I MR. C. H. SCI-IAFER Assisfant Principal A democracy can do nothing finer than to offer its young people ex- cellent educational opportunities. In this respect, Cincinnati is one of the foremost cities of our country with public day schools, public night schools, and a municipal university. However, opportunities in themselves are not sufficient. There must be those who will accept them. The graduates of the Class of 1931 il- lustrate what can be done by making the most out of oneis opportunities. Graduation signifies the completion of a live-year course. Commence- ment should be a time for planning further endeavors, a time for en- visaging the progress they would like to make during the next five years. Cincinnati has made it possible for these students to graduate from a first grade high school. They have contributed freely of their time, energy, and money. Let us trust that the graduates of 1931 will prove to be such good citizens that the city will be repaid for its investments. C. H. SCHAFER, Assisfant Principal. llll .

I MR. G. F. FRANZ Principal I Q . It is greatly satisfying to know you, nearly three hundred striving, ambitious young people, who complete your high school education this year. When the rest of the world is down at the mouth, you heartily struggle on. The times are hard and many men lose faith in their fellow- men, but you with stout hearts have carried on. In the physical world even nature perversely withheld her generous bounty, but you with faces' front and optimistic courage shouted Let's go, let's finish the task. And now as you arrive at this longed-for destination, glowing with the satisfaction of work well done, you need but look about you to see other and larger worlds to conquer. May you continue to have the courage, the zeal, the energy to conquer these worlds of your future as you had them to overcome all obstacles in your past. May ignorance, in- justice, and selishness melt away before your courageous advance as the chilly mist melts away before the glowing sun's bright rays. In times like these some men grow faint and fall by the wayside, but you are the hope of the world. May your lives be successful, may your conquests be many, may your joys be full. G. F. FRANZ, Principal. I 10 l

MR. L. STEGMAN Assistant Secretary To you, the members of the Senior Class of 1931, I express my appreciation f o r y o u r splendid cooperation and untir- ing efforts in supporting all the activities of our school. May your daily endeavors all through life bring to you as much success as you have helped to bring to West Night. LESTER STEGMAN, Assistant Secrefary. MR. E. M. BLERSCH Secretary The titles, Most Intelligent - Most Athletic - Most Witty, may bring a certain degree of satisfaction to the ones selected by the Senior Class. However, far greater than any individual classiication would be a character molded from a combination of the above groups plus a firm resolution to take advantage of the opportunities offered to you. Thus you will have a firmer foundation upon which to build your highway of life and to improve those facul- ties with which you have been endowed. E. M. BLERSCH, Secretary. F 12
