After Commencement is o’er, we will ret uni no more to the old “ Penn” building with its manifold associations and interests. Our object is to further our ambitions in a broader field. For many of us will cuter higher institutions of learning and pursue those studies which they think arc best fitted for them: on the other hand, others will cast themselves directly into the strong tide of life, and endeavor to keep themselves on the top, continually struggling for mastery.

Senior Class History.—(Continued.) this line which is usually a failure. Several of our Class were fortunate enough to secure positions on the various athletic teams and brought credit to 1913. In the latter part of the Sophomore term our Class President, Raymond Kenyon, fulfilled a beautiful custom by presenting to the School, a bust of our Nation’s first Kxccutive. The year seemed to pass quickly and soon it was over, whence after a two months’ respite we prepared ourselves for another year’s tussle. Almost immediately upon our return, the annual Junior Class meeting occupied our minds. Fortunately this was held without any interference from the Seniors and was a huge success. The year passed quickly and soon we were making our first attempt at a delivery from the platform, an event which causes the hearts of all Juniors to quail within them. On a beautiful sunshiny day in Spring, known as Arbor Day, the Class made its first public appearance and presented a fine program. With the exception of a few dances now and then, nothing occurred of sufficient importance to make history, and soon we came to the full realization that we were Seniors. Directly at the beginning of our final term, the male members of the Class, under the able leadership of President Kctchlcdgc and advised by the more experienced members of the faculty, were led to abolish the usual trouble making attempt of the Seniors to prevent the Juniors from holding their Class Meeting. Almost before we were aware of it Christmas had arrived and our speakers seemed to be permeated with sarcastic remarks. One of the most important features of our whole career was our Bazaar which despite unfavorable circumstances proved to be the most successful ever held by any class. Truly, something to be proud of. Then again on 113th Day, the speakers selected for the occasion rendered a pleasing and humorous presentation. Thus, gentle reader, we have spent our four years in High School, and we hope that our record while not remarkable may at least be not passed by unnoticed. Historian.
