school in gay uniforms which we all thought vastly becoming to them. They promenaded about the study room in all the glory of their blue and gold, and they soon proved their right to wear it by the good work they did in drill. They made the Battalion Fair a great success and also the Offi- cers’ party, which fully equalled, not to say surpassed, those given in for- mer years. We must not forget to mention that in the Prize Speaking a senior carried off second prize, while two of our number were awarded prizes for compositions. Xow as we go out on widely diverging paths of life, I am sure we shall always delight to recall the pleasant years spent in the G. H. S. 20

ODE TO 1903. Softly, my comrades ! Our school year is closing ! Time strikes the hour, we go at his call, Others will come in to fill the ranks opened, There by their work will they rise or they fall. Our future — though list’ning, we know not its message Or what it may bring us, of good or of ill. Let it face us with courage and earnest endeavor, Strong in the purpose that conquer we will. Let us make of our lives the best we are able, With love and good will holding all in their sway, And crush ’neath our footsteps base passion ignoble, While still climbing upward o’er life’s rugged way.
