As to her habits out of school it is best to refer you to her, or to her chum Mary B. Either one can tell you. Lawrence M. Whiting Commercial Course Lawrence is a quiet, unassum- ing fellow, but just the same he is a good sport. He is going to be our insurance dealer. If you have any questions about any insuranceelife insurance, fire in- surance or any other kind, just ask Lawrence. He can tell youg he knows them all.

THE OPTIMIST Valedictory Twelve years ago when we entered upon our educational career we little dreamed of the great war looming before us, and the great chaos arising from the struggle of warr.ing nations. Now the war is over, but in its wake follow Bolshevism, starvation, homelessness, unrest and many other changes wrought by the ruthless hand of War. As a result, great fields of reconstruction await the rising generation. We, my fellow classmates, are of this generation and upon us falls part of this work of reconstruction. To Superintendent Koontz, to the teachers and to the citizens of Titusville, we owe muchg they have trained and taught us and have done all in their power to Ht us for our new work. V Now we say farewell to Titusville High School. We shall always have tender memories of our Alma lVlater. But with our farewell to High School we greet a new world, the field of reconstruction and rebuilding. Erwin Fritts. Salutatory Tonight, after four years of High School experience and training, the Class of l923 graduates. Quite naturally the fact may come to mind that on this same night, or on nights lying within this im- mediate period of time, high school classes will graduate all over the American Continent, and in a sense pass on' from things elementary to those farther advanced. Against the background of this measureless activity we, as individuals, appear insignificant and small. But the Class of l923, in graduating tonight, stands as an integral part of this mass of other classes and in that respect is as important as each part of the whole must be. To those who have made possible our High School course we extend our sincere thanks, and in the name of the Class of l923, I extend a most cordial welcome to you all tonight. Paul H. Harris.
