W. M. KERN LAST WORDS TO THE SENIORS: Our intimate and friendly relations, over a period of twelve years, prompts me to send you this brief message as you approach the close of your highschool career and face Commencement. Over a period of approximately eighteen years you have been served by others and have lived on wealth earned and accumulated by others. This fact, I hope, has not escaped your attention. The bread you ate, the clothing you wore, the house in which you lived, were made by others. You have been educated at public expense: the books you studied, the paper on which you wrote your theme, the pencil with which it was written, were provided by others. Others have worked and saved and provided in order that you might have care and leisure and opportunity. To you much has been given Of you much will be expected. This truth Jesus intended for you. Sincerely, W, M, Kern SUPERINTENDENT PAGE SIX

DEDICATION Time passes on the fleetest of feet and memory turns to the past— to Marcus Whitman, pioneer, and forefather of this, our land. The one- hundred-year period of progress marked by the Whitman Centennial celebration arouses within our hearts a feeling of reverence and gratitude to that brave pioneer spirit that foresaw in the Northwest a future of great promise. The wise and far-seeing precepts of the past challenge the present-day youth to greater and more perfect fulfillment. It is to that spirit of pioneering which inspired Marcus Whitman to explore and tame an unk nown region, to that same spirit of progress which inspired the graduating class of 1936 to make possible the publishing of this volume, that we dedicate this book.

W. A. LACEY PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE After a lapse of several years the Royal Blue is starting again. It Is considered so valuable by so many students that sacrifices are»made In order that it may again be a feature of the school ' s life. The enduring pleasure which it gives should prove the wisdom of its revival. The fri endships and associations of the highschool years that influence all later life so profoundly may well be enriched and preserved In the pictures that form the best part of any such book. Visual memories they are, that tie the first of life to the rest, and brighten all This book specially honors the Class of 1936, the largest class to graduate from the Walla Walla Highschool In many ways the class has felt the pinch of the lean years, and It Is fitting that it should be instrumental In reviving this publication. May the Royal Blue of ' 36 serve its pleasant purpose, and may the Class of ' 36 prosper in service and happiness! W. A. Lacey PRINCIPAL PAGE SEVEN
