-1 YOUTH SPEAKS 'Q 3' a i '-'E 'S' ED1ToR's MESSAGE PRESIDENTS We have finally arrived at the split- ting-up point: now we go our hundred and Hfty-four different ways. Many of us will go on to a higher education: each will continue, in some way, to mature and to grow mentally: but I believe that no experiences in any of our lives will ever surpass the satisfying four years of our high school careers. We have studied and learned and broadened ourselves in many ways, but most important of all we have grown up. This is the reward for the work we have done and the dividend of the en- joyment we have had. We could not have made a better investment. This book has been a labor of love to all concerned and would have been im- possible without the tremendous job done by each member of the staff and without the invaluable help of our faculty adviser, Miss Rae Colson. My sincerest thanks to all these and to the members of the class for electing me to edit their yearbook. It has been an honor and a privilege. 4 .ff 'si 2 Q ' w X , l .- c hi , .Vp , :jf..4 4 , 'iw EAS Y l its - MESSAGE Our senior year, climaxed by Com- mencement week and graduation, leads us into a world that is full of responsi- bility, a world in which security is almost non-existent. The situation of interna- tional confusion makes it very apparent that the hope of the world of tomorrow lies in the youth of today. We are part of that hope. XVhen we are thrust into the world of today, be it into the field of higher learn- ing, into the business world, or into the service of our country, the way we act will depend in a large measure on the principles and ideals which were instilled in high school. Though we have grasped a part of the knowledge before us at W.H.S., we must remember that learning does not stop here. We must continue to learn with an ever greater effort, for to stop now would be to waste part of the knowledge we have acquired thus far. We must con- tinue learning to the day we die. Ours is not to waste on forgetfulness but to utilize in action. Wherever fate shall take us, whatever goal we shall strive toward, to all, the fondest memory will still be of our years here at W.H.S.
