Four uf' Jqczluenllufe IN PRODUCING THE LEDGE The production of the Ledge has been good ex- perience for the whole staff. There are some places in our book which could be improved. However, we feel that we have presented a different type of book than ever before. Our aim this year was to construct this book, pic- tures and articles both, in such a way that an outsider who read it thoroughly would get a complete picture of Grand Ledge High School - its clubs, curricular activities and government. ln our work we have met many people and have had an opportunity to carry on business transactions that otherwise we would not have had for a few years. lt has been good business experience for us all.

LEDGE BE- YMPATHY. YOUR ENDLY Ehlht Ill' SCHOOL PROVIDES IXTY-SEVEN STUDENTS graduate from Grand Ledge High School on june I3, l94l. We are proud and happy to be graduates from a school like ours and why shouldn't we be? Grand Ledge High School has the highest rating possible, offers an extensive course of study, and has an excellent faculty. This high school is a member of the North-Central Association which gives its graduates a chance to enter college without an extra examination, providing, of course, their scholastic record is reasonably high. The school is also under the inspection of the University of Michigan. The course of study offered here covers everything needed for college preparation and many extra vocational subjects besides. Nearly each subject 'offers a social club or organization which you are cordially in- vited to join if you are studying that sub- ject. lt is the desire of this senior class to tell enough about our school and curricular activities so that if you are a student about to enter high school or a parent interested in your young people's school education, you may see the course of study offered by the Grand Ledge High School and have a chance to compare it with other schools and talk it over with other people. This is not done in a spirit of boasting but because we want parents to understand the courses that their sons and daughters select. To get a college preparation a student is required to have at least two majors and two minors. A major consists of three years of some subject. A minor consists of two A VARIED CURRICULUM years of a subject. Majors and minors are only attainable in English, mathematics, science, or foreign languages. Vocational subjects such as commercial work, home economics, music. art, athletics, shop and some agricultural subjects are not included in the College Prep course. This is a very important item to know when you plan your course of study. Another thing to make sure of is that you plan all four years at once. You may vary from your course but will be more apt to watch your majors and minors than you would by selecting each year as it comes. A student has free selection of his studies. However, it is required that a person take English for three years, one-half year civics and one-half year American history course in the senior year, and all boys must take two years of physical training. A person must take four subjects each year if he ex- pects to graduate in four years. He must have sixteen credits at the time he graduates. There are subjects that must be taken in order to take a certain subject in a higher grade. For example, in order to take the year of advanced algebra and solid geom- etry you must have had both algebra and plane geometry in former years. . ln high school we have the following courses offered: English, four years fin the third year you may choose between speech and American literaturel: mathematics, three years: history, three years: physics, one year: chemistry, one year: home eco- nomics, three years: Latin, two years: French, two years: farm crops and soils, one year: biology, one year: animal husbandry, one year: farm management, one year: typing, two years: bookkeeping, two years: commercial IZ, one year: consumers eco- nomics, one year: shorthand, two years: shop fadvanced woodwork, printing, archi- tectural drawing, machine drawing, and gasoline enginesj, music fvocal, orchestra, and bandl, and sociology and economics, one year. The major clubs and organizations in school are: French Club, Latin Club, Future Farmers of America, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, Home Economics Club, Dramatics Club, Fu- ture Craftsmen of America, Varsity Club, Commercial Club, Social lmprovement Club, Boys' Quartet, Girls' Sextet, Choir and Librarians' Club. Each club has quite a large enrollment and is a well organized group. We are proud of them. Here we should mention our athletic teams too, which deserve the highest praise possible for their outstanding records this year. However, we have our groups which are not, perhaps, considered clubs. The Ledge Staff and Annual Staff are groups se- lected each year to write, respectively, the school items for the Grand Ledge lnde- pendent and the high school year book. The Legislative Assembly, Student Council, Monitors and Court are organized for the purpose of helping to make rules and pre- sent the ideas of the students so that our school will be a self-governing body, for the students and by the students. We hope everyone who reads this item will, when finished, have a clearer idea of the courses, clubs, and standards of Grand Ledge High School. -THE SENIORS. Nine 'Q 'N Na i, I 'X S 7 L.

