Golden tangle llrrarntafum of (Claao i[pij In behalf of the class of 1930 it becomes my duty to bestow upon the Juniors this token of honor; the key to success, prosperity, and happiness. It is with the greatest pleasure that I accept this duty to which due justice can hardly be given. For one year we have cherished this token without which our struggles would have been in vain. The difficult task which it lightened for us and the numerous ideas which t revealed to us we shall never hope to recall. As time is fleeting we can but here call attention to the untold abundance of brightness with which it has filled our Senior year. We bid you Juniors to consult it in time of doubt or difficulty. Learn to trust its unerring reply which is for your own welfare and that of your fellowmen. Make it your personal duty to apply this talisman to all your unconquerable difficulties and unbearable burdens and you have our assurance that, this done on your part, the solution, clear and simple, shall lie exposed to view. Not far hence is the time when you shall take our place and not until then shall you see, more clearly than words can express, how this friend never failing shall play a part in your future career. But when this time will have come we trust that you will fill the vacancy made by us in such a manner that no fault or flaw can ever be detected. We have set a standard, Juniors, that is not easily attained. Yet we know that you have the ability to reach this standard both morally and intellectually and urge you to exert yourselves to the utmost of your ability and to take every possible advantage and assure you that the results will be none but satisfactory. True to our promise have we kept this token throughout the year spotless and without a blemish and trust that you in due turn may say the same. It is with the greatest sorrow that we part with it; the lone star which has guided us through difficulties inconceivable, the assistant which has lightened our burdens unbearable, but dear Juniors, we think not first of ourselves and our own welfare but of you and yours. In accordance therewith take this key and------ To bygone days, heroic deeds, Your souls turn back with thought of yore To bliss once yours, but nevermore; Then, ah, then may you plainly see How useless the struggles of life would be Without this leader, this guide and friend, With always a helping tend to lend. ‘ • T May it awaken the spirit which within you lies. And help you to the topmost round to arise, Guide your footsteps, soothe your fears, Lengthen life’s journey, lessen life’s tears. May you at awakening on the morrow know no evil plain or sorrow, But rejoice to find your name a permanent place in the Hall of Fame. A. Z. ’30 [231

Golden Eagle Arrrjrtatirr nf (Clans ftrg JUNIORS RESPONSE SENIORS: It is with considerable amusement that we have listened to your advice. We wish to congratulate you on your marvelous achievements. Undoubtedly your portraits or your busts should be included among those now on exibit in the Hall of Fame. Your extraordinary feats during the past year should make old Lodge Grass High forever famous. However, we have accepted it all with a grain of salt. In reply let us say that we also consider ourselves “some pumpkins” and if we cannot surpass the achievements of the Senior Class of 1930, we shall feel that we have indeed made a very poor use of our talents. We shall feel like hiding our heads under a basket. If the truth were told, our standings during the past year have compared quite favorably with those of the previous Junior Class, it might be embarrassing to some of you should we go too closely into detaials As for Athletics, we think we can hold our own with the present Senior Class, or any other class for that matter. As for dramatics, music or debate, we are willing to take our chances with you. We trust that you may derive great satisfaction and pleasure in so doing. Again we wish to thank you for your kind words of advice. M. B. ‘31. THE STRONG BOX OF LIFE Build for yourself a strong box. Fashion each part with care Fit it with hasp and padlock; Put all your troubles there. Hide therein all your failures. As each bitter cup you quaff; Lock all your heartaches within it. Then sit on the lid and—laugh. 1241
