W-. 'I The lmdielmele Creed By H. F. VALLANCE I believe -in Indiarnolai school as a school of high ideals, of noble purpose, and of joyous, wholesome lifeg a school -where the importance of teaching and learning 'is recognized, but where the 'i-nterests of child- hood and youth are pa-ramou'n,tg a school that stands for thoughtful, earnest work and strenuous, eager play, a school that promotes industry, honesty, kindliness, courtesy-every manly and womanly 'virtueg a school which 'insists that true worth rests upon. excellence of character rather than upon breadth of knowledge or depth of purse, and that school is not only preparation for life, but that school is, life. I therefore believe it 'ls my duty to 'rnyl school to love it, to honor it, to respect its authority, to protect and defend its fair name, to act so as never to bring dfiscredit or reproach upon it, and to show 'myself at all times worthy of the advantages and opportunities which my school afords. fAck'n.owledg'ments to the Americavfs Creed.j The llmdiemele Meitilze Courteous Man-ner, Proper Speech, Honest Endeavor.

1 ' Hn'ndlis11rncaHe1 Eel?-no Memory ook . June, 19335 THE FACULTY Dedication A To Miss Elizabeth Lowden and Miss Adelaide Phelps, who are retiring from teaching this term, we affectionately dedicate this issue of the Echo. Thousands of Indianola boys and girls have been enriched by the influence of these two char- acters, and they will always remain in the hearts of lndianolans. May they carry with them a belief in the good-will, tenderness, and deep appreciation extended by the school whose inter- ests they have shared for many years. Our sin- cerest wish is that Miss Lowden andl Miss Phelps, who are rich in scholarship, vigorous of person- ality, deepened by varied experiences of life, will enjoy the opportunities and pleasures of leisure hours. We know that in these hours they will continue to be of service to others for that quality is embedded in their personalities. May they look back over their years at Indianola with happy thoughts and satisfaction in their achieve- ments, and may they look forward to years of contentment, real joy, and the fulfillment of their most cherished desires. Miss Lowden and Miss Phelps, Indianolans say to you, Good-bye, good luck, and God bless you.',

A WORD OF APPRECIATION In the time we have been at India-nola we hare seen 'it change grcatlyg perhaps not in reality bat in our miiwl's eye. During our first days here we were overawed by its dignity, imposing look, and size. But as the days and months have passed, it has been transjfoff'rn.ed into, as home, where many delightful friendships have been formed, a place where we learn and advance, a scene of many good times. Tak-ing all these things, and many others, into consideration, we now wish to show our appreciation and to express our thanks to, first, ani' parents. They are the ones who hdiie'...b'deked all of our chances and opportuvlitfies offered us through the school. Thegfldre the ones who have made possible our schools, and .oar chances to attend them. They have helped as in our difficul- tielt, cheered us when. we were discouraged, and enjoyed with ns our triumphs. So to them, we wish to express our heartfelt grat- itude. Next, we wish to thank the faculty and the other members of Indianola. as well as the school itself, for the fine help, advice and constructive criticism which has been given ns. Without the aid of these agencies we could not have become what we are. The faculty especially has helped -us. They have tried to understand our problems, such as they were, and have helped ns w-ith them greatly. We hope that, later in life, we shall be able to reflect some, if not a great deal, of the care and training which the faculty has given ns. For all of Indianola and its ideals, we wish to express our grat- itnde. At Indianola, we believe, we have enjoyed three of the most pleasant years in our lives. It has become a home to as, and needless to sail, we can scarcely leave it witho-at some feeling of regret. However, we look forward to the future with antici- pation and hope to enjoy it as we have the immecliate past. We now mast leave, and although words fall far short of expressing our thanks, we hope that each and every one concerned will realize how deeply rooted and how genuine our appreciation is. We will always re- member you, Indianola, as one of the bright- est spots on. our calendar of life. -Bill Livingston, President of 9A Class.