Under the system of Student Self--Government, the Student Council acted as a cabinet to Mr Sawdon. The Legislative Assembly, the Court and the monitor system accomplished much in further- ing student government. Among other worth-while projects, the Student Council gave money for one complete band uniform during the band's drive for new uniforms. The Student Council sponsored a number of high school parties, at a number of which the Dance Orchestra played. Several dances were held after the basketball games with students from the visiting school as guests. The Student Council wishes to thank the student body and faculty for helping carry on the system of Student Self- Government. LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY The Legislative Assembly, the law-making body of our school, has spent a busy year. The Senate, or upper house, consists of fourteen members-six seniors and eight juniors. John Klingensmith was President of the Senate: Betty Ann Felzke, Secretary. The House of Representatives, or lower house, has eighteen members which includes eight sophomores, eight freshmen, and two members of the faculty, Miss Wamsley and Miss Fuller. Charles Shane was Speaker of the House: Nancy Wilkinson, Clerk. The Assembly this year has worked out in some detail a very efficient hall monitor system, and during the spring months has had committees at work making suggestions for the improvement of our school. The Assembly has also sponsored a vocational survey of the community in an effort to determine how many jobs are open to graduating seniors and what the nature of those jobs may be.

GIRL RESERVES OFFICERS Dorothy Mae Watson - - - President Maxine Kingsley - - - Vice-President Mariorie Workincer - - Secretary Betty Ann Felzke - - Treasurer The Vear 1941 marks the sixtieth anniver- sary of the younger girls in the Y. W. C. A. As early as 1881, definite work with younger girls was being done by the Young Women's Christian Association. Our Girl Reserves got off to a good start this year with a membership of about 50 girls. In October the HisY and Girl Re- serve Conference Was held at Reid's Resort on Thornapple Lake. On the evening of November 13, the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves entertained their parents at a potluck sup- per, followed by an address by Mr. Glen Fry. Next came the Mid-Winter Conference at Flint, Michigan, which M. Graham and J. Rogers attended. The Mother and Daughter Banquet took place in May. HLY OFFICERS Phillip Clark ---- - - President George Padgham ----- Vice-President John Klingensmith - - - Secretary Ladd Hamilton - - - Treasurer Duane Crossette - - - Assistant Secretary The name, Hi-Y, represents a movement of high school youth who are members of the Young Men's Christian Association committed to a Christian purpose at work in the high school and in the community. Some of the Hi-Y objectives are to represent the Christian viewpoint, help integrate life's relationships, train independent men to function in a democracy, develop fellowship through all of our activities and help further the spirit of good will and world brotherhood. The Hi-Y purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform is clean living, clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship. The Hi-Y has been very active in the community and school this year. We have organized a Junior Hi-Y in the junior high school. Father and Son Banquets were held the first Monday in every month with many fathers attending. We have also had many swimming parties at the Y. M. C. A. building in Lansing. Twenty-one .XKJ K .Iwi .M f ig ,I A T. LIBRARIANS A very efficient group of librarians has been in charge of our library this year. Chief among these is head librarian, Annetta Bennett, who has full charge of the library and the borrowing and returning of the books. Each study hour has two librarians who release books for the hour only. These workers are also supposed to give informa- tion to students who have difficulty in finding research matter. This work is beneficial to the individuals, as it makes them acquainted with good reading ma- terial and authors. It helps in English and it helps socially as you meet many students in an hour of library work. The librarians have social get-togethers. The group is xun on the basis of a club. We wish to thank all the librarians for their fine cooperation. Twenty-two Librarians Third Row HD. Burnett. ll Niles. IR. Hetterley, B Gehlhaar, P. Challender. ham. D. M, Watson, B. A Felzke , L.

LEDGE NEWSPAPER STAFF The year 1940-'41 has been an unusually success- ful one for the Ledge Staff. Our efficient and resourceful editor, Win Bradley, has sustained the interest and effort of the staff remarkably well, and the whole staff can be proud of the tribute paid to him by the editor of the Grand Ledge Independent in his editorial column. Working with our editor were nine assistants: Margaret Cramer, Wallace Holmes, Geraldine Conner, Harris Kempf, Jeanne Bills, Marjorie Workinger, John Fitzgerald, Mary Alexander and Maude Alice Graham. Fourteen reporters, chosen to represent the various interests and classes of the school, also gathered news of innumerable activities in and about the school and strove to bring variety and originality into our columns this year. And when that ,40-'41 Ledge is put to bed I am sure we will all agree that it has been a good Ledge and the best staff ever. Second RowW'M. A. Gra- ln hof'T. A. Edgar, A. Ben- M. A. Graham. R.

