Ylflllllli Some of Those We ve Loved and Lost Miss Hartloif sent this message Is not sincere interest and affection more significant than mere physical presence? If so then count me not among the lost Best wishes for the success of the Senior Class MARYLAND HARTLOFF Mr Millers day letter is characteristic Few things give me greater pleasure than to send greetings to the school of which I shall always feel myself to be a part Heartiest congratulations for your progress and spirit You are sure to carry on With best wishes HARLAN H MILLER Up from Texas came these llnes from Mr Bushman Returning the greeting' Not only missing your smiling faces but also the corn muffins which seem to be unknown in this section Bosse High may know that my heart is right for it makes my hair stand straight up and toes tingle to hear that again Bosse wins BUSHMAN Miss Mott Mr Fisher and Mr Staples sent the following novels and short stories October 14, 1926. Hello Bosse! I am keeping in touch with you through some of your students and teachers: and right now I am rejoicing with you at your splendid start in football. Keep it up Bosse! Be proud of your school. Your heritage is the best in Indiana. One more message-I miss my 1924-1926 basketball squads tremendously. Their good sportsmanship was a joy to me. I toast Bosse's success in scholarship, athletics, sportsmanship, and school loyalty. -ELSIE MOTT. October 14, 1926. Greetings to my Bosse friends, I was overwhelmed at the sweet sentiment contained in your -message. I am now at old Central, but I often think of dear old Bosse and her fine stu- dents and faculty. Your school has a great future under the able leadership of Professor Puckett and his cohorts. All hail! X X X fVic. Fisher, his markl. ' October 17, 1926. I hated to leave Bosse, but since I am just on the other side of town it will be easy for me to keep the friends I made there. A rule I like to follow is: Always wear a parachute while riding in your balloon of enthusiasm, so that you can break away at any time and land in new Helds of endeavor. So you will now find me giving all I can to Reitz in trying to make it a better school than Bosse. I want you to know that I feel very grateful to you students at Bosse for the lessons you taught this teacher. The lesson I shall remember longest is that a student's friendship is worth more than all the teaching methods in the profession. ' -M. L. STAPLES. And Miss Brown sent her message in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet. Wouldn't you know it? Thou has survived my well-contented day, And that churl, Absence, all my tracks has covered, But, if by fortune you could now survey The very heart of one whose memory hovered, The long year past, o'er halls that once were mine, There would you find what neither tongue nor pen, E'en finely molded word of prose or rhyme, May scatter to the eyes of casual men. Oh, then to Bosse let me give my thought: May thy fame grow in this thy present age, With loyal fairness be thy contests fought To win thy seat in victory's equipage. Seek out the best, nor on the hard work frown, Strive for your school, seek honor for your crown! -LOUISE C. BROWN. October 7.2, 1926. Bosse High School, 1 Bulldog Avenue, Evansville, Indiana. As one of the Loved and Lost I may say I do Love Bosse and often am Lost in a multi- tude of thoughts taking me back to her. Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, Chicago, Illinois. -HAROLD SPEARS. 19
