A GREAT SPEECH lBY A GIFTED SENIOR Four score and seven years ago Cit seems that longj our fathers brought us to this school, which was conceived in knowledge and dedicated to the proposition that all kids should work. We are now engaged in a great struggle, testing whether we, or any other dummies, may long endure the final examina- tions. We are met in a great assembly room for that struggle. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final Cnot examb resting place for those who here gave their best thots that knowledge might live. It is altogether in accordance with Mr. Weaver's rules that we should do this. But in a larger sense we dedicate-we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this room. The brave students, passed and not passed, who strug- gled here have consecrated it far beyond our poor power to add or subtract Carithmeticl. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but its people can never for- get that they flunked here. It is rather for us, the living, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who flunked here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the exams. remaining before us, that these N. Ps. shall not have failed in vain. We here highly resolve that this school, under Mr. Weaver, shall have a new birth of knowledge, that the exams. of the studies, by the teachers, and for the students shall not perish from this High. WHAT is THE WORLD? The Senior:- The world is but a ball To all- High, Foot, Basket or Base- To chaseg Billiard or golf, codiish or puff, Marked, Saltatory, smooth or rough: Foul, fair or slow, or high or low, Hot grounder, or just plain old snow- It's a ball-that's all.
