President, Dorothy Myersg Vice-President, Marjory Millerg Secretary and Treasurer Erma Fortneyg Sponsor-Mr, Vizard, , We enjoyed one party at the school entertaining the freshmen.

And We stood all alone to the battle of life, what a dreary old world it would be! Life is sweet just because of the friends We have made and the things which in com- mon We shareg We Want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. It's giving and doing for somebody else-on that all life's splendor depends, And the joy of the world, when you've summed it all up, is found in the making of friends. Twelve
