Swv ' i I X. fflltnentpffliijtee HOSE of you who remember the episodes in the Tale of Two Cities recall most vividly the dramatic sacrifice of Sidney Carton. The old crone who clicked off his number was wholly unaware of what really fell into the basket. The blade merely snuffed the cinder of futility and aimlessness which had made his life a murky flame and revealed that incandescent, expiring flare which finally suffused his spirit. Within a few short, staggering, breathless hours came the fruition of all the nobility of his nature and then-'4Twenty-three. 1 You Twenty-threesu are confronted by a world whose present state is not unlike that described in the opening lines of the Tale of Two Cities. You will be confronted with similar perplexities. You will have the choice between shut- ting your eyes to what surrounds you and dozing off into the dream-life of pleasure, or, bravely and sturdily fronting open-eyed what challenges your spirit. Your greatest effort will no more than suffice. Your clearest thinking will be none too illuminating. Your faith and hope will falter at times. But as long as you continue to strive you need not be diverted nor forever blocked. You may, for a time, be confused but you need not be confounded. It is not likely that any of you will be enmeshed in such a skein of dreadful circumstances as Sidney Carton, nor be called to such a dreadful proving, but, choosing worthily, laboring manfully, with abiding faith and resurgent hope, you may each and all come to a fulfillment worthy of 'A TWENTY-THREE. -Charles K. Chapman. 20

During these years we have worked and studied at Scott. They have been years of constant activity and of striving toward success. We have been under the pressure of an ever present desire to be a credit to Scott and her traditions and to uphold the school in all her activities. It is only natural therefore, that, as we leave, we should think for a moment of the achievements of our school and the impressions this great institution has made upon us. Scores of times we have watched our teams trot out upon the field, the floor, and the track to meet the best opponents the country could produce. We have watched them leave the city, going to every part of the United States to meet the nation's best. Always with the end of these contests has come a thrill of pride in the realization that no matter what the result the team had given their best and rarely has it been our lot to mourn defeat. Not alone in athletic competition has our school excelled. Our publications have gained an enviable place when compared with those of other schools and we are justly pleased with the praise which they have received from outside sources. - But, greater than all these things, of far more lasting and priceless value, are the friendships we have formed and the memories of our fellowship in work and play. These memories and these fellowships will always be a part of our lives, the most cherished gift of past days. Not only are our fellowships with members of the student body a valued possession but we shall always cherish what the faculty have given us, not only through their teaching, but even more through the personal and friendly touch outside of laboratory and of classroom. As we leave the dear old school, happy in the realization that there are others ready to take up the work which we have attempted to forward, we are moved by four emotions-Pride, Love, Gratitude and Determination-Pride in the accomplishments of our school, Love for the name which can command men to give their all that she may triumph, Gratitude for what she has given us, and Determination always to be a credit to our Alma Mater, Scott.
