'IEFISHEII E EULA QECIELJEEJ A Message to the Class of 1935 0 The graduating exercises of 1935 will mark the transfer of your status from active to as- sociate, f r 0 m student to alumnus, but in no sense should the schoolts interest in your welfare become less vital. VVe are proud to see you go in the same sense that the mother takes pride in the growth and advancement of the normal child. In quite the same manner we experi- ence the lonely usinkingn sen- sation which every normal parent must endure as the m a t u r e offspring departs from home to devote his at- tentions and interests to a home of his own. As with the parents, this lonely feeling can be allevi- ated only by your frequent return to us in person or through word of your ad- vancement and success-dis- tinction in college, a vocation of service, happy marriage or any indication that we may have helped you build a foun- dation fo r happiness. W e shall be sorry to disclaim you as students of K. H. S., but shall be equally p r o u d to point to you as worthy alumni of the old school. The memories of each class become more sacred the far- ther removed in point of time. May we continue to serve you and share with your parents the joy of your success just as we have shared with them the pleasant responsibility of your training. -J . L. Engelhardt.

There have been ups and downs, joys and sorrows, work and play, discourage- ments and exhilirations. So- cial contacts have been con- tinuous. These have taught you the lesson of give and take. They have afforded numberless opportunities to help fellows in need, to show kindness and consideration, to give the word of cheer. In and through it all, you have had the wonderful opportun- ity of acquiring something of the vast accumulation of ex- perience and culture ot' the ages. And what is the result? You all have become better educated, we trust. And the educated, according to the old philosopher, differ from the uneducated as the living jif- fer from the dead. And so it is very fitting to congratulate you who have persevered in the school-a place which has aided you to gain a vievw of the meaning and method of real living. We wish you, each one, a life ot' happiness, full- ness, and true prosperity. My final word is: Don't stop growing when you re- ceive your high school di- ploma. Whether you go to college or not, the process ot' education is not complete un- til you reach the grave. ---L. N. Gish.
