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

We are a lively, iolly, and enthusiastic group of stu- dents. We have enjoyed our classes and school activities. Though at times we have felt discouraged, we have trudged forward with all our might, to a higher level each day . We are trying hard to get a training that will enable us to help carry out the Gospel Commission. Rome was not built in a day. Neith- er can we climb to the height of our ambitions in a day. We have begun the path which leads to success and we intend to keep striving till we have attained our goal. BERNARD MUTH. The Freshmen are looking forward to taking the places of first the Sopho- mores, then the juniors, and last the Seniors. XVe believe that now is the time for preparation, so we may be able to Ell their places efficiently. All of our activities are stepping stones leading to this goal. Some of our Freshmen sing in the Girls' Glee Club and others play in the orchestra. We are not only learn- ing lessons from our books, but are also learning to work faithfully and well. We are doing our best to keep the spirit of our school what God and its founders ordained it to be. CARoL KAT'ruNHoRN. I6
