 Jacu.iti L embers To the Members of the Graduating Class: After twelve years of schooling you are now ready to graduate from high school. Some of you will attend higher institutions of learning and others will go to work. All of you will have the responsibil- ities of citizens and voters, regardless of the field of endeavor in which you engage. We are living in a troubled world, but you must now begin to assume responsibilities for continuing the ideals and principles of our constitution—in other words, to preserve and continue the American way of life. Please accept my best wishes for your success. Sincerely, C. A. Anderson. C. A.

Sullivan McDowell President Ed McLean and speaker of congress Lillian Weiss, with the help of Jean Spink, first vice-president, and Jacqueline Block, second vice- president, has brought to a close another successful term. We had excellent rallies for each game and more and better dances than ever before. Faced with the A.A.A. budget cut, treasurers Ed Walsh and Don Peters worked to overcome this handicap. They did achieve their aim and before the end of the term had the budget balanced. They made it possible for student body card holders to enter the fair several times for the price of ten cents. Custodian Bill Gunther kept trophies and bulle- tin board up to date, thus keeping the student body informed on all activities. Our youngest officer, Athletic Manager Jack Schipper, found himself buried under stacks of nickles and dimes but was able to come out on top of the pile holding a fine record for ticket sales. Cheerleader Bill Sullivan and his two assistants, Norman Applebaum and Bill Weiss, have done a fine job directing the card stunts and the cheers of the students in the grandstands. Judge Cecil McDowell called the Student Court to order every Wednesday morning. He deserves credit for the outstanding way in which he handled the criminal” offenders of Polytechnic.
