TO ft3i'T'ie? B J mr Qt E 5 Ong sw- ,f 'al Gif' , C 5 if lille, THE CLASS OF '08 ELOVED GRADUATES: It is with a feeling of regret that l pen a few words of farewell to you. You, as a class, have come more nearly ex- pressing my ideals of what a class should be than has any other group of students. You have not only averaged high in scholarship thru your four years of work, but you have by large majorities always stood for the best things in school. You have left a trail of memorials as you have passed from verdant freshmen to worthy seniors. Each one of these reflects your appreciation of the school and the ideals for which you want the school to stand. E It has been a pleasure and a delight for me to lead you. l do not recall a single instance when you have not responded with a beautiful spirit to my requests. l do recall many instances when you have stood behind me in my work and assisted me in the way that meant much to me and the school. This last year has not been an easy one. lt has been in many respects the most difficult one in my experience. Your helpfulness, your spirit, your confidence in the school and its faculty have in no small measure helped to bring us out to a satisfactory and victorious close. With these thoughts in mind, I sincerely regret to let you go. Yet, when l think of what you have done and of the work that you have yet to do to lit you for taking part in the great world's work, l gladly tal-re each of you by the hand and bid you God Speed. A school can be judged truly only by its graduates. The Central High must stand or fall by what is to be found in you as you are. The price which the city has paid for your training must be less than what you are worth to the city or the invest- ment is a failure. Page seven
