For the first time in the history of our high school, a senior class will go to the national capitol to visit the numerous places of inter¬ est, and to take in the neighboring sights. Of the educational value of this trip, little need be said. We all realize its vast importance; and we feel assured that the seniors will enter upon their journey with the spirit of one who wishes to get as much knowledge as possible out of the places he visits, and to impart it to others if ever called upon to do so, in an intelligent and correct manner. This is the first time that any of the senior class have ever been to Wash¬ ington, and perhaps it will be the last, so therefoie, it behooves them to make the most of their present opportunity. They have the best wishes of the entire school on this trip.
8 OAK, LILY AND IVY. The senior class wish to take this opportunity to thank the principal, teach¬ ers and friends of the school who have aided them in their entertainments and in this manner made it possible for them to execute their much cherished idea of going to Washington. In all their entertainments the seniors were given generous support, and they are deeply grateful to those who co-operated with them to achieve their endeav¬ ors, and the support accorded them will serve to stimulate them on to greater effort in the line of entertaining when they return to the High school in the spring term. No doubt no month in the year appeals more strongly to the American people than the month of February, for in this memorable month, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the two most famous characters in the his¬ tory ol our country, and the two men who did the most for our beloved nation, first saw the light of day. Although their positions in life were vastly different, although their characteristics were not the same, each, in a terrible crisis of our nation’s history, was called upon to guide her through a terrible state of affairs. Washington freed our country from the bondage of the English, and after¬ ward laid its foundation as a free country. But Lincoln’s time also came. When many years later, the nation was on the point of being dissolved, Lincoln, by his wisdom and prudence, saved the Union from disruption and the terrible disgrace of slavery. Washington was dignified in manner and in appearance and liked pomp; Lincoln was modest, and very simple in mode of life. Of the two, Washington had the better education, and thus with less effort rose to great prominence. But in the history of the world, there is no story which is so full of perseverance and patience as the life of Lincoln. With but a little schooling, received in the backwoods, left at an early age to fight his way into the world, he entered into life with a light heart and firm step, mounted the ladder of fame slowly but steadily, meeting and casting aside all obstacles that be¬ set his path with a calmness and serenity that lasted until his death. Of the great men of all times, none were greater than these two, and at their death the United States lost two of her greatest citizens.
