MRS. MARY JANE F. GATES Class Sponsor TO THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1947: The theme you have Chosen for your record book is one that has been a favorite of poets in all times. From the won- ders of the heavens poets have taken hope and inspiration. Let your minds and imaginations also be stimulated. In the new world which you will have a part in making, you will need greater hope and Vision than any group before you. Do not be content with too little. Envision the best and work toward making your dream real. Remember the thought that Browning has repeated in so many of his poems that the fault is not in failing but in never having tried. ywzaaz:

MRS. MARIE K. LONGSHORE Principal No star is ever last we once luwc seen We always may be what we might have been. Adelaide Proctor. The star each one of you has been looking for may be different from any other. It may just be another name for your ambition or your goal. Some of you have had to work harder than others to reach your particular goal. Some of you have not as yet achieved it. And still others may realize that your Choice was not wise and vyill have to seek elsewhere before you are definitely settled. None of this should be too disturb- ing to you, for you still have time to think things through toward a more successful future. You have heard numerous times that life is largely what you make it. It is true that none of you can completely direct her life, but real planning, really serious thought will help you to become what you might have been. mew
