L. OUR TEAt1I1l+1RS Wherever you go, liast or West, you will hear of teaehers, good, bad and iiidit'l'erent, but Where will you find a better lot of teaehers than we have right here in Jordan High School? Well, l can tell you, you will have a. long long search and will end up right where you started. They are always ready to help those who are in need of help, ready to sacrifice their time for a good cause, or ready for a good time with the rest of us. Of course, now and then they make us a present of a period or two, but we usually deserve it, Hlld maybe more. You ean't. hold that against theme, they just want to show us how very dignified they can be. Who can forget the good times we have had together during the past four years ? Our teachers have always been ready to help us in any out- side activity, ready to aet as chaperoncs at parties, class rides, hikes and trips that may have been taken. Recall, for example, that well remem- bered Washirigtoii trip! And very fine ehaperones they make too, not too mueh so, but jolly good company and ready to be youngsters with the rest of us. We eertainly hope that their recollections of these good times will be as pleasant as ours. l wonder how many of us realize that the years spent in high sehool are the best years of our life, and that our teaehers are our best friends? Maybe we do not realize it now, but We surely will later. So let us all join in in saying, Hers-'s to our teachers, the best in the state, the best in the United States, long life, health, wealth and happiness! Nellie Dawes HAPPINESS VIA FRI ENDS The road was long to the little cottage on the outskirts ot' the town: a long, thirsty, road, with deep ruts in the gravel. or perhaps, in the mud. Large stones, embedded in the gravel, blocked the way of the weary passersby, causing them to stub their toes as they plodded along. Tiny stones played hide and seek in the shoes of the few who ehanced to pass that way. And at the end of that road, a cottage, only a cottage. but it was a shrine of Happiness that lay at the end of the long dusty road,- llappiness via Love!
