The daytime brings out the suns, it takes the night to bring out the stars. And stars you are, shining among men, for your effortsetoiling by day, learning by night-demonstrate to the world an ambition becoming to all men and women. Looking back to my night-school evenings-the four years spent in class, associating with real sincere peoplewto-day I value them most highly, for they guided me in righteous- ness through my molding years and taught me much to battle life's problems. I ask of God to bless the men and women teachers who give up their evenings that we may be taught the light to higher learning and happiness. Yours very truly, ED. H. LEMKER. Perhaps the majority of the people mentioned so far are strangers to you, but surely not the next one. He is our dear friend and Secretary at West Night, Ernie Blersch. Ernie was graduated in 1911 and assumed his present position as Secretary at West Night in September of 1915. Concerning the merits of a night high-school education, he writes: The need for a high-school education has become more urgent with each passing year. We are deeply grateful for the splendid night high-school system that has enabled us to con- tinue our education when economic circumstances made attendance at day school no longer possible. Yours very truly, E. M. Btsnscn. The next, and second from last, message is a family affair, due somewhat to another West Night romance. Robert Brodbeck, Editor of the Ecno in 1930, whose brother, Paul Brodbeclc, was also graduated in 1930, married his Associate Editor, Lucille C. Schaible, whose sister, Edith Schaible, was Associate Editor of the Annual in 1918. That sounds rather complicated, but nevertheless here is the message from the family: Congratulations to the staff ofthe Ee:-to and graduates of 1935. Those of us who were members ofthe staffs of '18 and '30 made an earnest endeavor to enrich the traditions of West Night. The completion of your task marks another milestone in your lives and in this tradi- tion and trust which you have carried on. MR. AND Mus. ROBERT J. Bnommctc. PAUL Bnomaacic AND EDITH Sci-mists. Last, but not least, we come to the Class of 1931 which is so ably marked Pres- sent by the appearance of Mel Heidelman on the scene. Mel was Editor of the Ecrio in 1931 and at present is a sports Writer for the Cincinnati Timex-Star. Con- cluding our correspondence reunion, he writes: You are to be congratulated, Seniors, members of the Class of 1935. Your battles with Chaucer, Caesar, and Cicero are ended and y0u've won. Greater battles, however, will follow. I trust the experience you gained at West Night has prepared you for them. I predict further triumphs, and to you, as victors, will belong the spoils-a richer and more joyous life. Sincerely, Mat. I-Ia1m11.MAN. I9
