ALMA MATE R Forward, to advance, says Mr. Webster, and we do not dispute his word, but knowing full well the meaning of the word we hereby very boldly, write our Forward--------Backward. Yes, Backward. Four long, very short years are ended, over, done, but here at the crossroads where we now stand let us borrow just a moment to say a simple and very sincere, ' Thanks, Teachers. You have been our sign posts, our compass when we were lost, and our guide along the trails, and more priceless than the text you taught, our triends. We shall forget many of your lessons and your most cherished formulas, but we will never forget you, our friends. Dyer, Indiana, a dot on the map - - St. John Township School our Alma Mater; we salute you and say, Hail, and Farewell. Page 2

THE ECHO High upon these Indian mounds We stand awaiting the echoing sounds. Each sound a memory, reflecting from afar The triumphs attending our grasp for a star. How strange! This faint echo upon the hill Brings back to us all the good and the ill; These flash before us in a minute or two The joys and troubles we've just gone through. Along this rocky winding trail We were determined not to fail. And having reached the end at last We pause to look back at events in the past. The Echo, to you, is a mere published book, But, to us, it's a cherished, belov'd, backward look.
