High honors in the graduating class
90 to Gladys Croker who completed

The months have rapidly slipped by
and the first year in the high school
under the city system has closed. 1t
has been year of achievements, a
year which stamps the new system
with success. Though some difficult
les have arisen, as are apt to in every
institution, and may arise with the
opening of school in September, we
should remember that the spirit Of the
school should be upheld at all costs and
personal desires should ever be as a
secondary consideration. G.
