SOMANHTS EVENTS 21 CLASS SONG,1923 After four years of work and fun, At last comes our Commencement Eve. We think of the good times we've had In this school we are about to leave; And, as we bid a fond farewell To this dear old High School Hall, Wie wish we might repeat these days And once again enjoy them all. Now as we are about to go Into a life so strange and new, A breath of sadness, Schoolmates dear, Is felt as we are leaving you; But someday we shall meet again, And though we know not where or when, The Spirit of old Twenty-three Will be revived in us again. CHORUS This night marks the end of many happy days, We have spent with our classmates here. We cannot help but feel a little sorrowful As we part from our friends so d ear. But, it’s not as though our ways would never meet again; For surely our paths will cross someday, And what seems the end is only the beginning. Twenty-three will show its loyalty for aye! Words and music by Robert Dexter ‘23. IVY ORATION Undergraduates: As the time for graduation draws near, and the class of ’23 must go out and join the ever increasing ranks of the Alumni, it is with mingled joy and sorrow that we bid you farewell. During our four years in high school it has been our endeavor to uphold the standards of S. M. H. S. in school work, in our organizations, and in ath- letics. The Student Council, the Glee Club, Debating Club and Hi-Y have been put to the test and have proved their worth. The progress that we have made in athletics needs hardly to be mentioned. Our basketball teams have carried the Red and White through a highly successful season while the work of our baseball and track teams has been very favorable. In looking backward, however, we can see instances where, as a group and as individuals, we have fallen short of the mark. Many among us, if we were to repeat our high school career, would probably do differently. That chanc e to us is lost, but to you, who are to remain, we give this word of ad- vice. Never forget what you are in school for, and see to it that when you stand where we are standing you have no such regrets. It may seem hard at times, but having set your standard, work for it. The reward is well worth striving’ for.
