Class Day is a day to which we have long been looking forward with joyful anticipation, but not without some sad thoughts, for it marks the end of our happiest school days, and now we must look forward to higher things. This year has been made particularly happy by the special privi- leges granted us by Miss Fitch, for which we are deeply grateful, and of which we have tried to prove ourselves worthy. Our class motto, 4 4 Run the Straight Race,” has been the keynote of our en- deavors in the fulfillment of our resolution, and our school motto our constant inspiration. But while we look back with gratification to the year’s record, on which the Senior class has stood at the head every month, as it should, in both deportment and scholarship, we acknowledge that our race has not been run without some stumbling and faltering, and that while we have attained much, we might have attained more. So, on this day of farewell, we would ask you, paraphrasing Matthew Prior : 4 4 Be to our virtues very kind, Be to our faults a little blind.” HELEN DOUD. -Qy -O 1912’ s Parting Gift The class of 1912, conscious of the fact that the educational activ- ity of this school is soon to cease within these walls, that a new Annie
