Butler C, The World of Tomorrow: A Challenge On June I4 approximately one hundred fifty of us will receive otir diplomas. a recognition of four years in high school, To some of us this achievement is a stepping stone towards a goal, to others it represents four years of pleasant association and good times: to still others it stands for a period of wasted time. All of us, however, are looking forward to the same thing, the world of tomorrow. What will it be? A small percentage of the class has worked in these four years toward further education. These few contem- plate more advanced study in colleges, training schools, and universities: and so their problem of tomorrow's world may be postponed for awhile. A number of us cannot pursue education beyond high school, yet we have a genuine determination to get ahead and to succeed in life. This group, in future years, will derive as much as possible from their work: they will give service. It is they who will be leaders in their community, who will bend every effort toward making a better society, socially and economically. Many of us will leave school with one idea, to get a job, any kind of a job. A majority will find that job, and in it they will remain. In these four years of school- ing they worked without regard for the future: thus they will work tomorrow. Lacking the necessary motivation to spur them on to do better things, they will still be in the Page one same spot thirty years from now, married. comfortable perhaps. but with little to look back upon and still less to look forward to. There are those of us, too many of us, who will carry into the world of tomorrow the same disregard for author- ity that we have shown during these four years. Unless we change, we will become society's outcasts, lawbreakers, undesirable citizens, petty criminals, even major offenders. That some of us will spend our world of tomorrow in confinement in prisons or disciplinary institutions is de- plorable. This, then, is the class of 1939. citizens of a world that teems with opportunity, a world that offers its wealth to any ambitious and resourceful individual. At no time in history have chances for advancement been so numerous, so challenging. That world out there demands men with ideas: it asks for intelligence, originality, leadership, charac- ter. That universe into which we step is one in which competition is keen, where intellect is needed to solve the ever-increasing complexities life offers, where justice is swift. where success does not depend on chances or luck. Equipped with whatever qualifications we have made for ourselves in these years just past, we pause, knowing that the world of tomorrow, like that of yesterday and today, will be exactly what we make it. we

Gladys Allen Trophy Because she exemplified throughout her high school career skill and sportsmanship in athletics, Gladys Tebo was awarded the Gladys Allen Memorial Trophy at the Honors assembly May 26. For three years Gladys has participated in all types of sports. She was a member of her class basketball team as a sophomore and junior, and she captained the senior squad. ln swimming she was equally prominent, having won first place in diving in this year's meet. For three years she has played volley- ball and baseball, and was in charge, not only of volleyball but also of tennis for the Sports Coun- cil this year. An all-around athlete, Gladys has well lived up to the require- ments of this trophy, given in memory of Gladys Allen, who would have graduated with the class of 1936 and who played the game, not for the honor to be gained but for the love of it. This is the third year that the award has been made. lt was won by Helmi Mannesto last year and by Mary VanBuskirk in 1937. Gertrude Hills Trophy Having displayed a spirit of genuine friendliness, a fine attitude of cooperation, an unfailing sense of responsibility, and a capacity for loyal service, Kathleen McCormick of the class of 1939 has been awarded the Gertrude Hills Mem- orial Trophy, which is given annually to the senior girl who, during her high school career. has best exemplified the ideals of true iyoung womanhood for which Miss Ger- trude Hills stood. Ranking in the upper one-third of her class, Kathleen has achieved a scholastic record which, combined with other necessary qualities, has earned her election to the National Hon- ' or Society. Kathleen's interest in varied school activities became apparent when she was in the seventh grade. At that time she joined the library staff. where she has served for the past six years. Another early interest was speech, an activity in which she has achieved particular recogni- tion. Participating in declama- tion and in extempore speaking. she has won first place three times in local and twice in sub- district competition, and once in the final district contest. She has been an outstanding debater for two years and has served one year as secretary and one year as president of the local chapter of the National Forensic League. ln addition, she has coached class debate teams and has con- Page three tributed much to the development of Speech Club through her work on the social and program committees. Kathleen has been an efficient member of the Student Council and of the Keynote staff and has ably assisted the dean of girls, especially through her leadership during the annual Girls' Conference. ln her junior year, she was elected to Colonnade, girls' service club, an organization which made definite progress during Kathleen's presidency of the group. During the past year Kathleen's classmates have paid tribute to her fine attributes of character by selecting her as the senior girl worthy of receiving the Good Citizenship Medal presented by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Cup of1923 Excelling in scholarship, character, leadership, and ser- vice to his school, LeRoy Kolin of the class of 1939 is this year's winner of the Cup of 1923. The award was made at the annual Honors assembly May 26. LeRoy's scholastic achievement is evidenced by the fact that he ranks fourth in his class and by his recent election to the National Honor Society. Genuine interest and ability in music have prompted LeRoy to do outstanding work in that department. ln ad- dition to excelling in regular band and orchestra classes, he has serv- ed as librarian of the bland and as librarian and assistant director of the orchestra. He has also been an active participant in the dance and German band groups. His musical accomplishment won re- cognition this spring when he be- came recipient of the Harriet Pear- son trophy, which is awarded for excellence in violin. To home room, club, and class projects, LeRoy has given marked service. He has been vice president and program committee chairman of his home room and has served as treasurer and as vice president of his class. His efforts to help lead his class successfully have been untiring. As chairman of sev- eral important committees, he has worked efficiently and has contributed materially to the success of such major ac- tivities as class parties and the junior prom. Since LeRoy plans to enter the school of engineering of the University of Michigan, he has been an especially ac- tive member of Mathematics Club and Science Club. His interest in forensics has been demonstrated by a year's work in Speech Club and by two years of activity on class and reserve debate teams. Standing consistently for the highest ideals of young manhood, LeRoy has contributed definitely to Hi-Y, where he has headed the program committee for two years. As a fitting culmination of his activity in the field of journalism, LeRoy has climaxed his work on the Keynote staff by serving as co-editor of this senior edition.
