THE JUNIOR ECHO Page Twenty-five Charge to the Juniors O-DAY, we, the class of l925, are leaving Ontario High T School, glad that we have finally reached the goal for which we have been striving for four long years. But ....... now that we have reached it we are reluctant to leave. During these four years spent in high school we have had our grievances, won the friendship of some and the hatred of others. But today we hope that those differences will be forgotten, for the time at least. As the members of the class go out and make their way in this world, each and every one of us will look back upon the days spent in Ontario High as the happiest days in our lives. Juniors, it is my pleasant duty to leave in your care this won- derful key of knowledge which we received from the illustrious class of '24. We have been so successful from following the advice they gave us, as to its use, that we wish you to have its benefits also. We hope that you will make as wise use of it as we have in unlock- ing the storehouse of knowledge, and that you may thereby bring honor to yourselves and to your school. Take this key and notice the colors of former classes that have been helped greatly by using it. Each group of colors signifies that a certain class has been the possessor of this key. We sincerely hope that you may be benefited by it as have the people before you. l wish to compliment you for being so attentive to this address. One does not often find children that are able to listen understand- ingly to such profound instructions. But I suppose you had hope of learning something both wise and helpful from us before we leave. That is a wise idea. Always follow your superiors and you will not go far astray! May you realize, the distinction, the influence and the power of your example. Seek to uphold the dignity of a senior class. Turn your class spirit into channels really helpful to the school. Pledge yourselves to pass this key on with the same high ideals as those which bring it to you. Now l wish you the greatest success in your senior year and after life.
