THEME Life is a song—in spite of the thousand worries which besiege it, life can be a gay affair. The troubles, although they seem important, can be lessened if thrust into the background once in a while so that one can concentrate on some of the more enjoyable aspects of living. The high-school student as he prepares for his future must decide upon a career. If the student is ambitious, he will point toward a goal which he some day may achieve. However, this young boy or girl must also form a philosophy. If he or she is working for success, this question must be decided: Should a person stick closely to his chosen path without stopping along the way for any sort of enjoyment, or should he slow down to appreciate the good things of life and to observe his fellow man? To make the most out of life it is necessary to keep on the job, but the world is filled with happiness that has been overlooked by those very ambitious persons who have had no time for personal pleasure. If such individuals could see that they were missing the whole of life, then perhaps they would slow down and really enjoy living. This book brings the students the happy memories of a year in school—a year in which much was accomplished, yet enjoyment was not forgotten. Here is an endeavor to point out that life has been a song for the students during the last year.
