X, Arriving near to our goal, the trail's end i JP ij' ff l fi' F3-il - M Yet at the trail's end We only finish to begin Remember ending one trail four years ago That trail completing our grammar school. Yes, 'tis true, most of us, as a usual rule, Thought we had about reached the end, No! Fo ryet on that course to travel, just so, Was over the trail of trails P.H.S. to go. Remember how proud we were the first day We entered school as a class of freshmen. No doubt to the disgust of upperclassmen Was our entering on that memorable day. As tempore fied we learned what to say- X X X x xy And as freshmen we had our part to play. Sophisticated sophomores, proudly said We When We were no longer known as freshies. Gee, but to us that brings many memories Of that part of the trail called sophie No more. no more would we travel like a freshie- But as sophomores with assuming dignity. Traversing on that trail we came in time To that part known as fearless juniors. This trail was strife with stern seniors, But to them we gave a banquet most line We, as the host, our guest came to dine- i And merry was that evening in springtime. Xl X . In this part, seniors, we yet do contend 5 We seniors have only finished to begin. N All our faulty steps may we partly amend With the gift of love we hereby extend- To the school, the teachers, our friend. On another trail, the trail of our future Perchance now and then We'll meet again, And somehow or other we shall feel akin. May We carry with us on the Way, culture, A sterling character of will and virtueg We seniors 1926 of P.H.S., our Alma Mater. ' GEORGE DENNIS X N Q jr x5-'

l X I. MISS BONNIE E.lKERR Senior Class Sponsor Miss Kerr is a graduate of P. H. S., she received her A.B. de- gree from Marietta College, her M.A. in the French School of Middlebury College. For some years Miss Kerr has sponsored the affairs of the Senior Classes. Only those who have been intimately connected with this work have any idea what a task this is. In compensation for the direction of meetings, plan- ning of parties, distribution of a thousand and one minor necessi- ties, you find printed on some- thing , way down in the corner somewhere', the name, Miss Kerr, Senior Class Sponsor. We, the May Class of '26, wish- ing to contribute a mite of the compensation due her, do there- fore oHer our sincere thanks and gratitude to her. MISS SARA R. SMITH Advisor to the Parischan Staf Miss Smith is also a graduate of our own Alma Mater. She se- cured her A.B. degree at Ran- dolph Macon Womans' College, and her M.A. at Columbia lniver- sity. This is only Miss Smitl1's second semester at the helm of the Par- hischan, but. its development stands as impregnable proof of her capability. Success of this sort is to be expected, because Miss Smith believes in putting heart and soul into the undertaking and rightly expects those working with her to do the same. It is fitting therefore, that the May '26 Senior Class take this opportunity to acknowledge its obligation to Miss Smith and proffer to her its hearty thanks. 11. 4 f- Z!! l , Z ,
