Haslett High School - Dixit Yearbook (Haslett, MI)

DIXIT HISTORY The DIXIT, an annual pub¬ lication by the Senior Class, had its beginning in 1936 under the name of HIGH LITE and was entirely a handmade pro¬ duction. Its present name was given to it the next year, and the reason why remains a mystery, for the word DIXIT in Latin means he said. How¬ ever, it has remained the DIXIT ever since, the tradition¬ al trademark for our yearbook. In 1936, the HIGH LITE had a paper cover, looseleaf pages, and the pictures were all pasted in their proper location. Each year brought more improve¬ ments until finally we have the handsome and cherishable year¬ book with which we are all so familiar.

May all of you build and travel over such bridges in the days to come. May you also look back with pride and happiness to the first of these structures, your graduation. H. M. Murphy s v e Your graduation from Haslett High School is a bridge from youth to adulthood. Over this bridge, providing you have built it well, you may travel on to many fields of endeavor. You may further your education in any of Michigan’s institutions of higher learning or you may go to other states or even foreign countries for this purpose. Your graduation from such an institution will be another bridge over which you may travel to happiness, wealth, service to mankind, or pure intellectual enjoyment. A great bridge is a poem in steel and concrete; built, not without sorrow, tragedy, and pain. Education is a bridge of concentration, mental application, self denial, courage, deter¬ mination, and intellectual and moral achievement. . . ■• ■ . - • f v . la
