i lDELI'IIn'IQ5Z Arai Truth The universe is the supreme labyrinth, through which man gropes his painful way, ofttimes stumbling into blind cornersg yet, guided by the dim light along its tortuous corridors, ever progressing, steadfastly striving to attain its inner court, all the while not knowing whether he will find there the den of the Minotaur, or the Garden of Paradise Wood I want to be alone at night in a wood That spring has touched with softness. -Victor Davis Ina I want to see the storm clouds Brew far in the west and overawe me. I want to feel the fingers Of the wind tear through my hair. I want to see the lightning's Vivid flash, and feel the rain beat my brow. I want to race beneath the Stormfswept trees until I drop exhausted. Then will I find peaceg lltir Then will tormenting doubts and fears be driven from my soul. - he Of Cther Worlds S What is the color Of a midnight sky? Is it the royal purple of the Studded with celestial gems That kings can't buy? gods, Or is it the dull dark depths Of immeasurable space? Where the window lights Of all the homes of heaven Shine through drapes of lace ? rman Moist Or, mayhap, the glamour of a city street, Quite like the ones we know, With city lights and buildings tall, Where people meet, see other worlds, And wonder as they go. -Helen Laird

i a l llDEI.I'II'IQ5Zil l i i i The school year 1931-52 has brought to Delaware High nn unusual number of post graduate students. The above members of the class of '31 who have been in school this year are from left tn right: Victor Davis, Wilda Harter, Frank Fagley, Mary Stimmel, and Robert Ludnian. Willis High School Alumni Association Founded HEN, in 1928, the memhers of the present senior class made their entrance into Delaware High School, they looked forward with expectation, and not a few qualms, to the four years which they were to spend together, working for the same goal, playing the same game, and striving with the same amhitions. The joyous years succeeded one upon the other, years said to he the most pleasant and happy in life, until the class now finds itself upon the hrink of graduation--on the verge of the precipice which ends high school days. Soon the class will disintegrate: another one will take its place, and the class of l93'l will go out ofthe life of the high school. This is hut an example of every graduating class. Every one, upon graduation, plunges more or less into ohlivion. We may ask why connection with high school life should he so peremptorily severed. Surely our high school experiences are worthy of some rcmcmhrance. These four years are among the most important in directing the life course of the student. Why should they he forgotten? lt is clear that some connection must he maintained hetween the school and those who left it. W'ill' it not, then, he most effective to prolong the relationship hy alumni class organizations, which will extend and cement the school system? Any class, then, which hegins in its freshman year and which rises to the throne of seniority will find itself an integral part of the school. Such an organization known as the Alumni Association has existed mildly in our com' munity for a numher of years, somewhat in the condition of a dead log---defunct. Of all past classes only one has maintained its connection and has revived its friendships through yearly concourses. This class, whose memhers graduated in 1923, certainly deserves the Commendation ol the whole school in that it has had the insight and the spirit to perceive the true value of an alumni association. Now, while the school is about to move into its new home is the time to reorganize the connection which will give the school a certain maturitiy- and a greater meaning, and which will help it to remain always beloved in the hearts of the students as it is now. Since we, the class.of l932, are the first to graduate from Willis High School, it is our duty and privilege to form an Alumni Association which will perpetuate memories of the new building, even from its very heginning.
