WE TOO HAVE FRONTIERS The time has come for us all to say good-bye. lt seems impossible that our high school days are almost over. Was it not only yesterday that we were bewildered freshmen? We really cannot believe that four years have gone: but as we come nearer to graduation, we know it is true. lt would be wonderful if we could all stay together, the Class of '49, forever and ever. Vvle could help each other surmount the barriers that we shall meet in later life. Like our forefathers, the forty-niners of the Gold Rush. whose centennial we celebrate this year, we have new lands to conquer and new frontiers always appearing on our road to success. We must keep pushing back these frontiers until we come upon the calm, cool water of prosperity. as our ancestors extended boundaries ever westward until they came upon the blue. placid waters of the Pacific. We have the task of making world peace and harnessing atomic energy. These are the frontiers before us, and we. the Class of 1949, must conquer them like our forefathers of 1849, who overcame the obstacles of wind, dust, forests. heat and cold on their westward journey. RUTH POOLE JUNIORS' FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS The day has come and the world you face: We. the juniors, take your place As the proud. staunch seniors of Watervliet High. To departing seniors, we bid goodbye. You'll soon be part of 'Vliet's Hall of Fame: Youve struggled for greatness since the day you came. XVe'll lack your presence in our long, bright hall: Goodbye, dear seniors, We'll miss you all. The day you've awaited has now arriv:d-- The day you've worked for, studied and strived: And now when you're leaving with many a sigh, We wish you good luck, good health and goodbye. ROBERT N. NOLAN
