RADITIONALLY, it is only the senior class who says Farewell to the old school in June. It is the accepted rule that they will close its doors behind them at that time and take with them a store of fond memories of the place where they have spent so many of the years of their lives among friends who will ever remain dear. This year this tradition will be broken at Southwestern, and all junior and senior high school students, as well as their teachers, will be leaving the halls of their familiar schools. When schools open in September, the seniors will, as usual, be scat- tered to the four winds, but the other classes will be entering the new central school for which we have waited so long. l However great the anticipation with which we look forward to the future, there is always a note of sadness and uncertainty accompany- ing the leaving of the known and the venturing into the unknown. Perhaps we seniors may find comfort in the thought that we are not the only ones who are pulling up long established roots and transfenring to new fields. For our teachers, some of whom have been here over twenty years, it will be a time of parting from friends and well-known scenes. Many new adjustments will need to be made by both students land teachers. The lower classmen, of course, are eagerly looking forward to enter- ing the new school, but even they will never forget the days they spent in the old schools in this, their farewell year.
