Miss Enrinfs message O the Girls of ,l une '27, to whose loyalty and courtesy, high standards in athletics and in the class-roosm, and enthusiastic class spirit, their sponsor wishes to pay tribute. During months of sharing pleasures and problems, the 357 of us have been drawn together, until we have many friendships and happy memories to carry with us after June 1927. As we have worked and played and thought and argued together, we have all been students in the great Labora- tory of Life. Our work as class officers, as oflicers of school organizations, as committee members, the smallest service we have given school, class, or classmates, has been an experiment in which we have tried out our powers. Here we were able to do, and there we were not. So we have learned a little of how to read the sign-post which points to the Way in life that we must tread. Even the humblest is needed as an experimenter, because every one who uses just the talent given her, adds something to the knowledge the world most needs today-what the Human Spirit is capable of achieving. As we have loved our friends, learned to see the good in those we did not like, stood up straight in the face of the temptation to be less than honest, acted the good sportsman in defeat, and taken success as a challenge to better doing, we have tested out the formulas for growth in fineness and strength of the Spirit within us. We all know that the class-room has given us valuable information and showed us how to think out problems. To understand that School has also done that other thing for us, is to see that our lifeis plant has started growing and that, with tending, it will bear blossom and fruit. That every one of you, the last large class of girls to graduate from West Philadelphia High School, may grow into the good woman and good citizen we have tried to help you to be, is the wish of the friend who has found it a very great pleasure to work with you. .
