XXIV. THE CHRONICLE. (Elaas Sag Numbers PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS We, the class of 1918, extend you a cordial welcome. Four years have now passed since we entered the high school. During this time we have spent many pleasant days, around which the fondest memories will ever cling and of which we can only think with a tear of regret that they have passed so soon. Our first three years were spent in hard work, yet we had plenty of time for play; many little incidents taking place which we shall remember for many years to come. The dawn of our fourth year found our beloved country at war. Then, with true patriotism, our work and our play together carried with them the effect of our love and admiration for the Stars and Stripes, that dear emblem of liberty, fraternity and equality. Like the rose, life is full of thorns. Yet if we try hard their needle points can be avoided. So, let us enjoy these last few hours while we still have them with us; let us see if we cannot make this night the happiest of our high school course. Friends, you who have taken such an interest in our work, to you these exercises may recall the time when you passed thru the same ordeal. We ask you then to hear us patiently and criticize charitably while we endeavor to amuse you; for our only wish is that you may be amply repaid for your attendance and attention. Should you find a few grains, worthy of note, we trust you will be liberal with your admiration. We know no words which would emphasize too strongly our indebtedness to you who conferred upon us the honor of being the first class to graduate from this beautiful building. No matter into what stage of Life we enter now or later, we shall always look back with pride and thankfulness to the taxpayers whose generosity and the committee whose diligence made the building of this school possible. Again, the class extends its most hearty and sincere welcome to all who have assembled to witness the program for the evening. Welcome parents, teachers, friends, thrice welcome, is the greeting of the class of 1918. Cyril Cass ’i8 CLASS HISTORY “Backward, turn backward O Time, in thy flight ” The class of 1918 asks you to turn back to the many and illustrious events of four fleeting years. One wonderful September morning of the year 1914 a troop, one hundred twenty-nine strong, we climbed to the dear old building on the hill. Filled to the brim with excitement, we took our places as Freshmen sqprcely noticed by our sister class, the Juniors, or their majesties, the Seniors. In fact, we were quite free from annoyances throughout the year in that we had the building practically to ourselves from one to four-thirty in the afternoon. Having no one to lead us into mischief, we passed through this first year— a model class. Our social and class affairs were so few that we found no necessity for class organization.
