Hjarehu'll to Farewell to dear old (i. J. 11. S. It is with a pang of regret that we utter these words, as memories of the good times we have bad together surge upon us. No more, alter that memorable night when we received our diplomas shall we all meet to talk our lessons and plan social affairs, to discuss Saturday's football game, or last night's basket ball. No more will the peal of that school bell call us to our classes.

And each one will endeavor to contribute something to this old world, so that it will be better for our having lived in it. —IIt'le'H Burkhalter.
