wr Fin cl e Siecle — January 1931 FIN DE SIECLE II is not solely because the present graduating class is the ninety-ninth to leave Harringer. representing the close of a century of classes, that the name Fin de Siecle has been chosen for this record of the jjeriod. On the surface it is hut a happy chronological occurrence. There lies a deeper significance than what is to lie found in mere numbers, in applying this name to the Harringer of today. It suggests a transition ix riod in the life of the school, the demise of the old and the birth of the new. At the mention of these words, we see Harringer undergoing an entirely new development, a definite indication of changing times. As one reaches the end of a | eriod of time, it is fitting to look hack over the past and to survey what has been wrought by those of yore. It is with pride that we think of the line of ninety-eight Harringer classes, which, by their high quality and splendid achievements, have placed the school in the ranks of the distinguished. We see their hand in public life, in daily contacts, and in teachers themselves in Harringer. Our hearts swell and we feel privileged to lx the ninety-ninth link of this glorious chain. Vet at this same time there is another mood to l e enjoyed. It is that of having had a share in sowing the seeds that will bear fruit in the days to come. While we may properly revere the |»ast. we must also turn our eyes to the future. This is perhaps the most important duly of those whose lot it is to bridge the span from one era to the next. 1 listorv is replete with new movements which were commenced at the close of one century and blossomed into full bloom in the earlv years of the following one. This, we feel, has been the challenge to the Class of January 1931. And it has not been unanswered. We have striven in every way to introduce the new and novel, the more worth while and the more pleasurable into the life of Harringer. 'flic success of this endeavor can in no way lx- measured at the moment. It is rather for those who succeed us to estimate it. Hut this we seek from our suc- cessors. leniency and fair trial to our efforts. We have made but a beginning in this work. May those who follow carry on until the true value shall be determined. As we pass from Harringer there is the feeling that we have in some small way attempted to repay for the great gifts that have been bestowed upon us. The count can never lx equalized, but it can ix lessened by the love and service of each graduating class. 8
