There have been some of our old friends leave us, and into our ranks have come some new ones. We have worked hard and played hard during these four years Hsome of us more than others, perhaps, but all have tried to do their share. Now we find, with a feeling of sorrow and regret, that these happy days have come to an end. We are leaving our friends here and are going out into a world in which we must face the uncertainty and doubt we know the future holds. But before we go, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the members of our school board and faculty for the help and consolation they have given us, and our kindest wishes go to the other members of our school, to whom we would like to will these few things which have made our stay here more happy. To you juniors, we would like to leave for your next year, all the joys and sorrows that being Seniors has held for us-joys you may experience as upper classmen and sor- rows you will meet when it comes time for you to leave next spring. To you Sophomores, we would like to will all the fun and enjoyment that we de- rived from our junior year. Our junior play, june Mad, and especially our junior- Senior Banquet were experiences we shall never forget. And to you Freshmen, we would like to will three more glorious years in our school, and may you make the most of them and enjoy them as we have done. -THE SENIOR CLASS. I 16 Il
