BERNICE ALLEN They say we women like to he bossed; .just try it and see. HAYWARD BIGLER Come, let us go while we are in our prime; And take the harmless folly of our time. CLARA CAN HAM If she will, she will, and you may depend on’t, And if she won’t, she won’t and there’s an end on’t. JOHN ENGELMANN The thing that goes the farthest Towards making life worth while, That costs the least, and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile. 18

RAYMOND HATCHER Whoe’er excels in what we prize, Appears a hero in our eyes. MARY BEARD Think naught a triHe, tho’ it small appear; Small sands the mountain, mo- ments make the year, And trifles life. HENRY PARRISH Early to bed and early to rise And you miss the best part of the day. BUSSELL SNYDER I do know him by his height; He is a friend. 17

KIRBY KNOX All thing’s come to him who will but wait. History of Class 1921. Once more the year s cycle brings ns to the writing of a prophecy, will, and history. Once more a Senior Class quits the old A. T. II. S. to give place to another Senior Class. We can truthfully say that we are entitled to our diplomas, for we have earned them by persevering effort and hard work. Four years ago, we first met as a class with 20 members. Eight of the original ones and seventeen new additions now complete our number. We have lost some, who for diverse reasons were compelled to quit school. It is unfortunate for them to be obliged to be thus handicapped by their lack of education, and it is a loss to the class in the material they would have furnished for athletic and oratorical work. But, although we sustained serious lorses. our new recruits filled their places admirably. Through all four years we have worked for the best in- terests of the class and school without that objectionable factional strife which has been, unfortunately, a characteristic of some of our predecessors. Through all our high school life, we have had a class spirit that repre- sented the highest ideal of elevation and loyalty. We have worked for our class and school in social affairs and athletics; and in both acquitted ourselves with honor. We have produced stars in football, basketball and track. Our guests agree that we are royal entertainers. We have proven our mettle in the class- room and in later years our achievements will inspire brain wrecked students to new exertions. Our high school life has been full of pleasure, fun and profit. We have had good times that can never be forgotten. Football games, parties, scrimmages in the gym, and a host of unrelated events recur to us in confused sequence. May the history we have made in school be a precursor of the life we shall soon take up, and may we always look hack on our high school days with gratitude and satisfaction. 19 ARTHUR STOUT.
