A Plea to the Sophomores Qilpologies to Mark Antoozyb Friends, schoolmates, Sophomores, lend us your ears, XVe come here to advise you, not to praise you. The evil that Sophs do lives after them, The good, too, is remembered when they rise, So shall it be with you. The noble Seniors Pray that you 'll always be ambitious, If you are so, 'twill be a glorious thing, And gloriously will you be then rewarded. Here, under leave of teachers, for our school VVe ask support from you for Gray and Blue. For teams try out-Sophs, be ambitious, all, Stand for fair play, like honourable men. You still have many lessons here to learn 5 Your records must the general average raise. WVe speak not to express our teachers' wishes, But here we are to speak what we know well. You all do love our school, not without cause: NVha.t cause withholds you, then, from hon'ring it? O Sophomores! Keep the name of Harrison clean, The Band support, our teams to victlry cheer. Our hearts a.re with the school that we must leave, And ltis for its dear sake we plead with you. -THE SENIORS. The Sophomores' Answer Four years ago there came into this school a new class, conceived in tolerance and dedicated to the proposition that all class rivalry should be on a friendly basis. Now we have come to a parting of ways, testing whether such friendships so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. NVe are met at the final parting with our friends. VVe herewith dedicate this farewell to you, who gave your best that this school might prosper. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we should not dedicate, we should not eulogize, we should not honor you alone. The loyal Alumni, living and dead, who studied here have like- wise brought honor to our school far above our poor power to add or detract. Our school will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they who have been graduated did here. It is for us, Sophomores, rather to be dedicated to our unfinished work. which you as Seniors have so nobly completed. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from you honored gradu- ates we take increased devotion to- that cause for which you gave full measure of devotion, that we all here mightily resolve that your studies shall not have been in vain, that graduation shall not be the end but the beginning, a new birth of endeavor, and that we all may continue to bring honor to ourselves and our school. -THE SOPHOMORES. 102
