Tllli M. H. S. ANNUAL. Class Song. RED AND BLUE. ROBERT ALLAN SQUIRE . Red and Blue, dear and true, From thee we part forever. Four years have swiftly passed, And we niust now dissever. Firm are the friendships We've formed in thy halls Ne'er will we break them, whatever befalls. Still we now bid farewell, Red and Blue. dear and true, Farewell. On this class look thy last, Few are the hours remaining. Soon we'll be far away, Memories sweet retaining. We, nineteen hundred, have faithfully done, Try to do likewise, class of nineteen-one. Cherish our benediction. M. H. S., red and blue, Farewell.

, 6 THE M. H. S. ANNUAL. Salulalory. ROBERT ALLAN SQUIRE. - N accordance with a custom long established in the Colleges and High Schools of our country, we have come before you to-day to make our last appearance as members of the Meri- den High School. Four years, long in passing but short in retrospect, we have spent acquiring knowledge in languages, mathematics, sciences, and literature, but even if we do not further pursue these studies, our education is indeed not complete, for never shall we cease to learn as long as We live. As our school life draws to a close, We may well look with seriousness into the uncertainty of the future. But, as we have been guarded in the past by Divine Providence, let us commit ourselves to His protection, now that the time has come for us to enter separately upon paths for many less sheltered than those We are leaving, and to face the duties and responsibilities that life must inevitably bring. We Welcome you, friends, who are here to listen to our exer- cises to-day, and we highly appreciate your interest in our Welfare. We Welcome you, Superintendent and Members of the Board of Education, who have at heart the interests of our school and have helped to make it a prosperous institution. We welcome you, teachers, who have guided us through difficulties, insurmountable without your assistance. We welcome you, under-graduates, who will remain in the school after our departure. Be ever faithful to your teachers and studies. Have your aim high. Do your best to live up to the standard which we have tried to hold before our eyes, and which our motto suggests, Cum Progressu Eunfesfl And now, friends, let me present to you my classmates, a few of whom will address you this afternoon. May they succeed on this occasion and always. We bespeak for them the kindly attention of which your presence here gives promise. !
