p Presidenfs Address FRIENDS AND FELLOW CEASSMATES: The time has come when we must part. Time was when we eagerly prayed for this day and feverishly reckoned up our counts and abilities, hoping We had enough to become seniors. Conditions have indeed changed. When we leave this building, we realize that we will never see some of our comrades again. We all start on our battle of life. Friends, it is indeed a serious time in our career and yet, what a future lies before us. VVe are living in a great age, in a glorious country and stirring timesg always there is room for trained men and women. Wliieii We lea.ve our school We must remember we are representing her. The eyes of the world are upon us and the worldls opinion of us determines its opinion of her. We must remember that we are not 'born of success. nor is success thrust upon us, but success must 'be achieved. There is a wide -gate of opportunity for each and every one of us, but we cannot wait for op- portunity. We must strive to reach our gate by our own resources. At some time in the lives of most of us, there will be an important crisis which we must meet without hesitation. It will be sudden and unlooked for. Are We going to do the right hing? There is but one Way to prepare for such a crisis. VVe must meet. our troubles and honorably discharge our otices at all times. VVe must lend a helping hand to work for the best inter- ests of those with whom we are concerned. May We all be successful and may each of us add something to the world is good and a 'bit more lustre to the name of OLD I. C, M. FREDERIC GREEN.

The Class History As I sit by the cozy tire, listening to the gentle April rains, I think of the day we entered upon our career in the conservatory. INe stood in awc of the seniors, each one thinking to himself, HI-Iow proud I shall be when I finish my coursen, but now that We ourselves are seniors it is not so with most of us, for we realize only too well how much there is yet to learn and how little we know. It has been our great privilege to study in a school which has as its president Mr. Egbert., whom every- body loves. In Olll' Freshman Year, Miss Ruth Meyers was our adviser, proving very capable, though we evidently did not respond well to her efforts as the seniors willed us that year a 'barrel of turpentine to take -oft the green paintw. Mrs. Broughton was courageous enough to take charge of the class during the next year, doing all in her power to incite enthusiasm. VVith -her coopera- tion we -gave a dance which was well patronized. In -our Junior Year we became more am-bitious, -giving two dances which proved very successful. Be- fore the close of that year we gave ia. ball in Conserva- tory Hall to the Honorable Seniors. Our Senior Year, the class, with Mrs. Rodgers as our very efficient adviser, naturally reached the height of activities. We realized that we must be a L'Live Wll'G77 as an example to the under classmen. Vtfe elected the following members as Class Officers: Frederic. Green-P resident. Elizarbeth Smith-Vice President. Helen Harrison-Secretary. Leonard Beyer-Treasurer. During the year we gave two dances. Every Tues- day afternoon after rehearsal one of our members shouted up and down the corridors, Sandwiches! Have a sandwich? The funds of the treasury were thereby greatly increased. During the latter part of the second term we lost. one of our members, Henry Bassett, who enlisted in the Navy, though two more were gained in the early part of the year, when Twila Kitch and Margery Grannis, both of whom had studied elsewhere, joined us for their 'Senior Year.
