We are indeed grateful to all the members of the faculty for the assistance and encouragement they have given us. and to our parents through whose sacrifice wc were able to complete our studies. We trust that the Junior Class will uphold all the traditions of our high sehool. and that each member will do his best toward making YV eilston High Sehool the best in the world, as we have striven to do.

o GRADUATION So this is the end of the Senior year; We have each done our best all the time;; We have striven for this day which is so dear And will be cherished in every mind. We may perhaps sometimes wrong have done To our teachers and lessons, too; But we'll try to do better in years to come. In the work which we start anew. Even though things sometimes may go wrong, To do our best let us try; Let us toil and succeed with a willing song, “For 'tis better to laugh than to cry.” Shall we gather rosebuds while we may, While the opportune time is at hand ? And make hay while the sun shines today. Or—let deeds slip away like sand ? Shall we go “Onward” through the. paths of Life, Securing all that which we may; And climb the ladder of fame in our strife, Or—let opportunities slip away? Now, classmen, the day has come at last When our lives must all drift apart; Remember the good times we’ve had in the past And start again with a pure, clean heart. Whatever we do, let’s do it right; And be square to all the rest; And succeed through toil with all our might, “For he profits most, who serves best.” —Fer.voi.ga I.each.

We wish them success and indeed from our three years of association with them we feel that the problems they must meet will be met with a courage that brings success. It is our hope as Juniors that we may finish our high school course with such a record as they have made. Realizing that it is our duty to uphold the traditions and standards of our school, we have also made it our aim. not merely to uphold those traditions, but if possible to raise the standards. In bidding you farewell, we. as Juniors, wish you happiness and every opportunity in your life’s work. Your motto Onward” has led you to success during your high school career, may it lead you to even greater success in future years. Rodney W. Scott, President of the ( l:,ss I !'-( •
