(Mass fluent It was not so many moons ago, In a school where few can play, That some Seniors worked—as they must, you know— In the most assiduous way; And these Seniors lived with no other thought Than to pass on Commencement Day! They were so great, and they were so straight, In that school, where all are gay; And they worked with a zeal only Seniors feel, These brave Seniors, every day; With such zeal that all students in our school Did envy them, they say. I ■ s = = s s = And that was the reason, some days ago, In this school, near the close of May The Powers That Be said, “This class must go— They are far too wise to stay; There is nothing more for them left to know— They must pass on Commencement Day.” Page Sixteen iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiiiuiiiu... mi.................................mi.iiniimiiiiiiiiiii.......................... min........

“Success has been based on originality and independence—Doherty. HELEN SPRAGUE Academic. Delta; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Chorus 1, 2, 3; Operetta 2, 3.

For such a little girl she is kept pretty busy, but with Canton so far away why shouldn’t she be more interested in her work? EDNA WAIN WRIGHT Academic. Science Club 3.

Transferred from Canton 1; Chorus 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Op- eretta 1, 2, 3; Outing Club 3 Secretary R. B. E. 3, 4. Velma is always in the right place at the wrong time.

“Making poetry is practicing the language of the spirit.”—Dante. Class Poem (CONTINUED) Underclassmen, not half so wise, of course, Were envying them each one; And that is the reason (there may be worse, But from this cause it begun) That the Powers That Be moved, with mighty force. That their High School work was done. But the moon never beams without bringing them dreams Of the wonderful students they are, And the stars never rise but they think just how wise They have been to have climbed up so far; And so all the night-time, they still dream in their pride Of their greatness—such greatness as no class beside Ever reached in its life-time, they say, In our High School, until this day. When the school’s last lesson is mastered, And the classes are tested and tried, When the laziest student has vanished, And the dullest has stepped aside, We shall rest—and, faith, we all need it— We shall stop for a moment or two, Till the wonderful School of Experience Shall set us to work anew. Then those well prepared shall be happy, They shall go to life’s higher grade; They shall face the world’s mighty problems With countenances unafraid; They shall pass through each test as they meet it At the sound of Duty’s call; They shall work every day, for most have to— And never be tired at all. And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, As we work for the joy of the winning, And climb up the pathway to fame; For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, While he follows the gleam, as he sees it, To the goal that for him means success.
