an-ii Friends, Trojans, and Homerites, lend me your ears. We come to relate the history, not bury it. So let it be with our class. The noble permanent record cards hath told you our class was not overly ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault because it got us into trouble with teachers, and grievously have we answered for it! Here, under leave of Mr. Wolner and rest, we come to speak at our departure. To relate our crusade of knowledge, we will first give credit to the people who started this journey and are still with us. jim Allen, Charline Sharp, Pete and Larry Hartquist, Jeanette Lintern, Connie Burns, Cynthia Newcomb, Paul Burhans, Bob Collier, Dick Harris, Dick Merihew, Dick Ryan, Bob Vaber, Susie Riter, Don Randall are the ones, and, of course, Bobo McNeil. This boy helped to hold us down when we often hit bumpy parts of the road. The boy who was to wear the kingly crown in our senior year, john Folmer, joined us in the fourth grade. He didn't come to what you could call a real school, because we lost it in the second grade, when Pete Hartquist stayed after school that fonej night to do some extra work. In our junior high years, we were invaded by many more friends from Scott, Preble, Tully, and Cortland. And when eighth grade regents came, many were heard saying, Oh! Knowledge, thou art fled to other heads, and I have lost my reasonf, But even so, many survived to make the rest of the history possible. Soon we found we were planning our senior trip. We held auction, Prom, and party to raise the necessary funds. Now we speak not to disprove what town folks say, but here we are to speak what we do know. This class will be remembered for its good things. But why do the teachers not weep now that we are leaving? Thank you for bearing with us. A part of our hearts is with our memories, and we must not pause till it comes back to us. SUSIE RITER DON RANDALL Hisrour or THE crass oi-1' 5,5
