High school life has rewarded us, both by the facts we have gathered and by the talents we have per- fected through applying our acquired knowledge. Details of studying have sometimes interested us, sometimes bored us, but always confronted us, The habit we have formed of doing daily assignments will become a valuable asset, for it will be added to our ambition and determination when we work on proiects in the future. The child is father to the man. The years of our schooling have afforded us unnumbered opportunities to prepare to be so much more the man. We have passed through one important stage of life and are about to enter another. Our departure does not mean the end, but the beginning, Ahead of us lies the opportunity for further study, advance ment, and discovery. Yes, high school classes have certczznly been our pPXSSl-A-LORDS T0 THE FUTUQE.
