As a unit, the Class of 1925 is drawing near its end. The great chasm between Junior High and College we have bridged, as it were, in one tremendous moment. Yester- day, to our teachers and fellow-students we were children, today, in the sight of those same friends we are men and women, junior citizens of our great country. To some of us High School has been a pleasant hour -to be enjoyed, to others, a grind-factory, a place wherein to work and work, to tl1e rest of us, our four years have been years of work and play-the work neces- sarily coming first. Our history has been uneventful. VVe came, we saw, we conquered, or were conquered. As other classes have done in the past, and as others will do in the future, we did our bit, faithfully and unostentatiously. Some of us have met with ill-fortuneg others have achieved the acme of success. We have discovered that teachers are not hard task-masters, but really good pals after all. To our classmates, we wish good luck and happiness. But we would like to impress indelibly upon their minds that luck is not all. Remember our class motto, Qui contendit, 'vim-it. Work and endeavor must overcome luck and blind force. Our four years in High School are designed to fit our abilities to cope with new problems. It is true that we are not taught how to overcome every obstacle, ob- stacles must be met, and eventually reason must prevail over brute strength. To our classmates, then, strive and conquer! Keep as your goal perfection. You will never reach perfection, that cannot be hoped, but you surely can come within speaking distance. Comites, ave atque vale! ' To close at this point would be to leave out an obligation-that of thanking our teachers. We have found our teachers really good people, and not dreadful ogres to be obeyed through fear. Our debt to them we can never repay, but we shall at least carry into our daily lives the remembrance of the hours we have spent together. A thousand thanks! 19
