It is being used in the manufacture of explosives, dyes, varnishes, and synthetic rubber, and innumerable other ways, but when most of us hear the name alcohol we usually think of wine, whiskey, and beer. Alcohol in beverages is used by many people as a means to drown their troubles, others drink for the pleasure they get out of itg and there are still others who drink to be sociable. Probably the majority of these people know very little about the results of this drinking, and that is the duty of the present generation to learn about these effects in order to avoid the great danger which attends the use of intoxicants. The first effect of alcohol on the human body is a burning sensation in the throat. This causes the heart to beat faster in order to get blood to the irritated parts. The arteries near the skin expand and in the stomach the alcohol passes directly into the blood stream without being acted upon by the gastric juices. It then passes into the intestines where it is absorbed. These ef- fects continue until the alcohol has been eliminated from the body. Tests prove that alcohol weakens the muscles and clouds the line of vision. When a drunken driver comes to a crossing he can- not put his foot on the brake as quickly as he should. Besides, the stop light assumes a gray color instead of the usual red, yellow and green. After a special study of accidents it was found that one out of every three fatal accidents was caused by drunken drivers or pedestrians under the influence of liquor. It is not a good practice for athletes to drink. Alcohol doesn't add strength to the body, but has just the opposite effect. It les- sens the accuracy and judgment of the player. Many athletic leagues have strict rules against drinking. For a great number of years alcohol was used as a medicine. In the Revolutionary and Civil wars it was used as an anesthetic since ether was not available. It was also used as a stimulant ini the case of shock but the use of alcohol in the field of medicine has been greatlyldeclining. During the past thirty years the use of alcohol in hospitals has dropped 80 per cent. Alcohol is alcohol, and its effects are the same regardless of the source. Wine and beer contain less alcohol than whiskey, so the effects are naturally milder: but this is due to the dilution and not to any special kind of alcohol. So as one strolls into a beer par- lor he should realize that the first drink starts weakening his mind and soon he hasn't the ability to stop drinking and can easily become an addict. In closing I wish to add that, whether we have been brought up in homes where alcohol is used freely or in those where it is never used, it is our task as individuals to make our own decisions after knowing the facts about alcohol and learning the results of its use as a beverage.

Doioioioioioirxiuifrioi SALUTATORY Trustees, Members of the School Board, Teachers, Alumni, Parents, Friends, and Schoolmates: We, the class of 1944, extend to you a cordial welcome to our graduation exercises. We are glad to have you present at this time. This is both a joyous day and a sad one for us, the graduating class. Joyous, because we have reached an- other goal in our life, and because you, our loved ones are here with us to share our good fortune, sad, be- cause now we must say Good-bye to the wonderful friends we have made, and to the good times we have shared here during our days at Leav- itt. Sad, too, because now many of us are saying Good-bye to school life forever. Yes, we are leaving school life with its aims and ideals. We have reached another goal in life's jour- ney. At some things we were pleased, at others displeased, but we have come this far on our journey and there is no turning back. We must go on and take advantage of the new op-- portunities presented to us. Thanks to our training here, we are better prepared now for the fu- ture. We shall be better able to make a wise decision. Today we reach the cross-roads. We separate to travel North, South, East, and West, but whatever way we go, there will be decisions to be made and problems to be solved. The fact that the country is at war adds to the abundance of these prob- lems. Agencies require that their em- ployees be well trained in order to speed the war effort. The armed u101o11rio2m13o:1xioi4 viuiuiuinisrioc forces require that their members be healthy, and, if possible, be spe- cialized in some occupation. Many of the boys in our class will be joining the armed forces, others will be going into the mills or onto farms. The girls may take up nursing, which requires a great deal of prep- arationg they may go into office work, in which a large amount of skill is required, they may enter a dozen different occupations, or they may even join the armed forces. Any of these branches of life's school demands that one be able to meet certain rigid requirements, make wise decisions, and meet trou- bles calmly. Our school life with its aims of good health, mastery of cer- tain fundamental