eninr Zliarewnll Three years and several months ago, our parents sent forth to Butler High School a new class, saturated in ignorance and dedicated to the proposition that all people should receive an education. Now we are engaged in our last year's work, testing whether that class or any class, so conceived and so dedicated, can reach the goal. We are met at the successful conclusion of that year. We have come to reflect upon. a portion of that time that you, the under-classmen, 1nay honor those of us who here worked and struggled that this class might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that you should do this. But, in a larger sense, you cannot sufficiently appreciate, you canno-t commemor- ate, you cannot honor this class. The brave ones, present and gone, who struggled here have commemorated it far above your poor power to add or detract. This school will find little note, nor long remember what you say here, but it can never -forget what we did here. 1 ' A It is for you, the remaining pupils, to be here dedicated to the unfinished work which we, who fought here, have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for you to be here dedicated to the great -task remaining before you that from we honored ones now departing, you take increased devotion to that cause for which we gave our last full measure of devotion, that you were highly resolved that this class shall not have striven in vain, and that this faculty, under God, shall have a new birth of freedomg and that this government, of the students, by the students, and for the students, shall not perish from the school. Vlith apologies to Mr. Lincoln. . , EDITH WALKER '18. - We, the Seniors almost frantic Our importance most gigantic, Though our teachers in hard work steep us In fun and frolic We often keep us. Senior stunts are always cunning, - Senior girls are all most stunning, Senior books are oft neglected, Seniors do the unexpected. VVhen Commencement time draws nearer Then to us our school grows dearer, Yet there'd be much less of grieving VVere it not for Senior's leaving. -PEARL WALKER '18, Twenty ,l
