Honor Roll Valedictorian.Howard Scheetz Salutatorian.M. C. Wright Historian.Beverly Light Prophecy.Bob Grim Pat Wagner, John Pugh Calendar.Donna Parker Will.1.Lorraine Cone M. J. Weaver, Mary Shimp After 4 years of slaving, the ten little prodigies of our class step for¬ ward. But honestly they’re human. They can’t help it if they w ere born with lots of brains, and use them. After piling up points for A’s and B’s their diligence was rewarded and so now they are on our Honor Roll. Salutatory Parents, faculty, fellow students, and friends. For twelve years we have looked steadily forward to this day. Many who started out with us cannot be here on this occasion: some have failed to meet the high standards required and others have been inducted into the Army and Navy. Some of us will enjoy the privilege of entering colleges or universities. Others may help in the defense factories, and many of our male members will fight for their country. They will learn about the world and its hardships immediately while others of us will continue to be guided by teachers, parents, and friends. It will take some of us a long time to perceive just how things we have learned in school will apply to our everyday living. Undoubtedly we shall discover that all is not as we expected it should be in the world. Then we shall need advice and encouragement in order that we won’t lose the ideals that we have gained here. As students of this high school, we have tried to do our best, though at times the journey seemed hard and the steady grind of school-life became tiresome. But we who have succeeded in attaining this goal now have set up new ones to be met in the days to come. The future of America depends upon young men and young women like us. We are the ones who will have to build the post-war world. We are the ones who will have to settle the questions of unemployment and secure a lasting peace. Can we do it ? At least we can try. —Mary Carolyn Wright. 23
