(01t (Hamlin? A. P. We are the class of 1911, Down at old Analy High, We are the class that’s up and doing, We sure can make things fly, We who can boast of pink and green, We who to every one seem To be the class worth being in Down at Analy High. 0, Analy, we do love thee, But we’re through canning, We’re through jamming, We’re through everything like shamming, Oh, Analy we do love thee, But we’re going away, And we’ll have to stay, From dear old An-aly.

Presentation J peec!) Ernest Hansen As we are about to bid farewell to this school which has become so dear to us, we wish to leave something by which we may be remembered. The subject of our choice is a painting from the chivalrous life of the legendary period of English History. You have read the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and how these men had vowed to do deeds of righteousness. At one time the Holy Grail, which was supposed to have been the cup which our Savior used to dispense the wine at the Last Supper, was brought to England and there appeared under mysterious condi¬ tions to King Arthur and his knights. After a short time it suddenly vanished and thereupon the knights set out in a world wide search for the mystic vessel, but only one was successful. This was Sir Galahad who, although the youngest, was pure of heart, and it was only by living this pure life that he was successful in his quest. George Frederick Watts, an English painter of the nine¬ teenth century, was so impressed by the ideality of this person that he painted a picture which wondrously ex¬ presses the spotless purity of the knight. It is this pic¬ ture, “Sir Galahad,” that we have selected. Sir Galahad stands by the side of his snow white horse in an attitude of devotion, as if he had seen the heavenly vision through the forest shades. His spiritual face, most marvelously expressed by the painter, signifies that his We, therefore, to show our gratification to the teachers, mission is spiritual and not mortal. in part, and also to leave a remembrance of the graduating class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven, present to the An- aly Union High School the painting of this ideal youth, whose purity of thought, word and deed may, for years to come, be a constant memorial to stimulate the pupils to deeds of valor, purity and brotherly love.
