Cfass Song of IHaugftt £ igftt. By HELEN W. STEWART, ’08. We have worked long and hard this class of ours, And our efforts have not been in vain; Then greet with a cheer the class of this year, For the highest in life we’ll attain. Chorus: Hurrah for naught eight, the best of all; Hurrah for naught eight, may it never fall; Hurrah for the purple and the violet too; Hurrah for the teachers and classmates true. Each duty fulfilled, we’re fitted to tread The long path stretching on before; Be it thorns or flowers, success shall be ours, In striving for the right evermore. 5fie President’s Qddress By EDWARD C. GOLDCAMP, ’08. Beloved Classmates, as we stand to-day on the threshold of our com- mencement, we only begin to realize the step we are about to take. A step from the flowery path of our school life into the great dark world, from a place where we have had our way strewn with roses, to a place where grows the dreaded lemon tree. At times, to be sure, our work seemed difficult, our teachers cross, and our classmates unsociable, but as we now look back we can realize that those days were the happiest that we will ever ex- perience. We have come to the point in life where we can no longer lean on our dear parents, but where we must up and show the world our true worth. When we were in school this beloved country of ours regard- ed us as only a side issue of its great self, but in the future it will expect us to propagate its great doctrines of freedom, peace and unity. But how can we make our mark in the world? How can we follow in the foot steps of the heroes who have gone before? By simply heeding the advice and well ment warnings of our teachers and par- ents. They have been through the mill while we are only starting. But dear friends, I believe the success of this class is assured and I have a very good reason for think- ing this. As a class we have been successful in most of our undertak- ings, and have shown to each other

a true spirit of brotherly love and self sacrafice. One mistake, and one only did we make and that was in the selection of our class presi- dent. No doubt if the proper per- son had been selected the fame of this class would have extended much farther than it now does; but my dear classmates that class pres- ident, even though he be unworthy, will always remember with the greatest affection his companions, and he wishes to thank them for the cooperation and valuable assis- tance which they have rendered at all times. If we have succeeded as a class, we succeed individually, for is not this made up of individuals? Then when we are done with this life I hope we will all be received above by the Master with that salutation: “WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.” And now, representing this great class of ’08, I would thank, the Freshmen for their fear of us, the Sophomores for their love of us(?), the Juniors for their respect of us, our good teachers for the sacrafices they have made in helping us, and lastly our good superintendent for his kindly advice and just guid- ance. ellta Junior-Senior fKasquerade. By LONA BRAMMER, ’08. When in the course of human events it has ever become necessary for the editor of this section of a school annual to write an editorial corcerning a class reception, I would venture to say that none have had a more elaborately arranged social event to describe than the recept- ion tendered the Senior class by the Junior class at Berg’s Hall, Friday evening, May 1st. As the the invitations proclaimed it to be a mask party, the guests of both classes followed the directions; and as the Senior guests commenc- ed to arrive they were greeted by the Junior Ghosts and escorted to the dressing room. Beneath the entwinement of La- vender and Purple, the colors of ’08, and light blue and red, the colors of ’09, the grand march, ex- ecuted by those masked, was an im- posing spectacle. The accompany- ing orchestra of Beverly and Mat- hews, added greatly to the even- ning’s games, and an occasional draught from the punch-bowl only increased the enthusiasm of “Pig in Parlor” and “Skip to my Lou.” Numerous and comical were the mistakes made in regard to the partners for the evening. Although there were no disastrous results there were many incidents which afforded great pleasure for the on- lookers. The most serious of mis- takes were made by some promi- nent Seniors; one of which by the thirtieth century girl, who was
