E., While Uthers Plan to Attend Universities The senior class of 19119 has reached an important goal in this, the completion ol' our four years of high school. The goal has been to gain some of the knowledge and skill that the race of man has aquired in its long experience. This has required courage, self control and grim determination. When they as freshmen began the ninth year of school work. they undertook- to master syste- matically and progressively the recording of knowledge with a fair hope of success, and it' success is doing a task to the best of one's ability and staying true to one's' aims and ends, then it is to be considered that they, as a class, have been high- ly successful. It has been quite truthfully said that an invest- ment in knowledge always pays the best interest. While they have increased their knowledge during their four years of high school, one of their greatest accomplishments shall be to keep alive, and in full flame, that divine spark within them which We call conscience and to themselves be true. The class of '39 is considered 'an especially active one whose members have been exception- al students, in that they have produced leaders in scholarship, debate, dramatics, athletics and in the various musical organi- zations. There have been many stu' dents who were outstanding in the various sports' and athletics and a large number of seniors have lettered in these various sports offered by I. H. S.
