When we became Seniors we numbered twenty, but there were five of us who did not quite reach the required standard at the end. A deep gloom was cast over the lucky ones and it was with regret and sorrow that our number was reduced to fifteen. They did not fail, because they did their best, and one who does his best and measures up to his ow n standard, even though it be not that of others, is not a failure, but a success. It was with reluctance that w r e gave them up and with jealousy that we now r watch them day by day lest they should forget us and count themselves members of the present Senior Class. We still consider them as members of our class, for had it not been for their efforts in helping us fight our daily battles, we could not have attained our success. It is with sadness when w r e realize that the ’ll 1-2 Class must soon separate and go out into the world. So here’s hoping that each may succeed well in his life work and bestow honor on L. I.
