Y Qgwl, GUARD ive TACKLE ,magi L-...Q Foreword Before us stretches the winding road of life. What kind of a journey shall we make? This is for each of us to decide for ourselves. Our life is what we make it,' is an old maxim, but it is none the less true. One who wants something splendid and beautiful out of life must put something into it, must make it shining and worthwhile, an emblem, a pathway to follow. Everyone must have a goal in life. Without an object to live up to and attain, living is without purpose. Be ambitious, but not so zealous as to disregard the rights of others. Achieve things in life. Dedication To all book-lovers this annual of 1932 is dedicated to the lofty thoughts and high ideals which are formed by exploring the hidden regions of the vast store of books. Hidden treasures lie within the drably covered as well as the brightly dressed books. They represent the development of civilization since the beginning of manas upward striving. Books are our greatest friends, let us treat them as such. Theme The library, one of theigreatest contributions of modern civilization to humanity, has been selected as the theme for this year's annual. These institutions offer opportunities to the rich and poor alike, who meet and mingle freely within their lofty halls. Inspiration is gained from the libraries, peaceful and attractive interiors. The priceless books revealed on the orderly shelves lure one to lavishly and greedily delve into them all. Libraries are storehouses of the knowledge of the world which increase down through the ages. Various artistic representations of prominent libraries, the work of art students in the school, are illustrated in this book. 665

Qhfwl, GUARD day TACKLE - 4163163 Laughter, Truth, and Love First Prize Poem Merlanne Gardner, 10A Life, the great Instructor, Was worried and upset, The lessons, although easy, His pupils could not get. So, tired and bewildered, I-Ie hired workers three, To help him preach to others Of God,s Eternity. Life summoned these three helpers To learn from whence they came, The first one was a youthful lad And Laughter was his name. The second was a maiden Of dignity and grace, Her name was Truth, and you could see It shining in her face. The third one was a little child With beauty from above, And he told the great Instructor That most people called him Love. Laughter I am found where there is gladness, And Fm found where there is mirth, I'm a wanderer in spirit And have roamed o'er all the earth. I've been guest to many people, And I'm never turned away, I'm as welcome as the sunshine On a stormy, cloudy day. I am in a mother,s voice And a happy, childish cry, In the ripples of a brooklet g As it lazily drifts by. I am in a robin's chirping As he sings up in the trees, I'm the lulling, crooning rhythm In the flutter of a breeze. I am in the smiles of maidens As they gather flowers fair, And I'm known by poor and wealthy As a banisher of care. I am in the time of music, In the rush of childish feet, I'm at home in massive castles, Or a dirty, musty street. I am in the twilight shadows When the moon begins to rise, And I'm always in the twinkle Of a maiden's sparkling eyes. I have come from out of Nowhere, And I'm headed for the same, I'm a happy cheerful fellow, And Laughter is my name. Truth I,m the spirit of a nation And the mascot of a man, I,m the friend of all the virtuous And an enemy of sham. I am loved by many people, I am found in peace and rest, And the man that bears my banner Is a winner of success. There are some that have withstood me But their powers are not strong, And although they may resist me, It is not for very long. You will notice that a criminal, When his final prayers are said, Takes me with him on his journey To the realms of the dead. i53GE
