and rev ' rence, and respect. Our teacher, with a constancy serene. Has crossed the Great Divide, to meet the King. Lament and weep, that nevermore our eyes Shall light, in daily pleasure at the sight Of one who guided us, and ivas our friend. Oh, mourn the early loss of one we loved, But, through your tears, forget not gratitude That ive have happy memories of her. The e ' er-recurring thoughts, of pleasant days That are forever gone, yet ever nigh. Locked in your mem ' ry ' s golden treasury. Lament, and yet be glad that painlessly, In perfect peace, she left our ivorld of strife; Rejoice, that she has triumphed o ' er the grave. And now she liveth, more abundantly — Oh, shout triumphal anthems for she lives! — Frances Colby, High Nine.

October four- teenth they gave a dance in the cafeteria and had some refreshments. The Parent-Teacher Association entertained The Dads ' Club November ninth. Also there was the school orchestra, A Capella Club, and the Boys ' Glee Club. The Dads ' Club gave a theatre party November third and fourth at the United Artists. The name of the play was The Cabin in the Cot- ton. It was a success and the proceeds went for a payment on the bleach- ers. The officers of the club are Mr. Sandner, President; Mr. Ray, Vice- President; Mr. Williams, Secretary. The P.-T. A. has always been a dependable and helpful organization. This term its numerous activities have aided the school more than ever. The booth which they had on Library Day was very profitable. The Stu- dent Aid Fund has increased a great deal and many of the needy have been helped. The meetings have been carried on by the officers, who have served ably. The volley ball teams were given a bean feed by them which was enjoyed by all those present. An entertaining party was the closing event of a very full term. The students wish to thank the P.-T. A. for their assistance and helpfulness in making Garfield a better school. — LaVerne Burgess, High Nine.
