LOYALALUMN EiI?232?:-ii E?I?2f?i'291i.-LLiff?Mi'1ii9af?KJii IQZWQWEWQ If there is anything of which the High School may well be proud, it is the loyalty of her Alumni. The following letters received by The Perhaps are indicative of this spirit which is so very helpful in the various student enter- prises for raising the standard of the school. High School Loyalty To the people of Dallas City, and to the Alumni of the High School in particular, the paper edited by the students of the High School is received with the great- est of enthusiasm and the most hearty appreciation. The Alumni are proud to learn that we have such an energetic and thoughtful number of young men and women in attendance at the school that we hold so dear in our memory and link so closely to many of our most tender thoughts of the past. What is more noble than an ef- fort made by a graduate or a mem- ber of our High School to assist in stimulatinga true spirit of loy- alty in our school? Let us be loyal to our school. Let us up- hold and advertise it as being one of the best in this part of Illinois. Let us tell our friends of the corn- petency of its directors and the capability of its teachers. Let us impress upon the minds of our neighbors the true morality that is to be found in our little city, and thereby induce the people of the surrounding towns and coun- try to send their children to Dallas City to be educated. Let us all work together for the better- ment of our school. Let us cultivate a spirit of loyalty and in the end we shall have a larger, better equipped and a more reputable High School in Dallas City.-AW. B. DuBois, Class '09. From the Uris-nt Manilla, P. I., Nov. 3d, 1910. Business Manager Perhaps Dallas City, Ill. Dear Sir:-Having received your card and some sample copies of The Perhaps and not lacking in loyalty to the Dallas City High School I take pleasure in en- closing titty cents for one year's subscription to The Perhaps. ,I was a graduate of the Dallas City H. S. in the class of '99 and have watched with pleasure the prog- ress of the school since then. I am still in the educational work of these islands. The government is trying to standardize the private schools, both secular and religious schools. My work is supervising all the privateschools for girls. I have ten schools under my charge. The work is very pleasant and I am enjoying it very much. We have just completed our sixth year in the Phillipines. Hoping to hear from you often thro' The Perhaps, I remain a loyal friend to the Dallas City High School.-Mrs. Clara Schwartz Jamison, Class of '99, A fs L, 'ffgiiz 14.1. is ' ittfmm-'S 1 in i It ' wr nf I ,553 ' ' fl J ,Sai-1 ' ,Q '. . 5 ' aah ' T Hifi Y will f , if Q 1 W ,ffm xfLJ4f3?fQ:?? 502 3 1 3 1 3 . 2 if jc Banff C 'itz QyS3s:.vQ: r U R Hin Hi G we Y.