subjects, apprecia- tion of home life, training for a voca- tion, lessons in citizenship, proper use of leisure time, and especially that aim of developing a good char- acter have all helped to prepare us for the future. It has trained us in such a way as to enable us to meet those demands, which are so impor- tant, and which are different for the various vocations. It enables us to meet also the basic requirements which are the same for all employ- ments. Whatever road we take, we will find that our days here aft Leav- itt will be helpful to us as well as full of happy memories. F. As we leave here, we pass on to you, Undergraduates, the torch we have been trying to carry for our school. Try to do your jobleven bet- ter than we have done ours and in so doing raise the standards of Leavitt Institute higher. 12 LEAVITT ANGELUS In closing: It has been through your help, guidance, and friendship, and the mercy of God that We have been able to go on from day to day, struggling to overcome the trials that are always awaiting one. Through your help, We have been able to reach, at least in part, the goals of education. It is because of your ef- forts that we are here today. As we leave school life for life's school, let me say once again to everyone of you: Welcome to our graduation exercises. Esther Dunn. 1-...O-.-.T HONOR ESSAY Out Of High School Into Life's Military School Time was when an innate noble of the Dark Ages could hire a profes- sional army to fight his bloody bat- tles. However, as time went on, the poorer classes of men filled the ranks of the nation's armies, while its no- bility contributed the officer mate- rial. World War 1 changed this pio- ture in many respects, so that no longer were battles confined to small armies on small battlefields, and no longer was the man with the gun the only combatant. Then Whole na- tions were mobilized and, to some ex- tent, civilians were also actual com- batants. Our people fought this war with t'he earnest hope that it would make the world safe for democracy. After twenty-one years of peace, the barbarous German armies once again started on the road to world domination. Their march into Poland in September of 1939 touched off the powder keg of Europe which explod- ed with a force never equaled in his- tory. Peace was no more. True, there were a few nations like ourselves that tried to take a neutral stand but this status lasted for a compara- tively short time. Whether it would advisable to enter have been more the War in '39 or to wait for the war still being debated. to come to us is However, all our debate on the pro's and con's of entering the war was settled for us by the Japanese War Lords . On that fateful Sunday af- ternoon of December 7, 1941, t'he ar- guments were closed. We were at- tacked while their peace emissaries were in Washington discussing ways and means of keeping Japan and our country at peace. The yellow Devil sons of Nippon gave us but one choice and to this day, I think, we have nobly met their challenge. For the greater part of us fellows who are graduating from Leavitt this June entering the military sen- vice seems to be our chief goal. Last year at this time, it seemed reason- able to our military leaders that older men than ourselves could speed this war to a successful conclusiong but, lessons to the contrary have been taught us on the world's battlefields, lessons which have cost us precious American blood. America needs young men to fight its battles. It is only the younger men, those from 18 to 26 years, who can best carry this war to our enemies with the violence and velocity that today's all out war demands. And so as we reach the age of eighteen and go before our draft boards to discover who s'hall serve on the battlefields and who on the home front, we do so with the hope that by putting our shoulders to the wheel and by working with all our might we may bring to our land the long hoped-for peace and may preserve our threatened freedom for ourselves and our posterity. Edward Murphy. LEAVITT ANGELUS 13 HONOR ORATION To each of us our motto has a dif- ferent appeal, according to our tastes and abilities. To most of us it means out of school into life's school of business, and with that point of view in mind, I think first of an old saying, Beginners cannot be choos- ers . What we need is experience. No matter how hard the task we under- take, the success depends upon our own efforts and initiative. There are, without doubt, a few abilities and skills which We should cultivate if we expect to be success- ful. Among these is that of self dis- cipline, which is very valuable for each one of us to possess. Upon accepting a position, we should not think about the job in it- self but consider it in relation to the business as a whole. We must real- ize what our Work means in connec- tion with other departments. No mat- ter how small our job may be, it plays some part in the whole scheme. If we are able to fill a small position steadily and