PLEIAII Qiatnrg nf the Swninr 0112155 Do you remember a day-oh just ages ago-when a band of insigniflcent, innocent Scrubs wandered sheepishly over the campus of F. U. l-el. S.? At first we didn't feel a bit at home, and kept a watchful eye upon the wily Sophs, and held the dignihed Seniors in awe. But after we had organized our class, and wiped the Sophs off the map in the shoe fight, we felt as important and grown up as anyone. And deep down in our hearts we believed that we were the most dutiful and studious class that had ever happened, and we felt quite confident that our teachers agreed with us. At the last of the year, we became better acquainted, and by taking an active part in school affairs, we let the students know that the class of '20 intended to be a record-breaking one. Once more we tripped up to school, but this time as big-headed Sopho- mores, who viewed the Scrubs with disgust and scorn, and duly initiated them into the joys and cares of High School. We hardly knew each other, because the boys had donned society clothes, and girls had deserted their braids and pigtails for the latest and most elaborate styles, but believe me -we were the same old class, and during our Soph year, our pep and jazz and school spirit never faltered. juniors, you know, are inclined to be just a little reckless, but we were so very daring that it frightens us to think of it even now. Wide-awake and brimming over with enthusiasm, we aspired only to the highest goals, and it is needless to say that we attained them, not only in football, track, and dramatics. but in scholarship as well. but all good things must have an end, so we closed the year by giving the Seniors a reception. which proved to be a wonderful success. At last we have reached the goal of our ambition-now being wise and dignihed Seniors.-and we are all proud of the reputation and name which we have made. We have been pilgrims to the shrine of knowledge for four short years, and now we are ready to advance to high standards. But yet it is with a feeling of regret and hesitancy that we leave, for we realize that the best and happiest days of our lives have gone by and will soon be only a memory-a memory which will lighten our way and our hearts in the years to come, MAVIS BALL, '20, fourleen

fifteen Elie Banning nf 19211 The Day has come when we must part, Must leave the dear familiar ways we've loved so much, The great world call has come and we must go- With eager eyes but footsteps slow- Only a backward look, a farewell touch, And we shall answer it and part. Four years ago with laughter in our eyes we came, Half-timid children welcoming Surprise, Four happy years singing we've played the game, Singing we've vanquished failure, challenged fame, And now the greater call has come And we arise. Farewell, we grieve not thus to go. To worthy hearts and hands we leave the task, Worthy are those who follow-wise, we know, Only remember we have loved--have fought- lle ask no mercy but this-only Farewell, lfarewell, the call is answered- And we pass. BE'l l'Y-DICK FRAZEE, '20
