The Class of Ninety-three, like others before it, was obliged to submit to indignities innumerable, all of which, however, we bore with becoming patience. We have been imposed upon and have had our feelings- hurt more than once, yet we have borne it all without a murmur. VVe have been dubbed conspiratorsh, thieves, scoundrels, knaves, revolutionists and even anarchists, yet we opened not our mouths. We have suffered these and many other wrongs in silence, and, like Uriah Heep, we have been meek and 'umblef' But a change has taken place. The coveted sheepskin now hangs in each and every home and the time is ripe. For the first time in history of the High School, the students have risen in their might and determined upon a declaration of their independence. The story of our thraldom we have learned too well, nowflet it be submitted to a candid world. ' The die has been cast. We are slaves no longer. We are free and independent lordlings and as such have full rights to declare war-war to the knife-or teeth, whichever you please--and conclude our own peace. The other acts and things we propose to do as well, but in our own time and in our own way. For the present we submit this declara- tion of what mea? fo be to the intelligent and the fair-minded reader. As students we were ever attentive to our duties, and, in the face of prejudice, malice and envenomed spleen, ever cheerful and happy. And yet beneath that gay and frivolous exterior .there was lurking a canker-worm which was slowly eating its way to the surface. The chrysalis has broken and now it lies before you. 6
