1924 The Nixonia The eyes of the listeners were smiling yet with a sort of wistful, far-away look. 'Phis was Youth speaking; Youth with its hope and gladness and unconquerable optimism! They too, had l een young—and Memories are at once a joy and a sadness. I sav. folks, the student suddently exclaimed, “you are intensely interested in Nixon students. W ould you care to have a copy of our Annual of 1924?” Quick were the replies and joyous. And as each of them received an Annual —the proof in black and white of the loyal work and high ideals of the Senior Class and of the underclassmen, with their aspirations for the coming years—we leave them to judge—as we leave you to judge—whether the students of Nixon High are upholding her noble traditions. The Alumni Association President.............................Kaki. L. Peterson icc-Prcsidcnt..........................Ki by Cray Secretary.................................W ALTER EST Treasurer..............................Gertrude Marsh Of the alumni of Nixon Township High School, the Alumni Association was founded. For we as alumni can no longer go hack to those happy school days; those davs are Ijevond recall. W e can onlv cherish those childhood days, spent in the little school house on the cross roads, as their impressions flit across our minimi s. We can no longer l e boys and girls in high school, except when fond memories of those days are recalled. But we can meet as the alumni, meet old classmates and friends, whose memories we hold dear. Here we can talk over events of days gone by and enjoy a social time together. This is the purpose of the Alumni As ociati n. to promote and foster those memories of school days. The Alumni Association may not mean as much to some of us now as it will in the days to ci me. For as the years pass by we will Ik. separated more and more. Alumni Class of 1918 Lola A.
