to grind, prompted action that was afterward-; regretted. We know both the Principal and Superintendent to be men with whom such acts find no permission or encouragement. We hope Ishpeming High School will take some definite action regarding the future, so that athletic relations may be resumed. Proper supervision should handle the situation easily. The Senior Class of 1919 has been a credit to the institution. They have made sacrifices this year that have never been asked be- fore and we are glad to take this opportunity to express apprecia- tion for extra curricu ' ar work, for which they have received no credit, and for a universal feeling of falling in with many plans that have clipped prerogatives here and there. They have made the Echo possible as presented. It was originally intended to be an ur assuming paper of four sheets. More money has been spent on one issue than was subscribed for the four. This has been due to their pep and salesmanship. It is appreciated. In conclusion, to the Seniors, may you continue as you have commenced , to carry on . The alumni have become interested in the school this year as never before, the townspeople and business men have backed our school enterprises financially. Next year it remains for us to put forth even greater efforts than we have in the past, so that we can •accomplish even greater results. — C. C. Strickland.

CLASS OF ' 19 When we started on our journey, In September of ' 15, We had a ship of stoutest wood, And a crew, the best e ' er seen. For four long years we sailed the deep, But our first year was the best; For we were ardent Freshmen then, And our lives were filled with zest. The other ships just passed us by, For we were fresh they said, And ere a month away should fly, Our ambition would be dead. We passed the Isles of Pleasures, And the Ports of Worry too. We passed the Bay of Study Where monthly tests did grow. Next we refreshed our memories, In the calm old Bay of Review And then we sailed to the Land of Exams., Where those dreadful red F ' s grew. But now our journey is ended; Our pleasures and troubles are o ' er, And now with joy unbounded, We behold our dear home shore. To you oh dear old N. H. S., We bid a fond farewell, May you in all the years to come, Succeed and prosper well. Then here ' s to our superintendent, Our principal and faculty too ; It ' s to them Ave owe our heartfelt thanks For they helped to put us through. — Lucile C. Reich el.