efficiently, We shall be more capable of handling a larger one when the opportunity offers it- self. We must cultivate an interest and liking for whatever we are doing. If We put all our attention on our work, we may be surprised to see what a difference it will make in our whole attitude toward our position. We shall feel that our job is as im- portant as that of the next person. Wherever we are placed, there will be things about the oHice and work that may not please usg things that are distasteful and difficult. Self dis- cipline demands that we force our- selves to do our work satisfactorily? give the best that we have in usg never be satisfied with work t'hat is half done. We may never be praised for the good Work we have done, but there is the satisfaction which accompanies a task well performed even though others do not tell us about it. In other words, let's not give up if the going doesn't always seem smooth. Rather, let's go on and con- quer. If there is in us a feeling of inse- curity and lack of preparedness, now is the time to do something about it. With the splendid educational oppor- tunities which we have, there is no reason why we cannot improve our- selves. It may be impossible for some of us to continue as we wish, but busi- ness is a broad field. and there are night schools which one may attend a few nights a week for a small fee. Of course, one must have some recrea- tion and rest, but along with this we should plan to improve ourselves. It has been done by many who have cared enough about their future ad- vancement to make a determined ef- fort. To sum up we should be alert and learn all that we can. Success in a smaller job soon leads to a more im- portant one. Then no doubt some- thing better is likely to develop. We will do our best to remember that the only way in which one may obtain success is through his own earnest efforts. Crystal Reed. l..-0...-1. PROPHECY FOR GIRLS One afternoon in the last week of March, I strolled off into the depths of the woods where I could be alone to peer into the future and discover what might take place in the year 1950. Then out of a chaotic mental confusion, a panorama was unrolled before my eyes. Within the haziness of my vision I could plainly see, rush- ing before me, the classmates with 14 LEAVITT ANG-ELUS whom for the past four years I have struggled onward to the ultimate vic- tory of this graduation day. Natural- ly there were some of the boys of the class in my vision but the only ones in whom I was interested were the girls. ' Suddenly it seemed as though I were traveling from place to place in some kind of a fantastic rocket-pro- pelled plane, and had just perceived ahead of me an airport at which I was scheduled to land. Upon landing, I discovered that I was in New York City. Then I saw coming toward me ,L group of spectators among whom was one of my former classmates at L. I., Laura Timberlake. She was clamoring for news as she had re-- cently become a news reporter on the Metropolitan Daily Planet, after her period of service in the WACS. This was not surprising for she had al- ways had, in the good old times, a nose for news. She told me that she had just come from the Navy Nurs- ing School where she was seeking news, and had met Shirley Bempkins, who completed wi-th flying colors the Nurses' Course. I was glad to hear this, for it had always been her greatest desire. As I had to stay over night at one of the hotels in New York, I chose the Ritz. Whom should I meet but the wife of one of the most prosper- ous hotel owners, Elaine Gilbert Lit- tlehale. The passing years had changed her somewhat but she was still the Elaine Gilbert I had known at L. I. After a good night's rest in one of Ameri'ca's softest beds, I woke at 5 a. m.g and after a hearty breakfast, I came out on the street and hailed a taxi which, I soon discovered, was driven by Nellie Gordon, who, I am told, had sometimes driven the Leav- itt bus. She engaged me in conversa- tion during which she explained how she had acquired the job. She said that after two years of driving for the Maine Central Bus Line she had been transferred to the more impor- tant job of taxi driving. When I reached my destination, the airport, I got into my rocket ship and headed for Florida. Upon arrival I was greeted by Airline Hostess Esth- er Dunn, who was about to take off for Chicago on one of her daily runs. She informed me tlhat her good friend, Celia Russell, had been very successful in her Nurse's Aid Course at the Chicago Hospital, and that she was to be transferred to regular duty in a week. I was not a bit surprised to find that those classmates had such good positions, for Esther was al- ways a quiet person, and Celia very determined. I don't know w'hy my instinct should have guided me so, but as I was walking downtown on the Tampa Boulevard, I went past a beauty salon which bore the sign above its door, Norma Roberts, Beauty Expert . As I entered the front door I saw the ex- pert herself at work. She said