1925 THE BEACON 11 Cla s be By Sylvia Gromit, ’25. Oh, grand old school, the time has come, When we must wend our way; Along through Life’s uncertain course Of pleasure or dismay. Time flies on wing. It seems to us That it is scarce a year, Your portals opened to take us in, To start our knowledge here. But time and tide for no man wait, We’re leaving you to-day, Though thoughts of you will leave us ne’er When we are far away. Three joyous years we’ve spent with you, Three years you’ve taught us Right; Three years your standard have we held, A torch, that gave us light. But we are glad when we think o’er The happy days we’ve spent Among our classmates, teachers, friends, In joy and in content. Before we go, we leave with you Our wishes so sincere, We’ll ne’er forget the loyalty. You taught us to revere. We know not what the future holds. But we’ll bravely bear our part, Integrity and righteousness. Will strengthen every heart; And like a spinner at the wheel We’ll tread our coming days, We know that all the threads will run In His appointed ways. The knowledge that you gave to us. Your reverent sons and daughters. Will never die but onward flow Like to the living waters. Perhaps we did not realize Until this sad farewell, The erudition you’d unfold, The wisdom you would spell. Each day will bring with it a task, The world may seem austere. But you have taught us how to work. To conquer, not to fear. With courage and with patience both, Our happiness we’ll gain, By giving aid to those less strong. That they their goal attain. No more we’ll spend a happy hour With you in mirth or song, We’re leaving all our friends so dear We’ve cherished for so long. So fare thee well, most loyal school, Farewell, our teachers true, Farewell, our classmates trustworthy, We pledge our love to you.

THE BEACON 1925 13 eninr Class history The Class of 1925 is rapidly nearing the elose of its career. It has indeed, through its loyalty and devotion to the High School and its tradi¬ tions, set a standard for itself t of which every member of the class may well be proud. Three years ago, we assembled for the first time, as the largest entering class in the annals of the school. Looked down upon by the haughty Seniors and Juniors, we soon won their respect and confidence by the manner in which we conducted our various affairs and the in¬ valuable aid we rendered in literary and sport activities. A year soon passed and we advanced another step up the ladder of success. We were Juniors! With Eli Gartz as president, assisted by Isaac Cohen as vice-president, Benjamin Kepnes as treasurer, and Rose Pressman as secretary, we held our Junior Prom, which proved to be a great success both socially and financially. Another year quickly rolled by and we were masters of our fate. We were Seniors! Again we held a spirited election and the following of- fieers were chosen to lead us: Eli Gartz, president; llarry Margolis, vice- president; Benjamin Kepnes, treasurer; and Rose Pressman, secretary. Once again we repeated our success of the year before, for our Senior Prom will long live in the memory of teachers, friends, and class¬ mates. Following close upon the heels of our prom came our Senior Play. The play, “Seventeen,” was rapidly developed under the capable di¬ rection of Mrs. Fay. its successful presentation work and justifies our thanking all participants, on May 12 and 14 revealed much conscientious The friendly advice which we received from the faculty during our high school career helped make the aforesaid events great successes, and we take this opportunity to express our grati¬ tude. We are now working toward the big events: ( ' lass Day, Graduation, and Reception. Let us make them worthy of long remembrance. Rose Pressman, Secretary.
