The Address of, the President By Gnmnn HEBERT No prize without a struggle is the ideal which we carry with us on leaving Southwestern. Our high school experience was designed to teach us this. If we have not impressed this deeply on our own minds, then our work has been lacking in an im- portant respect. We have realized that nothing worth while is given to us if we make no attempt to earn it. Because of the diffi- culties with which we have had to con- tend, the gain as represented by our diploma is more pre- cious and we shall cherish it through many years. This truth has been proved to us many times by our schoolmates. All honors in scholar- ship, athletics, and leadership have been the result of perseverance. Southwestern com- peted for the Dart- mouth Trophy for four years. This tro- . phy, given as a re- I ward for the high- est rating among the city high schools for scholarship, sportsmanship, and athletic ability, has been the object of enthusiastic competition throughout the city. Last year we missed the trophy by but o11e point. This year we started out with a new determination to win. From a competing Held of thirteen high schools of Detroit, Southwestern brought home the Dart- mouth Trophy. Nothing but a supreme struggle enabled the twenty-two football men to win this tro- phy. Of the twenty-two 1ne11, eleven are members of our graduating class. From the standpoint of schol- arship we have also used perseverance. This year, by reason of the tive consecutive victories of her debating team, Southwestern won one of the bronze plaques give11 for superior performance in the Michi- gan Debating League. Pleasure is mixed with struggle, however, and for tl1e past four years we have found our work to be a matter of great interest rather than a burden. It is with the deepest regret that we leave the school which we have come to consider our second home. But we must disregard all consideration for our- selves and make way for the coming class who have merited, by their struggles, the prize which is ours today. Above all I wish to thank you, our parents, in behalf of all students present tonight, for your many sacrifices, savings, and self-deprivations which have CContinued on page 23, column IJ Officers of the Class-- The Valedictory By HICLEN E. FARKAS Dear lflassmafcs, Teaclzcrs, Parcvits and Friends: Tonight, as we gather here in this auditorium for the last time before graduation, something akin to awe envelops us. We thrill to the significance of this culmination of four years of endeavor, pros- pecting in the mines of knowledge with our picks and shovels. As the 0 great day of grad- . uation passes, we see ourselves going out into a strange a n d u n k n 0 W n world, strongly de- termined to do our best. Who knows but that on some future day, when we gather together again, we shall have among us another Professor Einstein, Babe Ruth, Floyd Gibbons, Charles Lindbergh, or per- haps a mayor or a governor? Jeremy Taylor o11ce said, You cannot dream your- self into a charac- ter. You must ham- mer and forge your- self into one. With this upper- most in our minds, everyone of us should realize that although we are graduating from high school, our education has just begun. We must continue to educate ourselves, to plan our future lifeis work, to develop our character, and to make a place for ourselves in this world of today. Now is the time to plan our career. We must not be discouraged when obstacles present them- selves and loom discouragingly before us, Time will show us that they were mere trifies, trying to tempt us from our path to success in much the same way that a mirage in the desert presents an alluring, tempting way to the weary, thirsting traveler. How often have we heard a student remark upon leaving high school, I planned to study en- gineering -or art, or music, as the case may be- but I know I can't go to college, so what's the use? How unfortunate that he should take that careless attitude, for we know that self-education and desire for advancement are far greater than a half hearted college education. Let us make up our minds that we will get a higher education, that we will be what we have decided to beg that we will succeed. What better example could I give than the life of our own president, Herbert Hoover? How often have we heard the stories of his determination to educate himself 5 to make himself a better man des- pite the fact that circumstances had denied him an fC0ntinuerl on page 23, column 22 Page Fifteen

I haven't had a good laugh since that aeon when you went on a jaunt through space in your rocket car and ran out of fuel two light-years from home.

Vincent Kadi, the mayor, is form. The Delray police- force, consisting of Helen Vargo, Elizabeth Kish, Su- zanne Koren, Alice Machus, and Anna Csonka, is pa- trolling the front of the edifice. Over at Hopkins Field lformerly Navin. Fieldj the Bengals are having a streak of bad luck, probably due to the fact that they are managed by Bagozzi and Massey. Bill Degner, the little mascot, and Barnabo, the bat-boy, are cheering l for their team. Four new Q rookies from the Zorvan i College of Crocheting are i trying out today for the po- sition of pitcher. They are found out by ether-wave news that Southwestern High School of Detroit, Michigan, U. S. A., Western Hemisphere, is hold graduating exercises now. Let's look in on them. Mr. B.: I don't know about that, but I'll try. Mmm-no-yes-no, I can't do it. There is a slight distortion of space. I'm afraid it will take twenty Earth years to focus the telocular. Mrs. B.: Pshawl Well, look, anyway. Twenty years isn't much. Mr. B.: O. K. Let's see. Ah, here we are. North America, United States, Michigan, and De- troit. I see a crowded courtroom. James Matyi, noted criminal lawyer, is defending Joe Milkovie on the charge of safe-cracking. The prosecutor, Ray Chene, and the sleepy judge, Macunovich, are argu- ing with two witnesses, Emma Gaty and Margaret Staudinger. The g1'and jury is composed of twelve heartless, conscienceless women, Julia Blom, Irene Colley, Violet Klein, Mildred Holtz, Helen Nagy, Frances Zager, Thelma Andreas, Theresa Frolich, Agnes Nauseda, Dorothy Urshel, Josephine Svitko- vich, and Leila See. Outside, as I glance up the street, I see a large, blue limousine passing. In it I see Gangster Staf- ford with his chauffeur, Kokoszka, and the three burly bodyguards, Leonard Magilvy, Steve Lukas, and Louis Kiss. As the car turns a corner, there is a familiar whistling noise, and I perceive peanut vendors, Barolo and Boudoian, doing a rushing bus- mess. Page Sixteen Rose Wolfe. On the side-lines the coaches, Leidicli and Scafuri, are standing on their heads in frenzy. On Gratiot Avenue a sign over a hock shop reads Wolf and Fox, shysters. Two blocks down, I see the fish store of Kuzma and F. Riopelle. Across the street Lang's dime show, with Helen Szabo as cash- ier and Stay and Petho as ushers, is open for bus- iness. A poster outside the entran.ce heralds the antics of Brule, Beneventi, and Patera, slapstick comedians. Orchestra Hall is celebrating the return of the famous woman impresario, Margaret Schupiter. The orchestra is composed of Irene Martin, Mary Vas, James Woods, John Wanick, Neil Dodson, Bramwell Anderson, Vera Chase, Marion Howard, and Grace Sam. The soloists are Marjorie Zambeck on the Tuba Four, Sylvia Hostik on the Saxitar, and Catherine Irwin on the Cornaphone. Ann Tuder and Anna Zline are the soprano soloists. In Chicago I see the new Reck Roundhouse dc- signed by John Pavlick. The gigantic Carlson Pretzel factory, employing Rohanci, Recore, Uhrick, and Wunderlich as chief pretzel benders, is working ove1'time. The big building ac1'oss the park is For- rest College. Eleanor Damrow and Marjorie Benn are professors of astronomy. In the laboratories, Kieler and Komaro are perfecting an instrument to send messages to Melicent Nagle, who is spending her summer vacation on Mars. That place is Podunk, where the trains stop only when they are out of steam. The mayor, Charles Kortman, is holding a pep meeting. The
