. .Ili A FAREWELL S the class of 1911 leaves Curtis to continue its work elsewhere, it is the wish of the members oi that class to express their 1 appreciation of the work and activities with which they have been connected during the last four years. Like tried soldiers we are now given an honorable discharge,-in this case our diplomas. Wliile we have been at Curtis we have been taught many things, so far as studies themselves are concerned, but better than all are the character making lessons of courage, responsibility, persever- ance, and self-control. Whatever we do, or wherever we go, we can never forget those who have so earnestly worked for our welfare. To the teachers we are indebted for earnest efforts, patience and high ideals. To the undergraduates we offer our best wishes for their future success in advancing all interests of the school. And now, dear Curtis, in a spirit of loyalty and gratitude, with regret at parting, but with hope for the future, we say FAREWELL. Eighty-seven
