Moreover most of our brave boys who were then defending us abroad on land and sea are home again. In regard to the World War Veterans we say: “Cheers for the living, tears for the dead!” —S SALUTATORY We, the class of 1919, wish to take this opportunity of extending to you our greetings. We also desire to thank our teachers, the school officials and all others, who have had our interest at heart. It seems but yesterday when we first entered the doors of our school.