that in a month she would be on her way to a Hollywood Studio to work on male movie stars. She used to be quite a Star Gazer at L. I. After a good look around I took off again and landed in San Francisco at 12:00 o'clock noon, I hailed a cab and went to an overtown restaurant which I discovered was operated by a former soldier, who had returned from overseas duty, married Barbara Hathaway, and established himself in the restaurant business with his wife as the cook and Helen Williams as treasurer of his company. After one of Bab's excellent meals and a friendly chat, I decided to return to the Auburn Airport. I arrived there at sunset and found that Crystal Reed Murphy, wife of chief mechanic LEAVITT ANGELUS 15 Murphy, was very happy and coni- tented. May wonders never cease! About this time I saw an auto bearing down upon me. After a terri- fic crash I discovered that I had fallen off the large rock on which I was comfortably sleeping, thus terminat- ing my dream. I got up and returned home, only to discover that one of the girls of the class had been left out of my dream. My prophecy is that Doris Hues-ton married her soldier boy and lived happily ever after. Melvin Gibbs. .Tig-...- PROPHECY FOR BOYS It was a beautiful clear day when I started out for work on June 9, 1954. I was serving as an airplane hostess and I'd just been assigned to a new plane. I was told that Eddie Murphy was the pilot. I remembered that there had been an Eddie Murphy in mv class, but I didn'-t have time be- fore we started to find out whether or not he and the pilot were one and the same. Later, when I had a chance to go forward, I recognized him as my former classmate. He told me that he himself had made the motor from parts of his Fords. We passed a plane bearing the name Bempkin's Trans- port and who should be piloting but Melvin Gibbs. They raced for a little way. but Murphy soon noticed that he was ahead of schedule so he throt- tled back and went downstairs so we could look at the scenery. When I noticed a particularly large and prosperous looking farm below us. he told me that Laurence Gagne and Thompson Moore owned it in partnership. We circled it to see if we could spy either one of them. Just as we we-re over the back lawn we saw Tommy and a young lady walk- ing together, While trailing after them, were six or seven little red heads. I didnit have time to see who the lady was because by that time, we noticed Gagne persistently chas- ing the old hens. He didn't seem to be trying to catch any special o11e but was just grabbing here and there. I don't know whether he final- ly caught any or not but the whole performance reminded me of his per- formance at Leavitt when trying to date us girls. I heard a peculiar noise back in the cabin so I decided I'd better return to see what was going on. There I found Merle Libby singing Paper Doll while at thesame time he was writ- ing the words Betty Jane . He seem- ed to be deeply absorbed in his work so I didn't bother him. In fact every- one seemed to be occupied, especial- lv a handsome gentleman who was reading a book while he carefully guarded several others which lay nearby. After having seen so many of my classmates that day, I thought of Raymond Sennett, as he had been reading a lot during his school days. A few minutes later my suspicions were confirmed when he glanced up and recognized me. When I told him about having seen so many of mv for- mer classmates that dav, he told me that Harry Star-bird had settled down to married life and was making Mason jars. Strange as it may seem, in this one flight I obtained all this information about the boys in the class of '44. Nellie Gordon. .,10. . ADDRESS T0 UNDERGRADUATES Today is our last as students of Leavitt Institute. Tomorrow we shall be part of the Alumni, and it is you, the undergraduates. who will carry on in our places. It really doesn't seem possible that four years have 16 LEAVITT come and gone so quickly, and that now we are ready to embark on life's great journey. Before we leave may we offer a few words of advice which is the result of our own experiences? You should con- tinue your school life though per- haps at the present time it may seem too difficult or too boring to do so. Prospects of high paying positions may tempt you to leave school. Do not make this foolish mistake. As the years go by, more and more stress is being laid on the importance of edu- cation, particularly in normal times. This is simply for the reason that in our times it is practically impossible to be self supporting without some formal education. Certainly the many complications and business relations of every day life require some degree of education: the more the better, as anyone will bear me out. To gain any position of responsibility or advan-ce- ment one must be an educated per- son. If you are contenlt with a lowly position and low salary, well and good. Not many people are satisfied with anything poorer than the best. If you plan. however, to succeed in