rZiLAss lnpeiolaiiw Our high school days are ended, The day of our triumph is near, But sorrow and joy are blended As graduation is here. Tho' some of our friends will leave us, As different paths we take, This sorrow will be softened By the newer friends we make. To each and all our teachers, Our friends and parents, too, We wish to give our hearty thanks For helping us come through. As year followed year while we studied, Till four of them had gone past, Some sad things we've encountered, But more of the joys that will last. But brightest of all the glories Stands out the day alone, When proudly victorious and happy, A high school diploma we own. Now, saying good bye to the high school, Out on life's highway we go To battle for future achievements, For success means hard work, you know. Though we're leaving this high school forever, We ll always be loyal to you, And we hope the seniors of next year Will be just as faithful and true. LILLIAN SYMINGTON

SAlILllUllU5klIUlDlIQY Dear Parents, Teachers, and Friends: We welcome you here tonight with great pride to share this hour of embarking on our new paths of life. For many years, we, as a class, have been sheltered in this beautiful modern home of education. Our teachers patiently watched a tiny spark of knowledge, in each individf ual, brighten and glow under their careful supervision. No efforts have they spared to kindle this spark into a radiant fire of ambition. To further this ambition we must leave this haven, with cherished memories of joys and friendships, and set out for the goal we wish to attain. The road leading to this goal may be rough and rocky, or it may be smooth and shiny, if our aim is fixed and our grit and determination are strong enough, we will succeed in reaching our goal. Now may we enjoy this evening with you dear friends, to whom we wish to extend a true Welcome, for we owe so very much to you for the encouragement and help you have given us. -RUTH JANE RAHILLY.

ll'llllSlWDlIQY GIDIIF 'ICIILASS 4lDlF lllQllH51I5 Let us imagine we are about to ascend a long flight of stairs. We begin at the bottom step in September, 1932. We are Freshmen, ready to begin a new phase of life in different surroundings. Some go forward boldly, others prefer to stay behind, out of the limelight. After the first few steps we hold a class meetingg we elect Howard Tassell, president, Ruth jane Rahilly, vice president, and Virginia Eikost, secretaryftreasurer. We proceed upward again and are initiated by the Sophomores. About this time we form a Science Club, one of the first extrafcurricula activities since our admittance to the high school. Those who had started with an even, regular pace at the beginning, are now finding the journey comparatively easy. We have now reached the second division of our upward grade, we are Sophomores. We eagerly elect class officers and we give Harriet Heath the class presidency, Dalton Buckley, the vice presidencyg and Charlotte Clark, the position of secretaryftreasurer. During this year, we are more absorbed in getting our studies for the rest of the journey to the top. Still keeping our even pace we .enter the third division-our junior year. We are more determined than ever to make the grade. We are further inspired -by the revelation that we are upperclassmen. As class leaders, we choose Russell Lecklider as president, Junior Schultz as vice president and Alice Mary Eaton as secretaryftreasurer. They were very capable of the privilege we bestowed on them. New activities and courses are opened to us. Cur travel upward becomes not only one of gaining knowledge, but also one of social affairs. The first social affair of our junior class is a Masked Ball. Everyone is to appear as a symbol of something or other. It is an affair that will be forgotten by few.
