Graduation With a feeling of mingled joy and sadness, we leave the dear old Grand Junction High School,—jo because of the progression and advancement in our struggle for an education: sadness because of the close of the friendly associations which we must now look upon as a thing of the past. But the happy moments spent in the school-room will never he forgotten. Often, we shall think of the merry laugh which resound d through the halls in spite of C ’s being dealt out vcr. generously; we shall think of flunks and scoldings, and of all connected with them : of sliding down the bannister only to be faced by the professor when we arrived at the bottom, and to hear the sentence of “five hours” verv freely given out to us. The corps of teachers w'th their smiling faces will not he forgotten, hut the memory of them will always he cherished. As we leave the school, we give to it our best wishes. We desire that the coming pupils may receive even more benefit from it than we have received. Dear Old School, we must leave thee, Though loath we arc to say farewell; But duty calls us onward, never free From toils and labors in this weary cell. I hough hills and vales may come between us, And sorrow and gloom may often cross our ways; et we indeed shall always fondly cherish Sweet recollections of those old school days. I hv corps of pedagogues we shall always remember, And our best wishes to them will be given: Ami it it be our lot no more on earth to gather, May we all meet them at last in Heaven. Now Dear Old School, at last we say. “adieu,” e hope our lives will be an honor to thee: And may each individual always he as true As our dear teachers have taught us to he. A Toast We have all of us praised the girl we have met When sailing away on a cru’sc. And the girl that on leave »s quite the best yet. To her our hearts gladly wc loose. But we've none of us sung of one little dame, Who has never been given full pra:se ; Vet all our best wishes she surely can claim But for her—what were old school days? So here let me pledge you—this lady fair— I know you’ll all drink the toast down— I o the maid whom you’ll find to be always right there— The girl of Grand Junction town.

Doctor Cole I Ic's short and bald, but not so old; 1 lis store of knowledge is untold: When we behave he treats ”S right. But when we don’t he's s ire a fright. I Ic gives us time for after school To show us plain we’ve been the fool, And, in the end, we find it best That we have had that five-hour rest: Sometimes he’s bright, sometimes he's dole, Just such a man is our Doctor Cole. He likes to talk on certain things, Mostly on scientific themes; If our attention he receives. He’ll just stop talking by degrees; But if the listening we do shirk, He’ll start that lesson with a jerk. So we have come to see and know That listening is our only show: Still we’re proud to be possessor Of such a wise and good professor. IRVING GATES.
