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.

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.

4 CLASS OFFICERS It has been with great pride, pleasure. and wisdom, that the 9A Class has elected William Livingston, Anna Jane Bierstedt, William Clifford, and Harold Davis aS its officers. William Livingston. the president, is prominent for his ability in dramatics. and for his diligence and justice while serv- ing as the judge of the Traflic Court. Anna Jane Bierstedt, elected to the vice-presi- dency, is also an enthusiastic member of organizations in music and dramatics, be- sides being the spirited leader of our Stu- dent Council. William Clifford and Harold Davis, chosen secretary and treasurer re- spectively, are both famous for .their accom- plishments in athletics. Bill has been a mr-mber of the basketball, baseball, and swimming teams, and Harold. a member of the tumbling team. Harold is a new mem- ber of the orchestra. These officers during their brief term have shown willingness and dependability in the execution of their duties, and we wish to express our deep gratitude and sin- cere appreciation for their efforts. FAREWELLS AND THEIR MEANINGS The baby's farewell is usually the words bye, bye, which are uttered with a nod of a wobbly head and the waving of a pudgey fist. The baby may utter these words to show that he or she can do it and really not mean a thing. The small boy's or girl's farewell is one which is filled with enthusiasm, earnest- ness, and sincerity. In saying good bye it is often repeated while both hands are being waved wildly in the air. Long after the visitor is out of sight the child lingers in his farewell. The high school pupil's good bye is often brief, such as So Long! See you soon. Their farewell is expressed with no form- ality, but with earnestness and sincerity. The middle-aged person expresses his farewell with much formality and some- times not much sincerity. Mrs. So and So might say to another woman, Good bye. Come and see me soon. while she really hopes it will not be too soon. The farewell at life s end is filled with a deep affection which is speechless, for no words can express the last farewell. Ours to you 9A's is- Good bye and Good Luck. This farewell contains no formality, but is filled with sincerity and affection. May you carry on at high school as you have at Indianola. When you leave, take with you Indianola's motto, Courteous Manners. Proper Speech. and Honest En- deavor. -Virginia Jaycox. VESPER.
