IUIU ID A N N IIJA IL Russell L. Mast -- William Mbrdsworth once spoke of Wthe inward eye which is the bliss of selitudeu. More and more as we grow older we begin to use that inward eye. Through that eye we recount the memories of our young- er years which move away relentlessly into the past. The activit - ies of today are the memories of tomerrew,, What we say and do today are the memories that will make tomorrow rich or poor. For this reason, school days are especially important. The friendships, the ideals, and the ambitions which we develop in the days of our youth will always be with us when we live tomorrow. Carl Hostetler -- I On February 8, 1941, I watched a basketball game between our team , and an equally good neighboring team, It was a thrilling occasion, because it not only brought back memories of my own playing and coaching, but I saw in our boys and team followers a quality covet- ed and respected by every coach and intelligent spectator in the country. After the game was over, I remembered not so much who wen but how our boys played the game .... You had the spirit to win, you played hard, and most of all, you were good sports and gentlemen. A few weeks later, I was happy to hear that you at Walnut Creek High school had been awarded the trophy for good sportsmanship. And so I pay tribute to my former colleague, who is your coach, to your teachers, and to the Alumni, students and friends, who are the life and spirit of an important institution of your community-- Welnum Creek High School. Ralph Poechy -- High school days are never forgotten,- It seems only a few years a- go that Roy Miller and I drove an old Wgalopyn to W. C. H. S. three times a week, the other two days, we either hitch-hiked or walked . Among the many incidents, I very vividly recall two: first, every noon during the winter season, basketball was played in overalls and boots, between the old school building and the township house 3 second, Samuel Miller, Jr., and HSettyW Hestetler pretended they were at home plate, batting the.ball with either a ruler or pencil, which would supply plenty of entertainment for the entire studyhall I am deeply indebted to W, C. H. S., the faculty, and the student body, for their services and kindnesses extended to us. I am fur- ther grateful to members of the faculty and student body who have served and attended W. C. H. S. since 1925. ll QI -al ll
