30141 1 3 111011 1:1 1 1 lui The Way In We are all like ships, sailing on the Sea of Life, toward the Land of the Future. As we approach the shore, there is a haze hanging over it for all of us, but for some of us, this haze is a blanketing fog, blotting out the future. As ships, we need a good Captain to guide us through this fog into the llarbor of Success and away from the Rocks of Failure. Your Captains are your elders. Their advice may seem wrong and hard to follow, but these Captains have been through the Storms of Life, and this is but your Nlaiden Voyage. Remember that although a task may seem difficult at first, no one has ever succeeded without working. We have chosen for our class motto, the maxim, Try, Trust, Triumph. Think it over. Try . . . no one can go far without trying. lf you go to college, you will need to try in everything: your studies, your athletic activities, and your social affairs. Going to work? No employer wants a person to work for him who is not willing to try. Trust . . . trust in yourself first of all. Know that you are going to win in whatever you do. And trust in your Captains. They will guide you safely through the fog. Triumph . . . the fog has lifted. Clear sailing ahead! Xl,xRoERv TYLER, '38 Wfry, Trust, T1'illll1IJT1,9 The Class of 1938 has chosen the motto, Try, Trust, Triumph , as a standard to follow not only in high school, but in later trials and ac- complishments. We have tried to reach the highest goal possible. This goal constitutes the foundation of business and social interests which, in the future, will require our opinions and decisions on difficult matters. The saying, lf at first you don't succeed. try, try again , is certainly familiar to all of us. Nobody is able to obtain success without some fail- ures. Nobody is able to accomplish much without a quiet time for thought. Nobody is able to succeed without any effort. If we do things to the best of our ability, we can trust that some day we shall reach our particular aim in life. No matter what our future may be, we must all start with the idea that we can obtain nothing valuable without work. Theodore Roose- velt once said that we should share the things which made our interests a success with the problem of our community or nation. We can express this idea in one word-co-operation. We can never triumph as individuals or as a nation unless we try, and trust that we are the builders of a better place in which to live. Let us hope that we, as classmates, will remember this fine motto and will live up to its meaning in whatever country or Linder whatever circumstances we may find ourselves in later years. Let us make Try, Trust and Triumph a reality!

They have endeavored to make the work representative of the class as a whole, with short accounts of the various school activities, and with samples of creative writing done by the students. lt is particularly opportune at this time to express our sincere appreciation to Miss Bernice L. Caswell, head of the English Department, without whose generous assistance this book could not have been a success. JOHN BARRY, Editor'-iii-Chief Wfry, Trust, T1'illlllIJ11,, Ambition is said to be one of the most important factors that help one attain success. The education that we have received at Wakefield lligh School has prepared us for many of the higher ideals of life, for edu- cation has innumerable outlets. Iloxvever. the degree of success that one reaches in life is due to his determination to succeed. One of the most famous inscriptions throughout the world is ln God We Trust. Certainly if the universe has recognized this statement, we. the future citizens of America, should have sincere faith in our fellow men. 'lihis spirit would produce a spirit of co-operation. Without co-op- eration it is almost impossible to found a successful business or establish a congenial social group. Co-operation is a degree of trust that one has in his fellow men. 'lihe words of the motto are arranged in a logical order. As we go on our way in the future, if we keep the class motto in mind, we are sure to feel some amount of triumph.
