Class Poem—1918 The links that are forged in Friendship ' s chain Are strongest when they ' re forged in youth, Their lasting power will stand life ' s strain, Because they ' re formed from love and truth. Life ' s happiest hours are soonest past, Time in its restless flight moves on. The only thing in life that lasts Is memory of the joy that ' s gone. With joyous pace our clays move on. The weeks and months glide into years, Each hour a joy, each day a song With no regrets, no sighs, nor tears. But when commencement time draws near, A sense of fear weighs on each heart, Our eyes are dimmed with unshed tear, We dread the hour when we must part. It comes; our Normal days are done. We meet it with both joy and sorrow, Glad of the parchment we have won, Sad, for our parting comes tomorrow. The pain and sorrow of the hour Must find relief in forceful measure To know that time and place lack power To rob the store of memory ' s treasure. In years to come when we arc sad, Sitting and thinking all alone, Just take these records of the heart To play on Memory ' s (iraphophone. K. Clair McCann, ' 18. Page twenty

President ' s Address Farewell. At this time throughout the length and breadth of the world there is being said farewell by millions — perhaps not to be renewed until democracy is triumphant. Today the class of 1918 stands triumph ant, but in our achievements let us bear in mind that we are merely advancing on the first round of the ladder that is inclined for our success or failure. And as we assume the duties for which we have labored eagerly, we assume an obligation of moulding the minds of pupils to honesty of principles and to a rectitude of character which will make them worthy citizens. If we can do these things we will be rewarded by a satisfied mind which spells success. And I feel that if ever a class could accomplish this slogan, it is our class, the class of 1918. Dr. Hawkins and Members of the Faculty. In our two years of school life we acknowledge you as our staunchest friends. We owe you much and more than we can hope to repay. Your unselfish devotion to our welfare has been unfailing and we beg you to accept our deepest gratitude and best wishes for your succeeding years. Classmates. The day of joy and sorrow has come. We rejoice in the com- pletion of our school days and in the good fellowship that has prevailed through- out our two years of associations. As we depart from P. S. N. S. our sorrows will come as we bid farewell to one another, for we know full well that we may never meet again. But let us resolve to keep in mind the happy days of the class of 1918. In expression of our loyalty toward the school, the classes of 1918 and 1919 have combined in presenting to their Alma Mater the sun dial which now stands on the campus. The combination of the two classes in making this gift shows the splendid spirit of cooperation which has existed during our year of association. In parting let us be imbued with the conception of the usefulness of our gift and even as that records the march of time, so let our future actions be the sun dial of our lives, and let us so live that every moment it records will have been utilized to the utmost and leave us with a consciousness of work well done.
