Did we get flzcrc? IVCII, I guess! Seniors, Swziors, C. H. 5.1 Yes, we had passed that initiative period of High School life where tears were the soothing ointment for a tro-ubled heart, we had banished that sophomoric impression that the ideal man was one who dressed foppishly, entertained lady friends lavishly, Hunked reg- ularly, smoked cigarets conventionally, shot pool recklessly, ignored clamoring newsboys carelessly, ridiculed street-car conductors knowingly, and cussed town officials elo- quently, we had awakened from that peace- ful sleep, full of sweet dreams but void of accomplishments, characteristic of the Junior, we became Seniors. Trained with a broad and liberal education, we soon realized the follies of our younger days. On the wings of thought and con- templation we were carried high and placed on the pinnacle of discretion. From there, now, we look down upon the field of life. Here, side by side, lie a meadow filled with life's beauties and pleasures and a dense for- est, darkened with its toils and hardships. The meadow terminates in an infinite ex- panse of beautiful garden abounding in the joys of eternity, but the edge of the forest precipitates into a bottomless chasm of de- struction. As we view it all, we read its lesson, we make a resolution: No, we will not waste the buoyancy of those first few years of our lives by the care- less expenditure of talents and opportunities to encounter in the infirmity of old age a dense thicket of trials and sorrows through which with difficulty we struggled only to meet the grave. Rather, armed with the spirit of youth, and the strength of early manhood, we will meet first that forest of disappointments and trials, and, having suc- cessfully battled through it all, live out the rest of our years in that peaceful meadow filled with earth's gladness and beauty, out of which we may one day step into the gar- den of perpetual joys. The Class of l9ll, has done very little that is noteworthy in the history of our scho-ol. Conditions must be favorable for grandstand plays. One thing, however, has made her famous-the development of an in. domitable spirit. Struggling against mighty odds in almost every phase of her life, she has managed ever to keep her head above water, and though, as has been said, nothing spectacular has been accomplished, a class of greater credit to a school would be little short of an impossibility.
