VOLUME 7 lIBDERLAND, TEXAS, 1'f.AY 221 1936 NUMBER 7

By Mabel

Hero we are graduates~ Our dream as Freshmen has at la.st been realized, distant as it seemed. We could not thon possibly see what effect the four years of training for life would havo upon our characters. Of course we expected to know moro of high school ways, to become more familiar with the class-rooms and teachers, but tho change in our innermost being wecould not foretell.

That we have grovm physically ono can easily see by comparing our Freshmen photographs with our Senior pictures in this edition of tho Announcer. But through tho compa.n­itJ:tlship of our classmates, we have grovm oven faster men­tally and spiritually. So while we have boon growing too big for the scats in our class rooms, wo have also been outgrowing our testbooks, witil tho time has arrived for our exodus from high school into college or out into the world.

So this will truly be Commencement for us all, whether wo continue our education or go out into tho work-a-day world and take our place as bread-winners. In either case, all are pledged to service. We trust that looking at the examples set for us by our teachers, our parents, and our friends, of splendid citizenship, high courage, real achie­vement

1 and integrity and progrossivonoss, we, too, shall

reo.ch the estate of manhood and womanhood prepared to do for others what you have done so well for us.

G J v t N J'vtw ·J In the language of the theaters

there are only two kinds of shows--- hits and flops, and the "Go-Getter" was cer­tainly not a flop. The play, a romantic farce, kept the audience on the qui vive from start to finish. There were good -characterization, ~lenty of excitement and surprises, and an unusually good plot.

It would be difficult to point out th ti t ti • e s ars s:r.nce each one played his part so admirably, but we do know that the performance of the "Go-Getter" vms a decided success--- literally a howling one--- and the Senior Class wish to thank all for their attention and assist­ance.

The lost of characters were: Don Esteban Pompo, Alcalde of Pagola---------
