The Class of 1912 is about to face a new set of conditions. No longer shall we obey the summons of the school bell. Our text books will soon be closed, not to be reopened and high school days will be over. Yet we shall not cease to be students. We are closing our geometries and histories to learn theorems in the greater geometry of life and to enact history in the conditions that surround us. We are only going “out of school life into Life’s school.” In this greater school, as in the one just completed, we shall succeed or fail in proportion to the effort we make and the ideals we set before ourselves. There will be those who succeed; there will also be the “hunkers.” Which each shall be rests with himself. But our best efforts will avail us nothing unless we direct them toward the attainment of some definite purpose. “They build too low who build beneath the stars.” While our positions after leaving school must inevitably be very unlike, yet to all of us is given the one great equal chance—to aim not lower than the stars. Indeed, we can do more, we can labor toward the accomplishment of that aim. And he cannot be a failure who earnestly strives to attain a high ideal. The editors wish to thank the several members of the faculty, and all others, who have aided them in making this book a success. They are especially indebted to Miss Lilian Gold and Miss Mary S. Seymour, faculty members of the Staff, for valuable suggestions and criticisms. The Staff also desires to state its appreciation of the painstaking efforts of Mr. Becker, the Class photographer.
