CLASS CREED Friends of the radio audience: As other classes have creeds, so havo we, the class of 1939 of the Theresa High School. We believe in many great and good things. We feel that it is necessary for us to explain our creed, for several outstanding reasons. We believe in our future and in the possibilities of advancement; yet we realize that in all progress there lies the certainty of change. The principles for which we have elected to stand are the great fundamentals of life that form the foundation of manhood and womanhood. We think that wo should allow ourselves to be put upon the e- ternal records as having givon much interest in each of them. First, as a class, we believe in our motto Success Is Victory. We do not believe that we could have secured a more well-moaning motto thon the one we have chosen, even if we had searched in a thousand other books and places. We, as a class, feel that we have chosen.our motto vory carefully r.nu in: the year» borcor.ia, wpMiavc. ddbori.umod to turn every thought and ambition toward Success Is Vic- tory. We.believe in tho triumph of all good and the downfall of all evil and pledge ourselves to v ork it out to the greatest extent. We bcliove very dearly in the motto Success In Victory. We believe, secondly, in our colors, crimson and silver, that it is suitable for all groups of individuals, to show their colors bravely and boldly, in order that the world may know just where they 3tand. We believe in our colors, because thoy point out to us just what a perfect life should bo like at the boginning of its courso through the world's work. We shall do everything that is within our strength to force all the world to believe in our class colors, Crimson and silver. Wo believe, thirdly, in our class flower, the rose. There are reasons why we have chosen the rose to be our class flower. First, because its beauty and richness appeals to our artistic sense. Secondly because it is the greatest symbol of love and honor.

 f Fourth and last, friends, v c believe in our- selves. Of course, v c have to or nobody else would. Y c believe in ourselves because v c hope and think that v c are just beginning to £ct acquainted with ourselves. This means that v c know all our weakness- es and we have a l:nowled£c of what v c can do. V ith our beliefs with colors, motto still in our mind, v c move as a class across the boundary line which separates school life from life's £rcat school. Friends this is our creed—not much of a creed to those who have learned the lessons of life but to us who have just nicely begun our work, it means a great deal. Let us be loyal to that creed. Thank you, Viola. We interrupt this program to give you listeners a humor interest story. Early this evening, Robert Tilly drove up in front of Mery Stone's house. She came out and got in the car, but it seems the car was stuck in the snow. Aaron Horton, v ho had not arrived before I.Ir. Tilley came walking up the street to take Mary for a walk. When he arrived, he saw that the car was stuck. lie borrowed a shovel and helped Bob out. Then Ilary and Robert drove off, leaving Aaron standing there with the shovel in his hand, yes, said Aaron, ''That's gratitude for you. This interruption was caused by a young reporter, Roger Wilson. lJo doubt our rude intruder will be heard again, [although Roger is usually content to stand back and only help when he is needed; still Roger does not stand back when there is a pretty girl going by. Time ha3 marched on to June 1939 and so now v e have before us a girl who has the queerest ideas and asks the oddest questions. Bertha Garceau will give you our March of Time.
