'Taking girls as they come I like them better as they go. As a business man Louis is a little pessimistic. As a gigolo, he is optimistic. As a young men, he is successful. Need we tell you any more? Best of luck in the future, Lou, NORMAND FOURNIER . . . Peenie English Club, 1-2-33 French Club, 1-2-35 Dramatics, 1-4, Baseball, 4, Glee Club, 1-2-3. Normand is athletic-minded and believes in letting a little thing as chemistry drop in favor of Cmost naturallyj, girls! His favorite sport we think is horse-back riding. Is' it Normand? Although he is always in the thick of mischief and a joke, he can be depended on for some serious thinking. We wish you much success, Normand. IRENE MARTIN . . . Dimples Hiking Club, 3, English Club, 1-2-3-43 French Club, 1-2: Glee Club, 1-2, Dramatics, 43 Gregg Club, 4. Here's wishing heaps of good luck to one of the quiet girls of the Senior Class, who is at the same time a good sport. We all like Irene's charming dimples and admire greatly her ability to be everyone's friend. We know she'll succeed in whatever she doe . TRUMAN MESSECAR . . . Tru Baseball, 3-4, football, 35 basketball, 1-2-3-45 Dramatics, 3-4, Gregg Club, 45 Science Club, 43 Winter Carnival 4' Hiking Club, 35 English Club, 1-2-3-45 secretary of Glee Club, 1-2-3-4. Tru seems to get much enjoyment out of asking girls for the assignments and also for grades' they have received. We often wonder if it really is just an interest ln classwork or his peculiar way of starting a conversation! Best of luck, Truman. RITA MICHAUD . . . Ritz Gregg Club, 4, English Club, 45 Dramatics, 45 basket- ball, 45 secretary of Student Council, 4. Ritz is a new member of our class, but she has made many new friends. We hear that the Savages are making quite a rumpus around the Michaud residence--but we also hear Ritz doesn't mind! Plymouths don't bother her! We are sure that success awaits her. MARGERET NOEL . . . Maggie French Club, 2-35 English Club, 2-3-45 Glee Club, 2-33 Science Club, 45 Dramatic Club, 43 Gregg Club, 3-4. The high school will miss Margeret and her great artistic abilities. We've kept her rather busy making posters for the various basketball games and social activities. We may safely say that she has more than extraordinary ability with a pencil or pen and a few sheets of drawing paper. Bonne Chance, Margeret. mmummQammeewaewawaweamaawmehw5190 BC-Wawaamaaaaawwwaawahmwaawwhmahwwema

We, the students of this class, cannot answer this great question, as our ships are just embarking on this mighty voyage into a world where diilti- cult and perplexing problems challenge the people of this new age. Let us go back one hundred years. This hall would have been lighted by candles, our parents and friends would have come on foot, on horseback, or in crude carriages over trails and roads, few and bad, while tonight, we have merely pressed a button, and the hall is flooded with light. You have come from far and wide in streamlined cars, on well-paved roads. Our parents and grandparents say we have changed, this is true. There are several reasons for the astonishing changes in the way we live today. The most important cause of change is the invention of the new machines, that is automobiles, streamlined trains, airplanes, radios, and steamships. Our predecessors must remember we are living no longer in a world of 'con- tentment, but in a world of speed and progress. We were born in a different atmosphere from theirs. Our one aim is recognition and its resulting pros- perity. We often hear people complaining that the young people of today are no longer the same, that the home is no longer a home, because the old respect, obedience, and loyalty have seemed to disappear in the progress of this generation. We are different because we realize that time and tide wait for no man. We must adjust our lives so that we may fit into this modern world. How may we do this? In one way only-education. Our great men of today are all well educated, yet they are puzzled by the great prob- lems with which they are confronted in this machine age. If they are per- plexed by these problems, what are we young people to do, if we have not the means for a more useful education? The same thing they have been doing for centuries, starting out on their own, finding jobs with meager wages, and merely existing from year to year. What everyone needs today is better education to prepare him to take his place in this age of magical changes. Therefore, I appeal to the graduating class to go into this modern world with a spirit that cannot be broken by the new problems that challenge us. Ruth Reed, '37.
