It is the turning point in your life. You are to be turned out into the world on your own hook. From now on it is up to you, and you alone, to shift for yourself. To a choice few, graduating from high school means just one more step on their way. They still have a future graduation to look forward to before they start out on their career. But this is a small minority. For the most of you this means the end of your school years. As you look back on the past four years, do you honestly feel that you have accomplished all that you might have, or have you just been putting in your time ? As you stand before this day — the last time you are a member of this class — do you think back with regret? I sincerely wish that you all might stand on the top rung and view the past four years with a feeling of victory. Try to invoke in yourself a feeling of ambition on this day. Keep on the good work, weed out the bad, and with a great deal of persistence keep plugging on to your goal. As Emerson unforgettably expressed it, Hitch your wagon to a star, but be sure it is the right star! NO TRACK! WHY NOT? Track teams are made or broken by the in- terest or lack of interest shown by the track- men. This year although track practice started off on the wrong foot it ended with a bang and many cheers. There was some wonderful mate- rial on the track and field this year and I think they would have made points in regular meets with other schools. There were a few outstanding athletes on each team but the teams as a whole working together accom- plished more. The Senior team excelled in field events and also on the track so they gained the championship. The Freshmen were second and the Juniors and Sophomores followed respec- tively. The outstanding marks were in the dis- cus and the broad jump. Discus was thrown 9 feet, 6 inches, and the shot-put 43 feet. The farthest broad jump was 19 feet. The Senior relay team won in both meets. It was com- posed of McGarry, Ryder, Boutilier and La France. There has been some very good track teams in this school. One team was undefeated and another won the greater part of its meets. The boys who participated showed wonder- ful ability and talents on the track and field. In order to develop the talents in track we must have a team and some meets. Here ' s hoping next year will bring Stoughton High into the limelight for its track team. A TRIBUTE TO THE SENIORS By a Junior Voice : Now gather ' round you classmen all. Step in close and hear this call. For this is a story you ' ll never forget — This is a tale you ' ll never regret. Senior voice : Upon entering this school in ' 29 Our hopes of how we wanted to climb Were high. We ' ve made our mark on the walls In studies, sports, and honor calls. The school has heard our mighty cry Through thick and thin and years gone by. Our conquering horde of athletic names Will surely enter our Hall of Fame. Our scholarship marks no one can beat, Ignorance will always take a back seat When we the valiant Senior Class, Don caps of knowledge and file past. Voice : So a final tribute we ' ll pay to this class — A tribute that is fitting and will always last. For ne ' er more shall we see them together again. Salute them! These true Seniors — women and men!
