To The Class of 31 » » » » FOUR y«4f§ (mv« passed ■since your higih sdbooll expedience began. These have deen years of work, deyelopuient and, it is hoped, pleasure Pleasure because of 4 feel- ing that you have grown in stature and knowl- edge; and because your associations here have been of that type which make for a last- ing friendship with both fellow students and teachers, f© place ©ur school a little higher on the ladder of efficiency in training young people and to make our Alma Matera bitmore synonymous with prog- ress, is ©ur aim from year to year. The realization of our aim is very largely dependent upon the general ability, spirit and morale of our student body, and upon that particular leadership which Seniors are privileged to exercise. It is with deep satisfaction and pleasure that teachers and Principal of Schools look back upon four years of association with this class and are able to see so prominently its many acts of kindness and good sportsmanship, all of which have helped to build that spirit and morale which is indispensable to progress. Our relationship of pupil and teacher is soon to terminate. Having ended your high school career you are now to take places among the alumni body of this educational institution, This relationship, though less intimate, is none the less important to Ridley Park High School. During the past few years it has been the policy of the school to follow up its graduates. It is gratifying to leam that almost without exception they have taken places of responsibility in business and, despite adverse economic conditions, are employed. To know that such a large number of our academic graduates are entering higher institu- tions of learning and are continuing their education satisfactorily is commend- able to teachers and students alike. That similar success may attend you in whatever you undertake is the most Sincere wish of us all, We shall ever be interested in your activities and accomplishments and while we must say au revoir let us pledge that it shall not be good-bye , J. LAYTON MOORE.
