Through the years many, many more . millions have been invested so that today our schools are known throughout the length and breadth of this land for their winning teams, their high scholastic standing, and their superior ratings in musical and dramatic circles . . . We seniors are proud of our school and so, in behalf of all the loyal grads and the peppy undergrads, as well as our- selves, we give a big vote of thanks to you citizens, who have paid the millions of dollarsg to you men at the helm, who have planned so wisely: and to you members of the faculty, who have patiently taught us and guided us in all our classes and numerous activities. You have tried to give us the best so that we may live happy useful lives in a world community. In return we shall try to be the finest kind of citizens so that you will feel that your millions have been well invested . . . So. here's to you, to the future, and to this edition of the Optimist, in which we have tried to portray our senior year --our work and our play, our successes and our failures, our joys and our sorrows.