this world. bv all means remain in school and obtain as much education as possible. In seeking your education, Under- classmen, keep this most important factor in mind: choose only those subjects that will benefit you most. Never choose a subject simply be- cause you consider th.at it is an easV one, for not only are you often fool- ed. as I have discovered, but if it does not fit into your scheme of things it is just so much time wasted. Perhaps you may not be able to ob- tain as much education as you would like. for we of this generation, in the midst of a. great war, are faced with responsibilities of gravest magni- tude. On our shoulders, perhaps rests a heavier burden than on those of ANGELUS any other age group, but bear in mind the fact that when peace returns you will have your own lives to lead in your own fashions, and your own decisions to make. Thus you owe it to yourselves and to the destiny of our nation to obtain as great an amount of education as possible while the op- portunity is still at hand. So in sum- mary may I urge you to remain at Leavitt, uphold its traditions, and ac- quire all the knowledge possible, for you will need it. Raymond Sennett. ........0.l... GIFTS TO BOYS On June 9, 1944, an American bomber iiew over Adolph Hi'tler's mountain villa in Germany. It un- loaded its bombs and returned safely home to the United States. Hitler was in the front garden reading the comic 'Tillie the Toilet , and Goebibels didn't have time to warn him that the Americans were coming. Consequently, Hitler will never realize what we did for the world in those few minutes, but there is a queer incident connected with the whole 'aHair, which interests us es- pecially. One bomb fell directly on Hitler's head, bounced, and exploded. Out of it burst a box decorated in blue and white paper. This box soared high over the ocean and landed in the Town of Turner. On it was a note addressed to Laura Timberlake. This is all it said, Open the lid and present the gifts to the boys and girls of the Senior Class of '44 at Leavitt Institute . So, with the compliments of who- ever donated the gifts, I present them to our classmates. LEAVITT ANGELUS 17 Edward Murphy-Eddie, most of us know that you have a model A Ford, and that you have troubles oth- er than those about gas and tires. Here is a little spark plug for you, so that when that old car has a tickle in that section of the engine, all you will have to do is to substitute this new one. To tell the truth, I ex- pect to see you coming some day with a propeller on the front of your old Ford since you are so interested in airplanes. Thompson Moore-Tommy, you and I have traveled on the same school bus for flour years, and I can truth- fully say that there was hardly one trip when you weren't engaged in an' argument or even a fight with some- one. So to protect yourself, and to help you be victorious on'ce in a While, I am giving you this little pair of box-' ing gloves. Good luck, Tom! Raymond Sennett-Bozo, you are considered slowest, best dressed, vividest blusher, and possessor of the prettiest hair among the boys of our class. So, I am giving you this fash- ion magazine in which you will prob- ably find all the latest styles for folks who blush and have curly hair, but you had better make haste before the styles change. Harry Starbird-Harry, this last year you have been very interested in dancing, but it was voted that you have the biggest feet in the Senior Class, and certainly you never could drag those, all the Way to dances. So, you must have some Way to ride. Here is a little car which will carry you to the dances, and I am sure it will also be of some aid to you in' the future, when you obtain that desired position with the Masons. Laurence 'Gagne-Gagne, you were voted the shortest boy of our class. I have noticed you have some trouble in seeing over the top of the steering Wheel, and to help you in' looking up- ward at any tall red headed girl you may meet, take these vitamin pills, guaranteed to make you grow tall. Melvin Gibbs-Melvin, in the days of long ago when a knight went into battle, he wore a favor given' him by his lady. Here is a knot of ribbon in our class colors. When your Aviation Cadet Training is over and you are flying on important missions, carry this favor in' your pocket, for we will all be thinking of you and cheering for you. Merle Libby-Merle. whoever do- nated these gifts must have put quite a lot of time on yours. It seems that th.e class has given you quite a few honors, such as best athlete, best singer, best sport. best actor, and most popular, and I hope it won't go to your head or elsewhere. Did you ever hear the old expression' getting too big for one's breeches ? Well, just in 'case-here's ia pair of breeches that will allow for a lot of expansion. No offense, Casey, just trying to be helpful. Well, boys, the box is empty, But as we part, and each goes on his way, Please keep these gifts as gay reminders Oii the Senior Class and our graduation