Remember then, Oh Seniors, if you look back-back on your school days at Jordan High, you must be ready to pay for ite-pay for it with heartaches and longing, pay for it with regret that it is no-w too late to do all the things you might have done-things you would do if you but had the opportunity over again, pay for it with the sad memory that there were so many times when you might have lent a helping hand or a comforting word when you did notg might have made a naime that would have been an honor, not to yourself, but to your schoolg and so many other might-have-beens. But now you must pay with the full realization that: Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been',
