WILLIAM WOODRUFF In Memoriam For Mr. Woodruff, the end of his services came as many of us had anticipated—while he was on duty. As we have seen him work about the school during these last years, becoming a little more gray, his step less sure, most of us have had a feeling that he should call a halt to his heavy responsibilities and spend his remaining years more at ease. This was not, however Mr. Woodruff’s desire. It is a happy thought that Mr. Woodruff’s fine qualities had been recognized and appreciated by the teachers while he was still in service. Plans had been completed by the faculty to observe his birthday (the day following his death) by a surprise dinner and a gift as a token of appreciation. Our only hope now is that he did understand in some degree the high feeling regard we had for him. He was not merely a caretaker of the plant—he was a co-worker in the conduct of the school program.

CLASS OF 1943 Presiden t—D v ig ht Smith Vice-President—Raymond Wii.i.iams Secretary-Treasurer—Norma Jean Sandy 'l'he days spent here were not all fair, For some were tilled with tears. But each mistake we clfrmced to make Has helped us through the years. We’re thankful for inspiring aid, Received while working here. “Onward” will our watchword be. Whether stationed far or near. Kindnesses we’ll not forget Our teachers ever show. We tried to reach the goal they set— How hard they’ll never know. For four long years we’ve learned to work, To think and concentrate. These traits we know will conquer fear And mold a better fate. Our Alma Mater points the path Through weather bright or drear. And through the night, into the light, We follow signals clear. bor life is sweet though life is earnest— We’ve tried to do our best By gaining honor, hope and courage, Perfect symbols of G. H. S. We’ll ne’er forget you, G. H. S., When from your halls we turn. We’ll make the grade in every test, Defeat we’ll always spurn. So to our class of forty-three: Should we go far or near, We’ll reach the land of fondest dreams If we but persevere. urz Page Ten —Gerai.dine Lawrence, ’43.
