THE HYAK l And we trust they 11 do their duty Sparing us those old-time yells. For that dignity we juniors Are very grateful, too. And if needful we can lx x it up And seal it in with glue. For we hate to put it on just now, We seem so very young; Well wait ’till we are seniors. But now, please let us have some fun. We’d love to have those ponies! They won’t do us any harm. And with Miss (jolay ' s kind permission Well erect a handsome barn. You left us slang and by-words— Where are your thoughts, my dears. To lead such gentle little lambs Into such wild and mad careers! Well always think of you, dear ones. As bright and shining lights: And our one aim will be to rival you. If wc dig ’till wee small hours of night. These feeble words, dear seniors. We feel what we would say Of our gratitude and thankfulness On this glad festive day. A Ju noR. — MEMENTOES. A wish-bone for Sara, for wisdom and pluek Not only in Chemistry may she have luck. A racket to Hilda, with darkest of loeks. May hers be the vantage, with gentlest of knocks. A pointer for “Cats,” if she gets caught in the dark Stroke the kitten’s fur backwards and still obtain sparks. To Winnifred, so tall and fair, A horse-shoe for luck and all that is rare. A butterfly for Ellen, so quiet and staid. But I doubt very much if she will he an old maid. THE FAREWELL .

16 THK HYAK We thank the trustees for the protection and interest they have given the school while we have been here. To you, Miss Port, and to our teachers, we owe many thanks for the pleasures and benefits received in so many ways. To you we owe a great debt of gratitude for having labored with great patience to tit us for the life that is before us. Whatever our future may be, whether we attend college, remain at ho me, or travel in foreign countries, we hope to profit by your noble examples and reach our highest goal in life— true womanhood. Again we thank you for all you have done for us. It is sad to say farewell to our friends, but it is especially hard to say good-bve to those who have become so dear to ms. Of all friendships, those formed at school are the dearest. In the future years we shall look back on the many occasions in which we have all participated with so much pleasure. And, classmates, the class of ’02 will never again meet as it has the past year. We will no longer be the seniors, but the freshmen of the world. As we go from the life of school into the school of life, let us ever keep before us the motto we have chosen, “Parcc Metu”— “Cast out Fear.” Mkllie Hi bbard. CLOSING RECITAL. PART FIRST.