day. L. A. T. '44. GIFTS 'DO GIRLS Not long ago I was overjoyed when I received a letter from the OPA, svmnathizing with me in my efforts tn obtain the gifts for the fairer sex of our class. They realized only too well how many articles are now miss- ing from our store windows. Conse- ouentlv. they gave me a priority rat- ing and very kindly suggested where I migh.t find each gift. Well, I became very elated as I read wfhat the board had issued for the girls. I hope that 18 LEAVITT everyone here agrees with the aboard, although that would call for a mira- cle, I suppose. Nellie Gordon-Nellie, during my years of riding on the bus, I have oft times looked up to see that not a man, but a very attractive girl was driv- ing. So now that you are through rid- ing and probably won't be driving either, I think you should still have a bus as a reminder of the old one. It is equipped with everything including a drawer of beauty powders, to pre- serve your attractiveness. Doris Hueston-Doris, now that your soldier boy is off to war, I think that you should have something to take up your time. I believe that you should also have a hobby, something like the collecting of old legal docu- ments. I believe that this BILL of Rights should make a very fine start, if you decide to carry out this plan of mine. Crystal Reed-Crystal, the girls at the dormitory tell me that you have a great aversion for anything that has to do with exercise. I have also noticed that you can blush, a fact which must be due to the over-a1bun- dance of red corpuscles. Take this bottle of pills that work in two ways. 'Ilheyrgive you more white corpuscles to over-balance the red ones, and fur- nish more pep to help in your daily exercise. Esther Dunn-Esther, due to the fact that you have worked very hard and have been able to graduate from Leavitt in only three years. we think that your accomplishment deserves a Gold Medal. When' this war has final- ly ceased, you too can show what a soldier you have been. I'm sure that the boy in the Medical Corps will be proud of you. Laura Timberlake-Tim. you have always seemed to be the jolliest one of our noble class. You have kept the ANGELUS class merry when no one else has been successful. So when I found this ugly little bull-dog, I thought you might like to try your over-abun- dance of merriment in cheering him up. His owners tell me that he doesn't like the water, but perhaps you can persuade him to try to fWadeD a bit at first. Celia Russell-Celia, I have heard a few rumors that you are very fond of the British Navy, or of what it consists, might I say. I finally decided that this little motor boat should come in handy if you should like to visit the sailors while they are on duty. You may also like to make a trip to England after the war. Helen Williams-Helen, due to your quietness and your short time .at Leavitt, it has been rather diffi- cult to choose a proper gift for yofu, but I believe the whole senior class will agree with me when I say that you did a fine job of acting in our senior drama. To help you, if you should care to 'continue with your stage career, here is this book on how to become a Hollywood' actress. Who knows? Hedy Lamar may have started her career by reading this book. Barbara Hathaway-Babs, for four lonlg years now you have evaded gen- tlemen for some reason. However, there are a number of 4F men left so I think that you should be quite suc- cessful in catching one with this rope I have for you. Just tie one end about his neck and the other end to your wrist and I assure you that he will never stray from your side. Norma Roberts--Norm, I can't quite understand how one could be voted as the clumsiest member of the class and be the best athlete too. But you do seem to possess both quali- ties. it is true. Therefore, that you may rid yourself of the clumsiness, I have brought for you this can of vi- LEAVITT ANGELUS 1'9 tamin soup. I fhear that you are fsoupyl over the Lavorgna company that produces it. Elaine Gilbert-Red, it is quite ap- parent that you have spent much time in studying, but it is my belief that you also have had plenty of time to spend with many of the boys, too. I think you should have this little book in which to keep all of those dates in good order. lt has an especial compartment for dates with service- men. Shirley Bempkins-Shirl, I've no- ticed that you have been a good friend to everyone at Leavitt, espe- cially to the lower classmen. I know they have appreciated your kindness and hate to see you go. Because of your thoughtfulness we can under- stand why it is your ambition to be- come a nurse, but you have probably heard of the crushes that patients get on nurses. Just in case you expe- rience anything like that, here is a guard, or S. P., from the Navy to watch over you at all times. In conclusion, I should like to say that I hope each girl is satisfied with the gift I have bestowed upon her. If there is any disagreement I'm sure the OPA will gladly consider your case for you.

