Foreword OIF in the years to come, on some dreary, rainy day when you are delving into your treasures of mementoes, you should come across this book, and, glancing through it, smile and forget yourself and your surroundings in the atmosphere of your old high school days; if you can feel that we have truly reflected the thrills and pangs, the laughs and tears, the joys and sorrows of your high school life; if you can be translated from the real- ities of middle age into the dreams of youth; if, for a moment, you shall feel once more the thrill, the infinite and un- explained dread of your Commencement night, — then will our efforts be re- warded and this work prove a grand success — and achievement of our pur- pose.

' ' ' — ' Hosennidl ' On Leaving the Old High School Building Goodbye — old pal — goodbye, I say it with a sigh. With a tear in my heart I take my final depart, But your memory will I cherish ' Till my very soul shall perish. Your foundation may not stand With the last in the land; But the deeds you have done. The battles you have won. The men you have made And set up in trade. Will forever carry on — • Your memory will never be gone. The old gives way to the new. The new, of different shapes and hue. To larger rooms and halls, To greater tasks and calls. Fate leads us from a pal; Obey we must, and shall. But with a heavy heart We play our part And leave this friend so true. For the old must yield unto the new. We leave this ancient sere. This place to us so dear; So it ' s goodbye — old pal — goodbye. We say it with a sigh. Goodbye — old pal — goodbye. Announce it with clarion high; Call forth the pals of yore. Let them come forth once more. Enter again the castle walls. Trod once more the sacred halls, Look again in familiar places. Meet once more the friendly faces. Make a grand and jubilant time. Sing once more in loyal rhyme. Tell the tales of time gone by. But keep back the tearful eye. Sing to our Alma Mater That ' s soon to yield to a greater. Theodore Dann Page Twelve
