--'--- - -- Y---5 .K 5... . ,, ,,,,,V ww 5 p Y ww '- FORWARD Twelve years ago a group of excited-small children assembled in the first grade room. What was the cause of the excitement? It was the first day of school for these children. They were embarking upon a period of their lives which none of them will ever forget, and they won't wish to forget. These last twelve years will be remem- bered as one of the happiest periods ever experienced by any of them. During these years, each of them has learned to be a citi- zen of the United States. They have been prepared to carry on the advancement of civilization a few steps farther as the generation be- fore them did and to add their bit to the progress of the world. All of them have formed friendships which will never be broken. Looking back over the last twelve years they remember all of the fun and good times they have had. If they try, they can remember a few unhappy times of course, but the happy times outnumber them so greatly that they are but faint, dim memories while the joys stand out clearly in their minds. In order to preserve these good times more accurately as the years 'go by, we are now putting forth this second edition of the ' Cri- terion. We hope that you, as you glance through this book, will re- member the Senior Class of 194-7 in the same way we recall our sch- ool years. We hope that in your memories our Q good 'points ' will stand out so clearly that our few bad points will be insignificant. EDITOR '
