SENIOR CLASS POEM. Still sits our school house by the road, Its doors wide open swinging. Around it still the children play, And loud the bell ringing. XVithin the teachers all are seen- Assistant and Professor, And Principal and all the rest, Some greater and some lesser. Thev are not all the ones we knew Wihen we first came to school here Tho' we'll admit they are as true As any known to rule here. 9 XVe all have failings as we know, XVe do not fear to own them, But we are here to End them ort And light them, not bemoan them. NVQ may think teachers, too, have faults That make them hard, unfeeling, But if we knew their trials all Perhaps there'd be less squealing, Sometimes to see us you would think Our sole aim here was playiii, But in our hearts, for ends in view, The deepest plans we're laying. VVe hope in ages vet to come, The work we do will live, Our influence be for the best, And help to others give. So let us do the best we can, Our talent has been seen- And make our High School proud of us, The Seniors of '15. Alice Barnes, '15

215 E. Highland Avenue. Ada, Ohio, April 14, 1915. To the Class of 1915, Edgerton High School. Greetings: It is with greatest pleasure that I send to you this word of good cheer. Even as I write I see again the pleasant faces of that company of High School youth who were for two years my loved companions and co-Workers. Their pleasing dispositions, thoughtful acts of kindness and untainted morals form a beautiful picture, the masterpiece in the art collection of my past mem- ories. It is my earliest prayer that their ideals and aspirations may be but the highest, the means of attaining them but the noblest and their consequent successes but the most glorious. May there be none to mar the pure and spotless reputation of our class, but rather may the life of each be noble though humble, useful though luxu- rious, and pure though possessing the most contaminating environments. Again may we not be slaves to environment, but rather skilled and com- petent masters of our destinies. Though our paths of life have parted perhaps never more to meet, let our common membership in this class ever be an assurance of sincere sympathy and good fellowship between us. Sending heartiest congratulations to you individually as friends and wollectively as a class, I rejoice to subscribe myself, ' Your friend and former classmate, ROSS D. ROSENBERGER.
