mmmm-DEi-wmmmmu um H mm H m i Our Teachers The time has come for us to leave Elder High School, and, too, it is time for us, the Class of '25, to pause and deliberate on just what thoughts are appropriate and what actions are in order, at this most auspicious time of our lives. We fervently believe that the paramount duty for all of us is to remember that great debt of Gratitude, which We owe to our Teachers. Their task is hnished; ours is to begin. Four years ago we did not fully realize that we were plac- ing a great responsibility upon our Teachers, shoulders. namely to instruct us both in religious and worldly matters so that we might leave the portals of Elder fully equipped to enter and conquer the conflicts of the world. Yet our Reverend Fathers. good Sisters, worthy Brothers. and devoted lay-teachers have patiently striven to impart that learning we now possess and from which instructions everything must come which we may ever hope to attain. They have en- couraged us to learn and they have remedied and corrected our mistakes and faults With patience and kindness. The sacrifice which philosophers make is that they are willing to give their all for the knowledge they crave and want, but the sacrifice that our teachers have made is that they have been willing to give their lives in order to teach us some- thing more of God and His universe. We, therefore, for the present thank our Teachers from the bottom of our hearts for the great interest they have had in us for the last four years, and we hope that in the future our achievements may he a consolation and an honor for them.

mum H z A t: ,q emmnmr u m .Wmv I :z Freshmen Girls What a frightened mob of Freshmen crowded the gym- nasium on Registration Day! With What timidity and trepida- tion did they enter the portals of Elder! With what Wide- opened eyes did they search for their assigned rooms! The poor Freshmen! How every one pities them! How ignorant and dense they are thought to be! All the other students deprecate the idea that they were once Freshmen. However, the Fteshies must put through a hard year. They must become accustomed to a new life; their studies are dihicult; and each Freshie, way down.in the bottom of her heart, is haunted by a fear of being lost in the corridors. There are four classes of Freshmen Girls at Elder. Some of these follow the general course, while others grapple With the commercial. The fundamentals of Spanish and Latin are the most difficult for the Freshies to grasp, as these are so dif- ferent from what they have ever before studied. I Notwithstanding their many hardships, the Freshmen Girls entered into whatever activities they were permitted. They turned out in large numbers to root at the various athletic games. Entertainments and dances were also well attended by the girls of the First Year. Cheer up. Freshies, your trials are nearly over. You can now look forward to the time, when you will be upper-classv men. Next year you Will be quite at home at Elder. New duties will be imposed upon you. If you fulfill them obediently, and with pep and school spirit, I am positive that Elder Will be proud of you. MARGARET NABERHAUS. : y nb- Cfg.