OFFICERS Ronald Miller - - President Donovan Benjamin, Treasurer Dale Wheaton - Vice President Arthur Stobert - Reporter Billy Wagner - - Secretary Elbert Kelsey - Adviser The F. F. A. have just completed a very successful year, it being one of their most successful financial years since their organization. To start the year off, we held a very good Fall Festival. The boys who received the most points at the Festival were Lowell Barnes and Leonard Dayton. These two boys along with Arthur Stobert, Jack Snavely, and Gerald Roth, attended the Interna- tional Livestock Show at Chicago. HOME ECONOMICS OFFICERS Eleanor Shepard ----- President Patrecia Baxter - - Vice President Betty Ann Felzke - - - Secretary Mary L. Shepard - - - - Treasurer Jeanne Bills - - Honor Point Keeper Marguerite Guild - - Program Chairman Alma Werner ---- Social Chairman Adviser--Miss Jean Beukema The Home Economics Club, with Eleanor Shepard as presi- Ronald Miller attended the National F. F. A. convention and the American Royal at Kansas City. He also attended the State Leadership Training Camp at Pine Lake. During the summer a ramping trip was taken to Eight Point Lake by twenty members of our chapter. The Grand Ledge Chapter gave the Future Farmers degree to all greenhands of Eaton County on January 29. During the year we held a junk raid and used the proceeds to buy a new band uniform: we cooperated with the County Health Department in testing rural water supplies: we started a pig increase project: we established a chapter library: and we installed a new chapter at Sunfield. We held a very successful Parent and Alumni Banquet - about 130 attending. F. F. A. Emblem winners were: Clare Noecker, Bill Wagner, Dale Wheaton, Donovan Benjamin, Leonard Dayton, Lowell Barnes, Arthur Stobert, Jack Snavely, Gerald Roth, and Ronald Miller. dent, and under the guidance of Miss Jean Beukema, got off to a good start this year. We smrted off with a supper for all old members and at this meeting we decided to change our year's program a little. All the girls would have to earn so many honor points before they became full members of the club. Early in the fall about eight of the older members attended a district Home Economics Convention at Michigan State. The first of October we had a mixer to get new ilirls in- terested in the club. The Freshman girls were certainly in- terested in joining. Soon after this we entertained the F. F. A. at a party. The annual Christmas party was given for the little children. The Coaches' banquet and the annual F. F. A. banquet were prepared and served by the Home Ee. girls. The first of April we entertained the Portland Home Ee. Club. The year ended with the biggest event of the year fe the Award banquet and the installation of officers, combined with the Mother and Daughter banquet. This year had the longest membership list it has ever had. Twenty-three Dramatics Again the Dramatics Club pulled down high honors for a wonderful year. Under the direction of Miss Frances Winters, a new, but capable di- rector, the club maintained its high degree of acting and the two productions which were pre- sented during the year, went over with a pro- fessional touch, and were greeted with enthusiasm by our audiences. The play chosen for our fall production was Early to Bed-Early to Rise , a comedy in three acts by Wm. F. Davidson. It dealt with a family living in a Chicago apartment just off the El. The cast of characters was: Jeanne Bills as Abbie Fuller, Jerry Anderson as Dr-amatics Club Bobby Fuller, Betty Ann Felzke as Marion Fuller, John Fitzgerald as Everett Fuller, Maude Alice Graham as Spanky Minuti, Edward Bouck as Jim Griggs, Marjorie Workinger as Patsy Fuller, Geraldine Conner as Daisy Fairfax, Dick Hodge at Otto Kirschmeier, Raymond McConnell as Mr. Conkle, and Mary Alexander as Laura Mont- gomery. Maxine Kingsley acted as assistant di- rector, and Louis Merritt as business manager. Our spring play was, The Thirteenth Chair , a mystery in three acts by Bayard Veiller. The cast included Lorraine Morris as Helen O'Neil, John Klingensmith as Will Crosby, Mildred Milks as Mrs. Crosby, Louis Merritt as Mr. Crosby, Fourth RowfM. Kingsley, J. Rogers, R. McConnell, M.

Those initiated were Jerry Anderson, Mary Alexander, Edward Bouck, Maxine Kingsley, Kendall Smith, Jo Ann Flint, Lorraine Morris, and John Fitzgerald. We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to our faculty critics, Miss Fuller and Miss Gass. We are also grateful for the helpful assistance given by the art department, the music depart- ment, and the commercial department.

