CHANTY A fog of gloom surrounds each heart As nears the time when we must part— Chorus: We cannot fail, my merry men. Today, my lads, we leave this land, Where by the grace of Fate's kind hand All trouble and distress are banned— Chorus: We cannot fail, my merry men. For life upon this ship we’ve signed And, tho' so dear to every mind, We all must loose the ties that bind Us to the joys we leave behind— Chorus: We cannot fail, my merry men. The voice of life exhorts us all. And we must answer to the call— Chorus: We cannot fail, my merry men. That sacred shrine so glorified We leave, to sail the surging tide Led by the Star of Fate, our guide— Chorus: We cannot fail, my merry men. All o er the Sea of Life we sail, Combating wind and stormy gale, But, trusting Him who cannot fail, We must at last o'er all prevail. Chorus: We cannot fail, my merry men. JOHN FORD.

J. LAYTON MOORE THE ADMIRAL'S SAILING ORDERS Soon the Class of 1935 will join the large group of Ridley Park High School Alumni. In many respects this class is unusual. From point of numbers, it is the smallest graduating class since 1925. Its accomplish- ments and the abilities of the individuals composing it are not told in the mere enumeration of its membership. The meTnbers of the faculty as well as the lower classes of the student body will remember with pleasure the sincere purpose, the effective leadership, and the enthu- siasm marking your High School work. Your participation in every phase of school life has been significant both because of your initiative and because of your great spirit of cooperation. You will find the world outside of school different from that you have experienced here; yet those same virtues, ideals and attitudes that have made your High School career a success will always operate to your advantage. As soon as possible pick out your life's objective, if you have not already done so, and having done this set your compass and chart your course. At times the sailing may seem rough, but you, through patience, industry and honesty of purpose, can arrive at your goal. Whatever may be your activity in the future, you may be sure that good wishes from your many friends here go with you—we all say, Congratulations and Bon Voyage. Seven
