Seniors of i935-You have chosen ships for your theme. l see ships sent out to sea and they are loaded with visions, hopes and dreams. Are you prepared to bring your cargo back to port or will your ship drift with the rolling sea? To realize your visions, your hopes, and your dreams, and to bring back your cargo will require effort on your part. lt was Oliver Wendell Holmes who wrote-- I find the greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it-but we must sail and not drift or be at anchor. Life with its joys and sorrows, its temptations and triumphs, its false lights and fixed stars, is all before you. My hope for you is that you may choose wisely your course. Bon voyagel Sincerely your friend, MAMIE L. SALLEE Girls' Vice-Principal MRS. SALLEE VICE-PRINCIPALS During the past year we have encountered our heaviest seas, have met our greatest obstacles, and still we sail majestically onward. We have weathered the storm and already the promise of clearer skies and fairer breezes is becoming a realization. But what a buf- ivire. 1 ,.X f 4 ,-ff feting we have experienced! Never has a crew deserved more praise for its determina- tion, its effort and its progress. Our ship has been under-officered and under-manned. Instead of the ninety-three officers and twenty-two hundred able- bodied seamen of which we so recently boasted, our staff has fallen to eighty-three, and our crew to less than eighteen hundred. The ship itself has all but been destroyed. Four sections, containing in all some sixty or more cabins, have been demolished and the crew has been housed in temporary can- vas structures, hurriedly thrown up on a sloppy, poorly drained deck. The elements have conspired against us and we have suf- fered blinding' storms. The wind has carried away many a top-sail, the decks have lit- erally run with water and many of the crew deserted. Yet we sail on and the sun is shining once more, the new structures to replace those destroyed by the disaster are nearing completion and a new hope stirs in the breasts of the hardy but weary crew. We have weathered the storm. All praise to the indomitable spirit of the officers and crew. R. B. SHAW Boys' Vice-Principal Page eleven

PRESlDENT'S MESSAGE First Semester We have made a success of this semes- ter by earning the respect of the city schools by working so hard under unusual circumstances.

With your fine spirit and cooperation, the Student Body will scale to new heights. ln parting, my humble wishes and hopes are for your success and happiness. My experiences and good times will be a ioy to recall and remember. ln facing the semester problems together, l trust a true and lasting friendship has been sealed among us, Always your friend, BARNEY LESCOULIE STUDENT BODY P R E SID E Nfltfvfff l ff L .X L ' r LESCOULIE ll PRESlDENT'S MESSAGE Second Semester sl mer '35 draws to a close, it bri o me both pleasure and regret- pe re in that the support and loyalty y have given me as president of the udent Body could not have been excelled and regret that my term, with all its abundant memories of working with you, comes to a close. The loyalty of Venice High School has never been better exemplified than during the past semester. ln spite of almost un- surmountable obstacles, the spirit of the school has been preserved and this is due in no small measure to the members of the student body. My hope is that whatever unforeseen circumstances may occur, the spirit of Venice High shall always be maintained. And so, good wishes for an endless so- journ of success and happiness on your voyage. l-lail and farewell! Loyally yours, DON MURCHISON DON MURCHISON Page thirteen
