To the Class of 1918: You are about to enter upon the field of Self Reliance. Should you fall it would be no disgrace; but to lie there is disgrace. Many hours will be dark and gloomy; yet the sunny days shall so far exceed those hours that they will be forgotten forever. May your life be so spent that it shall bring honor and respect to the Ada High. Principal A. T. Sneeringer Ad Discipulos caros meos: Scio vos delectari quod Latine scripsirim. Saepe olim cum gaudio ad hanc paginam ven-ietis, cum voluptate legetis. Ego, vestri primae classis meae, saepe meminero. Una in terra ilia Gallia pugnavimus, una in foro Romano locuti sumus, una cum Aenea multa et magna aequora transumus. Et nunc ad finem venimus. Christus Dominus vestigia vestra regat, res secundae sint vestrae. Seniores valete, salvete Alumni. Quondam magistra, nunc et semper arnica. Maria Hickernell Adae, A. U. C. MMDCLXXI. To the Seniors of A. H. S. 1918: ,0U lave now come to the commencement which sig'nilies the finishing of your High School work. You are commencing life anew either to make the world better or worse for your presence. oui success, in the end, will not be measured in gold or silver but by the help and encouragement to others. May you always carry a cheerful attitude that others may be cheered by your smile. The little deeds done each day are among the many preparations for the beginning, for after all, life is only a commencement. Paul E. Sprang Ten

To The Class of 1918: I have had the opportunity of observing the progress of the Class of 1918, from the Freshman year to the present time, also of being one of its teachers during the past year. I have always found the members of this class good natured, courteous and full of good cheer. This class is also distinguished for its many accomplishments, its refinement and fine sense of loyalty and honor. The memories of this class will linger with me through the years to come. May your lives be an inspiration to others as they have been to me, and may success crown your efforts in life. Your teacher and friend, WILLIAM ADDISON STAGE Page Nine

To the Graduating Class of 1918: Thru the four long years of high school you have met many difficult problems as students and as athletes. You have cheered your class to victory and have gone down with it in defeat. As you step out upon the broad plane of future pleasures and difficulties no matter what your fate may be’ take the bitter with the sweet and fix your eye upon the distant goal—“Success”. J. T. Swearingen To the Senior Class of 1918: In this brief space 1 wish only to express my kindest regards and best wishes for the happiness and success of each member of the Senior Class. May this stanza from Oliver Wendell Holmes offer an incentive to broaden and strengthen your lives for the years which lie before you: Build thee more stately mansions. Oh my soul. As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last. Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast. Till thou at length are free. Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea! Katherine Hauschildt To the Senior Class of 1918: A world lies bleeding before you. To heal its war sore and to build its future more secure than its past should be a part of your life work. You have a part to play in a world task. Meet it with a firm hand and a clear brain. L. A.
