THE CHIPPEWA HIGH SCHOOL The Chippewa High School! Long years ago my school. It stands on a hill like some palace in Rome. The building I sat in while learning my Latin Was farther down town and much farther from home. Yes, down on old Bay Street to studies we glided And great was the grief of each lad and each lass To learn that all Gaul in three parts was divided Or flirt with Old X in our algebra class! II. We battled with rhetoric, physics and hist'ry: We dabbled in' chemistry early and late. We sampled geometry's angular mystry And settled Life's problems in speech and debate. And when we had mastered the lore of all ages And read about Lear and Mark Antony's wife, We came to Commencement. that stage of all stages, And launeh'd our frail barks on the 'uast sea of Life! III. Old days of young dreams! Days of hope and endeavor! Dear school time illusions the years have dispelled! Ah, once these old days have departed forever How vainly we grope for the pleasures they held! Grant each present student a future all splendid! Thus prays an old student return'd to the scene To gaze once again on the school he attended While twenty-five years cast their shadows between! -WII.I.IAM F. KIRK, '94

DEDICA TION In spite of, or perhaps because of, our democracy. there is in our smaller American cities very frequently one man round whom the social life of the commun- ity centersg one who has pre-eminently the conlidence and esteem of his fellow oitigens, won not by birth or position but by a life of integrity and kindness If asked the name of the man who occupies this proud place in the hearts of 'the people of Chippewa Falls, no resident of our city would hesitate for an instant. We have one among us whom we all delight to honor. His name is associated with the work of the pioneer, the conquering of the forest, the development of our institutions of business, commerce and education. The old look upon him with pride as a leader but no less as a comrade and friend. Those of us who are younger look up to him as a benefactor and as an example of true American manhood. His name is linked in our minds with the joys of childhood, the happiest hours of our youth. We have learned to know nature bet- ter, to appreciate and love God's great out-of-doors be- cause of his gift to the city of the beautiful park of which we are all so proud. It is to this friend and benefactor, MR. VX-ILLIAM IRVINE, that we respectfully dedicate this volume of our High School Annual as a tribute of our grateful appreciation of his interest in the young people of our city, and as an expression of our affection and esteem.
