This is done in the will, poem, prophecy and charactor bx sketches. We also havo a section of history where the “4 sport, club, dramatic, and music activities of the four years have becn put down in brief form. At this stage of the gamo we believe we've ale most enjoyed our four years of high school. We've all made mistakes, but we feel that we've profited We wish to thank all the people who have _ so graciously allowed us to use their name in this Pastiof£ LGeaf we hadni'ti., ; ‘f by them.

As we begin our journey through life, wo can take only the less cumbersome necessities, so we have choson knowledge, common sense, do- termination and advice. Our school, our teachers, and our friends have helped to give us the very best of these tools and provisions. We are off with these tools and supplies to unexplored heights, se- eking adventure, happiness, and suc- cess. If we “crack up it will be our cwn fault. We say thanks once more for such a send off! AVA HI SALUTA TORY. Parents, Faculty, and Friends: Tonight we wish to welcome you? It has been with your aid that we have reached this point, the thresh- old of the door of the future. We must consider ourselves lucky to be worthy of going out into a world that will greet us with open arms. In the near future the world will be depending on us to help plan a post-war peace that will be a. lasting one. We will be given many opportunities to use the know- ledse we have acquired in our twelve years of school. Many of us will find a position with the know- ledge we now have and many others of us, not satisfied, will continue with our education. As we step out into the world, we all realize the need for an ed- ucation and appreciate the one we have now acquired. During these twelve of our classmates have years mony chosen to leave the theater of kmowledge to =), pass through the gates of some other field. We are proud to eay that many of our classmates are now serving in our country's armed forces to preserve peace in order that we may receive this education. Tonight we pay tribute to those who cannot be with us on our night of graduation. t 'Tis a funny world we live in, Its woncers never ccase. All “eivilized people are at war, And savages are at peace. ee 144 '44 144 '44 '44 '44 144 144 144 Vay Aue Mie ENT?
