During the depression years, many needed repairs on school buildings were deferred with the result that dur- ing the next year some rather extensive repairs must be made. In the Hurd School, it will be necessary to install a new heating system and it will not be long before the heating conditions at the Warren School will have to be remedied. During the coming year many of the ceilings in the Greenwood School will have to be replaced and fire walls will have to be erected in both the Lincoln and the Warren Schools.

CLASS SONG
OUR ALMA MATER We pause upon the threshold wide Of Life's great open door, To wonder who will greet us now- What future there's in store.
We bless thee, Alma Mater, dear, Four years we've looked to thee For wisdom and experience, And friendships e'er to be.
Heads high and hearts aglow with hope, Through that fair door we mill To win in Life's new venture? Yes! "We Can, We Shall, We Will."
Words by Jane Behnke, '39 and Dorothy L. Fanck, '39
