Proud of our achievement in our sophomore and junior years, we entered our senior year determined to enhance our glory, and to excel all previous records, il possible. Since September, 1929, we have made our reputation by our various activities. ln athletics, we went out to win, we have always tried to accomplish all things that we set out to do, hoping that we might create a spirit of loyalty among all students. We are indeed proud ol our sponsor, Ward l.. Neel, and have endeavored to make his task easier and smoother by loyal cooperation. We also wish to acknowledge the many hours ol patience and perseverance spent by our sincere and intellectual instructors. We appreciate their kind devotion and interest which have led our ambitious class through the paths ol education. We can proudly say that their work has not been in vain, as numerous members oi this Class ol 1933 have attained high honors. Our members have played a large part in the guidance of our worthy Student Council, Kay Cees, and various other organizations. National l'lonor Society has been the aspiration oi many Seniors, who have been successful in attaining that goal. Many advances in education have been made during these four years ol which we should be proud. During our second term a new stadium was built and a new system of night athletics was inaugurated which was ol great advantage to all concerned. At this time, we realize the problems awaiting us after we pass through the doors of our beloved school . . . on graduation night, although we shall be happy in the thought that we have attained our goal, we shall also miss the many Friendships that we love and cherish here.

QUIVERIAN 1933 Page 9 ur Friends The l:aculty Their search for knowledge means a constant toil, That from the tides of wisdom they may glean Each drop by drop, a share of priceless oil To fill their lamps, a flame of silver sheen Lights up the world, and shows the way behind Where little children, hearty, fresh-faced youths Of every nation, every race and kind Are seeking for the everlasting truths. Tomorrow's leaders, future men of fame, They take today, to shape in destiny . . . To light the way, with wisdom's silver flame The path that leads to things that are to be, Of heart, and mind, and soul to give the best That youth may be successful in the quest. PERHAPS you too, have had fond aspirations to be a teacher some day. This wish may have arisen from a lofty desire for service or from a secret ambition to hear several dozen variously pitched voices saying, Good morning. But teaching is really a great lite. Just ask anyone who knowsl The administration of small doses of the amendments to the Constitution, flapjack recipes, nominative absolutes, typewriter keyboards, and quadratic equations only becomes a trifle complicated when the patients just insist on hiding under the table. lnstructors of today are no longer pictured as grim, bespectacled monsters. As a rule, they spend more of their hours outside of school at basketball games than in devising new methods of punishing gum-chewers. They all have their social gatherings, hobbies, friends and bright little homes somewhere in the city. l-lowever, there is no occupation devoid of drawbacks. The present financial conditions have shown no more respect for teachers than for the rest of the world. But cheer up, discouraged pedagoguesl This business of Technocracy will never concern the teaching profession. lmagine a cast-iron robot unfolding the mysteries ofshakespearian drama to some of our clever senior classesl Another year of mingled study, work, and play at Wyandotte draws to a close. The time has come for leave-taking, when every one looks kindly on familiar faces, though they may not have had entirely pleasant associations. Many of these faces are those of the teachers at Wyandotte. Some faces young, but others are lined with years and responsibilities. l lowever, they are wise and sympathetic as only the alder faces can be. Though we may have thought our teachers too strict or unfriendly at times, the end of the year brings us to the conclusion that they have not been only our instructors and helpers, but real friends, as well.

ouivsiemrsi 1933 Pagellp Junior Class Ervin Vickers Jack Carroll Helen Miller Mary Heeter Mr. John Tevis President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor EBSTER defines education as the systematic development and cultivation of the normal powers of intellect, Feeling, and conduct which renders them efficient in some particular form of living. V A study of this definition proves conclusively that education is not a mere routine of mathe- matics, language, and other forms of teaching, but also a systematic training of mind and body so that one may throughout life lcnow how to malce proper use of his talents. Education in this sense must develop our feelings for others and our conduct so that our enlightened sense of things may not flilee a two edged swordb be turned to dangerous use. It is manhood and womanhood that should be the First consideration in our struggle for education and they truly have made progress who have learned to analyze life and select from it only that which tends to promote good. Q With this thought in mind the junior class wishes to express its sincere appreciation and gratitude to its worthy sponsor, John Tevis, who has worlced hard to mal4e this year a success for us. The Junior Play, New Brooms, was supported bya deserving and well-selected group, and was one of the best plays given by a junior class for many years. The junior boys and girls were represented in all sports. Some ofthe outstanding players in the Field of athletics today at Wyandotte are juniors, who lor several years have been worlcing forthe welfare of their school. Our instructors have worl4ed hard in order that we may be better Fitted and prepared for the next step toward our goal and are always worlcing to improve our education. It is with pleasure that we loolc to the future to complete our worlc, and yet when shall we say our education is complete? The answer is never, Progress is ever going forward and only they become great men and women who constantly strive to learn more oi the great laws which govern all things and obey them, who in youth learned well to train their bodies to be ready servants ol their will and thereby perform all the tasks that come before them with ease and pleasure. l-lelen Miller, '34 an l l l i i i i l A e4J
