Senior activities will be over when
the last issue of the Corner Is read.
Much has teen determined In this
our last year Of school. We have
made friends whose influence will
follow us for years to come. We
cannot remove this influence with
out the aid Of time. Some impress
sions will remain forever. Close as
sociation Of school friends has taught
US something Of the real meaning Of
friendship. We cannot realize Its
full significance; that will come in
later years.
Our school memories will grow
dearer to us as time goes on. Their
full value may never be fully appre-
ciated by some Of us, but we shall
look back with pleasure on our
school days.
We are sorry to leave our class
mates and the old familiar scenea
No other institution will be home to
US. We are proud and happy to say
that no other school shall hold the
place in our lives as does old R.H.s.
We are leaving our high school
with scholarships and by these our
futures will largely be shaped. How
ever, We shall remain true to our
high school traditions and aims. We
earnestly desire to thank the friends
Of the school Tor their hearty sup
port. Our success is due. in great
measure, to them.
