italian hitntial Ve Senyor in hys cappe and gowne Feeles that ye worlde is all hys owneg A yeare from now, with tasks lmcsette, lle'll think of schoole days with rcgrette. t 4 3 , . S Seniors we can hardly realize that the last is year of our stay at Phillips-lixeter is almost nt M goneg and we would fain hold fast to the few short weeks that remain. The life here and its asso- if ciations appear to us now almost as they must to the old boy, who looks back with longing upon his happy days at P. E. A. As a class, Oughty-Two has had its share of suc- s.,o cessesg like other classes, it has at times failed. lts history is interwoven with that of the school. Oughty- I 1 ' . Two men have played a prominent part in the various contests won for P. A. during the last four ' zgff ' ' years, and they have also endeavored to meet man- fully those few defeats that have necessarily come to the school during these same years. The period of time that has elapsed since the class entered P. E. A. occu- pies a somewhat unique place in the history of the school. During this time Old Exeter has entirely recovered from the depression that hung over her for a few years, and now seems to be on the threshold of an unprecedented pros- perity. E We are pleased to have been a part of the school during this period of growth, and wish we might remain to enjoy the new buildings and the oppor- tunities which they will afford. It is the wish of Oughty-Two that those who take our places may see the equipment of the school still further increased, and at the same time will see to it that Old Exeter's reputation for making men keeps pace with its material prosperity.
