6 HIGH SCHOOL ENTERPRISE Published by the Senior Class. Editor - ADA M. STONE Asst. Editor J. WALTER FOSTER Business Mgr. JOHN LAURITZEN FAREWELL. The Seniors, have, generally speaking, looked forward to com¬ mencement with regret, rather than pleasure. Now, after four years of study and constant friendship, we part, some to follow one vocation, some another We are loath to sep¬ arate, and it is with heavy hearts that we bid “farewell” to our teachers and schoolmates this evening. This word “farewell” is one often lightly uttered and readily forgotten; but, when it marks the completion of a chapter in life; when it means the parting of friends and teachers, it be¬ comes indeed, “the word that makes us linger.” But before we depart, let us not re¬ frain from pausing for a brief space to allow our memory to float back over the sea of our past school life. At times we have found it rough and stormy, but through strife and en¬ deavor we have at last triumphantly reached the shore. But this is not the end of our voyage. We see on the oth¬ er side a vast and mighty ocean, whose imperceivable breadth can only be overcome by our ambitions and hopes. We trust that these latter will be as guiding stars, directing our ship toward the ultimate goal of success. “New occasions teach new duties; We ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower and steer boldly. Through the desperate winter sea.” NEWBURGH CO. The leading dry goods house of Petaluma. The latest novelties. EDITORIAL. By these columns we wish to thank sincerely the business men and wo¬ men of our city, for so kindly contrib¬ uting toward the success of our “En¬ terprise.” We have met with three or four refusals, such as, “No, it does not help my business,” but on the whole we have been very fortunate. Those who have contributed have done so not for mere selfish interests but to “help along the High School.” We will ask our readers to kindly look over the advertisements of this issue and see what business men and women are interested in the progress of our school and kindly give them a share of your patronage. “Books, we know. Are a substantial world, both pure and good. Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow.” A few months ago the pupils were honored by the presence of members of the G. A. R. and Woman ' s Relief Corps. It was, indeed, a pleasure as well as an instruction to be able to listen to the testimony of these chiv¬ alrous old men, whose every act has redounded to the splendor and glory of the American name. During the afternoon the W. R. C. presented the High School with a beautiful flag, the emblem not merely of the past, but of our latest victories, the triumph of a great nation. In expression of our deep appreciation and patriotism we have consigned it to the breezes, where it may float over our school in commemoration of the victories of peace and of war. We have had no difficulty in know¬ ing how to spend the money which has accumulated (?) in our treasury. Members of the Class of 1904: GENTS FURNISHING GOODS AT BARRY ' S.
