THE CLASS TOKENS. 1898. To the class of eighteen-hundred ninety-eight belongs the honorof originating the custom of presenting a class memorial to the High School on their departure from High School life. They left a large ebony- framed carbon print of Lincoln from St. Gauden's statue in Lincoln Park, Chicago. This is an especially appropriate gift, as it combines a high standard ofart with the highest type of patriotism. A 1899, Perhaps less inspiring but more beautiful is the wonderful-colored lithograph o-f Guido Renis' famous painting Aurora The p-icture has lost but little in the reproduction, which portrays in all its exquisite beauty the sto-ry of Aurora, lifting the veil of night with rose tinted fingers. 1900. The class of nineteen hundred presented the school with a memorial of a somewhat different nature. They left us a statue of Diana, the Huntress. The statue is a copy in alabaster of the celebrated Diana of Versailles, now in Louvre. g 1901. In the gift of the class of nineteen hundred one we find a compan- ion piece for Diana They presented us with the statue Prometheus Bound portraying the well known myth of Prometheus. . 1902. The picture of the Dying Gaul presented by the class of nineteen hundred two is a remarkable presentation of physical manhood and great artistic merit is discernible in the portrayal of bodily and mental agony in the face of the dying hero. . 1903. The class of nineteen hundred and three altered the custom of giv- ing gifts representing ages far removed from o-urs by presenting the school with a fine bust of our late president, McKinley. 1904. The class of nineteen hundred fo-ur presented to the school a print of Amien's cathedral, one of the most inspiring and uplifting examples of the Gothic style of architecture. The photograph is well worth studying as representing a class of buildings unknown to our American cities. 1905. The gift of the class of nineteen hundred live was a cast of the spir- ited Victory of Sarnothracef' a well known piece of Grecian sculpture, now in the Louvre. ' It is hoped that this commendable custom so wisely inaugurated by the class of eighteen ninety-eight will be continued: by succeeding classes as it serves no-t only to remind us of those who have gone out from the 'school but also to beautify our rooms. 13
