At the door were Murray Cook, host, and Fred Thorpe, as president of the class, to receive us. We spent the time after the usual course of such events and it was in the small hours that we sat down to a sumptuous banquet. After having done justice to this, we heard speeches from various members of the class, and finally from Mr. H. R.

Everyone now rose in response to Murray Cook's toast to the class. Class Song Our high school days are o’er. All those joyous hours arc past; From their trials often sore We have emerged at last. For thee in years to come Each will his love express; And thy name and fame We will e’er maintain— Our class in A. II. S. The power that holds each heart Is a gem of worth untold, A bond that none can part. And as rare as any gold. When our high school days are past. And we strive to meet success. This link shall hind Whatever we lind And our class in A. II. S. Of the work done by our class We will not sound the praise; Rut until the very last We shall ever strive to raise. We’ve discovered that the trials Only come to bless. And that good or ill. We shall love it still— Our class in A. II. S. Though we feel a touch of sadness That our high school days are past. Yet the cloud is edged with gladness, In our memory they shall last. And we hope that Heaven may bless us, And lead us to success— And keep alive 1—9—1—a— Our class in A. II.
