enior gfdfdzi fgwfolwcy As I sit at my office desk and worry about taxes, bills, and everything that faces business men, I am tempted to day-dream about the time that I graduated from Jonesville High School in '52. I think that I shall never forget that beautiful night in June when we all marched up the aisle for our diplomas. The moon was shining unusually bright and it Seemed that all the heavens were looking down w.th a song of gladness because another class had graduated and had started out into life.
