. si -JELEIIIJTJ-IEC - Che Mid-winter Clase of 1915 PON January 14th, 1916, one of the smallest classes. ' ' physically speaking, in the history of the Eureka High School passed thru its portals forever. But with those Y gif sixteen graduates was carried no small portion of that inexplicable element known as energy. The Mid-VV inter Class of 1915-the first of its kind within the annals of our school-was extraordinarily essential in almost, if not every phase of school life. We are aware that these identical words have commemorated the graduation of classes from times immemorial but, nevertheless, we truly feel that never in any instance have they been more truthfully and fittingly applied than in the present. We earnestly believe that never before has a class of this size taken with them at their parting so much of what the E. H. S. is. In every branch of athletics, in the literary, dramatic and debating sphere, and even in the very hum and drum of school affairs, an aching void is felt-a void which by its very emptiness pleads for such another class as this. It was not our purpose here to quote class history, for the his- tory of this Class is written upon the very hearts of its comrades, nei- ther was it our purpose to offer condolence to those comrades, but we wish simply to express our acknowledgment of the debt we owe this Class-an expression to serve as a vote of thanks. In this spirit alone we offer these humble words of commendation. But, useless to say, though we commend we need not attempt to congratulate the Mid-Winter Class of 1916-for as they leave us and seek the world there sings within their hearts a hymn of calm melody impossible of imitation-a melody which vibrates in concord with the soft thrilling voice of their Alma Mater, Well done, good and faithful servantf' I4 ff s
