The Class of Well may the faculty be proud of this Class of 1916, for it forms the bone and sinew of the school. Students of any High School may be said to pass through four stages, but the Senior Class of 1916! My heart fails—my brain reels when I think of its glory! It is the perfect blossom—in the prime of condition. And, aside from mental superiority, this class cxcells in many other things. In our ranks are found only the beautiful and the strong. I need only refer to the graceful movements of the agile Stuppy, or the slow, stately strides of the precise Kimmet, and the intellectual look of Dorsch. But, gentle reader, there are girls in this class, girls with mature minds in young heads. Only in this, the senior class is the most perfect type of womanhood to be found. But why should we not have great minds when we have ac¬ complished instructors to sharpen our wits? We have politi¬ cians with us—those who differ on the question of municipal ownership. We do not feel vain or conceited because of our marked superiority. We are content to know that if at any time our True Gold superintendent or principal should leave, that we have in our midst those who are able to shoulder the responsibility of the whole school. We know this because “We have never set our¬ selves over against ourselves to look at ourselves to see what we were about.” Every member of this class has some peculiar individuality to distinguish it from the common herd. Choose as you will—all are fair illustrations. But no one save a mem¬ ber of the class itself could describe it fittingly. You have only to look upon our noble forms, our Delsartian grace of movement to realize this. But space is failing. We must pass on. I o all future senior classes, we would say: “Take us for your model; walk in our footsteps, be like us as nearly as you can, and ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.’ ” “Live in hopes, and some day you, too may be great. And before you look on the annals of the Class of 1916 of the Lowell High School as a sealed page, we wish to bow our thanks to the high school itself for moulding our talent and ability into true greatness. —Bertha Bess.
