r VsW £ M T I‘T’ Es (22) Greetings I “With earnest hope this book is offered you. Loose not your tongue in hasty words of blame For many faults. A heavy care it came. In justice, then, give us our humble due. Cherish this book, though novel scenes you view Tn distant lands and far. Its tones proclaim To loyal classmates true, our High School’s fame. If it, perchance, fond memories renew, When glancing o’er its pages; if you find Therein some thought of pleasure to thy mind Of high school days and friends, of solace sweet When shrouding cares thy life’s clear purpose blind, And aching tears do to thy worn lids start,— Then will this hook its highest purpose meet.’’ “Lest Ym Forget97 The golden age of our life is almost over; a few more weeks and the school we love will know our step no more. The time i- hastening on when we will stand for the last time as a class before the assembly of our friends. The French have a proverb which reads, “To part is to die a little”. We feel the tnith of that now as we realize that our high school life is almost at an end. We are going to part with well loved friends; with teachers who have so faithfully helped us; with all the familiar surroundings of our school life. We do not want you who follow us, in whose care we leave the traditions of our school, to forget us. That what we have done and been, you shall not forget, we have made this record of our last year with you. Our high school life has been full of happiness and now we are doing our last labor of love for the school organization of which we are a part but which is far greater than all of us. We want this to be our greatest, best work. Only too well do we know how far short of our aims we have fallen in this; we do not condone its faults hut ask that you take it in the spirit in which it is offered, as a memorial of our happy days in the I. H. S. May this book, to you who will be far from the old school, be a remembrance of all I. II. S. stands for, so that in remembering us you will continue to carry on, and play a square, clean game as Ironwood lias taught you. To you who will follow us and take our place in the school, may this annual he an inspiration to serve the school and support the principles of true sportsmanship for which it stands. If such prove true, we can leave for the larger, harder field, cheered by the thought that our work is done. Lest ye forget, here is our Hematite. Page Six
