8 Usually thoughts of High School are left behind as Com- mencement ends and are not brought back to memory until, the gang gets together several years later. However, if we go back now, and think of all the things we did in high school, all the classes, activities, all the pleasant thoughts of school, perhaps they will be more clearly impressed upon our memory. But even though we remember all the joys of these three years, we should also leave room for one other thing. Room for the memory of all our mistakes. This is probably the greatest contribution to our lives from school. It gives us concrete examples of what to do and what not to do. If we just pause a moment and collect all these mis- takes, those we made as a group as well as those we made in- dividually. we will be better prepared to face either college or work. It has been said that high school is the first heat in the race of life-so we should consider the first heat as a place to adjust ourselves so that we may do better in the years to come. ' To those of the lower classes, we suggest that they im- prove their time by avoiding the errors which we were guilty ofg that they use their time to better the school and its activities instead of using it for things which do not improve the school. If this spirit can be impressed upon the students as they enter high school it is bound to improve our class standings as well as improve the type of students graduated. For two years we watched other Seniors, as they carried on the traditions and activities of their class. We were for- tunate at being able to finish our course and to take our places with those who have gone before. But each and every one seems changed. We all hate to leave. But, even as we go out, the school goes on and we leave to you the task of con- tinuing and perpetuating the traditions and memories which have flourished within these walls. We leave it to you. Carry on! A A D THE ORACLE .V,.F'ov'd A CHAPTER ENDS A chapter of our life closes! A goal is reached! The chapter, perhaps, has been a drudgery to some, yet despite that, it is more than safe to say that the time will never come when we will look back at our high school days as a completely unhappy chapter. But now that that chapter has closed and become the memorial past - what do we look forward to? What is there to look forward to? There is nothing but happiness and success to look forward to if we strive persistantly to attain them. Hang on even when defeat seems inevitable -- and success will ultimately follow - as there remains but a thin line separating the two, success and defeat. The Class of '35 has probably several who will achieve fame in some line or other. It will be interesting to know who they are in the future. One cannot but concede that the class has everything a graduating class should have -- ambition, pep and, last but far from least, ability. A large number of the class will go to college. But the most are not as fortunate -- yet the cloud of depression is fading so their outlook is not hopeless. As every class before it -- the Class of '35 will scatter to the four winds. Few will go to the same colleges, few will come in further contact in the business world -- yet those few who do, will doubtlessly continue high school comradship. For the most part, however, the high school chapter ends with a finality that is complete. Yet, there will always remain happy memories, the old year book of the Class of '35, the cards you exchanged and the letters you earned. They stay as part of your history. Yes, time passesg chapter ends but there always remains before you - the future - and in our pursuit of happiness let's always strive to do the right and never stop even after success. Some people view graduation as sort of a mournful oc- casion but not the Class of '35, We stand ready to do our part. As fOr the future - Let it come! p A. SWANN, '35
