WE are coming to the end of another school year with this issue of The Amptennian, comemorating the deeds thoughts, feelings and achievements of YOU, the Class of 1931. You will remember the three years, spent in this High School, as the happiest years of your life. Here, you have made life-long friendships,- here, new hopes and ambitions were born,- and here began your highest ideals. It was this atmosphere of enthusiasm and encouragement that made you want to aspire to a finer and more wonderful goal. We, the friends of the Class of 1931, hope to keep this issue of the Amptennian as a source of information and a reminder of your ambitions within the walls of our high school. We are waiting to see if your dreams of 1931 will come true, as they are told in this issue. There might be fewer failures if more people understood the significance of Robert Whitaker s Poem: Live for something, have a purpose And that purpose kept in view, Drifting like a helpless vessel, Thou cans't never to life be true, Half the wrecks that strew life s ocean, If some star had been their guide, Might have long been riding safely, But they drifted with the tide.
