S. as Seniors full pledged leaders of con- duct in the halls and in the assembly. We cannot help but regret that our happy days spent here, will soon be ended. We again organized our class, electing Ancil Ayres, president, and Russell Flora,secretary-treasurer, This year seemed very short and pleasant to us and we are already in thelast few days and weeks preceeding the Com- mencement, Taking everything in con- sideration,we feel confident that there never was a better looking Senior class than that of '27. We had a very ex- citing time Friday,April 8, as we Seniors had our pictures taken by Carl Mc- Donald from Indianapolis. As the day of days draws near when we shall receive our diplomas as fitting rewards for unceasing toil over note- books and numerous encounters with brance--some tokens by which you may refresh your memory of these happy days. Accordingly I have been asked to select' and present to you these little gifts. It has not been an easy matter to select them any more than for your friends to select your birthday or Christmas gifts. Butl have done the best I could. I have endeavored to choose gifts that are symbolical of your life in this school. I sincerely hope you will be pleased with them. Some people place their faith in mankind, some in clothes, some in one thing and some in another. Elva Doug- ,las has lots of faith so I present this clothes pin that she may pinit to what- ever she wishes. Voyle Shelburn is most eager to at- tain to man's estate and hirsute adorn- ment of his upper lip is one thing most desired. Perhaps t.his may answer the purpose until nature is kind enough to present him with one. Lee Voorhees is an ardent lover of 1.4 'F Physics dragons, we look forward into sweet thirgs.

They will find use for them evenings in the park or in the parlor when lights are low. In closingl wish to say that I hope you will make good use of these gifts, or that you will treasure them through the future years. My parting wish for you is that there may be many happy years in store for you.
