'f ie ffi IElll'I'0lllAI.S sz: -t We, the Class of 1929 are Hmodernsf' We belong to this modern age with its wealth of knowledge in science, religion and many other branches. It has been our good fortune to witness epoch-making events which shall be written down in history to be read by our posterity. We are accepting, as a matter of course, inventions which would have frightened and thrilled our ancestors of a few generations ago. During the past four years we have remained in step with this rising modernism until today we are the youth to whom that term is applied. We have seen wonderful things happen, but so have others, and even greater things are expected of us. We are going forth into the world along various walks of life assured that we shall rise to the very top of the profession which we have chosen. Jordan High has fitted us for our life work. But, far more important, it has also taught us invaluable lessons in concentration, cooperation and char- acter. We will need these lessons as much as the more tangible Algebra, Histo- ry and Latin, for in this enterprising world we shall soon find that in the con- test for leaders of industry it is, in every case, a survival of the fittestf' Small wonder it is, indeed, that we dread the severing of the bonds which have bound us to Jordan High for the past four years. Soon we will have only memories of these, the happiest years of our life. These memories will brighten our later years and lighten our hearts when we are deep in the struggle of Hlivingf' Let us now say farewell, Class of 1929, to our principal, to our beloved teachers, and to each other, retaining the memories and friendships which we have made, making them not transitory but a permanent part of our lives. As the time goes on our memories may become dimmed, but in our hearts will grow stronger a cry which swells into a shout, L, H. S. forever! -Anna Claire Mullin Editor-in-Chief THE VALUE OF TEAM WORK Perhaps some of you have never stopped to consider some of the important things that are taught during the four years at Jordan High School. One of these is team work. I think this is an important subject, and that it is one that is not treated seriously enough by us. I have heard people say, Why should I give my good money for such a con- tribution? and sitting down they look just as satisfied with themselves, con- fident that the world will go round without them. It may, I wonlt dispute that, and it may not. Now just think if every- one said this, where would the money for the contribution come from?
