HOOSIER POET PRESIDENTS F AREWELL ADDRESS HAROLD HOLADAY Tonight marks the termination of an important epoch in our lives. The foun- dation stones of our education were laid throughout the elementary grades, and during high school they have been built upon gradually. We realize that this is not the end of our preparation but merely a good beginning. In the march of edu- cation some of us will be fortunate and continue on to college to specialize in some field. while others will participate in the industrial world. However, wherever we go, and whatever we do much gratitude will be due to our preparatory training. The school has somewhat sheltered us from the turmoil and strife of the world, but now we are eager, figuratively speak- ing to try our wings in a new flight. As novices. many obstacles will naturally im- pede our progress, but as the new surround- ings become more familiar, and the accum- ulated knowledge of our high school life is more adaptable, we shall proceed with greater rapidity toward our goal. The three-hundredth anniversary of our educational system which our ancesters took part in motivating is being celebrated throughout the United States, The schools of yesterday were academic and pre- pared young men and women for the pro- fessions only. As the country progressed. educators. who looked to the future needs of youth formulated new ideas. It is to you parents, of modern education to whom we owe the cultural and varied curriculum of our present day schools. Today a boy or girl may not only be fitted for college, but may also obtain training and culture which will tend to Iind him a place in the business and industrial world. Thanks cannot be given to our ancestors long ago dead, but we appreciate and ad- mire their foresight to plan a system so applicable to America's need. It is our sincere desire in the great march of educa- tion that we shall always do our part in forwarding progressive schools. First Simpleton: Hey, don't shoot. Your gun isn't loaded. His Partner: Can't help that: the bird won't wait CLASS POEM RUSSELL CHAMBERS You have given to us knowledge, May we ever use it right: You have filled our hearts with courage, Proven faith is more than might. You have filled us with ambition: Postered hopes that never die: Prepared us for each earthly mission, We are grateful, Riley High. Though the circle soon be broken. Forever we shall keep alive. A memory, a smile, and a token, Of the Class of '35. VACATION By EDNA MAE GRANT, OA No one knows how glad I am When summer time arrives The bees are also happy Gathering honey for their hives. The birds are sweetly singing The cattle are in a daze, While the sun is brightly shining In the meadows where they graze, In school, there comes examinations Then a few sweet days of rest. And finally comes vacation, That's what I like the best. When I can wander in the Helds Where pretty fiowers bloom. Arriving home for the evening meal And then off to the sleeping room. To dream for many hours Until the rising of the sun, Of things that I have planned to do Until vacation days are done. Bill: All the stores closed on the day my uncle died. Tommy: That's nothing. All the banks closed for three weeks the day after my pa left town. ' How far have you studied Johnny? inquired the teacher. John Shirk: Just as far as the book is dirty. Ma'am.
