' - v .... ,ig Good-Bye N ow that all the preliminaries of grad- uation, such as ordering rings and pins, consulting dressmakers and telling what gifts you would like, are disposed of, nothing remains but to take our Regents, and-graduate. Since Regents are such trivial matters when compared with the kind of gift we want for graduation, we feel that there is nothing left but the most pleasant and at the same time the most distasteful task of all, to say good-bye. Shall we say the usual thing, that we can never repay our teachers and friends for all they have done for us, and that we shall never forget the happy days spent in the Manual Training High School? How much better to omit the words and to prove by our deeds when we have left school how much we honor and thank our Alma Mater for all she has given us! After all, words are easily spoken and more easily forgotten, deeds are the more permanent proof of our gratitude. And so with the promise to try our best in everything and to accomplish our tasks according to the highest ideals we know, -that is how the class of june, 1923, would express its appreciation and thanks. The Girl Senior Reviews the Past It seems almost superhuman, but could you possibly go back to the day four or five years ago, that first saw you honor- Twen t y-:ix ing this school with your presence? Can you review with me the time spent, and the events that occurred, in those four years? Does your mind permit such a task? It does! Let's go! When we gentle creatures of the weaker sex entered Manual we came in by the back door, so to speak. It was in the Annex that we Hrst saw the dawn of a high school education. All our subjects and the method of injecting them into our craniums were new to us. The most popular club in the Annex was the Literary Club. For proof, ex- amine the Senior records. However, we enjoyed ourselves there, and what nobler purpose could any club serve? Don't think by all this that the girls were the' only freshmen. Far from it, but of the boys I can say nothing. Let them speak for themselves-and they do, much too freely and unnecessarily. Now for the Sophomore term. Know- est thou the meaning of the word? It is wise young fools. To use the vernacu- lar, Webster said a mouthful. We cer- tainly thought we were wise, and quite likely, we acted like fools. That term, double session was introduced-O Double Session, what crimes are committed in thy name! In those days we were ambi- tious, and took as many as five subjects a week. Now we are brilliant if we take three. Another summer passed and again we returned to school. How different we
