THE CHRONICLE IX. eye; but we must, wo shall, overcome the monsters, and, with the help of those who have gone before us, whose glorious example shall beckon us ever on, and guide our feet along the way of right, we shall press forward, undaunted, towards our goal, not wordly wealth, but a fortune in character and soul. Florence Rich ’22 CLASS GIFT Tn former years, the Seniors have given to the school some appropriate picture. The Graduating Class this year, wishing to be a little distinctive, presents to the High School a bust of one of the greatest Americans of all time, he late ex-president Roosevelt. We are making this gift with the hope that all who gaze upon his likeness may be filled with that same feeling of patriotism that ran through his veins. This great man stood for the highest ideals of American manhood and womanhood. Let all undergraduates of this school and all people who behold it revere his memory and endeavor to live up to the standards set bv America’s greatest man, Theodore Roosevelt. Nohrdell Post ’22 GIFT OF BOOSTER AND COLLEGE CLUBS The State flag of Connecticut was formally adopted by the General Assembly in 1897. Yet how many of us are familiar with it, or know its history and its origin ? Its colors are blue and white, symbolic of truth and purity. The background is of deep, azure blue, emblazoned in the center of which is the State seal. The seal, as you see, has three grape vines, representing the three original colonies of Connecticut—Hartford, Windsor, and Wethersfield. Beneath the vines is the State motto, “Qui transtulit sustinet.” This Latin inscription is a survival of the Nutmeg State’s Colonial banner and, freely translated, means, “lie who brought us over sustains us.” These words show to us the undauting faith of the early settlers of our State and should serve as an inspiration to every true citizen of Connecticut. Tonight, the members of the Booster and College Clubs, though distinct organizations, are proud to take advantage of the opportunity offered to show that we are, nevertheless, one in our loyalty to our class and to our school. It is this very loyalty on the part of so many of the student body that, has enabled us to raise the necessary funds for our gift. We are glad to present to our school this State llag, in the hope that it may ever serve to inspire those who follow us with the spirit of service, of self-sacrifice, of patriotism.
