WHEELER Special credit is due to our advertising managers, Robert Stewart and Clark Robinson, for their splendid work during a difficult business year. EDITORIAL Seniors, we have at last attained the strived for goal of our youth. Commencement. This goal might be rep¬ resented as being similar to the first important port a navigator has reached after a fairly long and difficult journey . His arrival at that place brings great satisfac¬ tion and relief; his goods bring him wealth. We have learned many things about this world through study and experience; and what is a more precious cargo than Knowledge! We have not been entirely without storms and high seas, but the problems we solve now will teach us to be able to weather any troubles that may blow up in the future. During this time we have formed our habits and tendencies; we have learned what a great part of the game Friendship will play, what real competition means, and how we ought to treat those with whom we come in contact. Without school we should not be able to learn the fine points in the art of getting along, and f u that reason it is hard to leave our home of early 1 arning. Graduation is a shock; before one realizes, his life-long group of friends is broken up. That is the unplea a:it part of graduation. In leaving school, however, there is too a certain fascination. We shall soon be able to work to mak ■ our dreams materialize; there are many new things to be done, new worlds to explore and sometime to conquer. We, the young and rising generation, are looked to, to help our country out of the difficult problems which try to ensnare it. On us there is placed the responsibility and hope of the world. And so, class of “32,” with these words, the Pioneer wishes you in your life to come, all happiness and suc¬ cess. R. E. C. ’32
