THE YELLOW JACKET Senior Class Poem When tlu sun is sinking behind the hill And the clouds give off a purple light. The gold is lingering with the purple still The world prepares for the coming night. While age retires to its favorite nooks And dreams of things gone by. Youth goes «»n without a backward look. And thinks of the things that before them lie. May youth strive to keep the book unstained As the tender years depart from life, May the highest aims he obtained. With more of love and less of strife. When life’s sun is sinking low And the gold has turned to gray. When the years have lost their golden glow Then age has won the day. Willie Mae Taught Eighteen

THE YELLOW JACKET President’s Address Parents. Faculty. Fellow Classmates and Friends: It affords me a peculiar pleasure to welcome you to this, the greatest occasion of our lives. It is the day towards which we have eagerly looked forward., and for which we have labored faithfully and earnestly in our efforts during our stay at this institution. We. the class of 24 are very glad to express our appreciation to our parents and many friends who have made it possible few us to reach this point in our educational career. To you we extend a most cordial and hearty welcome to share with us the joys of this occasion, which shall ever Ik- the happiest among our most cherished memories. As we come to the day of graduation and commencement, a spirit of just pride and a feeling of success comes over each and every one of us. for we have labored faithfully and have come at last to receive the crown of victory over all the trials and tribulations of a high school career. Fellow Classmates, as we pass from the walls of this institution, far more important to us than the mere knowledge we have gained from lxw ks. is the broadening of our narrow mental horizon, so that our visions may begin to increase and expand till we can get a broader and clearer vision of life and of service to mankind. It matters not what walks of life we may pursue, our success in the future depends entirely on our faithfulness to duty, and may our efforts ever be worthy and to the extent of the powers God has given us. Whatever we undertake, let us endeavor to do it with the spirit that nothnig worth while is accomplished without lalior. In the future let us work with but one great purpose in view. Make the whole world brighter, happier and better by our having lived in it. To the success we have attained in school, we owe a three-fold debt of gratitude to our parents our faculty, and our friends. First of all. we are indebted to our parents who have lal»orcd hard at home, providing for us the necessities of life, who have made many sacrifices in our behalf, and by their untiring efforts and encouragement, have made it possible for us to be here on the platform today. Also, we owe a debt of gratitude to our faculty and our dear old McAdory High School. f« r we deem it an honor to graduate from this, one of the very best and most highly recognized high school of Jefferson County. Finally, we are indebted to our many friends and school officials, who have ever been ready to lend their support and encouragement. Now to you fellow classmates, I must express my sincerest appreciation and deepest gratitude for the great honor you have so kindly bestowed upon me by voting me your president. Your kindness and most hearty cooperation have always been greatly appreciated, and in serving such a loyal class to the best of my ability. I have always felt a keen pleasure and a distinct honor. Now as we leave this institution and enter the various walks of life, may the passjx rt «»f our journey 1h “ The service that we render each day as we go. Hu on Hickman. Kintteen
