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

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.

Our pocl4etbool4s were thin but our minds were cheerful as we contemplated the Sophomore year. Oh mel The results of the first six weelcs of labor were terrifying. Many a mourner remarlced, Oh, if this agony were only over and l had a job. A job, my friend, a job. You have a job that requires six hours a day, five days a weelc, and thirty-six weelcs of a year. The job of youth is attendance at school. True, school attendance is a law, but it is a law to which obedience is a privilege. As Virgil, the Latin poet said, l lappy is he that l4nows the cause of things. A good highschool education provides one with lcnowl- edge of the world. lndeed, schooling is most necessary. Investigation shows that three out of four have the same degree of success in college and life that they have in high school. There are many rungs in the ladder of success. The first is wise choice of vocation . . . a choice that talces into account natural interest and aptitude and that insures variety and chance of promotion. Other rungs are character traits, perseverance, which enables one to carry on successfully a chosen undertaking, industry, which keeps one plugging away, day after day, accuracy and thoroughness, which improve the taslc by disposing of minute details, and self confidence, which contributes much to social success and personal satisfaction. Our class numbering over seven hundred is composed of last year's students of the Junior l'ligh Schools and the Freshman class of Wyandotte. We have been fortunate in having Miss Lulu Mcffanles as our class sponsor. The officers chosen by the majority vote of the students are: l 'lomer Wilson, president, Robert Pierce, vice-president, Marjorie Simmons, secretary, Eldon Smith, treasurer. Marjorie Simmons, '35
