the Senior year, Sue King, a real journalist, Charles Smith, a great basket- ball and football man, Ruth McDonald, a proficient newspapur columnist and a great help on the refreshment end of our partiesg Dragon Tesla, our second Marshall Goldberg, and George Shenefelt, a great man in the artistic field. In all we have gained that priceless jewel of friendship and as a sculp- tor chisels a relief in sections, so we have carved our years in the alluring yet elusive quest for education. We have tried to carve them as the master carves, perfect in execution and enduring as the granite of his work. Tessie Stark FAREWELL Our school road has come to an end, And 'ere we pass life's next bend, We pause to bid our last adieu, To students dear and teachers true. Tho' we've traveled some rough rocky roads, And had to carry some heavy loads, We've always had a teacher's hand, To bring us safely to new land. And students too have been an aid, As our school road was slowly paved, For without their endless help and trust, Gur road would now be merely dust. And now as we leave this highway of life, We hope that no matter how hard the strife, You'll seek to lengthen and strengthen the road, That is at present your school abode. Since we see now an untraveled road, And on our shoulders lift a new load, VVe, the Seniors of Moon Township High, Say to you Good-bye, Good-bye. Ruth McDonald

Thinking back to that first year in high school, we remember that be- cause of the large number of students in the class, we were divided into two different sections. However, both divisions were able to submit a fine record of their activities during the first year. The members of the academic section busied themselves at selling homemade candy, and at the end of the term were able to present to the athletic fund a considerable amount of money for the next year's football team. The members of the commercial class gave the outstanding social event of the year. This was the real get- together party of the class, and the faculty joined with us to make the night a memorable occasion. So, as freshmen, we had made a splendid start and faced the future armed with great hopes. In union there is strength is a true statement, for as we entered our sophomore year we were as one group. During this year we witnessed the first football game of Moon Township, and we were proud that several of the sophomore boys were on that Hrst team. We must also uphold our reputation for throwing parties which were famous for the decorations and entertainments. Transforming the gymnasium into the deck of a ship, we invited the entire Senior High School to the hop Even as we are standing on the last step of our beloved high school, we hear recollections of that colorful dance. In our Junior year, we largely directed our energy toward the filling of our class treasury. It was our pleasant duty to fete the graduating class with a Junior Prom. To raise funds for this, we conducted an Easter egg raffie. The proceeds from the raffle were large enough to permit us to enter- tain the Seniors in a very royal manner. For the prom decorations, we brought a breath of spring' into the auditorium in the form of gigantic bouquets of lilacs. With the scent of lilacs and the strains of beautiful music, everyone spent a very delightful evening in Lilac Time. As the year was drawing near to its close, we began to realize that we had but one more year in which to work in Moon High School. We also had the desire to publish a year book that would be a compliment to us. With this in mind we began to sell candy during the last few months of the term. Returning for the last time to Moon High School in September of '37, We set out to make a bigger and better issue of f'The Flame and by con- tinuing to sell candy to finance part of the book, we have at last brought this desire to reality. Socially, we held skating parties, a tea dance, and last of all, but not least, the Senior Round-Up from which we returned home in the late eve- ning with that tired and well-fed feeling. To mention names and deeds is superfiuous yet these pearls we find occupying the central portion of the priceless necklace: Addison Daily, so efficient was he in the Junior year that we elected him as our leader for
