IRVING SKETCH BOOK Now as our last days together approach, we will here again make an- other pledge of good fellowship, and, may our class follow life's ways as a group connected by our common memories, and common aspirations. We feel that it would not be out of place to mention a few of our as- pirations and hopes for the future. The next obstacle we must pass will be college. We know that college is not a barrier to be easily overthrown, but, with the preparation which we have received at Irving, we are sure to come out on top. After college comes the real struggleg the struggle for existence. We will enter many different professions and many different trades, and, if it lies within the power of man we will prove an asset to our Alma Mater. College will present to us something entirely new. None of us have ever experienced college life so we are anxiously looking forward to this new step along the road of life. We have dim ideas as to what life on a college campus may be like and we can hardly wait to see how closely we have estimated this phase of our lives. We expect a difficult struggle but We are ready to meet it. Then, of course, comes our business career. Some will be physicians, some engineers, some will establish themselves in prosperous concerns, some may, possibly, be artists or editors or even authors. No matter where we scatter it is quite certain that Irving School will receive good reports from the graduating class of 1927. , ,eu 1 he 1 'M U .Q I . Q 5 , . V i , M.

This being a brief history of our class, we will not enumerate here the personal honors and victories won by individuals. This is to be a story of work well done and victory or defeat well met. During our stay at Irving we have felt the strong influence of Dr. Furman and have been well prepared by close contact with him, and the members of a splendid faculty, for the duties and missions of our future life. Football, basketball, track, baseball, and tennis have been, during our school day, the variety which is the spice of life. We are proud to say that most of the members of these teams were taken from the Senior class. Likewise the Irvonian and the Sketch Book are primarily Senior pub- lications with representatives in the lower forms. Past records will show that the sixth form has made generous contributions to both of these pub- lications and has maintained them on their usual high standard. But who could expect anything other than the best with such an ex- ample as Dr. Furman constantly before us. Our surroundings, our pro- fessors, our schoolmates, all are inspirations that cannot be put aside by any intelligent boy. Of course We have made our mistakes and have the failings common to any group of young men, but we have done our best to correct our faults and we hope that we have profited by our mistakes and gained knowledge through our experiences. l The spirit of our class, throughout these years has been one of good will and cooperation, and we have striven to our utmost to uphold the in- terests, standards, and honor of our school. ., 'X fb Awgd ,4jkPQ f 'fo 1 V X.