French Club OFFICERS Jeanne Bills ------ President Edward Bouck - - - Vice President Maude Alice Graham ---- Secretary Alex Funtukis ----- Treasurer Le Cercle Francais, under the able leadership of our new teacher, Miss Gass, and president, Jeanne Bills, has had an outstanding year in 1940-1941. The Initiation Banquet led the parade of events for the season. The new French students who wished to become members of the club were first required to learn certain important things about French history and also a few songs and dances. When this was accomplished, a scavenger hunt was held, followed by the banquet. The Mardi Gras, sponsored by the club with the cooperation of the other organizations, was perhaps the most distinctive project of the year. It was the second annual celebration of its kind ever to be held in Grand Ledge High School and proved to be even more successful than the preceding one. The year's activities were terminated by the an- nual Farewell Banquet for the Seniors. Social Improvement Club The Social Improvement Club was organized in order to help the students to make a better school along social lines. We had planned to teach those who wished to learn to dance. We also meant to teach good sportsmanship and etiquette. We elected as our officers: Jo Ann Flint ----- President Eleanor Shepard - - Vice President Mary Lou Nott - - Secretary-Treasurer We also chose a board of four members so as to get a wider viewpoint on the topics we brought up to discuss. Our board members were as follows: Lorraine Morris, Maude Alice Graham, Nancy Wilkinson, Shirley Marzean Twenty-seven Grand Ledge Band Has A n Outstanding Y e a r This year the band, under the capable lead- ership of its new director, Mr. Charles Yates, has been perhaps the most active organization in the school system. Starting the year off with a bang, they played and marched at all of the home football games, making many formations which showed a great deal of work and effort. Among the formations were the Hello , the block G , the Comet , the Horseshoe , an H honoring Hastings and Hillsdale, and a C honoring Charlotte. They added much needed pep to the team and the rooters. . Besides the football games, they added greatly to a number of Booster Day gatherings, and the Free Fall Festival. They also played a concert at Eagle. After the very active marching season was completed, a campaign for new uniforms was started. lt was decided that a series of con- Twenty-eight. Third Row-R.

The concerts proved to be a great success, featuring such guest artists as Mr. Albin John- son, Miss Betty Correll, Mr. Carlton Eldridge, and Miss Elizabeth Bush. The crowning event of the series, however, was the appearance of the band in their new uniforms at the third concert, February I9, l94l. The band has played at many outside con- certs, including the Olivet Band Festival, the Benton Harbor Blossom Festival and one at the School for the Blind, Lansing. The success of the band is due not only to the players but to the parents and townspeople who have cooperated and stood behind it as well. ORCHESTRA Although the orchestra this year was composed mostly of new talent, they have worked on some exceptionally fine music. Some of the music is as follows: Suite L'Artesienne - - Geroges Bizet Tales from Vienna Woods - Johann Straus The Sleeping Beauty - P. Tschaikowsky The Bohemian Girl - - M. W. Balfe Haldegungsmarch - - - E. Grieg Prelude from Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony - P. Tschaikowsky Merry Widow - - - Franz Lehar They were featured in a band concert, however the majority of their playing has been in smaller ensembles. These ensembles have been very pop- ular and the groups are always in demand. DANCEBAND This year's dance band has made great strides toward the establishment of what may some day become a real swing orchestra. Their Hrst public appearance was on October 31 at the Halloween celebration. After that, they played at many high school dances including those after the foot- ball and basketball games. Each performance showed a definite improvement and the Band has been in great demand. U Orchestra lTOPl Third Row-M. Morrill, D. Cain, Mr. Yates 1Directorb, A. Wells, R. Johnson.

BOYS' QUARTET GIRLS' SEXTET The boys' quartet, with only one new mem- ber, has been very active this year. They were invited to sing at many P. T. A.'s, clubs. and banquets, and having appeared once were urged to come back again. Two of the more important banquets were the Chamber of Commerce Banquet, and the annual F. F. A. banquet. The quartet was featured on a band con- cert program and added greatly to the suc- cess of the spring concert given by the vocal organizations on May 9. Although composed mainly of new voices, the girls' sextet has brought forth some ex- ceptionally fine music. They have made many appearances, at various clubs, churches, and P. T. A.'s, both rural and city. They sang at a Band Concert program and at the Spring Vocal Concert May 9th. Choir Fifth Row-K. Horner, J. Klingensmith, D. Crossette, A. Deuel, G. Wilson, J. Rogers, L.

