Superintendent’s Message Tramp! tramp! shuffle! patter! Down the hallways go hundreds of moving shoes. Day in and day out, week in and week out, year after year they can be seen and heard going in all directions. What do they represent? The old spiritual says: “All God’s children got shoes.” It must be true for all these shoes are the property of God's children — the youth, the life, the light and hope of a community. And God certainly has a lot of different kinds of children! Where are they all going? Those that are the property of the serious minded are going to activities that will prepare them for their places in life. They are on the way to learn to work, to play, to take responsibility. Those with the slow moving hesitant steps perhaps belong to the younger people or the careless or those without purpose — yet. But soon they will see their goals and move steadily forward toward them. What an inspiring privilege to be able to have a part in guiding all these shoe-clad feet into purposeful and worthwhile activity! What a privilege to have spent four years in the classrooms, the study halls, the library, the corridors among the many different personalities that are represented by these hundreds of shoes — among the various nationalities, with the rich and the poor, the highly intelligent, and the plodder. What a privilege to have lived with such people for four years and to have had the opportunity of carving out for oneself a niche in the social life of such a group. Each member of the senior class has had that opportunity and has made a place for himself, a place that is representative of his own ambitions and ideals and abilities. The seniors this year have made their contributions to the spirit and tradition of the school. It has been a grand contribution. May those that follow be able to worthily fill their shoes in the years ahead. L. O. Dawson

FINE ARTS Leon Wri Ht. B. A Arlene ScKutte School 'Treasurer Qy KlrS]DHaz'l Ry“n ------- Our faculty is an intregal part of our organization, and I have been with them cont.nuously. I have known then problems and complaints, as well as their'.nt.mate joys and triumphs. I have become accustomed to their nervous little mannerisms and sometimes even bear the brunt of their anger. I have been tapped rhythmically against the floor, pounded rapidly down the corridor, and occasionally, in a quieter moment, rested discreetly under a chair. Since 1936, 1 have walked with Mr. L. E. Wright through the corridors of UTHS, and I was one of the first to know of the planned seventy-fifth birthday celebration. Yes, I have known them all. But come with me now as I journey through the next few pages, refreshing my mental image of each familiar face. Signed, • . . . “A Shoe” COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Mary Bruc er, B. S.
