OFFICERS Hbnry Delicate . . . . President James Allen . . . Vice-President Oscar Schmidt . . . . Secretary CLASS COLORS Green and White. CLASS MOTTO “We Can, Who Think We Can.” EDITORIAL. Each year the class of Hi 17 comes a little nearer the goal which the members of the class chose for themselves many years ago. Each school year the class gains more enthusiasm and approaches a little more closely to its ideals. We, the members, realize that youth is the beginning of life, and that it is the time for getting ideas to lie worked out in later years. So, through many strifes and struggles, we have never lost sight of our three greatest ambitions: tirst, to have at least one member become President of the United States; next, to excel every poet, not excluding the immortal Shakespeare; and last, but by no means least, to take up Mrs. Pankhurst’s great work. From present indications, we have every chance of realizing our ambitions. Nevertheless, occupied hourly though we are in doing our work to the best of our ability, we have never forgotten the social duties of a Junior class. And our youthful spirits are similar to those shown in the speech of a certain Senior: Miss Wilder fafter a particular trying day in German III.), “I can’t see why a big boy like you will jiersist in acting like a child!” Red (modestly), “I know I'm awful big, but I’m pretty young yet.” 22