The choir had an enlarged enrollment of sixty- five members, all of whom had to try out before they were admitted as regular singers. The choir made only two public performances during the year but were Very well received both times. The main event of the year was the Spring Concert held lVlay 9. Their singing showed much work and concentration on the part of the students and the Director, Miss Bush. Thirty-one Comets Are Co-Champions of Capitol Circuit League Starting out the season with three defeats, the Comets came through with a victory in the last five games. This enabled them to tie for the conference championship with Eaton Rapids, each team winning three and losing one. The only consolation the Comets have is that they trounced Eaton Rapids ffor the first time in many years, by a score of 20 to 6. Even when losing the first three games, the Comets showed that they had the ability and will to win, though they always seemed to come out on the short end of the score. ln- Thirty-two Football Team Fourth RowfL.

A great deal of the success of the team was due to the ability of the players to work together sacrificing individual glory for team glory. A large share of the credit also goes to Steve Szasz, for his able coaching. When going was rough, he always had a cheerful word of encouragement. Another noticeable characteristic of this year's team is the sports- manship shown by the Comets in every game in which they participated. We have gained compliments from many teams, because of this sportsmanlike conduct, and we believe that it is more important to get this kind of compliment for the school than to win games. At the conclusion of the season, I9 letters were awarded to: R. Winstanley, E. Green, T. Clark, E.. Bouck, L. Gates, A. Kane, D. Goodsell, W. Holmes, C. lmhoff, G. Wilson, J. Anderson, C. Shane, H.

Comets Win Basketball League Championship Carrying on from where the football champs left off, the Comets came through with a league record of nine wins and one defeat. This en- abled them to be the undisputed champions, which up to the last of the season, had been a tie with Charlotte. lt is a good thing Coach Szasz went to school with Lyle Rockenback, for it was his Howell team that beat Charlotte and enabled us to win the championship. A great deal of the success of the team was due to the cooperation and teamwork of every individual. Another big incentive was the will to win, which was exemplified through- out the season. We feel that this will to win was brought about by the improved school spirit, which was so noticeable during the basketball season. Three seniors will be lost to the team next year. They are Kwant, W. Holmes and E.. Nostrant. The loss of these three will be much more keenly felt than in football, for they composed the backbone of the team. Only two regulars are left and they are R. Winstanley and B. Carter. Of the reserves, those that have the best chance of breaking into next year's line-up are C. lmhoff, D. Good- sell, G. Gibbs, C. Dick, G. lVlcDaniels and T. Clark. The individual scoring honors went to Wally Holmes who scored 150 points in I4 games, for an average of better than I0 points per game, which is quite an achievement for any high school player. Thirty-five Sportsmanship At the conclusion of the football season the Michigan Oflicials Association met at a conference to elect new officers for the coming year. Another feature of the meeting was to select boys throughout the state who have exemplified sportsmanship and fair play in their respective games. Out of the 21 boys picked, one of them was Charles Imhoff. That is quite an honor to our school, for the selections were based on the whole state of Michigan and all classes of schools were in- eluded. We want to take our hats off to you, Charlie, for bringing our school this honor. It means more to our school to gain a reputation of good sportsmanship and fair play than to sacrifice those essentials for victory. We hope that this will set an example for the rest of the athletes as well as for the students. Senior Graduates Charles lmhoff Wally Holmes George Wilson Ernie Nostrant John Kwant Wally Holmes, letter win- ner in football, basketball, and baseball, was elected honorary captain of the football team, which tied with Eaton Rapids for the Capitol Circuit League Championship. He was the main cog on the football team as well as basketball team, being high scorer on the championship basket- ball team. He was given honorable mention on the all-state football team last fall. He was looked upon by his team-mates as a leader and he never let them down once. Added to the rest of his achievements was being appointed Vale- dictorian of his class. Thirty-six George Wilson, let- ter winner in foot- ball and baseball, will especially be missed in football, for he was one of the most ferocious blockers Grand Ledge ever had. A great deal of the success of the team was due to his hard playing and splen- did teamwork. Ernie Nostrant, letter winner in basketball, was elected honorary captain of the Cham- pion Comets. His leadership and aggres- siveness was largely responsible for his fine showing this year. He will be greatly missed next year for it will be hard to replace a player of his caliber. John Kwant, letter win- ner in basketball and baseball, will be greatly missed next year, espe- cially in basketball. He was half of the great guard combination that was largely responsible for the fine season the Comets had. cadets VARSITY CLUB OFFICERS President ----- - - - Wally H0.lmeS Vice-President and Secretary - - - George Wilson The Varsity Club is an organization made up of students who have made a major letter in any sport. Before one can become a member of this club he must take a rigid initiation from its members. A varsity man may be recognized by his pin, which entitles him to admittance to any home game free. This pin is his and no one else should benefit by it in any manner. The club has a set of rules which are enforced and some of its objectives are: 1. To promote sportsmanship throughout the entire school system. 2. To represent the school in such a manner that people will hear and know us as a school with a good reputation. 3. To uphold the school traditions and respect them. 4. To set an example of clean living, for our fellow stu- dents and associates. 5. To promote school spirit in all activities.

