Though we must leave all that has been dear to us here-our teachers, our school, and our friends, we are happy in the memory of our years together in work and play. VVe are proud of the honor and name of our school. We rejoice in the accomplishment of tasks well done. Rich in the ideals we have learned here and inspired by ambition and enthusiasm, we are now going out to a new and greater field of work. With the zeal of the old explorers, and the spirit of our recent heroes of the air, let us go forward into new experience to strive, to seek, to lind, and not to yield. -FRANCES WELLS 10

Weigh anchor, come, we cannot, dare not stay: We sail again for dim, far-distant shores, To ports unknown again we ply our ours: Each man this time the Captain of his fate. Then farewell, mates, again we must be borne On Time's fast-flowing tide to drift: Cleams that untraueled world whose borders fade As on we sail: indeed, 'tis Cod's own gift, That we should ever sail on unafraid, Prepared for Life's unending, ceaseless storms. -LEWIS SCHLOSS 12
