from the schools of the nation. Hitherto we were washed from one side of the bowl to the other, but now our paths become well-defined. With our advantages we must assume the responsibility of honorable citizenship-cit- izenship that in these times of nation-wide de- mand for honesty and stamina, shall be able to fight for a purer public life-citizenship that shall stand undaunted in the universal light-citizenship that shall hasten on the prac- tical Brotherhood of Man. Class of 1911, at last we have emerged, in an untainted state, from God's little melting pot, the High School of Canton, but we are in such a condition that now we enter the big Crucible of God, where heat the activities and questions of the nation. VVe have emerged with KNGWLEDGE FOR SERVICE- service for fellow-men, we have emerged with A MAN'S MEASURE in 'view of the DAVVN of a great Tomorrow. We have emerged with the memory of the past and with hope for the future. The paths of our future life shall never lead us to the joys and delightful sorrows of our past, shall never bring us back to the days of our blissful youth when innocent hilarity was re- placed by no other care than study. As we look back, the memory of class rivalries and dissensions brings the blush of pride to our cheeks: but on this memorable evening: these thoughts should but tie us closer in realization of our final harmonious departure. Perhaps this is the last time we shall be together, after countless days of merry companionship-days that are lost for- ever to everything but to fond memories. They may have been tinged with slight stains of sorrow, but still they are the happiest part of our lives. If we consider ourselves actors on the stage of life, we surely must reailze the minor part we have played. VVe were hidden from the view of the audience, only being heard as we carelessly tripped over the stage setting between the scenes. How we longed for a share of the applause that was being of- fered the principal players! At that time we tremblingly became aware of our subordinate position, and of the uphill climb before us. Then the thought of being advanced to a higher rank cheered us on. We knew that all the world is but a stage where every man must play his part and we strove for the stellar roles. The glare of the footlights seemed to be leagues away as we hurriedly shifted the sceneryg but we labored on with hope. Yes, we emerge from the crucible with a spirited feeling of youthful hope. A few would gladly lift the veil of the future and wonderingly peep ahead. But would we de- feat the purpose of life? Life may not be a pleasant thing, but it can be made a noble thing. No two people solve the riddle of life in exactly the same way. If weakness overtake us at the roadside, hope will drive us ahead and no matter if we have failed at the end of our course, we can pronounce those words of cheer- NVe tried. XYe are better prepared than those who have not had our opportunities, and knowing this we should feel courageous in our fare- well. Farewell to the faithful furnace which we should forever recall with a feeling of pride-hearty pride for Canton High, and all of its associationsg farewell to the furnace tenders to whom, after all, we owe eternal gratitude for the strength, magnificence and power of the finished product, the Class of 1911. But ah! The fiame beneath the pot burns low-wavers farewell-Hickers good- night-and goes out. PHILIP L. ROSENTPIAL. I .L . ' 5NlYIl' ' ut 1 s 1 ll. - 1
