PRELUDE Aurora, messenger of coming day, Go forth to brighten life along thy way, Dispelling darksome gloom and dreaded fear. Wherever thy enlightening rays appear May joy and peace in rich abundance dwell: — Then shall we say of thee, “Thou dost well.” With mirth to cheer and gladden every heart, With truth for modest wisdom’s thoughtful part, With colors bright and face forever gay, Go, herald forth the light of coming day.

When we glance over its pages we find that it took strong noble characters to build it. Frequently, it is thought of as a written account of the events of a nation, but it is broader than this. This history, instead of being the history of a nation, taken collectively, is the history of a strong, united class, whose members are anticipating entering all vocations of life. In future years, as we look back upon the history of the Hobart Township High School, we will see our names upon that record, ours, the class of 1908, in the history as a loyal honorable class. And it is no wonder. Look at the lives of the great that now surround me with expectant faces. Four years ago we entered this High School as a class of twenty-four. Had you seen us at that time and now you would certainly not recognize in us the students who seemed so far from modern ideas. But we were no different from other Freshmen. We were green, but we were not evergreens. One year of experience prepared ns for future events. When we entered the Sophomore class it was with a different spirit. During this year we were known as the “Snippy Sophies.” Whether we deserved the title or not, who can tell, but surely we did not feel as though it was a disgrace. As Sophies we numbered thirteen. Thirteen, such an unlucky number! However, to our great sorrow, before the close of the term one of our members left us.
