WHITE, BOB WYATT THE PICK AND SPADE THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1941, has taken this spade as a symbol of its untiring effort in meeting problems and digging its way out of them. Keeping this bright symbol ever before us, we will use it to build a secure foundation for our future life. As representative of the class of January, 1941, I present this spade, with confidence that it will spur you to dig deeply for the treasures which it will reveal. SHIRLEY LANGLEY. A GREAT HONOR has been bestowed upon me in giving me the opportunity to accept this spade, which has long been one of the symbols of Southwesternls courage and strength. It is to you, the seniors, I now look with admiration. I hope that our class may uphold the high and successful standards which you have established. Again I say that our class is proud of our association with you, the energetic and ambitious senior class of january, 1941. ROBERT ROCHESKA. FOR YEARS PAST, a student has been chosen to present this pick to you, the oncoming seniors. The class of January, 1941, has bestowed this privilege upon me for which I am greatly honored. As we go out into this world of turmoil we shall always look back upon our days with pleas- ant reminiscences, at this school where we found both friendship and knowledge. Accept this pick on behalf of this graduating class and above all uphold the high ideals which this instrument represents. IRA KORKIGIAN. BEING PRIVILEGED IN ACCEPTING this memorial pick, I do so with a heart filled with inspiration to carry on the fine work which your predecessors and you have accomplished. By bestowing upon us this traditional implement, which we recognized as a symbol of high standards, I, in behalf of my fellow students, the juniors, extend to you in return the heartiest wishes for success in this perpetually revolving world. CECELIA MITORAY.

THE PRESlDENT'S ADDRESS By LOUIS NAGY Faculty Members, Classmates, and Friends: Today, regardless of all the strife about us, we are living in a democratic country where all men are considered equal. There is no better example of a spirit of equality and friendliness than that shown here at Southwestern. Now we have to venture out from this security into a world about which we know only too little. The spirit in which we enter into things plays a very important part in the results. We can look to the future in either of two ways-We may consider it with doubt and fear, an attitude that will generally cause much grief and possible failure, on the other hand we may look expectantly to things to come, determined and unafraid. With feelings such as these we may rest assured that we are moving in the right direction toward happiness and success. It is very difficult to express the happiness I have experienced in serving as your class presi- dent. This position was easy to fill because of the whole-hearted co-operation of the class and the ready assistance of the faculty, particularly Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Dolan, our sponsors. And now, though I must say farewell, it is my earnest wish that somewhere, sometime, in the near future we may all meet again. CLASS HISTCRY By BETTY GREEN and TONY FoREs1 Four years ago, in January, 1937, we first walked through these doors and gazed, awed, at the countless rooms and the endless halls. How would we ever find our way about? Well, we did get lost at first, but soon we knew where we were going, or thought we did! Finally we lost the title freshiel', and became full-fledged sophomores, at which time we began really to enter the spirit of our school. We joined clubs and became interested in what our sports teams were doing. fContinued on page forty-twoj
