OF R. H. . On February 11, 1924, a long-awaited event took place in our community, when the portals of the Roxborough High School were first opened. Under the capable supervision of its faculty, and with the sincere cooperation of its many students through these twenty-live years, a position of honor has been achieved and maintained. May our school ever move forward to greater and more signincant accomplishments. From this site the school emerged Spiritual Guidance

In the future we shall always be proud to sav we were guided through our most important years in school by Leon I Harx ev. CLASS ADVI OR TO THE FORTY-NINERS: My very best wishes and congratulations to each member of the graduating class. Almost six years ago you came to this school with a desire to learn, but facing a long road of uncertainty. You persevered and along with your formal education you learned many of the principles of life that will always be guiding lights on the uncertain seas of life. You were imbued with ideals, voiced and inculcated by men and women who understood your needs and wants. The influence of your high school days has left an everlasting impression in your minds. The time has now come when we must sever the relationship so closely established during your sojourn here. Each one will embark on his or her individual career in life. Across the path of the future will be strewn many obstacles, some serving as stepping stones to a higher planeqothers as stumbling blocks. Whatever we shall undertake, let us always bear in mind the fond memories and associations centered around our Alma Mater, ever- lastingly strengthened in some measure by the knowledge and principles we have learned here. May We all face the future as a new adventureg with determination, courage, kindness, courtesy and consideration and faith in God.
