School Days. We came one morning in the fall, From haunts both far and nigh, To answer to the first roll-eall In dear old Manitowoe High. Just how we felt need not be told, Let it suffice to say We often shivered as with cold, On that important day. We briskly climbed the flights of stairs To reach our destination, And there we saw upon some chairs An awesome congregation. We registered and got our books, And proceeded to our classes, A mixture true of frightened looks, And troubled youths and lasses. Thus quickly passed that eventful year, Full of pranks and childish joys; And daily grew that school more dear To the mob of girls and boys . So three more happy years have passed, And the time is drawing near When we again, with hearts downeast, Must seek another sphere. We’ve studied grammar, history, And physies with its store Of law so full of mystery, That it makes us long for more. We’ve occasionally the truant played, Or disobeyed a rule; But we’ve also labored, undismayed, To attain success in school. Before we go to play our parts, Wherever fate shall call, We wish to say, with grateful hearts, We’re glad we’ve had it all. Sometimes we’ve failed in days gone past, Our duty to perform ; Rut the wish will linger to the last To triumph and reform. We'll ne’er forget our M. H. S., No matter where we roam; A memory, it will be, to bless, As we journey on toward Home. = 99. H. G. 13.

‘“As seniors they assumed the business point of view. ‘I'hey asked themselves many questions: Are the four years of high school proving a good investment? Are we getting the very best? Are we working ‘side by side with those who go farthest and study deepest’? They found, in their senior year, that opportunities must be grasped in time or the influence gained will be lost. Hence responsibility was placed upon them in their senior year. It is this responsibility that makes the Senior sober and stately. ‘“The day dreams grew shorter and were more of reality. The foundations of the air-castles were made closer to Earth and they sometimes got as low as the physics laboratory. ‘““They found that the period of high school was a testing time, a proving of their ability and a drawing out of their tendencies in life. They have been given a choice of subjects which enabled them to follow their course with fewer conflicts. Electives were more than useful. (They took the place of ‘hard’ studies). ‘They also found manliness, and earnesiness and reality in life. ‘““They now cast aside their privileges and pleasures of high school life only to cherish them as they climb ever on from summit to summit to ‘ideals not attained’.’’ I rose only to find the fading twilight — the vision had disap- peared, | “The gathering orange stain Upon the edge of yonder western peak Reflects the sunset of a thousand ‘years.”’ H. W. 733. The Toast. Here’s to the school we love so well, Here’s to the M. H. 8. Here’s to the fellow who never flunks, And here’s to the Knight of the Guess. Here’s to the friendships of days gone by, Here’s to the teachers we’ve known, Here’s to the lessons that weren’t prepared, Here’s to the class from which we’ve flown. Here’s to the senior of solemn mien; Here’s to the senior who’s gay. Here’s to the Freshman and Junior and Soph, Whose chief occupation is play. Here’s to the class of the year 13; Here’s to the good times we’ve had; Here’s to the hope, that as time goes on, We'll seldom have cause to be gad. —21|—
