Not in Money But Ability to Serve
is True Measure; 1022 is
Held Notable Class
By Dewey Payne
To the President and members of
the Board of Education of Union
High School No. five; the superin
tendent and teachers of Union High
School No. five; and to the dear and
appreciative friends and parents here
gathered I extend the greetings of
the c I& es of 1922.
Class is Notable
The class of 1922 does not claim to
be the best class that has ever come
before you or that ever will come be
fore you but we wish to say that we
have done our best both in loyalty to
our school and laying the foundation
for our future lives. We do believe
that we are the most renowned class
that ever graduated from this build
ing for several reasons. First we are
the largest class to graduate from
this school, we are th esecond class
In which the number of boys exceeds
the number of girls, we are 13th
class to graduate from this building
and the first class to graduate from .
THE SENIOR MOTTO
Either find a path or make one
To the top of the highest hill
11 here the prize of toll awaits you
Tho you are ambitious still.
From there to higher mountains
You may wend your happy way
Or if the path was hard to climb
There you may rest or stay.
If you wish for some higher summit
You may start your path front there
But you'll never reach the top-most peak
Unless yon will do and dare.
As Frosh » e saw a range so high
As Sophomores it had seemed to grow
As Juniors we could faintly see
The distant paths where we must go.
At last we have attained one goal
Now that our Senior year Is thru
We see the summit glory-crowned
Out-lined against a sky of blue.
Tbs rocky slope Is clearly seen
That we must climb in future years
But we have tuned our hearts to win
Be It with laughter or with tears.
And now that we have marked one mile
Of the number we must tread
It will not be so hard to place
Each mile-stone we make on ahead
We must now say farewell to all
Those who have been our dearest friends
Before we’re hidden from their view
Behind the rocks that mark the bends.
Up the trail we must hurry now
And sot waste time In useless play.
May our trip along the path be far
When the twilight has fallen each day.