' In testimony whereof we hereto set our hand and seal, and declare this to be our last will and testament, this ninth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-four. Class of 1944 By: Norma Roberts. Signed, sealed, and declared by the Class of '44 as its last will and testa- ment ilr the presence of us who, at its request, did in its presence subscribe our names as witnesses thereto. A WAC A WAVE A SPAR 110.1- VALED'ICTORY Out Of School Life Into Life's School We, the class of '44, realize that to- day we are gathered for the last time as a class. Our school life is behind LEAVITT ANGELUS 21 usg Life's school, before us. Daily we shall be obliged to apply the knowl- edge acquired during our years at Leavitt, a knowledge that has taught us, to be dependable, selfl-reliant, ready to meet and face hardships without faltering. These accomplish- ments will be indispensable in Life's school. Today, as we look into the past, we see four happy, satisfactory years. Does Life's school hold the same for us? That depends on how we grasp the opportunities which may present themselves. The opportunity is al- ways thereg we have only to recog- nize it. Our teachers in' Life's school will not be the kind, willing, sympa- thetic helpers that have guided us through Leavitt. We shall need to employ the energies and powers which have been developed these past four years. We shall be unable to skip Life's classes and make up our lessons to- morrow. Life cannot be written on a sheet of paper, corrected, and return- ed. We must strive to do our utmost toward perfection and detect our wrongs before they become a habit. The halls and corridors in Life's school are crowded and narrow. There are many doors open to us along the way. Which shall we enter? Beyond one we find a path leading upward and beyond the other, a path leading downward. We must give much se'- rious thought before making our en- trances. Once we have ventured into the wrong doorway, it will be ex- tremely difficult to wend our way back and enter the right one. Life's stairways are s'teep and winding. Many will be at the bottom urgin'g us to remain with them, and many more will be descending. It will take courage and will power to over- look these facts and to proceed alone. We must not be discouraged if we do not reach the top in the first attempt. By the very attempt, we nave put ourselves far ahead toward the final goal. l As we enter Life's school, we real- ize that we have not only ourselves to consider, but also our parents and friends. We owe a debt to you, par- ents, which is greater than we shall ever be able to pay. Today we hope you are experiencing a just pride, and trust that we may show you by our future lives how much we appreciate all you have done for us. Our chief desire is that we may prove ourselves worthy of your sacrifices and worries. Friends: You will never know how much your kind advice and loyal support have meant to us. Teachers and Trustees: You, too, we call our friends. Your patience and understanding have guided us for four years and your influence will be forever with us. Schoolmates : We have labored side by side in athletics and school activities. The time has come for us to enter other fields and to you we entrust Leavitt's honor. Keep her standards high! Classmates : For four years we have been as one. Today we are going on our sep- arate ways, but let us carry in mem- ory a part of each individual person- ality. And so, dear Leavitt, we leave your cherished halls and classrooms with the knowledge that we have been ef- ficiently prepared for whatever Life's school has in store for us and with a determination to use to the utmost the training which we have received from you. r Elaine Gil'bert. 22 LEAVITT ANGELUS EQFQUQIIQOQUQ QIVQIVQUQUQUQUQID4PQOQ0,0Q0i0D0i0,0QOQ 0a0Qi.0Q1 ,C - l ggxlw 7- 04,7 ,-..-.,.- ug- M .,.l,,,,.,,f,...,.......,lm,LN i Q ,amIIIIIR,.,s:.EII lt. -imtlllllliwas mfg ':'-0Ql!1 Q IQ!!-UQUQOQUQUQU QUQUQIIQUQUQIIQUQIlDl!1lQl!l!17Ql-ll- Q Q O PLANE IN THE NIGHT Plane throu-gh the dark night, Your motors muffled, Hidden all your light, THE CHIEF CITIZEN There is our chief citizen. Look at him. He smiles as he gives an urchin A bright penny. He shall never be forgotten Fly on through the night, Carrying in your metal womb Your human cargo safely anywhere, Fly on through the night, Morning lies ahead. Raymond Sennett. Why, his very name is on every lip. A week, perhaps a month slips by, The chief citizen is dead. In the street two women are talking, Our chief citizen is dead says one, Yes, what a pity, a line man. Did you sec the sun through the trees This morning? It-was a beautiful red. Raymond Sennett MY HOME And what is my home you may ask, Only forested hills with a river valley between, And spreading back from flowery banks, Fields of cultivated green. A city? No, only farms connected By narrow country roads, A store, a school, a blacksmith shop, and church or two, With smoke-free sky above a pleasant blue. My dwelling place? A house of brick with Marble portals thick? No, just a weatherbeaten little house With chimney of grimy red. Surrounded by ancient protective trees, Sheltering in winter, in summer giving cool breeze Nothing much, seen a thousand times around the globe, Nothing much, 'except it is my home. 4 Raymond Sennett.

