May the memories of your High School days be pleasant ones, and may lite favor you with a lair measure of happiness and success. My Wishes for you may best be expressed in the Words of an anonymous poet, who said: I ask for you, not a life all radiant As others perhaps have done, But that life may have just enough shadows To temper the glare ol the sun.

OUR PRINCIPAL . . He's gone beyond the line of duty To help us to progress, His kind and generous efforts Should guide us to success. Always willing to cooperate, Regardless of situation, Hes done his best to stress The importance of education. l-le greets us with a friendly smile . . , l-le's a man we like to know. May we, in turn, so heed his word As to make his endeavor worthwhile, CHARLES W. SPANGLE From the very beginning of man's struggle for knowledge, self respect, and the recognition of his inalienable rights, the school has been his greatest ally. It is democracy's greatest gift to civilization. Shall we keep our schools strong or shall we do just medium work? This question must be answered by the student body of our school.

We Need More Serious Moments . . EDUCATION . , KNOWLEDGE . , INTELLIGENCE . . these are all big words and behind them is packed a world of- meaning. Dictionaries tell us that education is the act or process of training, that knowledge is familiarity with doing and learning, and that intelligence is the ability to learn and under- stand. The three are just as closely related as a mother, father and child. To be really educated, one must have a degree of intelligence that will, through knowledge, lead to his ultimate end. Without intelligence, educa- tion means nought and we know that every rational being has an intellect. What are we driving at? lust this! An intellect pre-supposes intelligence. Therefore, we can safely say that if brought out and applied, each one of us is capable of learning and it is in the home and educational institutions that this intellect is nurtured. Isn't it too bad that there are so many today who shrink away from higher forms of education and yet have an immense learning power? They are content to sit back and become stagnant. Yet, there are those industrious persons who are not blessed with such a high degree of intelligence, but who plug away to develop more fully knowledge imparted by education. The tools are at hand ready to work with, but how many will pick them up and become familiar with them? We must do more than merely realize that value of education, we must take advantage of it and the opportunities it brings. Will we, in later years, be among the sorry lot who passed these oppor- tunites by, or will we be among those few who can face the wtorld and its problems with a smile of satisfaction and honestly say, I took advantage of my educationl
