CLASS OF 1935 (Hass ?nrm Hoary School: Mother a thousand times of adolescents; Filial sons and daughters Now quiescent; Quaternian years Of solitude, hope and fear. Eager expectation. Veiled tear. “Vales” profuse and Yet youth is not fain To depart So deep the cleaving of the twain. —Joseph Walthers. (Hass (0itp Tune: “Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms” 1 As the portals of school days behind us are closed. And our parts in Life’s drama we play, Let us firmly resolve that our best we will give To the problems presented each day— For with this as our motto and Hope in our hearts, As the story of Life is begun, God will guide us and aid us, when danger is near, And the goal of Success will be won. 2 For the problems of Life, like the problems of school, Must be studied and solved each in turn, And the errors we make, we must strive to correct, Thus, new problems to solve, we will learn. Learn to live and let live, learn of sorrow and joy, Learn the future to face, unafraid. Learn to love one another, as God has decreed, And our roles will be counted well played. —Cathryn Farrell.

The Senior Year Book — 1935 Jlrmiifnt’B Abirrea CITIZENS of Westerly, teachers, and students of the Westerly High School or embryo citizens—we, the Class of 1935, extend to you a most cordial welcome to our last evening of fun together, before we are numbered among the alumni of dear old W. H. S. We wish to thank you for your wonderful help in our school activities during the past three years. To our athletic teams in both defeat and victory you have been loyal. To our Senior Play, “Milestones,” some fourteen hundred of you gave your attendance, which made this play. I believe, one of the most successful, both financially and dramatically, ever staged by a graduating class. The same support was accorded the school concert which was given a few weeks ago. The taxes paid by the people of this town for the support of their public schools make it possible for Westerly to have a school system second to none in the State. For all these evidences of your interest in our education, we again express our appreciation. To our teachers we extend our most sincere thanks and congratulations for their patient and willing guidance which has led us through these turbulent years. Many of our number will continue their education in higher schools, colleges, and universities. Some will seek employment in business or in labor. But we hope that as you may follow our careers, you will see that we meet life’s problems in a way to make you feel that your investment in us was good. In order that you may become even better acquainted with our lives and careers, you will hear our class history, written by a noted historian, which will tell you of our progress; our will, drawn up by one of Westerly’s leading lawyers, which will show you our wisdom; our prophecy, which will give you a foretaste of our future; and our gifts, which will demonstrate our amazing ingenuity. Now up with the curtain, and we will proceed with our evening’s entertainment. —Donald Graham. — 5( 8 )►-