In every way we were made to feel that we had entered into the surrounings of military life. The predominance of red, white and blue in the decorations and the patriotic character of the music all added to the gala affair. Over our heads we saw a huge American Hag with blue streamers from it to the side walls. The side-wall decorations made us feel that we were surely in an army camp while the stage took us to sea with a battleship. The patriotic color scheme was apparent on the tables. The favors and pro- grams showed the red, white and blue-and so did the food we ate. The toastmaster, John Fitzgerald, introduced the speakers in a lively manner. Jerry Anderson welcomed the Seniors and Phillip Clark made the response. The other speakers, Duane Goodsell, Mary Alexander, Barbara Reynolds and Edward Bouck further elaborated on the patriotic theme. The music, furnished by Junior Class members who are in the band and choir, added also to the effectiveness of the program. After the banquet was finished and the tables were taken down, we had a de- lightful evening dancing. We Seniors certainly feel that the Juniors did a fine job and we take this op- portunity to express our thanks to them. We also thank the Sophomores who so capably waited on us. Now that one more Junior-.Senior Banquet is history we are happy that we have been a part of it. This pleasant evening will be one of our long cherished memories. CLASS MOTTO-To Strive, To Seek, To Find, and Not To Yield CLASS FLOWER-Violet CLASS COLORS-Green and White A History of the Senior Class When you pick up this year book in fifteen years or so, even if the dates aren't too authen- tic, if it makes you remember those high school days-class picnics. Junior-Senior banquet, skip day, May Breakfast,-and all the other things that you have mentally slid aside , then perhaps it is a good history and will have served its purpose. I'll bet the class of '4l couldn't be sure any longer whether that fall picnic we had way back in '37 came in September or October. Something that everyone does remember though-it rained! Not little tiny drops but just as if you were standing under the middle of Niagara Falls. Then right in the middle of those semi-raw burgers , the class of '4l CI IOP strong, moved into the pavilion where those umeaniesn, Miss Fuller and Miss Blyth, insisted upon giving us the first in a series of ten easy lessons in How to step properly on your partner's feet while dancing ! Our class president that year was none other than Wally l-lolmesg the little man who started with a presidency and ended with a valedictory. Under the leadership of Dick Hodge, our sophomore year opened with the traditional picnic at the park followed later by a Christ- mas party in the gym. Financially that party was a flop , but for the tiny group present fl think there were fifteen of usj we had a grand time. As sometimes happens, out of a poor idea springs a good one so the next thing proved to be a real brain-wave . We re- vived the old tradition of a Freshman-Sophm more party which in recent years has turned out to be quite an affair. Yes sir, smart class! The great moment of our lives arrived when we elected Ardith Edgar president of the Junior class. She, and her carefully selected committees, led us through that Junior-Senior banquet. We fought the Civil War that night of May l 7, l940 with Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler in a Gone With the Wind theme. The decorations were beautifully done, as everyone present knows. The exquisite little water-fall, the old wishing well, the white picket fence, the stately old portals of Tara, everything down to the dainty umbrella favors were in keeping with the occasion. The vari-colored formals of the girls and the smart- ly tailored suits of the fellows as they left the gym that night truly looked like the l940 Scarletts and Rhetts. Every Senior year, I suppose, is different to every Senior class. There is something singu- lar about one's own last year-a certain spring twist given to the Senior Prom,-im vited guests. at the junior-Senior Banquet 1 gathering eggs for the May Breakfast-a new place to go for skip day. Then the Baccalaur- eate address,-and class night with the class play, will and prophecy. Finally, that very special night when the class of '4l stood to- gether for a final instant and heard those con- gratulatory words of lVlr. Sawdon and were given those long-sought diplomas .... Thus ends the class of '4 I, but for the people in that class it is only a beginning. -GERALDINE. CONNER.

