AVE ATQUE VALE- - As I stand here cleaning out my locker for the last time, I suddenly realize that I am bidding farewell to q great many things. I am bidding farewell to the school itself, with its rows of lockers, each concealing the identity of its owner, and call its various rooms, each holding a host of memories. Farewell to the tension of basketball tourna- ments and to the friendly rivalry of all sporting events. Farewell to the excitement of the plays, the dances, and the Junior-Senior Prom-to the inspiring feeling of achievement which goes with the completion of the Corni- val and distribution of the Annuals. And finally, a partial farewell to classmates and teachers, for never again will our relationships be quite the same: But Hhope springs eternal in the human breast and ' have high hopes for even better things. With the help of the experience and knowledge l have gained during my high school years I feel that I can surmount each obstacle in my path and, having done so, can look forward and upward with a light heart to the vast expanse of the future. -J. T.

GEORGE L. BAKER, Ill Tis not my talent to conceal my thoughts. vAddison Our First acquaintance with George was when he took us by storm in his First year and was elected president of the eighth grade class. Since then we have never ceased odmirlng his busi- ness ability. We were so im- pressed, in fact, that we chose him for our president again in our junior year. An outstanding quar- terback on the football team and shifty guard on the basketball team, George is known to a great many of Cincinnati's ardent sports fans. During the spring and sum- mer he can usually be found swinging a tennis racket or a golf club, and in the former capacity he has helped Ploinvillels tennis team to win many a match. Al- though we know that Georgels most cherished ambition is to be a millionnaire, we've seen him quite contented when he was iust relaxing with his friends and lis- tening to a Kostelanetz recording. NANCY BERRY lKThe joy of youth and health her eyes displayed. eCmbbe You all know Nancy. You might say she's the gal who has yelled her way through high school, be- ing one of our cutest cheerlead- ers. Her school spirit knows no bounds and her A-l- personality has been an asset to many an or- ganization. Among these are the G. A. A. and the YeTeens, of which she was a very capable president during her senior year. You can always count on Nancy to be the life of cr party, a fact which accounts for her office as Senior Dance Chairman. If you ask Nancy what she's proudest of she's sure to say My 20-inch waist line. Who can blame her! Her plans for the future are a little unsettled. A lot of them de- pend on where a certain basket- ball player goes to college. We have enioyed Nancy. She has added much to our class. JOHN MILTON BLACKFORD ilAs a tower, that, firmly set, Shakes not its top for any blast that blows. -Dcmte A stroke of good luck came to our class in its sophomore year, when Upper Sandusky sent us Bud Blackford, Here was a lad whose leadership and depend- ability were so noticeable that no doubt most of us earmarked Bud right then as the person we wanted for Senior Class Presi- dent. You can blame Bud for all the occasions when your naps in 310 have been disturbed by that hot trumpet from across the hall. The bond will miss Bud next year, and the chorus will have to look for a substitute for his rich buss voice. A great admirer of Senator Cloghorn's, Bud is the only person in this neighborhood who can top Mr, Martin's puns. He's always goodnatured, but you never want to be on the other slde of an argument with him, for he usually knows what he is talk- ing about, and he will talk until he's proved his point.
