cm ,. L7 - Our School: Dedicated to teaching the art of living well. During the years spent in Lansdowne High School, you probably have met heartache and failure as you have met success and approval. They come to most of us in the process of growing up. You have shared honors with compan- ions and responsibilities with acquaint- ances which have given you a keener sense of understanding, tolerance for another point of view, and thus made you a liner person. That your high school lite has prepared you to meet people, to influence them, and to have them bring out the best in you is my sincere wishi HELEN BRICKELL. m,.,,.vf ' iss Helen Brickell, Former Dean of Girls, Lansdowne High School.

Ad ' ' twtwm, G 3, Mr. E. Carlton Ab- bott, Principal of Lansdowne High School. lt is with the greatest regret that l see your class leave our high school. l feel that it has been my very good fortune to have known you. Your unselfish efforts have produced a splendid record of achievements. As life unfolds before you, it will be full of many opportunities that can be seized only if you give as freely of yourselves as you have in the past. Do this and my wish of happiness for you always will be fulfilled. S. N. EWAN, IR. Dr. S. N. Ewan, Ir., l Superintendent of Lansdowne schools. l-low quickly these four years have gone! Only yesterday, it seems, you were small boys and girlseimpulsive young- sters from Iunior High, now you're leav- ing us-young men and women. During this period, you have had an opportunity to learn many things: the cultures of the past, the sciences of the present, the hopes of the future. Life holds a variety of experiences for all of you. Fate may bring rich or sordid ones, but what you do will determine the nature of most of them. These experi- ences, how you interpret them, and how you react to them are your real final examination. The work you make is Your Life. E. CARLTON ABBOTT. 8

Moreover, daily there is enacted a stirring human drama. History supplies pageantry with the birth of kings and nations, the death of heroes, and time marching on. There is violence in Math Where theorems are, at times, murdered. ln language Classes, the element of mystery appears as weird nouns and weirder verbs baffle the unfortunate students, IO
