it turned out well. We gave our reception to the seniors, and it was certainly a great success. Everybody danced, even the boys who had never danced be- fore, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely, except perhaps the self-sacrificing girls who danced with some of the above mentioned. Then there came the presentation to our class of the school emblem, and with it we were brought forcibly to appreciate the fact that our last and greatest year at Hughes was approaching. The details of this truly magnificent Senior year, besides being treated else- where in the book, are too numerous and engrossing to be more than mentioned. In fact, these details, which, in other words, mean out-of-curriculum interests, were so numerous that I fear that our studies suffered somewhat. Still youth is but a fleeting thing, and we can study all our lives. Our parties, our dances, our athletic contests, our plays, all were so successful that we seemed to be the particular darlings of fortune. We have succeeded, and this I consider very worthy of commendationfin eliminating the rowdyish ill feeling which was wont to accompany all interscholastic games, and have substituted a loyal good sportsmanship. We have fostered and developed real school spirit, and in the spirit of the Athenian youth, we pray that we have left our school better than we found it. In this horrible world war which we have entered actively, our class and Hughes have done their share in the matter of recruits. And so in this brief space I have attempted to sum up, with no success at all, I fear, the most interesting moments of our days at Hughes. But the best history of our Hughes will be the life of each one of us. Let us pray that Hughes '17 will always stand for the highest ideals of life, that we will always love and honor our school, our city, and our nation. Then will our education at Hughes have been a suc- cess. N. M. S.. '17. 23--:Qi The Years to Come Future, be gracious to the sons of Hughes, Who trust to thee this precious book today. Guide them through college, life, and strife, and play, And then with generous fullness let them choose Each of the bounty that thou giv'st to use. Then open wide stern Occupation's way, Where each his debt sincerely shall thee pay Nor ask return, so shalt thou not refuse. Then shall the class of 17 aye stand, Bright in the light of well remembered fame, And in the years that pass shall Hughes revere And not forget the dwindling faithful band, Firm in a duty well performedg in name Glorious. departed from Old Hughes this year. -M.
