Y A' W' FOREWORD -:- -:- - . . . ......... . ..................................................... ......... . ....... - The happenings in the Yates Center High School for the year 1939 will soon be historical and we, the Arrow Staff, take this means to record them. In future years the memory of what we did here will perhaps be for us even more a source of pleasure than was our participating in the various school activities at the time. For the purpose of helping to make this true and for the sake of preserving those memories, we publish this bock. Its value, of course, will be enhanced with the passing of each school year and the enevitable separation from those who are so dear to us. ' Soon we will be in new places, doing new things, and making new friends. That is progress-that is life, but our sincere hope is that we will never forget the happy days we worked and played together in dear old Yates Center High School. The production of this book to record and hold your memories was made possi- ble by the contributions of the various merchants and business firms, by the work of Miss Trueblood and the art department, and by the efforts of the other teachers, and especially of Mr. Henry Horsch, our faculty sponsor, and Mrs. Horsch. To them we desire to express our appreciation. The Editors Page 3 1 l

Those are the familiar cries that echo along the confetti-filled halls on this great evening. 19: Whew! We didn't know there were so many people untill the country schools come to town and present a music Festival. A parade of rural school children and teachers led by Y. C. band marches around the square a little before noon. The parade is dissolved however when the firewhlstle screams and the fire truck whizzes by. It is certainly no small thrill that. trickles up and down the spine of all of us.
