The VENTURE 31 woman have expanded, nearly to equal those of the business man, so, the knowledge of that meek little group of freshmen of the fall of 1923 has steadily grown into the extensive attainments of this proud and happy class of 1927. For four long years we climbed, step by step, remember- ing always that Labor conquers all , until now, 'tho yet only on the threshold of life, we have reached this goal, so earnestly sought. Superintendent of Schools, and Members of the Board of Education: It is to you, we realize, that much of our success is due. How patient you have been in encouraging us on this long, steep ascent to Commence- ment Day! And now, having reached our goal, and looking back over the way we have come, we see how much that encouragement has meant to us, and we wish to thank you for it and for the splendid oppor- tunities, due to your wise foresight, that we have enjoyed. We trust that in later years we may show you that your effort was not misplaced. Principal and Teachers: Our four years' course at Hallowell High, through which we have been so care- fully guided by your care, is coming to its close. We cannot leave these familiar scenes and faces without ex- pressing our sincere appreciation of your thoughtful efforts in our behalf. We shall ne'er turn the pages of Memory's book without each of you appearing vividly thereon. Again, as we gaze upon your faces, in its pages, we shall recall this day when we sadly bade you Farewell Schoolmates: We fling to you the torch which we have so successfully borne for the past few years. May you bear it onward, upward, ever- pressing forward to the goal which we have now attained, and ever bear- ing in mind the interests and the fair name of our school. Dear Classmates of 1927: The time has come when we must part, each to seek his place in a broader field. We have labored together through the years just past, have had our failures and our successes, and have made, we feel, a record of which we may be justly proud. In all ways we have endeavored to ful- fil faithfully the duties handed down to us by our predecessors, and, wher- ever possible, to do even more for our school. In the doing, we have shared triumphs and disappoint- ments, and have learned the value of cooperation. We shall never forget these days of high school life, with their fine comradeship. Their mem- ory will serve to urge us on to high- er endeavor. Nor shall we forget our motto, of which we have so often proven the truth and value. We know that, Labor conquers all. And now, Citizens and Friends, who have gathered here to see us take this last step of school life, we wish to thank you for your loyal sup- port of all our school activities. As spokesman for the class of 1927, I bid you all Farewell, Dorothy Dawbin. ODE OF THE CLASS OF 1927 fTune of Auld Lang Synej I Upon this day at last we meet, Teachers and classmates dear, From Hallowell High School's halls we go, The parting hour is near. As we look back o'er school days bright, -Let not the ties be riven- We pray that Heaven may always bless Our class of '27. II At last we come to say farewell To friends we'll meet no more, For we shall never meet again As we have met before. The hour to part at last has come, Our thoughts dwell on the past, Fond memories would keep us here, But friends, farewell at last. V. Hescock, '27.
