Classmates, we re together for the last time, as a rule. It s hard to believe that graduation is here. At last we have come to that momentous year. Others will come to take our place. They will do their work with skill and grace. We shall think of the good times we‘re leaving. It is a thought that causes us much grieving. The teachers have endeavored to train each mind. We thank them for being so patient and kind. So we will move on without bustle or fuss, To make room for the ones who follow us. •'—' • ‘- tfritvT ' ir wiir'i- ' - - — - •'
