ti ff 2' 2? Youth Faces Tomorrow 45. The thousands of girls and boys being graduated from high school : this year are the men and women of tomorrow. The future of our country . depends on these boys and girls. ln a few years they will be guiding the destiny of our country. We, as members of the graduating class of the Wakeheld High School, are members of this group. We are the leaders 'pg of tomorrow. Without us our country cannot and will not succeed. , The future challenges youth! Will youth take up that challenge and win? Or will youth fail in that tremendous task? There will be a certain group that will succeed: but there are others who will fall into a ca narrow channel and never get any farther. Shall we be members of the is progressive or static group? lt is we alone who can answer this question. and it is wholly up to us to answer it correctly. We cannot over-emphasize the fact that me as yozztlvs are needed in the trials of tomorrow. Youth zs tomorrow! There will be no tomorrow unless youth accepts the challenge thrown into its lap by the Future. We can be what we want to be if we reallv have determination. Classmates v ,' of 1930, accept this challenge and be somebody! Do not allow anybody or anything to throw you oft your path llave iaith, and the future of our country will be a sate one. We await tomorrma-tomorrow awaits us. 5 HARLAN GILLIS, '39 af Us Sf 'Q Page Seven

rf What Next? fa fi s We are approaching the close of another school year. For some of 5 us, our tasks are over for a while, but others will face new duties. Many of us have looked ahead to Commencement, that event which means the beginning of new experiences in our lives. After Commencement we ch shall have to meet the important question, What next? Some of our f 1 classmates will go to college, others will enter the business world, but Sf many of us will be in doubt. As we gaze into the future, we wonder just what is before us. Time alone can make known the events which will shape themselves and our lives and characters. Experience is said to be the best teacher. This seems to be true in every respect and in all stages of life. Intelligence is always helpful, but through experience one appre- ciates the meaning of what one has studied. .9 We cannot see what will happen in the future, but we can always look on those things of the past and see where we have made our mistakes, and by what we have profited. Experience, therefore, makes one self- s confident in his particular field of work. Thus, experience leaves an example for the following generation to exemplify. All that ever has been accomplished and all that ever will be accomplished is through hard work and experience. 1 RITA PETERsoN, '39 Q The Builders of The Class of l939 With the graduation of the Class of 1939 from Wakefield lligh School, one chapter in the lives of the students will be completed. Soon another chapter will begin. Our high school experiences have led us to 3 the first paragraph of this new unit. Our school and our teachers have done their best to furnish us with a good background. The old parable states that the house which weathers the storms successfully is built on a firm foundation of rock. Our schooling, our friendships, and our knowl- edge derived from our high-school days constitute a firm footing. It is for us to build our lives on this solid base. We must profit by what we have learned, and we must create our houses in a manner which will be worthy of their splendid foundations. We Can, We Shall, We Will.
