Co the Seniors: J, O. H. S. will in a few days bid goodbye to the Class of 1914. For four ' long years the members of this class have been looking forward to the day is when they shall receive their diplomas. It is sometimes said that the average student thinks that when he has received his diploma, he believes his life's work is over and is content to sit back and smile at the hard working underclassmen. A diploma is worth all that it costs, if the student who receives it has justly earned it, and has formed the habit of doing his best in all that he undertakes. If however, as often happens, the object has been merely to get the diploma, and the student fails to get that more valuable training which should go with it he finds too late, that the diploma fails to get him a position, or keep it for him after he gets it. Then it is that he thinks he has been deceived in the real worth of his diploma and concludes that his diploma is nothing more than a bit of parchment, decorated with highly flowered language. In fact this is all that his diploma is. On the other hand, the student who receives the diploma, after four years of earnest and eflicient work, who leaves the school knowing that he has made the ex- perience which it offers him his own, who feels that he is prepared to go into the world and accomplish something, who goes from the school with a desire to work hard, for him a diploma is an entirely different thing. For him the diploma is a certificate that he has taken advantage of the opportunity to profit by the rich ex- perience of the wisest men of past centuries. For him the diploma is a valuable thing and well worth all that it costs. J. R. INMAN. lass History Q HIS most extraordinary class of 1914 has kindly consented after much consider- ii. ation to give brief history of their life and accomplishments to the small mi- : nority of people who have not been so fortunate as to meet any of their re- markable members. Tlfe will never forget that first day of September, 1910. It was dark and QS gloomy without, but the moment our class entered those renouned halls of R. O. H. S. the clouds cleared away and the World became bright and sunshiny. Evidences of our unusual intelligence were shown immediately. Some thought that we were guided by an invisible hand, for We Went, not with the usual confusion, fear, and trembling, but took our places in a calm and dignified manner, which would have been satisfactory to our own dear Mr. VVilliams. Through the day We Went to the various class- rooms without a mistake. 1 In the evening Mr. Bell notiiied the school board of our unusual behavior and they promptly decided to visit us the next day before we should prove to be only an idle dream. After gazing upon our brilliant faces they presented us With a token of good luck, a four lc-af clover which we were to cherish uptil June 1914. During our first year our ofiicers were Laurence Boyer, Presidentg Margaret Telfer, Secretary and Treasurer. At our first class meeting We decided to put forth every effort to complete our four years study in one year, leaving the remaining three years for pleas-
