nusnnzzzeazzzuuaczzaaauausnse-.Ts -as----:::: CLASS POEM We stand upon the highway of new life That stretches where the setting of the sun ln all its glowing colors means the end Of earthly journeys and in radiant light Foretells eternity. We ponder thus On life's great mysteries and hesitant stand, Reluctant to leave childhood's happy hours, Yet eager for that great adventurealife. The road is edged with sweet and lowly blossoms Which symbolize the joys of our existence, The joys of service to the ones we love. Deep in the thicket from the roadside's edge, Flamboyant, brilliant, dazzling in their hue, Appear those flowers which lure us from the road And seek to tempt us from our lofty aim, Unholy joys which on this broad highway, Assail the hearts of all who travel hence. Still in our consciousness will always linger The goal of all our greatest dreams-success. For some 'twill mean the praise of fellowmen, For others, just a Fireside, faith and love: But may we see emblazoned in life's sunset, He glanced aside-but did not lose his way.'

ll IF Il ll l ll ll ll A - 2 -1- - SENIOR EDITORIAL Commencement will soon bring to a close the High School career of the Class of l92l. Throughout the last four years we have been preparing almost unconsciously for this day, but now that our work is nearly completed, we more vividly realize the immense value that this preparation has been to us, and regret that more has not been made of the opportunities pre- sented to us for our help. From the disorganized ranks of Freshmen we have gradually advanced until we are now a united class, closely bound together by friendship, and devo- tion to our class and school. It is our good fortune to have been bom at such a time that we have been able to witness the greatest war in history, and to have had a part, during our early days in I-Iigh School, in bringing it to a successful close. lt is now our duty to con- scientiously do all that we can in the solving of the many pro- blems attendant upon reconstruction. The class has always taken an active interest in athletics. Individually, several of our members have held positions on the basket ball court, the gridiron, the diamond and the track. Collectively, we have supported the Athletic Association by our membership, and have handed over to them the proceeds from our two entertainments, the annual public speaking con. test and our Senior play, The Merchant of Venice. The class has fostered one new project, a school magazine. The Iroquois is not wholly a Senior production, but the Senior influence has been predominant. We of the Class of 1921 have done our best to make an eminent record and it is hoped that it is such that it will be looked up to in the future, and that the good reputation of the school may be better for our having been in it. Whatever the future may have in store for us, may we always remain true to our Alma Mater. - .- - i- 2 - .- H ll ll ,ll , lf' ll I ri
