THE HOOT FOR 1924 Vale ' fix EAR School and fellow school mates, time has come when we, X? the Class of 1924, must say farewell to you. v The straight road that led us safely through four years of V ,lf- lf j happy school days has now come to an end, and branches off into many directions. It is probable that each one of the Class of 1924 will take a different direction from his classmate. Each one of those paths promises us the accomplishment of greater achievements. Why greater achievements? Because our school has inspired us with great hope and faith and courage. Our school training and discipline have shown us how lo con- quer the Giant Despair and to outdistance the Slough of Despond. Through trails and tribulations, joys and gladness we have lgeen partners, aiming toward the same goal, commencement. Now we separate. As a plrting message, we can only express thankfulness and appreciation. We can truthfully say that the four happiest years of o.:r life were spent in the High School on the Height. Time only will tell how we shall miss those sunny halls where many friendly nods and glances have been ex' changed, and many hasty messages communicated during changing of classes. During noon hours, we walked up and down the halls, admired the land' scape through the windows and never failed to pay a visit to our sister class rooms. For in those very rooms were opened doors, disclosing wondrous stores of knowledge, which we fearfully, tearfully, hopefully lingered with the untiring patience of our teachers. We have spent many a happy day planning for some social event and many a jolly time in school meetings. Happier still was the time when events proved successful both social and financially. School spirit increased with every opportunity to increase the glory and honor of our school. What can be greater honor than to have people say that the students of Park Ridge High School show an ardent interest in every school activity and undertaking? Underclassmen hold this honor for if you lose it, how will your conscience hurt at the thought of failure! Love your schoolg without love you cannot promote the ideals for which your school stands. Let there be no greedy class interests or false individual ambitions, for without hearty cooperation of all, there will be no successful accomplish' ments for the good of all. We, the graduating class, have found that narrow selfish interests lead to naught but failure. Never say, Let the rest do it, do it yourself, each one of you and do it well, whatever the task is. Our last year has been very full, for we have been seriously occupied with other than merely text book tasks. There have been projects to do, dances to dance, receptions to tender, sports to boost, plays to act, and our little book to edit, which we lovingly and faithfully submit to you, our Fellow'Students.
