YAKIMA VALLEY ACADEMY Ending, But Beginning We seniors have finished our years of academic work. We have endeavored to be faithful to our friends and to our work as we have toiled to reach this point in the road. Now our days at Yakima Valley Academy are ended. But we are not as the poor Indian at The End of the Trail. Although we are tired, we think fondly of the way we have come, and look forward courageously, for before us there is no dark, dangerous chasm. There is opened to our vision a brighter path than we have traveled, a higher goal than was before us. This new way we are now beginning. It may not all appear clear before our eyes, but we have been preparing for it, and we know that as we press forward, our Divine guide will be at our side, leading us in the path to our goal. The way which we will travel is one of deeper study and wider experience. We will continue our preparation for work in the cause of God, and our efforts to avail ourselves of every opportunity to be of service to our associates. We are determined that we will not become discouraged. Remembering the days that have meant so much to us but are now ended, and keeping our eyes ever forward, we shall find that the wider road we are now beginning leads to true success. Class prophecy lConIinunl from page 121 While I was still in Portland, I received a message telling me to sail at once for Germany. I have been in Cologne since then. Last week I saw both Janet Miller and Kathleen Keen. Janet is here studying music during the summer months, but during the winter months she has been teaching music at Newbold Missionary College in Eng- land. Kathleen is still traveling in the interests of the Seventh-day Adventist Educa- tional Work for the European Division. I regret that I could not see you as I had planned. I will be in the States again about the last of August and will see you then. I hope you are enjoying your work as Social Welfare Worker in your town, for this position surely gives you an opportunity to do a real missionary work. Write soon as I will be here only a few weeks longer. Your loving brother, John I3

YAKIMA VALLEY ACADEMY , Motto WHAT WE ARE To BE, WE ARE BECOMING The class of 1935 will go down on record as one of the liveliest and jolliest Junior classes ever seen at Y. V. A. We have successfully climbed to the eleventh step of the ladder, and we are sure we can surmount the twelfth. To the Freshmen, we would say Keep striving, for every green thing soon gets its growth. We did. To the Sophomores, our advice is to keep up your patience and hopeg you will soon fill our places. We are sure you can do it, for you are an enthusiastic group. To the Seniors, we would freely give of our sympathy, for we know you do not want to leave this school. We feel, however. that we can successfully fill your places and uphold the standards you have set before us. To the faculty, we would give our apologies for the many restless nights we may have caused you. We wish to thank you for leading us in the path of right, and we will strive to follow it more closely during our closing year at Yakima Valley Academy. We shall not soon forget the lessons which we have learned this year. We have received a better understanding of our mother tongue. W'e have gained a knowledge of German traits and characteristics by learning to speak the German language. We have learned to make our fingers work as quickly as our lips and to efficiently keep books. Above all, we have caught sight of the road to eternal life. Each one of us is desirous of perfecting a Christian character which will stand the test of time. We hope that each Junior who reads these lines will be inspired to join us this coming year and make our class bigger and better than ever before. THE- JUNIORS. I5 1
