the seniors that it will be up to
them to preserve America’s free-
dom against the forces of enslave-
ment.
As a traditional parting gesture,
the seniors presented a modern
bulletin board with overhead light
as their gift to the new high
school building now under con-
struction. The class gift was pre-
sested by H. B. Emery, Jr.
This year’s commencement, the
last to be held in the new “old
high school,” had an unusual touch
with the attendance of 12 mem-
bers of the first class to be grad-
uated in the same auditorium 29
years ago.
Guests of honor, the 12, accom-
panied by their superintendent,
A. V. Peterson, were seated in a
special section opposite the class
of 44 seniors of this year.
Wilson Is Spokesman
Attorney Glenn Wilson, a mem-
ber of the honored class, served
as its spokesman and introduced
those who were present and en-
gaged briefly in reminiscing about
class members of 1923
The 12 who attended out of the
’23 class were Bas Gist, Mr. and
Mrs. Tony Fenoglio, Mrs. B. H.
Gibbons, twin of Mrs. Fenoglio.
Wade Bond, Mrs. Bob Storey, Wil
ton Weeks, Mrs. Wallace Alexan-
der of Bonham (daughter of Supt.
Peterson), Iva Evans of Burkbur-
nett, Mrs. R. B. Elkins of Nocona,
Mrs.'’William Gruen of Jacksboro,
and Wilson.
Dr. Boren told the class mem-
bers that they must learn to have
their own convictions and that
they must stand by them and
“not be influenced by wrong per-
sons. Always remember,
he as-
serted,
that propaganda is not
♦ruth and ever be on the alert
for propaganda, especially that of
communism.
Hates Enslavement
“The forces of communism are
attempting to enslave the world.

over Japan they would hold the
balance of power in the world
