H.- 1935 LIFE IS LIKE A PICTURE Life weuld be a beautiful picture, if we would only strive to paint it well. There are people who lament, “Oh why was I born, life is such a drudge?” Certainly it is if we keep on thinking so, never trying to see the sunny side. If all the people had this in mind, think how terrible life would be. The ones who try to make life worth while socn find the world a very happy place in which to live. Young people should go to high school with two ideals in mind: (a) to develop the individual to his greatest capacity; (b) to learn the respensibility of an individual to society. The four years which you may spend in high school have a money value and a cultural value. To paint life’s picture well you must na- turally be more concerned with the cultural value. Familiarize yourself with Nature, make Art your most intimate friend. Learn to appreciate the works of others and to criticize your cwn. Make hosts of friends among those of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life. Learn to lose yourself in generous enthusiasm and co-op- eration with others for commen ends, to learn manners from students who exemplify the highest ideals. Train yourself to fill each day with countless deeds of. kindness, and love toward God and your neighbor. Your four years in high schocl, the best four years of your life, offer you golden op- portunities for thus painting your picture well. If you grasp these opportunities and make the most of them, then indeed will yeur life’s picture be a work of Art, one which will be admired for many years after you have gone to your eternal reward.—’36. O A True Gentleman A true gentleman is a man whose ccn- duct proceeds from good will and whose self- control is equal to all emergencies. A gentleman is well mannered. He dces not make:the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity or any man of his inferiority or deformity. He is humbled himself if he is compelled to humble another. He does nct flatter the wealthy or boast of his own possessions and achievements. He speaks frankly, but al- ways with sincerity and sympathy. He is a man whose deed follows his word. He thinks of the rights and feelings of others rather than of his own. He appears well in any company. A gentleman is a man with whom hceror is sacred.—’36. Studies Oh! Freshmen, we give thee warning, Of the studies befronting you; But it will be O. K. we are sure, If you study them through and through. You may think that Latin is easy, But wait till you have to take second vear, You’ll change ycur mind in a hurry, And say that it is the hardest subject here. If you like Algebra I hepe you can say That you will like Geometry In the very same way. I know you will like History For although you may think, That it isn’t very interesting, Still it will teach you to think. . —’37. 0) THE GREEN EYE In our daily lives we are constantly en- countering those people who are afflicted with this horrible disease, “the green eye.” Cain had it, so did Saul. It is the most con- temptible of all mental and moral diseases. If sarcasm and sneers could kill, plenty of men would provide work fcr the undertakers. Don’t belittle your neighbor because he is more successful than you. Keep out of the class of little people who pelt mud at their more fortunate neighbor. People will re- spect you, and you must respect ycurself if you forbid jealousy to betray manhood. Jealousy is cruel. They say that when a bee stings, it forfeits its life. Jealousy is truly suicide slowly committed. Those afflicted with this horrible disease, “the green eye” are dangerous models. Do not cepy them in your life. The world idolizes success and usually is not particular as to how it is obtained. If you want to know whether a man is worthy of emulation, draw a little closer to the pedestal. Be careful ef your ideals. Befcre you make your cast, get a MAN for your subject or you may perpetuate the feature of an object, a thing or even a devil.—’35. o— The most encouraging thing about our troubles is that most of them never happen. ) The darkest hours in any man’s life is when he sits down to plan how to make money witheut earning it. —0o Loss of temper is loss of sense.

DEEPNEO RAE SiS. Ju. 91935 Class History Freshman Days The fall of 1931 is memorable to our class, mainly because of the timid manner in which we entered the Freshman classroom for the first time. As we gazed upon the Seniors, we won- dered if we could ever reach the goal which they had attained. It was during this semester that the “Booster Club” was organized. It proved to be very interesting as well as educaticnal to its members. Sophomore Days After a short vacation we were all eager to begin our Sophomore year. We entered this semester with the thought that we would have only one more year in school but to our great surprise it was.announced that a fcur- year course would be given. Much +o be remembered was achieved during this year and our retrospect of our Sophomore year affords us nothing but pleasure. Junior Days We entered our Junior year with good spirit and with a determination to acccm- plish everything we undertook. By this time we were veterans and considered curselves quite important, but soon discovered our illusion to be false. Still we most seriously prepared ourselves for our last “Moving Up Davie Our studies were rather difficult at first, althcugh we soon became acquainted with them. Aside from our studies we indulged in various entertainments. Our most interest- ing day was when with the aid of the other high school members we gave a banquet for the Seniors. We again felt that we were grown up. a Senior Days At first we were quite timid about pro- claiming our superiority. However, as time went on, we took heart and have berne the responsibility of being the pillars of the school, those to whom others might look for good example. How well this has been done, we weuld rather have some one else decide. But we have tried. This has been our brightest year in schocl. We have taken great interest in our studies, especially Chemistry, which has been in ro- duced into the high school for the first time this year. Now the time for our departure has come and much to our surprise we are finding our- selves wishing that we might remain longer in school, although a few years ago, we were anxious for the last day to come. Om The Choice of a Vocation There are many young men and young women traversing the high school period with no special purpose. Large numbers are crowding easy courses or attending school because their pals de. They are utterly wasting time. Time is too valuable to be wasted! The choice should be made during the Freshman year. After a final decision is made all one’s training should aim to pre- pare him for that particular state of life. No time should be spent uselessly. The final aim should not be the gaining of a mere living or a subsistence on the necessities of life but a means to the end of securing the things that seem most enjoyable and happy. —’36. 0) A pleasant smile and a gracious manner are always an invaluable asset towards vro- motion and success in life. 0 The ambition to do well is far better than the ambition te be well to do.

It is significant that the completion of their school or college work should be called commencement. But commencements do not stop when our formal educaticn is completed. They recur continu- ally. The conclusion of anything in life is the beginning of something else. Endings and beginnings in life are continuous. We cannot avoid them, but how we meet them is all important. We can be happy or sad. If we look backwards we may be satisfied, if we look into the future we may be dis- contented. Wise people are centent to let Page 13 oe 2 2 © © oo © © 2 - 0-0 0-62-2090 2963s
