May your high school memories be pleasant ones and your future days be filled with hap piness and success. Here’s a hand, also, to that brave little band of seniors who had the courage, af ter watching most of their class mates graduate, to return to school for the twelfth grade. May the rewards you reap through an other year of high school training be unlimited. Field Day Field Day has come and gone. As we look back, we can see that it was highly successful. Enthusi asm, cooperation, and sportsman ship were shown by both faculty and students. The school i whole is to be commended on fine response shown. Because of the success of this first attempt, next year a Field Day on a much larger scale will be planned. Lefs Give a Hand Commendation of the work done in the Music department, under the fine leadership of Paul Fry and Miss Worsham, and in the Dra- rnatic department, under the splen did direction of Miss Scarborough, is greatly deserved. The choral work of both boys and girls, the singing of the quar tets and solo voices, and the play ing of the school band and instri mental soloists are praiseworthy. The Dramatic department has sponsored two successful projects, the District Dramatic Festival of the state contest, and the A. H. S. Festival. Much progress has been made and favorable publicity has been brought to the school through these splendid projects.

I ™ Graduation For the seniors a day of joy mingled with sorrow is here—grad uation day! We are glad because we have reached the goal that has been before us these four years. Sorrow enters in, however, as we part from our teachers and friends whom we have learned to love. In our garden of memories we shall always treasure our high school days and friendships. Four years ago we entered high school as timid little freshmen, venturing into a new world of learning. Gradually we gained as surance, self-control, and self-con fidence. Along the way we have fought our battles. Perhaps we haven’t won every time, but we have learned to be good losers. Our desire for knowledge was strengthened as we worked faith fully toward our goal, graduation. Graduation isn’t the end, but ra.ther a beginning. Some of us will terminate our scholastic stu dies; others will continue in the quest for knowledge. The build ing process has just begun, and all through life we shall add to this foundation little by little, making -ir structure more firm and We shall part on graduation day, each of us to travel his chos en road in life, seeking to reach another goal. Let us go the determination to live our lives to the fullest and in the most beneficial way possible. L7?

Not only the two Journalistic clubs but also the members of the senior class are responsible for its publication. The literary editors were aided a great deal by Mary Katherine East, Frances Horton, Martha Morrow, Ins Almond, Pershing Garrett, and James Morgan. The business man ager had the assistance of Ann Parker, Gladys Efird, Jean Low der, Frances Henning, Carl Par ker, Sidney Gulledge, and James Morgan in soliciting advertise ments.
