Holcad Staff The Holcad Staff has from the be- ginning of school, worked diligently to produce a book of local color, a Rush- 1 ville High School Annual from cover to cover. The staff was organized about three weeks after the beginning of school, with Lowell Craig as Editor-in- Chief and James Myers as Business Manager, and the work was begun at once. Gradually the book took form as they all dilligently applied them- A selves to the task before them, a task which was new to all as none had ever before had very much experience in journalism. Each part was worked out step by step in a most careful manner by the different members of the staff and to them is due much credit. Under a serious and difficult handi- cap of having to reduce the cost of the book to nearly one-half of the cost of the last year ' s annual, each one had to work carefully. They all did their best and the staff, with the aid of its most efficient sponsor, Mr. Whitmer, feels that it has not been a failure al- together.

ROBERT MEYER He conquers who wil znior History The rough and stormy path that leads from the valley of the shadow of ignorance of the lofty heights of know- ledge has been at last scaled by the Class of ' 27, after four years of rugged toil. Starting as innocent and igno- rant Freshmen, we took the brunts and pleasures as they came, together, some slipping and others pausing, yet all ever striving towards that faint and misty light, a star so to speak, which spelled graduation. Steering our course towards that never changing light of destiny, we struggled onward ever drawing nearer and nearer to that goal. Each step taken gave an impetus to the next, un- til gradually the path grew less stony and the flowers were found here and there along the way. At last the height for which we were striving, success, has been attained. As we look back, the path appears no longer rough and rugged. It holds many dear memories and fond remem- brances. To the future we now look and see rising beyond us a higher peak from which will be seen a still more beautiful panorama.
