we can remember no disagreeable quarrels. There has been no jealously, no rivalry, and that is something worth recalling' now as we are about to part. Like brothers and sisters we have worked together, sharing each other's dis- appointments as well as joys. Dear class mates, your cheerful disposition has done much to brighten our school life. As we now bid each other farewell, and pass out into life, let us remember to take some cheerfulness with us to help lighten our burdens. Hoping the perseverence you have shown in Hnishing' your course here, will help you to perform the tasks you meet later in life-I bid you all as a classmate farewell. C. E. S. '1913' 47

The night is dank, and I am far from home, Loud Thou me Ong Keep Thou mys feet: 1 do not ask to se-e The distant set-ue, one step euougrth for me. When the last rays of the setting sun flit across the sky, we look back upon the passing day, and our warm and sincere feelings of gratitude go out to those with whom we have spent these last happy hours. With you school mates, we have spent many happy hours and for these we wish to thank you. We have not tried to appear different from what we really are, and have never tried to be models for you. If you have suffered from our ex- ample, we are sorry, but we hope sincerely that it is not so. We wish you success in the continuation of your school work, but now, dear schoolmates, we must bid you farewell. To the class of 1914, we wish to express our appreciation for its kind interest in the Senior class and its work, in bidding you farewell pass on our senior- ship to you with our best wishes. The warmth and glow from the different rays of the sun are not the same, some are warmer and of a more glorious color, and so the gratitude we feel, when we look back upon the days spent at our Alma Mater, is warmer and deeper when we think of our teachers. Whenever we were puzzled or perplexed, we would go to you, and your kind advice was always willingly given. As we bid you farewell, dear teachers, we wish to thank you for all you have been to us while at school. Only a few short months ago we bade one of our dear teachers a last fare- well. We are now to bid each other farewell, but before we go, let us look back at the time we spent together at P. H. S. We have enjoyed school life, and we regret that we must say good-bye to it. Sometimes, and. perhaps too often, our pleasures would interfere with our workg but the one thing we can look upon with great joy is the strong ties of friendship that always existed between the different members of our class.

3 l L Prof, George Harold Weiss A teacher, who will always be gratefully remem- bered by his pupils. Years may pass, miles may separate us, or Death may intrude and put the cherished form to rest, but the memory of smiles and words of encouragement, incite- ments to duty that this faithful devoted teacher has given us, will live on in our hearts. Words and deeds of kindness long forgotten, shall he treasured in our memories--yes, they may even serve as an incentive toward hringing and urging us to right and light when, later in life, tempta- tion threatens to overwhelm or engulf us. He gives his liest years and services-this, alone as his reward: IPvlig'lit1'ul task! to rs-zu' thi- fL'llllt'I' thought.
