Senior Farewell FFIIOTU JIFIIIIIFH' of Ihr Class nf 1945 It is with mingled sentiment that we view ourselves for the last time as a class in this our final six weeks. On such an occasion complete happiness is impossible. The pain of parting from beloved scenes and of severing the friendships of four happy, bustling years causes a lump in our throats, yet those alluring, soul disturbing peeps into the future. How our pulses hammer when he hopefully reflects that somewhere out there in the noisy conflict of gigantic industrial and commercial development there is a place for me! We have long dreamed of it. We would never dare to doubt its existence, for youth would not be youth without that touching confidence in the future. And now, fellow members of the 1945 graduating class, we, too, must part. We shall go our separate Ways, but though space may divide us we shall always be ioined in heart and spirit and the memories of our days in Tigard High will always be cherished. May good fortune attend us, and, may we remember that the training we have received is but the preparation in our youth for the sequel of our lives. Friends, may you recall only our virtues, forgetting our faults, and may the future vears bring you nothing but kind recollections of those who now bid you good-bye.
