tb in cs- SID 'Q 4: Q 4 A'E:Ai.A,..,.., gli g areweif essdqe ON THIS OCCASION I am sure the reader will be indulgent if I grow senti- mental. In spite of all the festivity which attends commencement, being graduated from high school is a sorrowful event when it means leaving a place as fraught with memories of gay events and warm friendships as is Forest Park. With the wisdom of alumni we shall perhaps look back over the years we spent here and see how petty were our small successes and failures and yet how momen- tous to us at the time. We realize we did not make the most of all our opportuni- ties and we made many missteps but the compensations more than outweigh the disappointments and today there is nothing we would trade for the happy experi- ences of these high school days. What about the future? I am sure that for some time to come we shall feel a certain emptiness, as if something were missing, when we do not come every morning to our classrooms and join in the noisy unimportant conversation with our intimates and walk around the track after cafe and climb the ro-pes in gym and do the thousand and one other trivial things which go to make up school life. But melancholia is not the state of mind in which to be when starting new undertakings. Leaving high school means expanding and going on to greater things for which high school was only a preparation. As Dr. White says, Com- mencement is the beginning. T herefore, let us hold up our heads and go forward with indomitable spirit. I am sure no one wishes you, my classmates, more suc- cess than I do. Sincerely your friend, PAUL T. MILLER. Twentyftwo

CHARLES DALE BAER Vice-President December 3, 1911, Delton, Pennsylvania 4032 Belle Avenue He expects to go to College HF YOU DON'T recognize the name you will certainly know the face. No matter how many aliases are given him as Charles or Dale , he is just Joe to us. Where, in the whole of Forest Park, can you find a person as popular as he? Joe is so well liked by everyone because he possesses one of the finest dispositions of any of our boys, and a smile that will chase your most severe case of blues away. There are very few activities going on in this school in which Joe does not take an active part. He is a good all around boy, a pal to all of us, and a great favorite with our co-eds. He has an equal call- ing for sports and social activities, and makes a tremendous success of all he attempts.

BERWANGER Tfreasurefr March 8, 1912, Baltimore, Maryland 3604 Springdale Avenue He expects to go to the University of Baltimore HENRY, BETTER KNOWN as Amos, is one of the best entertainers that the class has. Many a lagging ad- visory period has been Upepped up by a pleasant fifteen minutes dialogue with his partner, Andy . As the stentorian Marquis Imari , he roared and ranted excellently, impressing everyone with his importance. Henry has also been a val- uable asset to the track team for the past two years. There is little need to wish Henry success when he leaves us, as he seems to be endowed with all the necessary traits for the future.
