Sailors, each one of us—eager, Wind and the water we love— What if the storms gather ’round us If we have that hope up above? Each of us has his own sailboat Shaped by his careful hand, Hoping it weathers the tempest Sailing away from the land. What if the storms may beset us? We have our Faith and dreams. May the Future hold all we’ve expected. May Life be all it now seems. Hurry and pull up the anchor. Set a true course, each one; And have courage whatever befalls you--The Voyage of Life has begun! —ERIKA HEVDER

Tin: Senior Year Book — 1938 {ImritontB Aitftrfsa Citizens of Westerly, friends of the graduating class, and affiliates of the Westerly High School: We, the Class of 1938, extend to you a most hearty welcome and hope that you will enjoy this our final evening of merriment as members of the student body of Westerly High. To the taxpayers of our town: We extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation for this beautiful new edifice which we proudly leave as its first graduating class. Prior to this year, the high school students were hampered by poorly lighted rooms, a small assembly hall, the lack of a gymnasium, and several other defects of the old building. But now, through your thoughtful consideration, we have modern classrooms, a spacious gymnasium, an attractive reference library, as well as numerous other equally important features. Thus we have the opportunity to prepare ourselves more thoroughly for the many difficult problems of life, which we will inevitably meet at some time in the years to come. To our beloved teachers whom we have worked with during our high school careers, we wish to express our deepest gratitude, and hope that you, the members of the faculty, will not look back upon “38 as a class on which your time was wasted. Through the past three years you have worked diligently, undaunted by our cra-niums which at times seemed impervious to knowledge. In addition to the regular classes you have spent much of your own personal time in instructing and preparing us for the various phases of business, trade, or college, work we intend to enter. For all of these benefits, citizens and teachers, we again express our unfeigned thankfulness. After this week of graduation we shall separate and pursue our different courses in life, but, whatever way we take, we feel certain that the memories of the high school, its ideals, and the spirit of the class of ’38 will remain with us forevermore. —ROBERT CLARKE. 8 )8»—
