2 ▲ a The Garnet and White Alma iflntrr Soon I must wander far from thee Into this wide world that is calling me. Within thy walls I have learned the truths; Within thy walls I have learned the virtues: Never to forget the friendship thou has taught. Something sacred and golden which cannot be bought. Thy knowledge and strength are deep in my heart. Where they shall remain though we must part. It’s thy loyalty, happiness, and trust that I gain. Which I shall always link with thy name; This is what thou has done for me; Dear Alma Mater, Farewell to thee! Barbara Lewis, '37

The Garnet and White a a a 3 2Icat HJe Jfiorget June 17, 1937 TODAY we are but students; tomorrow we are men and women of the world. Let us remember what we have learned in our school days—not only the studies and the work, but also the philosophy of life as expressed by our leaders and teachers. When we enter the “outer” world, we should carry with us the ideals of American living: the democracy that is the heritage of the American people; the ideal of right above might; peace and commerce rather than war and death; respect for religion, law, and justice; personal liberty coupled with public cooperation; and the self-virtues of honesty, courtesy, service, anil honor. With these ideals before us we can aid much in the growth and progress of our community, state, and nation. George Boortsalas, ’37 “Site iEttft of the I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, But for what you are making of me; I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life. Not a tavern, but a temple.” WE have come to the end of Life’s beginning. The beginning was chosen for us; now we must choose the end. Will it be worthy of our effort? As we leave the footpath and enter the highway, we turn our thoughts back to the days of work and fun: laughter in the hall, cheerful “hellos on the steps, understanding eyes, and sympathetic conversations with a friend. All these things mean West Chester High School to us. No matter how far we may wander, she will always be a part of us. II. Anne Powell, ’37 So till Class of WHEN you draw near to the end of your four years of your high school career, no matter what your medium, your goal must always be the same: to learn to think clearly and to live successfully with other people. Your achievements in the world will be proportional, as you will soon find out, first, to your ability to face facts squarely, to analyze them thoroughly, to make decisions wisely—in short to think clearly. This alone, however, will not be suffi- cient. You, just as we, are members of a social group which makes demands upon you, and, in return, grants you varied rights. You will receive privileges only according to your willingness to assume obligations. During the past three years many of you have been active in conducting affairs of your class and school. No doubt, this experience has endeared your high school life to you, for it is only in proportion to unselfish service rendered that life be- comes enriched. I hope that the ideals of West Chester High School will guide your actions so that you may develop into worthy and honorable citizens of our great country. May eternal qualities—loyalty, kindness, and justice—be per- manently yours. Evelyn Smith, '37
