Golden Eagle BalrMrUtry It is said that every rose has its thorn, every joy has its undercurrent of sorrow; certain it is that the class of 1930 finds the pleasure of achievement dimmed by the severing of school and class companionships. ‘‘To the shortest path and the longest lane there comes an end”; inevitable change brings the sweet, sad word—farewell. We leave our school with deep appreciation for the advantages it has given us. Educaton is capital; by investing it wisely we may become factors In the world’s progress. Modern education seeks to give a three-fold development and send forth students upright in character, vigorous and healthy of body, alert and trained in mind that they may give to life the combined efforts of heart, hands and head. It is our pride that we receive our diplomas of graduation from a school that has given us this up-to-date training. We leave our school with a high regard for the dignity of labor—the toil of the hands as well as of the head. All labor which tends to supply man’s wants, to increase his happiness or to elevate his nature is honorable. Labor is the mighty magician who advances civilization through the channels of art, science, music and invention. It is the hope of the boys and girls of the class of 1930 that we may join the ranks of the real workers on the field of action, for the life-giving power of education was intended to fit us, not for cultivated leisure, but for honorable occupation. Members of the Board of Directors: To you we would express our thanks for the privileges you have given us through our school, and for the courtesies extended to our class. Our school has been to us the Bank of Knowledge on which we have drawn for funds. Years of the highest endeaver alone can repay the debt we owe our Alma Mater. We give you our “I-Owe-You” and promise to repay these funds by passing on to the world the best efforts of which we are capable. Members of the Faculty: In behalf of the class of 1930 I would say that we bid you farewell with sincere regret. Your enthusiasm and kindly interest in our advancement has lightened the gloom of lessons and made classroom work a pleasure. You have made our school mean more to us than mere walls of modern architecture; you have invested it with life and endowed it with the solicitous love of a real Mater. We shall ever look back with pleasure to the profitable hours we have spent under your instruction, and we hope the equipment of mind and character which you have labored faithfully to give us may be used to your honor and credit. Classmates: Though the time for farewell is at hand and we shall meet no more as seniors, let us not break the ties that have bound us during the happy years of work in dear Lodge Grass High. Though we may be scattered east and west, on the praries of the north or ‘neath the sunny groves of the south, let us still be loyal, devoted members of the Class of 1930. Though there be a wide divergence in our thoughts and occupations, let us still be joined by the memory of these, the most joyous years of our lives. Though far from these scenes, may there never come a time when we cannot, in memory hold a reunion in some of the trysting-places of our Alma Mater. Classmates, let us resolve anew, amid these happy scenes, to fare forth bravely and so live that we may be proud of each other and that Lodge Grass High may be proud of us. Let us be patriotic. The young people of today hold in their hands the future of our country. There is a crying need for men and women who are willing to sacrifice their selfish desires for the good of their community and fellowmen. It needs citizens who live up to the goldn rule seven days a week; who lift a helping hand to the other fellow. Let us pay our debt to our school by years of noble living. Then here’s a smile for the future, And for our parting, a sigh! Here’s a God speed and bon voyage. And to all a fond goodbye. I. Z. ‘30
