Dan Blackburn is our athlete, Who wins victories great and small. He’s a wonderful lad neither good nor bad, But his height is unusually tall. Next comes 4,ASIT' Tilton with his fog-horn voice. And liis cheeks so rosy too, I le reminds us of some great animal Let loose from a foreign zoo. In manners we find him quite lacking. His wits arc “not all there, But he can use some dialect. That burns the very air. Next comes Hay and Hcrster, Or rather “Hod and “Babe, Who only have three desires in life Some tobacco, a pipe, and a maid Sid Larkin is our orator At least he claims to be, But there are others who if given a chance, Can talk as loud as lie. Last comes the president of our class, Mr. Giberson by name, Who struts along with stately mien His importance to proclaim. Now I’ve spoken to you in kindness, And some I've tried to correct. So I hope you’ll not be offended, Where I’ve shown but little respect. Let me remind you of our motto. Which is known from pole to pole. “There’s no victory without a struggle,” Let us strive to reach the goal. I’ll end my task with pleasure That was begun with fear, Remember there are only a few months more ’Til the end of our High School career. And take this parting message now, The words of the bard sublime. “All arc architects of fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great. Some with ornaments of rhyme. Build to-day then, strong and sure With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.” M

Each Bazaar has sur- passed the one before it and 1911 followed the established precedents. The grand total of the profits was $275.37, but there can be no summing up of the fun and good time every person had who was present. Peace Day Peace Day was observed in High School on the morning of May 18th. Mr. George R. Miller, Sr., was the speaker and made a splendid address. He spoke on the relation of education to the Peace movement and placed spec- ial emphasis upon what we. as individuals, could do to hasten the era of Universal Peace. 23
