Otc SettiuT (Class The Senior class of ’J2 has not had four years of smooth sailing on a smiling sea. There have been dissensions, and often we have found ourselves in the slough of despair. Yet when I think it over, I believe that, after all, we may be glad even of the storms we have met. We have come through everything with fair success, and certainly we are better for our experiences. There were practically no Freshman or Sophomore activities along social lines during those two years, but it was there that we were lay- ing a basis for future scholastic and athletic honors. The outstanding event of our Junior year was, of course, the Prom which we continue to be proud of to this day. Our Senior year has been the year of testing our caliber, it might be said. It is in this year, perhaps, that we have experienced our deepest feelings, both of despondency and ecstasy. Our money-making propositions seem to be enlightening and quite plausible now that they form part of the past. 1 hope we shall all benefit by our mistakes when future occasions arise as far as money-making is concerned. I suppose each Senior class is the same in this respect, because it always seems to underclassmen that the difficulties are not there until they are actually in them. The two crowning events of the four years in high school are the Washington trip and graduation. The one far surpasses all expecta- tions in rich experiences of beauty and splendor. The other is yet to come. I don’t yet know whether we shall greet it with laughter or tears, but at any rate we have had four years of high school fun which no one can take from us. ESTHER CARLSON, ’32 Continued from page 8 ARE WE AWAKE desire to gain more knowledge. Or it may he that his hero is a well educated scholar, and therefore he will apply himself to study because he wants to be like his hero. A book, a story, an ambition may also serve to stir up the drowsy faculties of the student. Suppose, for instance, that the boy wants to become an electrical engineer. He must have a high school education in order to fit himself for the institution of higher learning. So we see that while physical and mental sleep have their advan- tages, they furnish rest for the mind and body, mental and physical alertness are much more important. Physical alertness furnishes an opportunity for seeing the world; mental alertness makes it possible for the student to advance to higher learning. Nine SYLVIA BARKER, ’32
