Page Eig In My Book of Memories Somewhere in the book of memories There is a space reserved for these: A louely school, quiet, sedate, My fellow .vruiors who zecrc ncver late, My teachers who had to fathom deep To hnd the brain they hoped to meet. Returning to the beginning of my high school nu moms I see myself with shaking knees Entering the portals of W.H..S. That I was a fresh-man you never would guess. We'll turn the page in my memory hook And give my sophomore year a look Well, not too bad! I'm doing better: I no longer look like an Irish setter. No more woe-begone eyes with wonder in store As I vainly look for the fourth or fifth floor. My marks are improving and that isn't had, If they don't stay that way I'll hear from Dad. What is this on the very n-ext page? Why it seems that I made my junior grade. At last an upperclassmang boy, what a thrill! I'm so happy I ran hardly sit still. Well, low and behold, now don't go and faint But a little old junior I no longer ain't. Alas, though I try with all my might, My l'l'lCIIl0I'Y4'LlIl,1 get English right. At long last we come to the end. I hope it hasn't bored you, my friend. To the students I leave I pass on one thought: You have -to workg knowledge ean't he bought. But what do you know! 1 got through, And surely if I did, you can too. Here on the last line all done in gold. Are great big letters written so hold. In this year of our Lord, one, nine, four, seven Ruth made it, good gracious, My stars, THANK HEAVEN. RUTH I I VM lx

S wif approach graduation. we are upon the threshold of opportunity. Now that we have passed the preliminary stages, we are ready for the finals. This time the finals are the real test, the test of life. First, we must know what we are looking for, keeping in mind high ideals leading toward a definite culmination ol' our aims. These aims are happiness an-d satisfaction. When we think of these two goals, what do we mean? Do we mean money, power, sell'-importance? Thomas A. Edison, a, man we all know and admire, led a, contented and satis- factory life. He created and produced inventions for the bettermen of mankind. llad he manufactured his applianees, he prohahly eould have been wealthy and powerful, hut he sold all his diseoveries outright. Surh a man realized that happi- ness Comes not from wealth hut from pursuing one's own amhition. Like Edison, we too are looking for happiness and satisfaction, and we are likely to encounter many difiieulties as we enrhark upon our new adventure. lN'e are like a. ship newly launched into the sea of life-a new trim craft with shiny sails and the latest of modern equipment. .lust heeause we are well equipped does not mean wo shall have easy, Calm weather all through the voyage. All of us will experience our share of troubles and rough weather. During the tempest we may even lose our rudder. hut let us make a temporary rudder and fight the storm to victory. VN'hen we win, then we shall know real satisfaction. Again sailing the calm and peaeeflil water we shall have cause to he little proud. for a great ship is not always the one that looks sleek and trim in the harbor, hut it is one that is rugged-one that can stand battle and survive. GERALD '.llliRRlLI, Page Seven
