s each season comes along we End so many things about it so unlike the corresponding season of the previous year and yet so many things that are alike each season through countless ages. Each spring comes in with pussywillows, daf- fodils and showers. Yet there is often the hint or the reality of snow, frost, droughts or hurri- cane. Adolescent summer usually shows in- creased growth and development of all the prom- ises of springg yet the1'e is always the threat of blight, hail, wind or cloudburst to cancel all our gains. Fall brings in the harvest. The harvest de- pends not alone on the elements but also upon the labor we bestow on our crops. XVhen we have completed our work, it is l1Ot unusual to send the product away for further processing. Our school pattern does not differ materially from naturels. VVC are dealing with naturels most treasured resource-the human personality. Our beginners show signs of promise. VVe know 8 PA FL R. MILLER Principal - that growth will not be uniform in all people nor progress even in any one person. XVe further know that there is talent and power that will never be uncovered. Our aim in school is to open the eyes of youth so that they know what needs to be done and what they can do about it. Wye would like to teach them how to live in peace with one an- other and have competition be a cooperative venture in social improvement rather than a deadly struggle for existence. lVe would like to teach them that the worth of things is seldom Hgured in money and that there are more endur- ing treasures than material wealth. The joy of teaching in high school lies in the development that we see in our students. VVe see eager youth come to us. VVe see them in their middle years increase in knowledge, and finally many of them mature in wisdom. Of such we feel that the harvest was indeed bountiful. PAUL R. AIILLER

GLENNIS H. RICKERT Superintendent our yearbook theme features the seasons of the year. To be more exact, it is based upon three of the seasons: fall, winter, and spring. Since it is necessary to picture school activities and since these cover the periods when school is actually in session, then it appears logical to omit summer. Summer can easily be deleted from the year- book, but summer cannot be removed from the yearly process. llost of growth comes during the summer. lt is the biological growing and storing period. Summer makes it possible for living things to produce a harvest, to secure an adequate reserve to withstand a rigorous winter, to mature the new growth and birth which comes in the spring. No, summer is a part of life, part of an orderly existence. If summer represents the out-of-school per- iod, according to the HIQRRI-KANE, 1947 Edi- tion, then Seniors, remember that it is extremely important what you do with the out-of-school period ahead. The falls, winters, and springs of 7 the past school years have determined what your summer future will be. It is not yet too late to use those past seasons to the best advantage. It can be done if you start now to evaluate your possibilities and train yourself to use thetn for the best life possible. This then is a salute to you for whom the summer of your life is about to begin. So much lies ahead. No time for loafing! No time for idle thought! No time for regret! These must be put aside if you are to succeed and fulfill your destiny. As one who has watched you during your school life, who has seen many hundreds travel that same way before, l can truthfully say that you have a greater chance of success than failure, a better chance for happiness than despair. Keep a stout heart, find a goal, and with right good will press on determinedly. Good fortune attend the Class of l-1-7! GLENNIS H. RICKERT
