H. S. Your actions, looks, and notions, proved the work of sore distress. When Sophomores you were gayer than the last year lad and lass, For you were learning more of school and how to make things pass, But still you rather trembled when your lessons were not done, And you knew that on the morrow examinations were to come. As Juniors you thought you knew it all when you planned for that reception 'Twould be the best they'd ever had in Kirklinls whole creation. Your grades were fair throughout the year and several got exempted, it seemed that luck had gone your way in all you had attempted. Vkfe recall those days long passed when you as our superior, Showed us how to get our lessons, made our weary way much merrier. And we thank you, honored Seniors, as we've never done before Letting bygones be forgotten in the golden days of yore. With our best and heart felt wishes, we bid you go your Way, In this happy world before you never let your knowledge strayg But remember that the juniors felt the keenest touch of sorrow. VVhen you left our High School doorways not to enter there tomorrow. l MARIEL MAZE, '27. C253

THE KAY ' ' And they passed the second milestone, smiling These travelers young and strong, Each day brought their goal the nearer, And the journey clicl not now seem so long. Pleasant people they met on their trip Who gave them words of cheer, And told them to keep on climbing There was nothing ahead to fear. The third milestone is left behind, The top of the hill can be seen, And the journey, as they now look backward Seems scarcely more than a dream. A few more trials and hardships, And worries will all be in the past, There will come to them, the well-earned reward As they reach the top at last. From the top of the hill they gaze, Upon the world below, And see such a vast expanse Of things they ought to know. That these travelers say to each other How could these think that our traveling was done?,' VVith such an interesting world before us. Our search for knowledge has just begun.

H. S. citadel for the purpose of carrying away some of the gems of knowledge that were from time to time being collected there by Mr. McBride and others. This guardian ship was taken over by Mr. Conner in January, 1923. After eight months endeavor encountering many ups and downs, the siege came to an end, and the beseigers departed, each with more or less booty in his possession. In the autumn of 1923 the attack was renewed. The band were now somewhat better organized under the leadership of Reign Julian. However, eight of their ranks were vanquished, yet this loss was partly made up by the recruit, Mildred Hanks. Mr. Conner who was yet guardian of the citadel was forced to release an- other portion of the treasure, which was apportioned among the ranks ac- cording to meritorious desserts. Their desire not being satisfied, they, like the Crusaders of old, gathered again in the fall of '24 for another onset. The Richard Coeur de Lion being Carl Crawford, the Saladin Mr. Conner. The last years losses had reduced their ranks to nineteen, yet by the strength gained through the experience of former years they were able to force the release of another collection of valuables. In September, 1925, ,feeling more capable than ever before, and again led by Carl Crawford, they once more appeared before the K. H. S. fortress demanding of Mr. Conner that he deliver to each of the remaining seventeen veterans no less than thirty-two gems. This he freely did and in addition gave treasure in the form of diploma, that assured admittance into higher ranks. WILLIAM BOGAN. C277
