Page Eighteen The A arm IDith Apologies to Lincoln OURSCCRE minus seventy-one years ago our School Board brought forth on West Main Street a new High School, conceived in loyalty and dedicated to the proposition that all students are equal. Now we are engaged in a four-year course, testing whether that course or any course will ever do us any harm. We are met by the teachers at the ninth hour. We have come to dedicate our never-dying fame as an inspiration for those who come later, that our High School might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that the Freshmen should know this. But, in a larger sense, it is hard to leave, we cannot leave, but we must leave—this school. Our brave class-mates, flunking and passing, who have struggled here, have made grades far above our Faculty’s power to add or to substract. The world will little note nor long remember what we have accomplished here, but it can never forget that we were here. It is for us the passing, rather to graduate here and leave no unfinished work which we have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task set before us—that from these honored graduates we are taking increased interest, for the cause for which they gave their last full measure of spirit; that we here highly resolve that these graduates shall not have graduated in vain; that this school under the Faculty, shall have another graduating class and that the spirit of the students, by the students, for the students shall cause M .H. S. not to perish from the earth. —The Seniors Thanatipsis So live, that when thou must kick the bucket” Thou shall not have a sore “toe forever. And walk to that mysterious bar where each shall take To his chamber in the noisy hall of (Hinkey Dinks) (Two mugs of Edelwiese) saloon Thou go not, like a soldier but like a drunken fool To thy gutter to lay down, like one adorned with hoof prints of a mule Wraps his battle-ladden coat around him. And enjoys the starry dreams. —Smith-Isaacson