Fifty-one Fifty-two Salutatory Fellow Classmates, Members of the Faculty, the Board of Education, Parents, and Friends: This is an outstanding event for us, the Graduating Class of l94l, and we cordially greet each and everyone of you-you who have helped to make our high school successful. Much of our success would not have been possible had it not been for the cooperation and continuous effort of the faculty and Mr. Sawdon. Also, many thanks go to our parents who have done so much to make our high school worthwhile. Some, it is true, will be able to continue our education while the rest of us will undoubtedly be seeking employment in various fields. Of course, some will follow the careers chosen when in school while the others will select new ones, perhaps far different from those previously considered. When we entered high school as Freshmen, we had our hopes and dreams of what we believed the future held in store for us. It seemed an interminable time until our graduation days would arrive. Now that they have arrived, in far less time than we believed could be possible, we are wonder- ing what the future really does hold in store for us. We discover that we, too, are facing the same old question that generations before us have had to face- What will tomorrow bring? just what will it bring? No one is certain, but whatever our lot or our destiny, it is our duty to be honest and worthy American citizens so that our friends may feel that their trust in us will be fulfilled. Many of our friendships formed in school will be memories after we leave these halls, diplomas in our hands. These memories will remain, however, when in later years we think back to the activities of our school days. We sincerely hope that we may face the future with confidence. l..et's keep looking forward with hope and faith! The future starts tomorrow! lt is for us to step forth and realize new achievements. --VIRGENE LIETZKE. Valedictory Tonight this graduating class finds itself on the threshold of a new life. We are now realizing the hopes and desires that we have cherished for many years. We have waited for this night so eagerly and yet we dreaded it, because from this time on we will be called upon to face new conditions and ways of life strange to us. Never before, however, have there been such opportunities for young men and women. Scientists have made discoveries that have opened new fields and with a large demand for skilled workers the older industrial businesses are experiencing a boom which will create many new positions. Whatever course we follow-whether we go to college or whether we immediately try to get a start in life--we can enter upon it with the knowledge that we have been helped in every possible way to meet these changing conditions of life. The years spent in high school are meant to develop your social instincts as well as your educational ones. Your success in life will probably depend more on your personality than your wisdom. That is why one per- son may rise higher in life than another with the same degree of intelligence, and why club activities and social relations are stressed by the instructors. The friends you make may be one of the greatest things you can get from high school. It may mean more to you later than all the knowledge you gleaned from textbooks. To many, the breaking of these friendships is the saddest part of graduating. But I believe that they are not past friendships but future friendships. The foundations of a real friendship will not be broken because you do not see that person every day. After grad- uating, one should build upon these friendships, not to forget them. l would like to say this to the students who have yet to graduate and to the parents who will have sons and daughters still to go through high schoolg participation in extra-curricular activities is one of the most important things in school. What they take part in, whether athletics, dra- matics, or different clubs is not of special importance, but these activities in themselves help one make friends and learn how to conduct himself in society. A student may be among the highest in intelligence but if he does not take part in group activities he has missed half of what school holds for him. Marks alone are not a true standard by which to tell how well a person will succeed. A student may have interest in only one subject and go on to excel in that particular field. A good scientist or singer does not have to know a lot about history or language to succeed. But any person with the right amount of intelligence, sociability, and industry will make a success in any walk of life. l know that college is one of the uppermost questions in the minds of the seniors and of our parents. Perhaps we don't feel that our average marks justify our going to college. But if a student has just one subject in which he shows special ability, l think he should be sent to col- lege to develop that ability. ln any case, if a person really wants to go to college, he will undoubtedly benefit by the experience. ln speaking for the other students and myself, l think we should express our gratitude to all the people who have helped us, especially Mr. Sawdon and the teachers who have been our advisers. At times we have felt we were not treated as seniors should be, but now it is easier to admit we were wrong. We will surely profit by the advice you gave us and use it later on to better ourselves. l know that all the students here have great plans for their future life, and what success we may achieve will have its foundings in these years we have spent in high school. -WALLACE HOLMES.
