Learn to hide aches with a smile, Nobody. is much interested anyway. Learn to avoid hasty remarks, They cause much of the world’s trouble,

And above all, Learn to smile; It pays!

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, A workman that needeth not be ashamed.”—II Timothy 2:15. —Glen Wisdom

May you be stimulated to go at whatever opportunities and difficulties life brings, and take satisfaction in meeting them with your best efforts.

May you recognize envy, intolerance, dishonesty, and self-pity in any disguise, and banish them from your thinking. —Cecelia Blair

We have almost completed a very successful year at Reardan High School. Materials taught were in hopes of preparing you for the richer and more educational world of tomorrow.

Graduates leaving will be missed very much, but to those that replace them, will undoubtedly do their best to receive an equivalent amount of an education.

And to all high school students, as well as the graduates remember, “that time waits for no man.” —Leigh Steele

Foot prints in the sands of time were never made by sitting down. —Walter Scott Johnson

When you are about to be graduated from high school, we “oldsters” are prone to send you forth with banalities. We commend you for many qualities which, actually, were bequeathed to you by your parents. We emphatically tell you that you have everything—youth, health, opportunities for education such as no generation before yours has been favored to receive, unlimited horizons in vocational and professional fields, a standard of living unique in this country.

If that is all we have impressed on you, we have treated you like eternal children; for we have stressed cobwebs, realistic while they endure but capable of dissolving into nothingness. You are becoming adults and cannot live forever in a shell of selfcenteredness. With adulthood comes an awareness that “No man is an island, entire of itself.” With that sensitiveness to the spiritual will come problems which cannot be solved alone by health and youth, by formal education, by gadgets unlimited, by a sure- fire system of personality development, by a pay check of magnificent proportions.

If, however, we have helped to give you that rare and priceless gift of spiritual peace and staunch faith in God’s goodness so that with the loss of material blessings you will not become cynical, then may we be humbly thankful. Then you will. Know true fortitude as the prophet Isaiah so simply and forcefully phrased it: “In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” —Elizabeth Raymer

With every word we say or anything we write, we are using one of the English or language skills. Maybe you will never enjoy English, but if | have helped you learn correct principles of grammar and introduced you to some good literature, | should count the school year a success.

One more word—make believe it is wonderful fun. Keep your imagination alive and you'll always be young in heart. —Mrs. Lola Spencer

Music affects.everyone to some extent. It may create moods of light-heartedness, suspense, gayety, tragedy, uneasiness, or serenity.

To that 80 per cent of the student-body who have participated: in music this year— may your interest and enthusiasm for music remain with you wherever you may go. It will make you better citizens and more appreciative of the finer things in life. —Mr. Spencer
