The VENTURE 21 Each his own little niche Upbuilding, day by day. Although we'll meet no more As in the days of yore, Dear in our mem'ry stays Thoughts of our high school days. And as through life we go, Kind thoughts we'll oft bestow On those who paved our way With aid and help each day. We'll strive to finish well The labor we begin. Our life we'll always keep Free from all taint of sin. Second Verse Standing with reluctant feet, Where brook and river meet, We gaze at the further shore, Wond'ring what Fate has in store. fRepeat Chorus! Elizabeth Carey. SENIOR BANQUET The Class of 1928 was particularly fortunate in having the privilege of a class banquet, the first Senior Ban- quet for some years. This took place at the Worster, the evening of June 5th. The Superintendent, Board of Education, and Faculty were guests of the class on this occasion. The toasts were as follows: To our Girls, Ludger Lucasg To our Boys, Elizabeth Careyg Class Will, Raymond Miner 3 To our Ath- letes, Bernard Grant, To the Fac- ulty, Lawrence McKe1veyg To the School, Clarence Payson. The toasts were amusing, the menu was excellent, and the occasion a joyous one, long to be remembered. James Hayes, our class president, was toastmaster, and filled the posi- tion admirably.

20 The VENTURE our books, and step forward to reap our harvest. As we review the past four years of high and honest en- deavor, we find that there are many to Whom we owe a debt of gratitude for their loyalty and support. To you, Mr. Packard, and to the members of the Board of Education, we express our sincere thanks for your kind and patient interest in all our activities and for your share in our measure of success during the past four years. We realize today the worth of your untiring efforts and encouragement. We sincerely trust that this interest may have noteworthy and lasting effect on our future career. Principal and Teachers: It is to you that We wish particularly to ex- press our appreciation for the inter- est and fond hopes that you have so freely spent on each one of us. Through the four years that have elapsed since our entrance into the high school life, we have been in- structed and aided in the best pos- sible manner under your careful supervision. You have been very patient and have laid for us the foundation that is to make possible our future success. Undergraduates: We feel that it is now fitting to yield our places to you who are to go on with our work and endeavor to promote the welfare of Hallowell High. May you ever be mindful of the hopes and inter- ests that are centered in you and your success! Never break faith with those who are endeavoring to guide you steadily onwardg but aim to reach that goal the approach to which is so greatly strengthened by faith and confidence! With an eye ever open, A tongue that's not dumb And a heart that will never To sorrow succumb- You'll battle and conquer, Though thousands assail: How strong and how mighty Who never say fail! To the Class of 1928: It is for you, dear classmates, to realize that this day of days must loosen those bonds of friendship and intimacy which have thus far bound us so closely into one body. Together we have plodded on our way during the past four years with fondest hopes for our final Commencement Day. At last our hopes have been realized. We feel that we have faithfully and honestly bent our every effort to at- tain our goalg but now that we are prepared to close our books and take up the various courses of life, we cannot help but realize the presence of an inner feeling of sadness and regret that this day is to be our last as an integral part of dear old Hallo- well High. May we, nevertheless, be truly loyal, ever desirous of keeping sacred the memory of our high school days! To the Parents and Friends: In our book of gratitude much space will always be reserved for you who have proved so thoughtful and inter- ested in our success and in the prog- ress of our school. To some of you it may seem that your interest in us has been of no avail, but we sin- cerely trust that this may not prove to be the case. We wish, at this time, to make known to you our ap- preciation of the kindness that has so freely been ours during this period of preparatory work. As spokesman of the graduating class of 1928, I now bid you all Farewell, Ruth Treworgy. CLASS ODE Tune-- Among My Souvenirs' All things must have an end, The best of friends must part. It matters not how glad, Or burdened be the heart. Chorus And now, the time has come When each must go his way,

May 5th, the Bates Musical Clubs presented an excellent concert in City Hall under the auspices of the High School Athletic Association. The various classes have conducted a lunch counter during the last half of the school year, the proceeds of which went to the sweater fund. The Senior class, although the smallest in number, turned in the largest amount each week from this counter. ter.
