LEVELING AGENTS OF OUR SCHOOL Kindness and Cooperafion Spell Efficiency The salvation of many a student is saved in the . willing help and advice of Miss Stoll and Mr. Strayer. It is Millie who aids in the office, substitutes in the class room and lends a hand . wherever it is needed. 'When everyone is busy and you need some advice or material in a hurry it is Millie who finds time to get it for you. Her patience is almost unbe- lievable. She is particularly appreciated by the mischief makers as her calm countenance serves to quiet fears of apprehension. Mr. Strayer is our technical adviserf, Mildred Stoll When a question of mechanics is in doubt Mr. Strayer gives us the answer. His management of the building is to be com- plimented. He provides us with clean, well ventilated classrooms which makes 'our work easier and more pleasant. Mr. Strayer's willing cooperation in all matters relating to school life is deeply appreciated. He is always where he is needed most and gives all in his power to further the interests of the school. These two persons con- tribute more than we re- alize to keep the wheels of the school running. - Laura Henry Mr. Strayer MONTPELIER SCHOOL REMEMBERED WITH MANY GIFTS The best portion of a good man's life is the unremembered acts of kindness and of love. XVe find that our school is still remem- bered and we sincerely appreciate the tokens which have been given to us. It is better to give than to receive,', and we know that the givers of these gifts are happy also. The Mother's Club presented the Bas- ket Ball girls with warm sweaters of the school colors, blue and white. The team is indeed pleased with them and the other girls now have an intense desire to be- come the owners of one of them. Again we recall that the Mother's Club added to the Domestic Science Depart- ment four large wooden trays for various purposes. Now we are prepared for Page Elerrn work! We are greatly indebted to Congress- man Kniffin of Napoleon for the pictures of George Washington, The Father of our Country, which now hang in our hall of knowledge. Mrs. N. G. Lash, a life-long supporter of Montpelier schools, never forgets the graduating class, and this year in her kind and gracious manner remembered each with an oil painting of the class flower. The class of 1933 express to Mrs. Lash their sincere appreciation. Mr. Riggard, our local photographer, has helped in a very large Way to dispel gloom and add beauty to our halls by presenting each year, a famed picture of the graduating class. These tokens fur- nish our visitors many happy moments. Dorothy Baveu

SENIORS WEIGH MERITS AS END APPROACHES Class Undaunfed by Handicaps Anficipafe Successful Future As the end of our school career is fast approaching, we have experienced both difficulties and pleasures together, are better able to appreciate the unlimited opportunities and aversions that the divine powers have seen fit to bestow upon us during those four short years that must now come to a conclusion. Thus we wonder if in our endeavors we have succeeded in broadening our mental horizon so as to have more firmly established a foundation upon which our in- dividual abilities and faculties might be more fully developed since we first started our journey as Fresh- men. Having met the sufficient requirements we proudly bore the name Sophomores, still little realizing the seriousness of such an undertaking as was ahead of us. just as nations are classified according to their ad- vancement in civilization, the same holds true with the individual. Now being more capable of visualizing the future we become juniors. This year proved a tremendous one and we thus adapted ourselves to being held re- sponsible, assisting with the annual Junior Senior Banquet for our comrades who were about to start their journey upon the Highway of Life. Then too, our play entitled Clarence well merits mention since fortunately it met with such profound approval. As we look back upon the past three years it is with Page Thirlrrn happy buoyancy, nothing to detract from our mutual happiness except the regret that some of our Wayfar- ers have not seen fit to complete the journey with us. Perhaps such was not the will of the Supreme Being or it was merely their personal neglect, but may they too succeed in their life's work. As we gained admittance into our Senior year we were aware of the numerous duties it held for us, but we realized we must put forth our best efforts and master that which comes our way, regardless of its difficulty and the reward we will receive in return. The most outstanding project of this year was the annual publication of The Mirror and it is with greater disappointments, demanding more strenuous cooperation than ever before that it has been made possible, due to the hnancial crisis. With the guid- ance and advice of Miss Burns, our advisor, we have been able to succeed in such an accomplishment and the Class of '33 extends its sincere appreciation to her. Our journey draws to a close, our goal has been reached and the time has come to bid adieu to M. H. S. Thus we leave it to the oncoming conquestors to fill our place and may we go our separate ways always doing justice to the standards of our motto, Nothing Without Divine Guidance. loyn' Buffer
