II. S. You are favored beyond all power of reckoning inasmuch as you are allowed to spend four years of your life under such splendid influences as are predominant in Piqua High School. C' 011111161106Ill8llI1ll0, it is not the end, it is the beginning! and in entering this new phase of life, we ask that the student body, as well as the Alumni, accept this publication as a pledge of love and hope for an Alma Mater. ..... i Four, not long but lamentably short years have passed since the class of ninteen eleven entered old Piqua High School. From our Freshman point of view graduation day and the end of high school activity seemed far dis- tant and almost unattainable. But now we find that it was only too near, and it is with deepest regret that we take leave of these friends and sur- roundings so much esteemed by us. VVe must go on and make room for the classes that are to succeed us, To all of them and, especially to the class of 'twelve, we wish unbounded success in what remains of their school course. It is to the excellent faculty of Piqua High School that we, the class of 'eleven, owe whatever success may be ours. They have always done their best, giving to us the greater part of their time and energy. VVe did not always appreciate them as we do now, for at first they seemed rather severe and strictg not kind and thoughtful as we now see them. And now that we see things in a better light we realize that everything done was for our especial benefit. Now we know that they are our best friends and that we owe them a debt of gratitude hardly within our ability to pay. And, having finished our course we would say one thing to the other classmeng that is, Stand by the faculty, they are your truest friends. You may not hold a position of distinction, you may participate in very few school enterprises, and yet a great deal of responsibility rests on you. Good order in a school room means better work, and if you do not co-operate with the faculty in securing this you are harming your school. You have a school paper for whose success you alone are responsible: since no paper can exist without liberal contributions in the way of material. If therefore, you never attempt to furnish an article for your publication you are not helping your school to the extent of your ability. If you are a meni- ber of one of the musical or athletic organizations of the school, it is your duty to attend every rehearsal or practice called by the one in charge. If you do not you are as bad as a knocker, for in such things there is no half way station. Now, get your shoulder to the wheel, make every effort a noble one, and before you realize it you will have assumed a responsibility of such a nature that you will be a credit to yourself and to your school. Piqua High School is now advancing at a stride which is attracting the at- tention of other schools, and you, the students, are directly responsible for the continuance of this advancement. Look around, find your responsi- bility, then work!
