15 iiltm m» „ TO THE SENIORS Seniors today! Alumni tomorrow! I cannot see the members of the class of 1916 leave this high school without a word of appreciation for their spirit of loyalty and co-operation in everything we have undertaken during their Senior year. The spirit of any school is very largely determined by the spirit of the Senior Class. From the first week of the school year, when a f nv of your number, came before the school in assembly, and in a few words told the Freshmen what our school really is, and the ideals which are hers, to your Commencement week, not only have you most honorably upheld the traditions and high standards handed down to you from former classes, but the name of New Castle High reflects new lustre because of your attainments. What class can boast more honor students? When has more been done in oratory and debate? When has a class play been so well presented as was “As You Like It?” And the Monitor has this year been placed on a par with the best. Athletics, social activities, dramatics, scholarship,—all school activities have been placed on a higher plane because of your loyal cooperation, my friends. As we benefit by doing, so you have your reward in a wider experience, a broader outlook, a more complete preparation, and last, the appreciation of a grateful friend—your principal. I am happy to congratulate you on the completion of your high school course. Many are the lessons you have learned during your four years, but the ones of greatest value to you in the years to com , are the lessons of “hard work” and of “sticking to a task until it is completed.” If you will carry with you from this school these twro great lessons and apply them to the problems of life as they confront you, your future is assured. These are the results you have a right to expect in return for your four years spent in High School. They arc yours, if you have earned them, otherwise, your diploma will only mo:k you for the time wasted. Then, with a warm clasp of the hands, my friends, I wish you God’s speed. Strive ever to live to your best ideals. Keep your mind and body pure, your heart true, your soul noble. Keep as your guiding principle through life, your school motto:—NOTHING BUT THE BEST. J. L. THALMAN.
