Southwestern By JERRY M. GHUITCH How careless we came to your beautiful home, How thoughtlessly entered your life, So inconstant, and fond of the follies of youth, lVith triiiing and vanities rife. Though our thoughts were capricious, we were wel- comed by you, To your halls of perennial peace, The spell of tradition was over these walls, And your strength bade lickleness cease. Still careless, we've studied in your beautiful homeg The cycle has turned since we came. The years cannot alter your vigor and truth, But our hearts are no longer the same. And then, at the end, what your influence has wrought, ' W'hat power your teaching has given, In maturity, Southwestern, your aim is achieved, In our hearts your purpose is driven. Presentation of the Pick By EARL FRIESIC VVhen we stop to consider what we have accom- plished and what there is 'yet to achieve, we realize that we have only begun our task. This pick sym- bolizes the diligence by which we have reached this first stage of our career. Vile have regarded this pick as a prize much sought afterg and when possessed, it should be zealously guarded. It has been the custom of the preceding classes to leave some token of friendship to their successors to inspire them on to victory and graduation. Vile, the Seniors, pass this token of our friendship on to you, the Juniors, with more fame and victorious records added to its increasing glory. VVe hope you will take up this pick, our symbol, and carry it to greater heights than have ever been attained before, for the glory of our dear old Southwestern. NVe extend to you our heartiest wishes for success in the years to come. Acceptance of Pick lly HLA LAFGHLIN Representing the junior class, I accept for them this symbol of the conscientious efforts of the Seniors. I am ready, as an eye witness, to testify for them. that the Class of 1929 is deserving of much praise for the way in which they have upheld the honor and the standards of Southwestern. It is my earnest belief that every member of the Junior class will regard this pick as a means of dig- ging deep into the vast lield of knowledge. XVe will try to accomplish as much as you Seniors have. As you leave this court. where you have always found justice, ready helpers, and companionship, we extend our heartiest congratulations for your past successes and best wishes for your future ones. Page Eighteen Presentation of Spade By CLARA KNITLI VVe are about to leave you nowg but before we go, we want to leave with you this spade, which we value very highly, since it is the implement which we have used to dig our way to our linal goal-graduation. XVe have dug deep and have been successfulg but we hope that with the aid of this cherished spade the junior class will be able to dig deeper and End un- known riches which still remain untouched. The Senior class of June, 1929, hope that you will continue using this spade in'as worthy manner as we have, so that when you have Finished your 'high school career, you, too, will be able to pass it on to the next junior class umnarred and beyond criticism. Acceptance of the Spade By VVILLIABI VOELLINIIG For three and one-half years we have been digging earnestly and have uncovered many treasures. VVe finally reached the point, where with our present tools we were unable to proceed further. VVe were aware of the fact that, in this instance, the mostpre- cious metals lay at the greatest depths. The gloomy atmosphere in our section of the Prospector camp was instantly dispelled when word was received that we were to be given this excellent tool. Our class was suddenly transposed from one of sadness to one of great rejoicing for we realized that with this spade we might uncover the priceless treasures that re- mained. The quality of this implement cannot be questioned. For many years it has received the rough, harsh treat- ment that is typical in the use of such a tool, and still it has retained its edge. So as representative of the 12B class, I hereby for- mally accept this spade, promising that we will do our best to put it to the same good use it has been subject to when in the possession of yours and pre- vious classes. VA LEDICTORY tContinued from page 51 all going to work hard, so that we can bring fame to Southwestern. We will make our friends, parents, and teachers proud of us, because that is about the only way we can repay them for the many sacrifices they made for us. And because we are so ambitious and industrious, I know it won't be long before we hear of a great deed or good work which some one of you has done. They will be able to point to you with pride and say, I-Ie is from that wonderful class of June, 1929 -a class which I know none of us will ever be able to forget. As I say farewell to our faculty and teachers, I know I express the feelings of every classmate when I say that each one of us is going to strive to bring more honor and fame than has ever before been brought to the name of Southwestern High School.
