1’age Eighteen THE KEY Class Poem Last night as I sat by the fireside, A new thought came to me, Of the change that will take place in the future, Or just what our future will he. Ah, schoolmates, long have we waited, Looking forward to this day. But now that it is nearing. Sadness, not pleasure, holds sway. How do we know that in the future, Ever again will we see our friends— Our dear old classmates and teachers. To whom we must make amends, For many of yesterday’s follies, By tomorrow’s great success. On our way dropping seeds of kindness, That may glorify our A. II. S. But whatever our success in the future, Or what honors to us are due, A. II. S., our dear alma mater, We are deeply indebted to you. This is the parting of our good classmates Into paths to us unknown. With the past left far behind ns, With the deeds we must atone. The past is gone but not forgotten, Still there is no need to grieve. Misdeeds scattered ’long the wayside Undying effort will retrieve. A dreamer is hut a failure. Unless he is willing to strive, For that goal far into the future, As do the bees in the hive. You must be willing to sacrifice A 1 pleasures now and then, li you would he w hat you wish to be, Ilcao cd—by tongue and pen. Class History In the year of 1909 the members of the present Senior class began their school career with seventeen pupils under the instruction of .Miss Tinkham. There we endured the many hardships of first graders. .Next came the second grade under Miss Keep, then the other six grades under Miss Schoville, Miss Crain, Mrs. Utter and Mrs. Hubble, respectively. In the year 1917 we entered High School with the number of thirty-eight, six of whom were from the original seventeen. During that year twelve of our classmates left us and went to other schools. Thus it was that during the following three years that several of the students sailed away in the boat of Matrimony, while others entered, until our present class numbers twenty; four of whom belong to the original number. We sincerely hope that in all our school days we have conducted ourselves in such a way that A. 11. S. will be proud to claim us in the future.

An intelligent law, passed by intelligent people, but, it should apply with equal strictness over the state, and when one student at Bluffton and two at Decatur are granted diplomas in three years, why should that same favor be withheld from three Angola students of the ’21 elass. To the above mentioned students, namely, Nellie Coleman, Aileen Taylor and Bayne Morley that little high school sheepskin is a most desirable aiticle and no partiality should be shown by the state in the tendering of same, and it was a great disappointment to these three A. II. S. students when they learned that others had been favored who had finished the required studies under the same eondi tions as they had finished.
