S THE time draws near, when we must say good- bj e to the old school, with all that it has meant to us, with the friends we have made here, and with the good times we have had, we begin to realize more fully just what we are leaving and, with that realization, the desire to g et away from the re- straints and so-called hum drum of school life grows less, and we begin to realize that school life is not so bad as it has seemed. We begin to see that the professors are not the overbearing individuals that we had sometimes pictured them; that the tardy room is not such a severe instrument of punishment after all and that the pleasures and enjoyment that we have had here we will not find anywhere else in life to the degree that we have found them here. Along with this comes a feeling of even more weight. We begin to realize the opportunities that we have let slip; oppor- tunities for bettering ourselves and for bettering the school; opportunities that we will never have again and which, but for the thoughtlessness of the moment, we w ould have acted upon. However, the past is past, and we have only the future to think about. What will we do with it? Will we make our lives count for something in the world of tomorrow. Let us hope that every member of this old class, remembering the mistakes and neglected opportunities in these four years of High School life, may, with his face set and eyes fixed on some thing higher and better, seize every opportunity offered, to rise to a high place, to be a power in his community and a benefit to mankind. Guy p. Sanderson President.

DEDICATION. Here ' s to the man whose motto is Play Square, and who lives up to his motto. Mr. Tinsley, both in his capacity as prin- cipal of the Male High School and as assistant principal of this school, has always been to us a faithful friend and advisor. He has always been one of us; never holding himself aloof, never distant, yet always retaining our deepest respect and confidence. He has ever been ready with a helping hand or a word of encouragement to the fellow who was downhearted and discouraged and we have never found him too busy with his own work to stop and h(dp someone else. N( v(;r forward or overbearing but always carrying himself with a modest, unassinriing manner, Mr. Tinsley has been a fine example to us and wo iiikc, this opportunity of expressing our appreciation for all that he has donc for us and of wishing him all tli(5 joy and success that life can possibly hold for him.

8 MlD-YEAR ANNUAL GEORGE M. BAIN. Glee Club ' 15, ' 151 2, ' 16; Basket Ball Sub ' 14, ' 16; Senior Play ' 16; Undergraduate Club ' 15, ' 151 2, ' 16, ' 161 2. Here we have one of the class long boys. When he was a freshman George was about on a par with the rest of us but since that time he has sprung to a height that few of us will ever reach. Bain is a happy-go- lucky sort of chap and if there is any way to get out of some work and he doesn ' t find it there is something wrong. George is also athletically inclined and is some gun at baseball and basket ball. We are also informed that he sometimes shoots a little pool. How about it, George? Taking hini all in all, Bain is a swell fellow and we are all glad to have him in our class. Get a divorce from Lady Fatima, George. W. IMARCUS BAKER. A. L. A.

Here we have the fellow with the unlimited nerve. Anybody that has the nerve to wear a black derby and a high straight collar to the L. B. H. S. has nerve enough to do anything. Bake is one of those fellows who (kjcsn ' t say much as long as things are going along to suit him but when they start the other way, watch out. Bake, like soinc of 1h( rest of us, has fallen for the Hawaiian music, and he spends a good deal of Ills lime willi liis dknlch ' . do I0 i1, l iik ' , we ' re for yon. .Ml:
