EL 5'-'SUR-R0 Times to the Class of nineteen-Gen EGGS i Set adrift upon life's ocean, May your little craft sail straight- Through the billows rocky motion, Safe into the Golden Gate. Little craft, what bear you? What will be your answer, then- Answer proudly, answer loudly 'Tis the Class of Nineteen-Ten. Set adrift upon life's ocean, Who will be your Pilot there, Who will guide your vessel's courses, Through the wind, the rain, the air? Class of Nineteen-Ten, you're drifting With the ever-changing tide, Simply drifting from the harbor To the ocean, vast and wide. On the mast-head floats your pennant, With its Purple and its Gold- Bringing memories of High School ln the care-free days of old. Yet through all the long, long joumey, Waiteth silently afar, In some rocky, coral cavern, Spirit of the Harbor-Bar. And when all the journey's ended, And our ship is anchored-then We shall know, and bless the Spirit Ot the Class of Nineteen-Ten. Gladys E. Davies, 'I0. 21

SCAMMELL Air:-' 'Do A Love Thee P ESQ When to-night we part at last, From the Class of Nineteen-Ten, Maybe never more to meet Together on this earth again, May some guardian angel watch, Keeping us thru paths of life, Shielding us from unseen foes, Protecting us from cares and strife. When our work of.life is o'er, And we cease to toil and gain, May the gods of fate decree, That once more we meet againg Meet and renew the many ties, That our High School life has bound, And the Class of Nineteen-Ten In health and happiness abound. 20

El- SUSURR0 resenkation Speech E K Miss Gladys Davies was the successful competitor in the farce writing contest. Her farce, entitled Our Foot Ball Boys, was chosen by the judges because it was the one best suited to acting. On behalf of the Senior Class of 1910, I have the honor and great pleasure in presenting to Miss Gladys Davies this medal, which has been awarded her. I hope, Miss Davies, this medal will ever be a reminder of the efficient literary work you did in our old Monterey High School. Aufed W. Lee, '10. Elpe Tina On a rocky point, quite near the sea, A lonely pine tree stands, Tall, majestic, and stately. 'Ganist a background of water and land. - its roots, in rock imbeded firm, Will hold for many a year, They are faithfully serving their term, To the life of the old pine are dear. Then, by the ocean breezes, Which 'mong the breezes play, They become gnarled and knotted, And toward the inland sway. lts lower branches all decayed Are broken by wind and spray, While those above are hung with moss, Giving contrast in green and gray. This tree resisted many a storm, As we should resist temptation And be in life never forlorn, But strive for a firm foundation. M. A. O., 'l0. 22
