COPA DE ORO,1936 E. J. Erickson Boys, Vice-Principal To the Members of the Senior Class: During the three years of your Senior High School career, you have been learning how to learn. Some have found the task rather easy and have, in the estimation of classmates and teachers, made real progress. Others have found their learning apprenticeship uninterest- ing and have achieved accordingly. However, of this you can all be sure, that if you will work conscientiously in the effort to master the HArt of Learning? your learning tasks in college and on the job will unfold before you like the pages of a book. Enjoying a well- rounded and balanced life, with ample oppor- tunities for work and play, need not be the unique or the unusual if you organize and systematize all those tasks which go to make up a day in the busy life of the average young American of 1936. Best wisheSemay you lcontinue to learn how to learn as long as you we. Sincerely, E. J. ERICKSON. Jessie T. Oldt Dean of Girls To the Members of the Senior Class: Those who gain most from life face the future with enthusiasm and determination to succeed in the problems that confront them. Many of you have learned to do this. You have given the school happy, constructive leadership. You have helped to continue those customs which seemed to be of value and you have introduced new ideas which will some- what change the pattern of our school life. That you may meet your next experiences with this same courageous forward look, eager to face new situations, strengthened by the ex- perience of the pastebut not living in the pasteis my wish for the class of 1936. Sincerely, JESSIE T. OLDT. 10W

It is an accomplishment of which you and I may well be proud. Many of you will continue your education, some will enter business, industry and other vocations; but whatever you do, you will find occasional, even frequent, obstacles to your progress. May I urge upon you an optimistic attitude and an unfaltering determination to overcome every discouraging barrier to your advance. Thus you will develop strength and that Fme quality of dauntlessness so necessary to success in these trying times. Very sincerely, GEORGE C. BUSH. John E. Alman, Principal To the Members of the Senior Class: To some, the world seems topsy-turvy. Donlt let them fool you. Itls a good old world, not a great deal different than it was years ago. We are just learning to adjust ourselves to newrfound laws, to more individual thinking, and better living. Donat be slow to leave the old not slow to study the new and change when your best. reasoning tells you a change is good. In your three years of senior high school, we have endeavored to give you every experience we could to help you make your own decisions and your own adjustments. Never lay the blame on the other fellow if things go wrong, when you have refused to think things through for yourself. Every opportunity will be offered you in the world, and your success will depend on how you have prepared your- self and how you react to these opportunities. Your world will be pretty much what you yourself make it Sincerely, JOHN E. ALMAN.
