The York Chronicle y CREED The time has arrived when we have to enter into a large world of duties and experiences. We believe in many great and good things. First and Supremely, we believe in God our Creator and Preserver. We believe in our future, and in the possibilities of advancement, and we realize that in all progress lies the certainty of change. As a child believes most of all in its Mother, we believe in our High School, and all the educational advantages that it represents. We cannot tell you how deeply we believe in our principal and teachers who have labored so faithfully and patiently in our behalf. We believe in our National Flag with its glorious stars and stripes of Union and Liberty. We believe in our Student Government, a body which has labored very faith- fully to make the school better in every way. We believe in our motto, “Tonight we are launched. Where shall we anchor ? ’ ’ Ruth Moore s y % y % y % y y y % y % SENIOR MESSAGE As Freshmen we started out To seek a higher goal. As Sophomores, a higher step, Each memory dear we hold. Then we were Juniors, oh, how great! With only one more year To spend at dear old P. H. S. A place we love so dear. Now that we are Seniors, So soon from thee to part, We leave to you this message From each and every heart. The four years spent at P. H. S. Dear to us have been. Your influence which will ever live Will help us each task to win. We thank our school for making Our days so glad and bright, And all through life our school Will be our shining beacon light.
