SYMPATHY It is a cause of earnest regret to us that two of our classmates have been forced by illness to leave school. We allhope that both Lola and Evelyn will be re- stored to good health. To Mr. Noack we wish to express our sympathy for his loss, the death of Mrs. Noack. To die is landing on some silent shore, Where billows never break, nor tempests roarg Ere well we feel the friendly stroke, 'tis o'er. We extend our sympathy to Freda Rhinevault, Edna Fish, Morgan Watkins, Mary, Margaret, and Willard Clarey, in the loss of their fathers, and to Elmer and Arthur Clink in the loss of their sister, Marion. We offer our sincere sympathy to the mother and family of Milton Birchard. His passing leaves in our class and our hearts a space which can never be filled. More moderate gifts migght have prolonged his date, Too early fitted for a better state. Our Alma Mater's praise we sing, our love and homage true, We pledge to her our loyalty, and try our best to do All that she's taught us through the years We've sat beneath her rule. Those glorious days! Those happy days! Our own Montrose High School. And when we leave her Halls of Fame, and friends we've chanced to meet, We still hold in our memories' chain those hours to us so sweet, We love each class room, stair and hall, Each desk and window, too. Whereler our path of life may call, To her we will be true. Guide ever on the steps of Youth to Faith and Truth and Light. And others with thy dear name praise, and do with all their might. S0 shall the coming years proclaim Thy virtue ne'er grow less- From North to South, from East to West Our dear, old M. H. S. Beverley Cooley '27 14

l- 4 , Yv- Mcssagc From Qui' Principal Some time ago an article appeared in the New York Herald Tribune under the caption Only Saps Work. The writer of the article, Sophie Kerr, gave these words as the motto of many people who are panhandling a good livelhiood from the kindhearted and credulous public. Apparent distress is sufficient cause for us to give for its relief. Fortunately, the number of persons whose minds have slipped so far in self-respect are few,-so few that the public has not lost its faith in people. An evidence of this continued desire to relieve worthy people in distress is seen in the number of societies organized for such work and the vast sums of money voluntarily given for relief. These societies cover the entire country like a network. They may be local or national. They are supported by voluntary contributions. The cases helped may range from an orphan child to a million drought sufferersg from a family that has lost its home by iire to a countryside swept by a tornado. In our local community, we have many such organizations. The Chil- dren's Aid Society and the Red Cross cover much of the county in their activ- ities. The latter has recently made a drive for funds to aid sufferers in the cen- tral west. The King's Daughtersf an organization of women, does very much to re- lieve distress among our local people. Without the blare of trumpets these women have brought cheer and comfort into many homes. These and other societies are teaching in a practical way the great prin- ciple enunciated by the Nazarene that the whole world is kin and that man is his brother's keeper. FRANK A. FREAR T
