We have maintained a high scholastic standard from the first time we entered high school up until we finished the course. But our education has not been without its bright moments of many fine associations through the activities in which we engaged. We have come to know each other better because we learned to work and play together; now we must part, each to go his or her own way in life. Perchance we shall meet again upon the cross-roads of life. This past year has been a particularly enjoyable one. Perhaps one of our most interesting experiences was the presentation of our 6 THERE'S MUSIC IN THE AIR 7.

Seniors After four hard, but interesting years of education, we stand at the threshold of that which we most desired when we first entered high school as Freshmen; namely, to be called graduates of Harmony high school. To be an alumnus of Harmony high school is in itself an honor and a responsibility and we hope that no one will bring dishonor to our Alma Mater as we leave her walls of learning to find our niches in the world of affairs. To many of us, we will soon be in the service of our country to carry her banners high and bring them back victoriously to a better world in which to live and let live. VVe aim to take our part and do our very best wherever and whenever called upon. “On Wings of Faith” is the theme of our annual this year. Mid the turmoil of an uprooted world, it is more necessary than ever that we carry on “On Wings of Faith” lest we lose sight of the glow of a new’ day. “It is always darkest before dawn” may be the case now' as we step out into the world, but surely if we have faith in our country, our neighbors, and ourselves a new' day will dawrn, brighter and more beautiful than any that we have ever experienced. We must be ready to make the necessary sacrifice to bring about that new day by bending every effort to win the war and win the peace that is to follow'. Perhaps faith is the best asset that we can now’ cherish and hold dear unto ourselves until this world rights itself on its axis. As we look back, it is only four short years since we began our high school careers together. Four years ago, it seemed like four long years out into the future.

Seniors senior play, “John Doe, American”. It had a special appeal to everyone of us because it touched a patriotic chord that made our heartstrings tingle. It proved to be an outstanding success from the standpoint of both attendance and performance. In speech, Charlyne Quammen carried off the honors in the regional speech contest at Pine Island bv receiving a rating of superior in manuscript reading. We shall long remember our many music activities, our band rehearsals, band concerts, instrumental recitals, and the various occasions when we were called upon to participate in school programs. The operetta, ‘‘An Old Kentucky Garden,” was another experience that will live long in our memories; the melodies of Stephen Foster mean more to us because of it. Then too, there was that delightful operetta, “Chonita,” in which we took part during our junior year; the sprightly music of Franz Liszt will always bring back memories of that experience. If music is the language of the heart and soul, we will have many deep rooted memories to hind us to the four years of close association as students together in Harmony high school. We have not been without thrills galore in football and basketball. It has been a lot of fun to cheer from the sidelines and bleachers with a winning team to carry our honors high. The Seniors played their part w’ell in both football and basketball, several of whom played on two championship teams in basketball. At the close of the first semester, President Roosevelt sent a personal greeting to Donovan Boelter telling him that without his services this war could not be won and so Don became the first in our class to answer the call to colors. Due to the training he received in his high school radio class, Don was able to pass his radio code test in the navy 1 KEEP 'EM ROLLING 2. EFFICIENCY IN THE LIBRARY. 3.
