'Che SENIOR SICKLE 1922 EDITORIAL pf' 2 Hg S we pause to rummage through the pages of preceding annuals, we cannot help but notice the changes that have altered our i Z,Qi5'ifLi'yi high school life. The one that stands most in the foreground is the leek of ffcleee spirit end leads ue to believe whet the Alumni have often repeated, Your class does not have the li A 51 fighting spirit that ours did. This is very startling, but also very true. It not only is true of our class, but like a contagious disease, spreads until it effects every class in the school. The only way we can combat this evil, for it regretfully deserves this name, is through a highly developed sense of co-operation. It is a well recognized fact that harmony and co-operation is the only way a large organized body may hope to succeed. The time has come when we, the class of Twenty-two, cease to write the history of the school and yield the pen to our successors, and We wish that something might arouse in us that true friendship and interest in each other that would give way to an everlasting spirit of unity. Then we would confidently step forth into the world and receive all she has in store for us.

'Che SENIOR SICKLE 1922 CLASS POEM MEMORIES I dream of our dear old high school, Set back from the noisy street, Of the place where so often we'd meet The friends that had grown so dear. Our school books may all be forgotten, Forgotten, our toils and our tasks, But our smiles, I am sure, are but masks, When we think of the friends we have left. There were teachers with infinite knowledge, Whose ability none could surpass, Who strove for the good of the class, And who grieved when they saw us depart. I think of the boys in the class, The boys who were loyal and true, And fought for the White and the Blue, On field and in gym, as you know. And wonder as in fancy I see them, If,-'midst the world's tumult and strife,- As they fight in the battle of Life, Their successes more pleasure will bring them. I fancy the Girls' Pep Society, Will boost for the right and prove true, As it boosted the White and the Blue, With encouragement rare and good cheer. Devoted to Art were some of our girls, Melodious ,voices had others, I know, Who charm'd with their songs sweet and low, Such talents as these are indeed sure to please Pleasant it is once more to recall, Our three happy years spent in Adrian High, The gym, the assembly, the play ground nigh, And all the old haunts to memory dear. Again we shall meet and our friendships renew, My classmates, dear, in that beautiful Land, That God has preparld for our faithful band, Where sadness ne'er comes and joy is profound. -MARoARE'r'rA Harm
