. ... . -14' Mimemw ','5 'Z?i an y -35 THE CLASS OF '26 Farewell to thee, dear M. H. S., The school we love the very best, Out in the world we soon shall start, And from you now we have to part. Good-bye, dear class. For four short years we've worked together thro' joys and fears To reach that goal, which brings us fame, For honors in a. higher plain. Here's to Ben, who's always polite, Teasing girls is his sole delight. Oh, yes! Raw, the one that is quiet, Just suppose he had to diet. There comes mischevious, redeheaded Mae, Doesn't like work, would rather play, Hello, Steve, with your smiles and curlsg He's never seen flirting with girls-fnitlj Here's to Katy with smiling ways, A smile an a nod always pays. Where is Bush with his stay-comb hair? Just must have his feet on a chair-iEnglish classy Over there's Norsey writing notes, Thinking always of riding on boats: And Rufus, who is liked by all Shows his skill playing basketball. And there's Mabel who works so well, But always listens for the bell. Here's to Rat, also known as Mus, Must have his fun or he might bust. Hurry up, for here comes Jo, The one that pulls your hair, you know! VVhat did you say? Where has Wilma been? Just practicing the Charleston again. Do be quiet, for lands sakes, Pete! For that's nothing to have big feet. Fond memories of you, dear class, With your joys and pleasures pastg In years to come, we'll think of you, Dear ones, and only feel mighty blue.

He had no wife and children, so from morning to night he labored in the orchards. Finally, after several years the good man became tired of living aloneg so he set out in search of a companion. Soon after, as he was walking along the foot of a mountain, he saw a bear which had looks that seemed to be gentle and kind instead of savage and ferocious. This bear was also tired of living alone and was also out hunting for a friend. As soon as the old man and the bear saw each other they began to have a warm friendship for one another. After passing some compliments they decided to go live together, amd so they returned to the garden and orchard of the old man to live. At length the bond of friendship became very secureg insomuch that when the old man grew tired of work and would lie down for a nap, the bear, because of affection, would stay close by him to keep away the mosquitoes. One day as the old man lie down to sleep in the shade of a tree, and the bear stood by as usual to keep away the mosquitoes, it happened that one persisted in alighting upon the old man's face one time after another. The bear grew angry at the mosquito and picked up a stone to kill it. Upon letting it fiy, it is true he did, kill the mosquito, but at the same time. he knocked out some of the old man's teeth. Moral: It is better to have a prudent enemy than an ignorant friend. HAROLD KELLER. EDITORIALS A level head will not get you far unless you have an even temper to back it up. The man of science approaches every subject for investigation with as open a mind as he can present-an open, not an empty mind. In that open are certain fixed convic- tions. First of all, that we live in an orderly universe whose laws are ascertainable, and are never suspended. He regards reason as the tool with which he pries truth from under its shell. He insists upon evidence, and refuses to go beyond evidence as to fact. He is willing to use a hypothesis or a theory, but is ready to surrender each at the first challenge of a fact. He has a decided modesty in saying I know. It is reverence that rounds life out to the full circle of perfectiong reverence for selfg reverence for others, reverence for that which is above us. The reverential life is the only life that moves upward. Constellations attend its path, the stars light it by night, the sun by day. There is a shining something within, around, above to which admiration, aspiration, emulation attach themselves. Admiration goes out and the power that makes for growth comes in. We grow to the height and dimensions of what we reverence. If we fail to appreciate imperfect friends or chums, how can they appreciate us? WVe may be strong where they are weak, while they may only scorn the temptation which seems almost irresistible to us. If you think of the strong points of your friends and emulate them, very likely they will be profiting by your good points at the same time. ' Stand with a man that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong. QA. LJ The man who is worth while, never quits. Force is of no use to make or preserve a friend, --11926-'sl '
