 WHAT MY SCHOOL MEATUS TO ME Seniors! Graduates! What emotions those words arouse within us! Six years, one hundred eighty days each year, seven hours each day, a total ot seven thousand five hundred sixty hours we have spent within this building. In reminiscent mood let us start our journey with the Junior I ligh. When we first entered the Junior High we caught a glimpse of real lile. I he first week—what a bewildering group of new subjects! We had new teachers too, anil new friends, anil the new building to explore. We were very gay, noisy and irresponsible. Soon we were Freshmen, the object of all the jokes and jibes of the upper classmen. Then we were the1 hardworking Sophomores, with no plays anil lew other activities to interfere. Some ot us dropped out of school but the majority caught the S. H. S. spirit and continued. Next came our Junior year. That was a gram! old year! We had our first real class organization. Our loyalty received a stimulus. We had our banquet. We were the important Juniors. At last came our Senior year, that long awaited year, the best of all! In looking hack these six years seem to melt into one—a year we wouldn’t miss if the whole world were offered in return. We have gained much through participation in plays and clubs. Recreation is easily found in our school sports, athletics, and other activities. Our assemblies, of different nature each time, are brought to us with the thought of restfulness and enjoyment. At the same time there’s a lesson tucked somewhere within. We have made friends and have had experiences that will prove invaluable. In later years we ll remember singing “The Star Spangled Banner”, and when someone mentions football or basketball we’ll remember our team, how they played and how we cheered. We’ll remember our classmates and our teachers too. Perhaps in the years to come, we’ll come back to our school, the school whose memories will be most dear to us. We’ll listen again to our 1 Iymn and our Creed, both written by our students especially for us. Our school has guided and inspired us. We shall be loyal to it forever.

In times of depression we turn our backs on the superficial and face the fundamentals of life. 1 lome becomes dearer. Neighbors and friends mean more to us. The service of the school becomes more vital. If schools are a blessing in good times thev are an imperative necessity in bad times. They not only safeguard the mental and physical health of the child but they fortify the home. They are ourselves working together in our children. When times are hard we need to make education better, to take more seriously our common task of preparing the young for life. During periods of depression our schools must be safeguarded. Next to food, clothing and shelter, they stand between us and chaos. Let us preserve and improve our schools. Let us keep the children first. E. 11.
