'Ji IQ: V To THE CLAss or 1923: I wish to commend and to congratulate you as a Class on the good record you have made and for your spirit of cooperation and devotion to the ideals of the school. May God speed you as you leave us to accept the larger responsibilities which lie just ahead, and may the following lines serve to inspire you with an appreciation of the real values in life :- To live as gently as I can 3 To have no secret place wherein I stoop unseen to shame or sing To be the same when I'm alone To be, no matter where, a mang To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor stillg As when my every deed is knowng To live undaunted, unafraid Of any step that I have madeg To be without pretense or sham Exactly what men think I am. To do my best, and let that stand The record of my brain and handg , And then, should failure come to me, Still work and hope for victory. H To leave some simple mark behind To keep my having lived in mind, If enmity to aught I show To be an honest, generous foe, To play my little part, nor whine That greater honors are not mine. This, I believe, is all I need For my philosophy and creed. JANET M. PURDUE, Dean 11 t'-- .....-,, F nga '

' 43? -...N N TSX- April 27, 1923. CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE: The Class of Nineteen Twenty-three early showed good old-fashioned common sense by choosing conscientious and able leaders and then backing them up. This has resulted in a class united-a class strong in spirit and accomplishments and a class with responsibility and judgment developed to a high degree. Considering these facts I recall that what we are fo be we are now beco1i1z-ing, so the start that you have made in old New Haven High augurs well for yourselves and the com- munities which you may serve in the years just ahead of you. The Class has my best wishes in full measure. ' C. L. ICIRSCH NER, Principal. 10
