LEON BURKETT He murmurs near the run- ning brooks, A music sweeter than their 0U ' 7i. Leon is the class poet (rather roguish but por sessing a good =:ense of rhvthni) whose sonnets, hrics and ballads are all for his Cukie. He is an expert pho- tographer, as proved by the pic- tures he took of the cast of the Senior Play. Activities— Al took the role of Hal in the Senior Play. JOSEPHINE DELUCA A good name is better then riches. Josie has the most sincere and vet comically different laugh from all other seniors. She is an experienced dish washer but prefers typing.

Bob has an affliction— long will he be remembered for his habit of incessantly tapping his fingers to the time of his own (verv nice) voice. Quite an Adonis is Bob. what with his flaming red hair and i triking green eves. His latest hobby is the studv of photography. And I am sure he will be re- membered for the u 111 que shots he has taken of many of us. MARY FULLERTON 7 never, with important air, in conversation over- bear.

After High School - Wlmt? Each year the Stoughton High School turns out a fresh crop of graduates, young and eager men and women looking forward to . . . what? Now, as one man amply put it — that is the question. If you are one of the ver) few favored ones who have the means and ability to go to college, all well and good. You have four more years in which to prepare your- self for service, and may they be four pleasant years as well as profitable ones. But if you belong to the majority, you will have to seek your way in the world. Not being especially trained or talented, you will probably follow a path leading to one of our local accredited institutions — in short, factory work. But this is all fact, and consequently dull and uninteresting. The point of these two hundred odd words is that whatever way you choose, or whatever path is chosen for you, there is always ambition. Ambition may be dulled in the daily grind of factory labor or lost in the social gaiety of college, but its only limitations are within oneself. There are no heights that cannot be scaled b) ambition plus determination. One, however, must know the requirements and be prepared to fulfill them. Money helps more than a great deal. However it is the things within oneself that make for success. This sounds terribly preachy, but think it over and you will realize its truth. The Texas Tragedy Hundreds of mounds of heaped-up dirt on a lonely Texas plain. That is all that now remains of the youthful population of New London High School. A trag- edy too grim and too tragic to be interpreted by the printed word. The younger generation of New London has gone back to God and left behind a void too deep to ever be refilled on this earth. Ihis disaster was worse than war. Horrible in its swift devastation. Yet for one brief instarit it united the people of this nation. Their common bond was sympathy. But, here at Stoughton High School we claim a bond that is twofold -both of sympathy and of youth. Sympathy, like sorrow, however deep, heals with age. Youth knows no age and is inconsolable. To this heart-broken Texan community, goes our deepest and sincerest sympathy together with the expressed wish that we could in some way, aid that portion of our rank that has gone before us.
