SENIOR RECORD NUMBER 3 Mizz Ziurnvfz illllvnaagv NIY FRIENDS: Old Tinze's great clock that never stops, Nor runs too fast nor slow, Hung up amid the worlds of spare, Where wheeling planets glow, Its dial plate, the orbit vast, Where whirls our mundane sphere, Has pushed its pointer ronnd again, And struck another year. And another class passes out from Upper Darby High School to higher institutions of learning or into Life's great school. As you go forth, knowing that nothnig worth while was ever accomplished without persistent effort, and that true glory lies in silent conquest of yourselves, may you be given strength to encounter that which is to come, may you be brave in peril, constant in tribu- lation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death loyal and loving one to another. May your lives be fuller and richer for lessons learned in Upper Darby High School, and as you look back upon your student life here may its memories ever be pleasant and inspiring. While for your happiness thus daily pleading I say 'God bless yon,' and I leave the rest. How can we tell what those we love are needing, How can we tell what for each heart is best? I lift my eyes to Him who only knoweth, And pray that He will bless yon in His way. ELISABETH D. TURNER.

SENIOR RECORD NUMBER Mr. ilmmhrnlmllh iillvmmgv DEAR FRIENDS : You are going forth as the twenty-fourth child of dear old Upper Darby. Contrasted, numerically, with the first, which numbered Five members, you stand out, powerful and strong, with your fifty sturdy young men and young women. Contrasted, in other ways-but who can tell? The future unfolds slowly and it alone can give us an accounting of you, in whom we are plac- ing our confidence and our trust. You go forth. today, into the world's confiict to brave its storms or to be overwhelmed with its hardships. The noblest experience which you will have is the good light which you will go through. It is the quality of the struggle put forth by a man that proclaims to the world what man-ner of man he is. It matters not so much to a man that he has won. as it does that he has worked for the goal honestly and with all his force and energy. And, now, go forth with the idea that your Hnished course will be one of triumph and credit to you. Have confidence in yourselves, be self reliant, finish one phase of life before taking up the next. Remember that un- finished tasks must always be done over again, and yet again, no matter how far we may hope to have left them in the past. Be able to feel the thrill of self- respect that arises when one can assert with a justihable pride, I have finished my course. H. M. M1cNm:N11ALL.
