JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO YOUR FUTURE Now our school days are over and our future lies before us shining and new. XVhen you take your future in your hands do not dull its brightness by scars of defeat and failure but keep it ever bright with the polish of success. If, in your future, you make a few mistakes, do not let them pass uncorrected and continue on in the future, but, as each mistake occurs, correct it immediately and try not to have it occur again. If you follow these directions, your future will be as bright and valuable as a new Silver Dollar. --Florence Coffey. Giindbdkzvffi l am going to tell you a little about the funny lookingi' instru- ment 1've been playing in the school orchestra. First, its name... B-A-S-S-O-O-N-Bassoon!! All right? Bassoon reeds are double. The vibration of the reed makes the sound. The X'Voodwind quartet in a symphony is composed of clarinet, flute, aboe, and bassoon. The latter is the bass of the quartet. It has a range of three octaves. It isn't very difficult to play-if you know how '..... . Far from being a jazz instrument, the bassoon is very slow respond- ing in the lower notes. Have I said enough to give you an idea as to what a B-A-S- S-O-O-N is? Let's hope so!! --R. P. Saucier. Cin:-Jbdkusfi High schools are beneficial to all students, but 'their benefits are considered in two ways. First, the student who is to go to work at the end of his high school years, knows that the education he received there, is his only help for advancement to a high position. Hence it is more difficult for him to get a high position than the college graduate. The college preparatory student thinks of high school only as a place to prepare him for college. He does not consider it an aid to him in after life. Therefore, both should get the most out of their high school edu- cation because it will be of superb service to them. --Norman Boothby. 6 'r:v3bdYuu9'7 XYhen we say that we have courage we mean that we must face life with confidence, that we must believe that all is well and that no harm will happen to the honest man. It will help us to hold out against all that we have to face. lVe must seize our opportunities with eagerness and enthusiasm, we must be willing to run the risk of taking chances, that is, we must not turn back when we meet the hardships of life and we must not quit if our life is not just like we would like to have it. -Armand Picard.

Bm g JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO There is a smile on every Senior's lips ...... I wonder if that smile comes from the heart. Or is it a smile which masks a deep feeling of sorrow in the depths of every Senior's heart? -Solange Perry. 61Qmfl:vdNu9fT WHY I SHALL BE GOOD I visited the jail the other day Qonly to take pictures, you knowj, but its atmosphere still haunts me. Somehow, I cannot seem to get away from that pervading, deep, dense gloom. Not that the jail was not clean, for it was spotless. But it was 'thc heavy, overhanging odor of disinfectant. Just in fun, Chief Ashton, Captain Picard, Mr. Butler and Mr. Kel- ley locked us in. Us included boys, too, but when those floors shut with a thud! And iron bars all ,aroundl Oh, I assure you I shall be very good! -Eleanor Supovitz. 6- bd5:gf D FINDING YOURSELF Being a voracious reader, I have Often noticed how .many persons of accomplishment were not always in their present profession or call- ing. They began their life work in a totally different line of endeavor. Then Fate or Chance stepped in and placed them in their existing posi- tions. Many students, in finishing school, are often puzzled to know what they shall do next. Indeed, it may become a source of much worry to them. Frank W. Ohannell. 6 Nu1Jl:eIHn9 D Wfith a feeling of happiness, mingled with pangs of regret, we find that the day of our graduation has arrived. NVe greet it with gladness because we have successfully completed these four years of hard workg with sadness because we must part from our dear friends and from teachers, who have made our work lighter and easier. SO, four happy and fruitful years of our lives draw to a close, and we wonder what lies beyond. XK'e try to foresee what worlds lie before us and what new fields of adventure we must explore. No matter what dif- ficulties present themselves, we are prepared to meet them, for these years of study have not been in vain. As we part, let us resolve to try to keep in touch with one another, so that the work and reputation es- tablished by the Class of Twenty-Eight shall not be soon forgotten. Once more, we bid each other farewell. . -Bert Beliveau.
