The courtyard, with flag pole pierc- ing the cloud-swept sky, brings to mind Flag Day assemblies at which the en- tire school stood in reverent hush as Old Glory was proudly raised to unfurl its brilliant colors against just such a sky. The building may expand, and we do hope the long-awaited addition will soon materalize, but we of the class of '47 will fondly remember this - our Kelly High.

Alma Mater! Beyond the flowering hawthorn hedge and the terraced lawn rising to the entrances is the heart of the Brighton Park community-our own Kelly High. From this school graduate the trained young men and women whose education will fit them for re- sponsible leadership in their various spheres of lite. Fond memories are evoked by every possible view of the building. The center porch and stairs seem almost to surge with the sea of youth at dis- missal.

Q Our rincipal Q Is there a baffling problem? Do we hesitate as to how to proceed? ' ' Does the only course seem impossible? When that stage is reached, what next? What-but go to the office, of course! Mrs. May C. Allen, our principal, doesn't know defeatism. Blessed with an executive mind, she comprehends every student difficulty. She never confuses the unessential with the essential. She has the happy faculty of extracting the essence of the problem and of speedily using the facilities at her command to solve it. We never feel let down by our principal. Countless times she has demonstrated that she has our best interests at heart. We trust her as our mentor, and, as we leave Kelly, we pledge our loyalty to the ideals she has implanted in us. 2 NV ' .Her .fueuage 21 tu 9 B Your diplcma is the outward sign of your graduation from high 3 0 school For every graduate, however, there is a, feeling of achieve- .vt I ment or lack of it that is the individual's way of knowing whether or ce not he is a successful graduate.