The orchestra consists this year of Katharine Bryant, Anna Bryant, Myrtle Bisbee, Ruth Gibbs, and Mabel Hodgman, who play the violins. Nellie Gordon and Norma Roberts take turns at playing the piano. We played at Freshman-Sophomore Prize Speaking Contest and at at Po- mona Grange meeting. N. R.

He started with beginners who are now playinlg very well. The school has bought several new instruments for the band and as fast as they are purchased they are taken bv the students. There is no doubt that within a few years the band will be very proficient. The members of the band are as follows: Merle Libby, Jr. Trombone Jesse Libby Alto Harrv Starbird, Jr. Baritone Frank Kilbreth Bass Erland Starbird Trumpet Jean Bonney Trumpet Katharine Bryant Trumpet Marie Pratt Saxophone Anna Bryant Clarinet Priscilla Bryant Clarinet Marion Sanders Clarinet Harry Starbird. mm. boiuiuinif 10202011 nil GIRLS' ATHLETICS This year the girls' athletics, as well as the boys' have been eliminat- ed, except for a few interclass games. The schedule for these games was as follows: Freshmen vs. Sophomores. Juniors vs. Seniors. The winners of these two games, the Sophomores and Seniors, then played a game in which the Seniors won with a score of 12-10. It was a hard fought game for both sides. A few weeks later, a game with the alumnae was played at which we suffered an embarrassing defeat. Leavitt's team consisted of Laura Timberlake, Norma Roberts, Elaine Gilbert. Jean Bonney, Betrty Roberts, Marie Pratt, Mabel Hodgman, Shir- ley Bempkins, Thelma Bisbee, and Doris Pearl. We are looking forward to the day when Leavitt will once again' be able to compete successfully with schools of its size. Nellie Gordon. .1..lO ... BOYS' ATHLETICS The athletics for this past year have been limited to such an extent that they have been almost entirely eliminated from the school. 10101031nixiniqrinioioirrisrium 24 LEAVITT ANGELUS A few games of interclass basket- ball were played in the following schedule: Juniors vs. Seniors, Fresh- men vs. Sophomores, and finally, Freshmen vs. Juniors. After three tough games the Juniors emerged victoriously as champions of tlhe classes. We also had the honor of playing the alumni, but it was their honor to defeat us by a score of 36-9. Our team for this game consisted of the following players: Clyde Pulsifer, Lauren Gilbert, Jr., Jesse Libby, Nor- mand Rollins, Richard Bray, Arthur Records, and Leighton Gilbert. The boys have spent much time in- doors playing table tennis, but as the grounds and weather permit, we hope to begin practice for interclass base- ball. Our class was left with very few athletes this year, because of many leaving for the armed forces in the pfast months. The remaining classes have lost so few boys tha-t they are still able to assemble a very good team. They have proven this in the field of basketball. Of course, the time will come when peace will rule the world once again. When this occurs, I hope, as do all other boys at Leavitt, that athletics may expand to an even larger ex- tent than before the war.

He made a pass at his Jap opponent. Missed me, hissed the Nip. Did I, boy ! exclaimed Big Joe. Just wait 'till you tries to turn your head.

One of his fav- orite yarns is that of a child who asked his father the difference be- m:0i0i0i0i1x1112rnZ1v30ilv1oQ tween a G-aranld repeating rifle and an ordinary gun.

After giving what information was available, the libra- rian suggested that the patron con- sult the local OPA office. But, said the voice plaintively, this is OPA calling. From birth to age 18, a girl needs good parenlts. From 18 to 35, she needs good looks. From 35 to 55, a wo- man needs personality. And from 55 on, the elderly lady needs cash!
