UNE NINETEE O T FOREWGRD James M. Barrie has said that We have memories that We may have roses in December. Our CLASS RECORD is the book of mem' ories of happy moments, days, and years spent in more or less intimate association in and out of school with our classmates. If it is true that friendships formed in high school are more lasting than any formed in later life, then the preservation of the incidents here recorded will be increasingly cherished with the years truly the roses of graduation time will bloom in the December of our lives This is our hope'

UNE NINETEEN FORT To the Class of june, 1940: Your Committee has done well to invite Mr. Samuel N. Baxter to be its guest writer. You have chosen the tree as the symbol for your book, and no one could be better fitted than Mr. Baxter to write in keeping with this symbol or emblem.. For many years he has been interested in our parks and public squares, and all of the trees on the property of the city are in his care. No one could better know or more fully appreciate the significance of trees in the lives of men, nor the qualities which they portray. For many years also Mr. Baxter has been interested in this school and the boys and girls whom it serves. A loyal resident of Germantown, he has been vitally interested in its young people. Read his message carefully. ' la Principal. 9
