The board has earn¬ estly endeavored to make this an is¬ sue of which any Senior may be proud. An underclassman was heard to re¬ mark not long ago how sorry he

THE EXPONENT COMPLETE SATISFACTION The reputation of the manufacturer is a safe guide as to the quality of a car, but the integrity of the local dealer is a vital factor in the satisfaction it gives you. The reputation of the makers of the Willys-Knight and Overland needs no finer tribute than the acceptance of the cars by the public. And our relations with owners in Greenfield is convincing evidence that they consider it not only a safe, but a SATISFYING investment.

2 THE EXPONENT would be to have the present Senior class graduate. Surely this expresses the feelings of all underclassmen to¬ ward you, 1920, and you may well be proud that you have earned that rep¬ utation. Your class has entered all the activities of the school and you have shown true school spirit in all your undertakings. Especially has it been brought out in athletics, schol¬ arship, the S. A. S, and the school play, “Nathan Hale. ' ’ The whole school is proud of you for this rea¬ son, and highly respects you. To some, graduation will mean the end of school days; to others simply a beginning. To those of you who will now begin your life work, we wish all success. Opportunities will be presented from all sides. Do not be too. eager to grasp the first one. Wait until you are sure that what you undertake will never prove to be a disappointment. In your work, whatever it may be always keep be¬ fore you your school motto, “Honor, Loyalty and Scholarship.” To those of you who will continue in some higher institution of learn¬ ing, we wish the same success. Re¬ member that your next four years will be, perhaps, the most important of your life. You, too are prepar¬ ing for your life work and your preparation must be thorough. Do not be content to just “get by!” Do your utmost! Remember Longfel¬ low’s words, “Build today, then, strong and sure with a firm and ample base.” And to you, too, al¬ ways be loyal to whatever you do and never fail to do your best! You will never regret it! The 1920 Exponent Board deserves much credit for the excellent man¬ ner in which the paper has been car¬ ried on throughout the year. It has enlarged the various departments ‘ and tried to better the paper in every way. The biographies have been continued and a successful poetry de¬ partment has been established. In one issue a sheet was devoted to cuts, which proved an attractive feature. Lack of finances has kept the board from doing much and lack of co¬ operation by the student body has somewhat hindered. Several times during the year it was necessary to have compulsory contributions. An¬ other year we hope this will not be necessary! To the whole board we extend our thanks and it was only by their pa¬ tient work and co-operation that the Exponent was so well carried on. To the Editor-in-Chief, we are es¬ pecially grateful. Her leadership has meant much to the paper and her loyalty is an example for others. To the Business Manager praise and thanks should be extended. He has worked faithfully getting new advertisements and his handling of the business end of the paper has been well done. To the other editors we are grate¬ ful for each has done his special work creditably. The new board of 1921 extends to the old board of 192 0 its thanks and appreciation, and it is the desire of the new board to continue the Ex¬ ponent on the same high standard on which it has been conducted through the past year.
