THE PIONEER 13 “CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS To the class of 1900, greeting As we, the class of 1905, approach the clay of separation from the teachers and classmates we have known so long, we wish to say a few words of profound wisdom (?) to you who are to take our places in the rear seats and in advanced classes. First and foremost, no matter what anyone says against her, be loyal to your school, and may no voice be heard louder in her praise than yours, for remember that what little you know was learned within her doors. Second, never fail to give your entire energy and support to all the interests of the school, both study, and outside interests. Third, be considerate of the faculty, for they are always ready and glad to do all they can to help you, and when they resort to stern measures, rest assured that it is only because you have worn their patience to the breaking point. Fourth and lastly, remember that whatever you say or do, is sure to be copied by the younger members of the school, for in the small boy’s and girl’s ideas, what a Senior can do, he or she can do too. So strive to make yourselves as nearly as possible, examples for what High School Seniors should be. Yours with love and best wishes, The Class of 1905. J. W. GOTT, 3rd, Pres.
