But it was felt that the year should not be allowed to slip by without at least one issue and this issue is devoted to the outgoing class of 1920. This particular number shows two unusual features, namely, the selec- tion of the editorial staff from the present Junior class and the Freshmen associate editors from the present Junior High eighth grade. This will relieve the Seniors of the work of pro- ducing a. paper at a. time when their 9 W k? .:' 'E .

The student body will please bear in mind that the Clarion will make its first appearance of the 1921 school year in September and will be pub- lished ,each month thereafter during the year. What we want during the next year is supportg we need the earnest Work of all students to make this paper fill its proper place-that of a true school organ. You have heard the saying t'All things come to those who wait. Here's a better one- All things come to those who hustle while they walt. So don't just wait to see what the Clarion is going to be, but hustle to make it one of the brightest, best school papers in the country. The Edi- torial Staff will do its best: the rest is up to you. Address To Undergraduates. The following address to the under- graduates was delivered fby Burnham E. Averill:- It is my fgiood fortune as a member of the Class of 1920 to deliver at our Class Day exercises an address to the undergraduates. -Sharing with. those 'Who are to follow in 'our footsteps the experience and advice rwhich we have encompassed, I can only hope, then, that in what I am going to say I shall be given credit for endeavoring to speak conscientiously and to the best of my knowledge and judgment in be- half of the graduating class. It is with a feeling of pride and deep satisfaction that I am able to say that y-ou have witnessed in one way or an- otlhler a class, .perhaps as large as any that has ever 'graduated in un- checked triump-h from the Portsmouth Hilgfh 'School. But let me say here th-at it has not ubeen without work, faithful industrious labor. 'There has entered into our life depression and sacrifices together with the untold pleasures all of which 'have constituted our four years' sojourn beneath this dominant stru-cture.
