We say only that our best efforts have been given toward it, ask only that the criticisms be not too harsh, and wish only that future classes may benefit by our experience. PAGI TWENTY

YAG! NINETEEN My truant fancies now traveled To a brightly nodding roseg Its sweet voice gently told me My future it would disclose. On a dairy in the suburbs, Milking cows you'll try, As a result of careful training In your course at Ferndale High. As I stood there musing, thinking, Of what had been revealedg One by one the flowers vanished With the secrets they concealed. Left alone once more with Nature, I heard the carol of a birdg The sprite, the garden, the compact fog, Seemed but a dream that had occurred A5 flllilll lub! gf! .544-:J Jar ff . A .1 14' - -- ,V -

We wish to express our gratitude to all the friends of the school who have helped us either financially or by good words, and to all of the pupils who have given us aid. Our Faculty has at all times aimed to inspire us to do our best, and to them our thanks is evident. Because of the resignation of all of last yearls faculty, we commenced the term with an entirely new set of teachers. There was also one more added, Mr. Terry, who has had charge of the dairy and agricultural classes, both practically innovations here. A few tentative attempts were made last year to establish these courses, Mr. Moore going so far as to conduct a dairy class during the last semester, but this term the classes were fully or- ganized and have received much favorable comment. The school has by this addition been enabled to conduct both Physics and Chemistry in the same year. In connection with the agricultural work, Mr. Terry has established a small experimental station, to experiment with the different kinds of clover seed. About eighty different varieties have been planted, and the manner in which they grow, the hardihood of the plants, and the value of the dif- ferent kinds as fodder will be carefully noted by the pupils. This is some- thing which is much needed in the Valley. To know what the land is best capable of producing, requires tedious experimenting, which is impossible with the average farmer or dairyman. We cannot say that affairs have always run smoothly in the Student Body this year. There have been a few misunderstandings, but we trust that they have only led to a better understanding among the pupils. There is room for greater loyalty, heartier co-operation, and deeper enthusiasm, and it is the prayer of the class of 1911 that this may be attained during the coming year. We have had a few interesting bi-weekly programs, but, on the whole, they have not been so good as last year's, and there is room for improvement next term. To offset this lack of interest in student body af- fairs, there has been greater interest taken in almost all forms of athletics, and some good material has been turned out. To outsiders coming into the Valley, the condition of the school grounds means much, and they judge the school, to a certain extent, by the beauty or lack of beauty of its grounds. We have great opportunities for beautifying the yard because of the stream that Hows through it. With a lawn sloping down to the creek, and some flowers, gratifying results could be obtained, if proper care were given. The pupils might accomplish this if a competent man were hired occasionally to assist in the work. We hope that next year's classes may see an improvement in this respect. . A PAGE '.l'WlN'l'Y'0N I
