THE PAPYRUS '23 DEDICATION .-P. H. s.- His good blades carves the casques of men, His trough lance thrusteth sure, His strength is as the strength of ten, Because his heart is pure. To the one of whom this is so truly spoken-we lovingly dedicate this book. We have received benefits from him since we first knew him and have appreciated them, always, but the opportunities for showing our appreciation have been rare, indeed. We have so little that is worthy, and he has given so much! Fatherly advice, brotherly advice, Christian advice and friendly advice have all stamped themselves upon the minds and char- acters of many members of the graduating class. It wasn't far away, commanding advice, but near, and warm, and interested, the kind that we know came from genuine regard. Not only does he advise us but he also shows us by example. He practises what he preaches. He reads broadly -good fiction, newspapers, and his Bible, with hopes of influencing us to do so. He farms, thinks and acts modernly, insofar as it is good. Farther than that he does not go and exerts every ounce of his power fto keep anyone else from going. We owe much to all the teachers, we know, for the instruction, the oppor- tunities and the ambitions they have given us, but we owe especial tribute to Mr .Ellsworth because he has given us what no one else could. He has given the human touch to every recitation. He teaches history, and we cer- tainly learn it, but whatever other subject occurs is not turned down or deferred until a later time. When we need talk we get it. When a subject lends itself to a discussion concerning vital points in our future characters, history is dispensed with and the subject taken up for the most and the best that is in it. When he sees someone wandering from the straight path he teaches us what to do if we would be, what we can be. ln other words he watches over us, and for this, we dedicate our annual to him, our teacher, our sponser and our friend, Mr. I. E. Ellsworth. Page 3

-l--ll-l THE PAPYRUS ,23 ALOHA OE Four years we've lived within thy halls, We're leaving you today, We've answered every beck and call, You made in work or play. We are sorry this day to see, But we have done our best, For here we cannot always beg Fledgelings must leave the nest. Our purpose is still the same, As through the school we've gone, To win the game has been your aim, And we were with you strong. To link us with the best in life, And keep us brave and true While we mingle in life's strife, How oft we'll think of you. We'll think of you in days to come, Of those good times we've had, Sometimes with misery, deep and dumb And sometimes-gay and glad. We'll ne'er forget this shrine of youth Where e'er our path shall lead. From here, perhaps, in word of truth A Has come a golden seed. From here, no doubt, to stretch away A long, long, shadow starts, From here a beam as bright as day Will reach to all our hearts. Good-bye, old school, we're leaving you With memories, oh so fond, Good-bye our classmates, teachers, too, Our love will prove a bond. Page 4 Paul H Pauliena G
