PRES. G. H. BRIMALL President Brimhall has indeed been a FRIEND and FATHER to us during the few brief but happy years that he has been our guide and inspiration thru High School. As we have endeav- ored to cUmb a Httle higher up the scale of intelligence and culture he has always freely given us counsel that we could not have received from any other source. We feel that we shall always be deeply indebted to him for the spiritual and intel- lectual gems that he has strewn in our lives. It is our sincere prayer that thru his coming years he may have that greatest of all joys which comes from realizing that he has been a BENEFACTOR to his fellowmen.

©i)os;e Wo Wf om Wt (©be iWucf) To our teachers who have helped and encouraged us to make the best use of our opportunities while at school. Your influence, dear teachers, has made us realize the necessity of an aim in life. We have been made to feel with the poet, Live for something, have a purpose. And that purpose keep in view. Sailing like a helmless vessel, Thou canst ne ' er to self be true, Half the wrecks that strew life ' s ocean. If a star had been their guide Might have now been rowing safely. But they drifted with the tide. May we as members of the class of 1912 H. S. show our sincere gratitude and appreciation to you our worthy teachers for your earnest, untiring efforts, by endeavoring to bless humanity as we go through life with that which you have so nobly helped us to gain.
