Uhr Shania Seniors, who are about to leave: this High School has been yours to use, and We hope that you have used it to your best advantage. But more than that, we know that you have made the school just a bit better because you have been in it. Many have helped the school with their athletic ability, others have aided with their literary genius: hut you have all contributed, if you have attempted to advance the ideals of Ahna Mater. YVu.1.1,xM KILLEEN, President of Senior Class. :JSA Our school is analogous to a huge cog wheel, even to a machine, for each pupil does not play the minor part of a mere cog but rather a whole part of the fine mechanism, the organization of our school. Truly, without the fine harmony existing between teachers, executives, and pupils of our Alma Mater, our cherished traditions and noteworthy aspirations would amount to naught. Let,s hope for the indefinite extension of this treasured accord and the further augmentation of our brilliant records on the athletic field and on the stage of the world. I,0NALD E. NITCHDIAN, President of Student Association

ELMER O. HOFFMAN. 5 Q9 5 Youth sees the world made better by some great deed of which all men will talk. ltliddle age has learned that life grants such opportunities to few. It also knows that as some trifling word can spoil a day, so an insignificant act can, out of all proportion to its importance, bring happiness in its wake. Seek for that deed to do it. . CLARA E. HosKINs. .3143 There are infinite ways of making the world better and more beautiful. Perhaps we, as pupils and teachers, are so desirous of improving so many phases of life that few of us leave anything that is permanently better and more beautiful. In the years to come some of you will gratefully remember that pupil or teacher who created in you an appreciation of art, literature, music, and nature. You will be thankful for that contact with some one who helped you to discover your special aptitudes, skills, and capacities, and you will never forget those associates who helped to build up your ideals and de- velop your character out of your habits. In this process called education there is a great opportunity to make this world better and more beautiful by stimulating those with whom we come in contact, to read beyond the headlines, to think beyond the slogan, to compare scientifically, and to conclude carefully.

Uhr Shuriu Bvhiratinn To dedicate in words is simpleg To dedicate in deeds divine, This book contains both words and deeds, Therefore, ,tis simple, 'Tis divine. To dedicate with words is easy: To dedicate with deeds sublime, And many a book has been well-written, To die unknown, before its time. But memories are ne'er forgotten: Nay, nor vanquished from the mind. Though memories of your life go past unheeded, Memories of your schooldays, herein, always find. Old friends long since forgotten: Old things we used to do, Unclamp the props of progress And shadow all the new. VVe dedicate this book to forty years from nowv, VVhen acorns grow to great oak trees, And as our grandsires are to us, VVe to ourselves shall be. Then as we glance ,t these pages Old friends will come to mind, And some are rich, and some are poor, -And some we cannot findf Forty years from now, then. VVe,ll all look through this book. And he who feels no unshed tear Is a gambler, liar, crook. R. K. C. 7
