Foreword It is like taking the sun out of the World to bereave human life of FRIENDSHIP, that which the immortal Gods have given man nothing better, nothing more gladdening We have learned to love our High School during our four years here. This is due to the spirit of friendship as manifested by our Faculty and Student Body. We hope that as we look over the pages of this Rocket in years to come that happy memories of these friendships will linger with us. If they do we shall consider the efforts of our Rocket staff to have been successful. —Norman FAHNCKE, President.
