IVY ORA TIGN Friends, Teachers and Fellow ,S'tzLdeuts.' To-day we are gathered here for the pur- pose of celebrating an occasion which it has been the custom of the school to celebrate for manyyears, namely, to plant the ivy and to reveal to view the class stone. This seems to me, friends, not to be mere form, for the ivy and stone appear to have some symbolic meaning: the class in a way resembles the ivy-it starts out from the one trunk-the school, it divides into several branches-the members of our class in the various paths they are about to enter, and it keeps on dividing, each branch into many others, becoming more and more separated all the time-so will we become more and more separated as our lives go on. But, spread as the ivy may, it is always joined to the old trunk, and may we always be so, classmates, joined fast to the old school by our feeling, and may all of us, for whom it is possible, always keep up the old spirit by at- tending reunions, and may none of us ever forget we are the loyal sons of old German- town Academy. May we also, classmates, resemble, in sev- eral ways, the stone we place in the wall of the old building-may we always cling as close to each other as the molecules of the stone do, and may our love for our Alma Mater be as firmly imbedded in our hearts as the stone is in the wall, And now, friends, hoping that old Ger- mantown Academy will remember our class as long as it shall remember her-which is for- ever-I, in the name of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Six, unveil this stone and plant this ivy.
