19 JANUS 24 CLASS O R A T I () N When we entered Westville Township High School, in nineteen hundred and twenty, we were just beginning to face a few of the difficulties of life. In the grades our courses were outlined for us but when we came here we had to decide definitely what course we wished to pursue. We wandered about the building as all green Presides do. trying to find which room to go to, and which class was next. It was hard for us to get a foot-bold, but we braved the hardships with a smile and were soon over our greenness. We went about our new work cheerfully. It was a gradual uphill battle, but we had come here with the determination to get an education. We were proud of the building with which the school board and patrons had tarnished us. and took an interest in the school and its activities. Now we are about to reap that which we have sown. We have been given the elementary principals of an education. It is now for us to decide whether or not we will proceed onward and obtain a higher education which will make us more able to compete with the trials and hardships of life, and more competent to discharge our duties. Those, who plan to continue their education will find that they will repeatedly receive advantage over the individual who chooses or is forced to stop his education before coming to, or during the four years in High School. ()n the other hand, some may prefer, or may be compelled to go to work now. Although they are not able to obtain any further education, they can earn a better living with their twelve years of learning, than those with less. We realize, to the fullest measure, that we have received the best our High School had to offer through the kindness of our families and friends and with sincere gratitude to them we turn toward the future. Let us hope that we will go about our life work smiling as we did these four years in High School. Let us hope that we will do all in our power to become dedesirable citizens and help make this country a better place in which to live. And so throughout the time that we are facing the problems and performing the duties of our daily lives, we should never lose sight of the fact that, as our class motto asserts. “Toil conquers all things. —John Hissong, ’24. ■ ■ ♦ Janus am 1; oldest of potentates; Forward 1 look, and backward, and below 1 count, as god of avenues and gates. The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads and drift the fields with snow. I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen ; My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow ; My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men. —LONG FPL LOW. iinn;imrinuui iimiiiiiiHiiiHMUHiKininiiiiiUiimiiMiimr

19 24 JANUS CLASS WILL We, the undersigned class of 1924. having been declared by our faculty, who are letting us graduate, to be in a sound state of mind, and being fully aware of the uncertainty of life and the inevitability of eternity and being desirous of providing for a settlement of our earthly and cherished possessions, do hereby make our last will and testament : To the faculty, we leave our sympathy for the loss of such a wonderful and noble class, which has been to them a great help, but no trouble. To the Juniors, we leave a roll of adhesive tape to be plastered over their mouths to prevent their being ninth hour convicts when they become Seniors. To the Sophomores, we leave a candle which we hope the class will burn late many a night next year in an effort to bring their grades up to our standard. To the Freshmen, we will a can of black Jap-o-lac to cover up their greenness. To Mr. Collins, we will a blood hound to help him catch the High School thieves. To Miss Elder, we will an iron rod to be used, if needed, on the next Annual Staff. To Mr. Sutherd, a radio with which to entertain himself after he leaves the W. T. H. S. for his summer vacation. To Miss Fleming, a bottle of snake oil to relieve the tired feeling of which she complained so much after Senior play practice. To. Mr. Alison, a filing desk to keep all the papers which were never returned to the pupils. To Miss Cade, some cooking utensils for next year's cooking class to wear out. To Mrs. Grubb, a little bank to keep the pennies turned in for typing pads. To Miss Farmer, our singing voices to be used in semi-chorus and on the pupils of the assembly during the singing period. To Miss Dependahl, a new recipe lor cooking “weiners at the “hot dog” stand next year. The following individuals do bequeath such personal property as is herewith mentioned: Florence Adams: To Sherwood Blue, her seat in the first row of Senior chairs. To Julia Columbus, her curls.
