ACCEPTANCE OF LADDER 11 A PRISON FAHRNKOPF 07. iyj OST Honorable and Glorious Seniors: 1 come into vour presence fearing and trembling. Not love of duty, not a desire to gain honor, but hard luck causes ine to take this undesirable task of accepting this ladder. The members of the junior class, knowing of your reputation and greatness, feared to stand before you, and make a speech of acceptance. At first, we thought the speaker should be decided by lot, and was about to consult the angury of the buzzards when some one remarked that the speaker should have a firm foundation. On that issue, the question was decided. I wore two sizes larger than any competitor, and now the victim o| fortune stands here to greet you. A mighty class of Nought six you have a most appropriate name. The six applies to the number of members; to what the Nought applies we are in doubt. Perhaps, it is the value of your accomplishments. Perhaps, it signifies your pist intentions. Perhaps, it is only an abbreviation for naughty which charicter-izes your past conduct. Anyways, most learned ones, you are it. We do not envy you in your superior position. We are proud of the fact that you have more training than any other class that has graduated. You are about to graduate from a four year’s course, the first class to do so. You are simply a proof sheet, a sample copy, of what the school is going to do. The school board saw that your class was good and said, It is well. Now let us make more improvements, aud graduate a better class, the class of 1907. Learned seniors, your accomplishments will l e nothing as compared with what we shall do. One year from today when we grad nate you shall feel ashamed of your feeble efforts. Because of this fact, 1 am restrained from saying more. We, the class of juniors, wish you all success. Our true attitude towards you may be expressed in this one sentence. We shall miss you from the high school, and regret to see you leave. VALEDICTORY BERTHA A. ARCHER. NOTH KIt year of our school life is ended and today manv of us have attended school for the last time. We have often looked forward with pleasure towards this day, but now, when it has come, we find it to be a time of s id parting. Day after day we have met to work together. The associations we have formed can never be forgotten. They have not only b-en pleasant ones, but form an important part in the experience of each one ol us, and as such, will influence our later lives. In our past woik. we have laid the foundation, on which, if we choose, we may build a massive and lasting struct ure. Our career has but commenced, but with bright hopes for the future, aud the encouragement of our friends, we intend to make our lives worth while. We are only graduates in a small countrv town, but it is an established fact that the small town is the most fortunate location for the development of great minds. Examples of this truth are too numerous and too well known to need mention. Then too, no person has a better opportunity to rise in the world than the young high school graduate. With his fundamental knowledge, his exuberant hopes an I undaunted spirits, tlie.-e is null ing left him bjt to siez» the golden opportunity which the world is ever offering. We launch to night on the sea ot opportunity, and may the friends wli » have en couraged us, tile parents who hive denied themselves in our behalf, and the teachers and school board who have directed us, ever have came to be prou 1 of our efforts. d’lie events of thisday and of pastscho 1 days will b recalled with pleasure, perhaps with pri ft ?. after we have passed over many years of trials and troubles. Little incidents which occur daily, .and seem of little interest to us now will then linger fondlv in our memories. To-day with its trials and triumph's will be regard ed as a day worth remembering bv all of us.
