19 24 THE C LA R I O X 19 24 SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS In the closing hours of our High School career we. as a class, feel deeply the appreciation that our fellow students have shown in what we have attempted to accomplish in our work here. The class of ’24 is grateful for the many little kindnesses the High School students have shown and we are more than pleased with the spirit manifested in doing the m and in helping us to attain our High School success — graduation. As a whole I feel that our class has shown remarkable spirit in their work, I wish to thank them for the fine support they have given me in putting over the top our many projects. The cooperation of the class in raising funds for the publishing of our year book has been especially in- spiring. We wish also to extend our hearty appreciation to the faculty for the untiring efforts put forth for our success. We are confident that without “our type” of teacher our four years in high school could not have been as beneficial to us both intellectually and socially. Therefore as a class we want every one that has shown interest in our work to know that though we take different roads they will ever be in our minds and we shall never forget what they have meant to us. From the time we entered the high school until now, the time for us to leave it. we have noticed two changes, one a material or physical change and the other a mental and moral change. First the change of our sur- roundings and buildings. We started our education in the old red brick high school and are now finishing it in one of the best school buildings in the country. This physical change has not come about by itself. Some one is responsible for it and I think all the credit and glory should go to our Superintendent, Professor Misenar. It was he who started the discussion of a new school building back in 1919 and 1920. Then later, however just before it was put to a public vote, Mr. Misenar put on one of the biggest advertising campaigns ever experienced in St. Clair, and did it pay? Now we are not disturbed in school while studying by some of the old beams or rafters squeaking and cracking. Did Mr. Misenar have to do this? W as it part of his work ? W hy certainly not. He did it solely because of his interest in the school project in St. Clair. I feel that we have one of the biggest men in the state for our Superintendent and I think no one can give him too much credit for this piece of work. W’e need also to mention of our class advisors Mrs. Maw, Miss Howe and Mr. Beecher and thank them for the deep interest they have shown in our class. Mrs. Maw has been one of our advisors ever since we were eighth graders, and has worked faithfully with us through the five years that followed. W T e want her to know that the class as a whole appreciate this int erest. Now we come to the second change — the mental change. When we were eighth graders and freshmen the morals of the school were so low that it was a very common occurrence for students to take an examination with open books beside them. And this was not the worst of it. This type of test became so common that students not only did it but did it with the idea that it was Page Tzventy-one
