Independence Hiqh School 5 ia... The Greul' Advenl'ure Glance backward with us, the Seniors, who are about to launch into the sea of life and see in vision some of the things that we remember from our school days. At first sight there is one thing that stands out most of all, the letters M. C. H. S. Our ambition was to be graduated under that famous label, to be a part of the great body of Alumni that the school boasts. This was not to be so, however, but on the contrary we are to be the first to leave the school under the new label, I. H. S. We have but little regret for the change, because we realize this to be the turning point in the progress of the school. For a generation M. C. H. S. has been steadily advancing until now she can leap forward in longer strides, and we feel that the changing of the name is the signal for the great advance forward. Many things go to prove this. Our faculty has increased. Our student body outnumbers all previous enrollments and a greater interest is being shown in education itself. But now we are leaving and memories crowd our brain. Perhaps we see a gridiron looming before us. In the distance we see two dim lines and through the dusty haze we recognize the majestic colors of ORANGE AND BLACK. Faintly to our ears come the signals, then, with a mighty rush, we see our warriors crossing the goal line. A great shout goes up, then, all is still. Or, perhaps we hear the distant tolling of the bell and our blood thrills, for to us the sounding of that bell is the token of victory. But all those things are gone now and we face the trials of life. We are on the border of a new begin- ring, the turning point in our lives, and a false move might prove fatal. But we do not start blindly. We keenly realize our situation and we are just as determined as ever to succeed. We hope to be just as good citizens as we were students, to enter our daily duties with as much determination and grit as we did our football and other athletics, to live and let live and help one arfother daily. So now we leave with several great objects in viewg to stand for ihat which is right, to defend the weak and breathe the free air of Ucmivcracy, to be ideal citizens. Thus will we start on the great adventure. For tho' from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.
