Dear Juniors: Once again a class has attained that rank in scholarship that permits them to depart with Seals of the school’s approval. As we are thus departing, beloved Juniors, it is our duty as well as privilege to give you a brief warning of the dangers of divers sorts which will beset your path, through which we have thus far successfully passed; and to charge you, from our superior learning and greater experience, to profit by our shining example. In the first place, there is that dread disease which you must guard against if you would be suc- cessful, sometimes called constitutional physical lassitudiness, but more commonly known as laziness. Then there is that desire, which seizes so many, especially of those who sit in the rear seats and are known as Seniors, to throw something at an innocent dreamer. Then, there is also that tendency to talk to some one on the other side of the room, and so to do as to gain the attention of the entire room. Against all of these and many more temptations which will assail you as you take the places which we recently so capably filled, we warn you. Most important of all .we charge you, our successors, to uphold those high standards of scholarship and that consciousness of school spirit which we have thus far so nobly advanced; and not to permit the ideals set forth to be lowered one iota. Finally, laying aside all frivolity and every shadow of “ funniness,” we do earnestly entreat you to be loyal to G. H. S.; to be square in your interschool relationship that our school may be looked up to as the very epitome of justice and fellowship as well as an institution unexcelled in scholarship. HOWARD E. MATHER, Pres. Class ’15.
