eniors JUNIOR IOLFER Sweet Home, Oregon Small but mighty, good character, a zealous Christian, amiable, en- joys sports. 'Politeness cost so little and yields so much.' CLASS PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We, the class of '54, have completed four years of high school work. God has shown himself to us in many ways during this year. One of His my- sterious ways was manifested in the drowning of three of our classmates while we were on our Senior Class Trip. This was a sad experience for all of us but we know that God had a reason for allowing this to happen. It made each of us realize that we must be ready to go at any time. Our tra- gedy has drawn us all closer to our Lord. We, as a class, have had many inspiring and good times together which brought us closer to each other. As we look back over our years of high school, we have many precious memories. We will enjoy these memories in the years ahead. We wish to thank our class sponsor, Sister Swartzentruber, for her faithful guidance throughout the year. The future holds many different things for us. Some of our group will enter college, some will go into voluntary service and l-I work, and others will enter occupations that may become their life work. Whatever we do we realize that if we always stay by God's guidance, we will always have a testimony for our Lord which the world can see by the way we live. lay each of us work for the Lord and bring others to Christ ,that to- gether we may join the Lord and our classmates in heaven.
