ADVISER'S MESSAGE S WE pause to look back for a moment at the end of our school course, we can observe many things which stand out prominently-some happy hours and satisfactory achievements there have been for all of usg some unhappy and unsuccessful ventures also return to haunt us at this time. We are thus able to glimpse at a section of our own lives and realize that while we have been attempting to prepare for future life, We have also been living. Thus we can understand the idea so often ex- pressed that education is not preparation for a life work,-it is life itself. -- How fortunate has been our lot! Our very difficulties which loomed so large at the time we first met them have turned out to be the blessings which have helped us to understand and appreciate our life. There are few of us indeed who do not wish that We could start over again, if only to see how diHerent we would be as a result of the second opportunity. But of course we should like to avoid all the unpleasant things this second time. Perhaps we should discover then that even with this extra opportunity We might make the same or even worse errors. It is certain that we would learn again some of the same lessons. We, undoubtedly, would find that the ideal of life would still be to live pure, right wrong, follow the King, else wherefore born? And then we should be ready to reaffirm the lesson which We now have learned-that the struggle with difficulties makes us strong. We could also realize as we do now, that S'The richest hours of all our high school days Are those we spend in fellowshipg For naught outlives the parting of the ways Like comrades' laughter, song and grip. But as we pause let us look forward as well as backward, let us renew our faith in ourselves and make the most of the special opportunities open to us as pioneer graduates of this magnificent new Ridley Township High School and go forth into the world con- Hdent that as we have made good in our own youthful sphere, so can we succeed in the world outside, reflecting credit not only upon ourselves but paving the Way for those who Watch us now, to follow our lead to greater heights. We have had a splendid year together and I congratulate you upon your many successes, and as we part to go our several ways, let us remember those cheerful inspir- ing words, Anything is possible! May health, happiness and prosperity be yours, RALPH BOYD SHARER. Page Sixteen

SENIGR Page Eighteen F GEM AREWELL Sad thoughts 'mid the sunshine that brightens the scene Come to mind when so soon we must part, That the ties which have bound us in sympathy keen M nst be broken so soon in our heartsg That we meet with our classmates in high school no more As wenzefreqnently met to the last, That we seldom again shall come to its door As we've happily done in the past. But our thoughts will oft return to this spot On the wings fy' remembrance and praise, And forget this place, we know we shall not, For it's here that welee spent our best days. Now, farewell to our school and farewell to each friend Who has lighted onr pathway with lore, T hongh today we must part, still our prayers will ascend That our class be nnfitecl above.
