"W e finish, but to begin again".
This is the class motto of th>
class of ’3» of the local high school.
And how true that is these young
people will soon learn when they
start trying to find something to do

tic Achievement has been won by
Miss
Norma Jean Wert*, Trail,
valedictorian of the class of 1939,
Centrai point High School.
She will receive an engrossed
parchment certificate upon gradua­
tion.
The Reader's Digest confers this
annual award as encouragement to
young men and women throughout
the nation who, by their scholastic
achievement, give promise of grow­
ing into leadership in their com­
munities.
Principals of progressive prepara­
tory and high schools increasingly
advocate an Interest among students
in the most significant articles
which appear in current magazines.
Thetr belief is that vital contact
with the living, quickening thought
of our day is essential to education,
both before and after graduation.
As one principal expressed this
thought in a letter to The Reader's
Digest, "Your award and your
magazine appeal to me as a way to
keep our best students in the mental
vanguard through
the difficult
transition front school to society at
large."
Our own local educators are
among the progressives of the na-
tiou who use this method of relat­
ing text material in magazines to
current modern life. It is their
broad-minded foresight which has
made it possible for our students to
compete for The Reader's Digest
Award.
