Ih. KIRCUPIM lAKl.W 1.1. L (Hy Nivian Thompson, editor-in-chief.) THIS is the day — ' 25 ' s last day of high .school life. A swellinjr of pride and a sinking of heart tell.s me so. And now what have I to say ' . ' We pau.se today iii)on the dividing jjround l)etween two eras in our Mves and looli back over the aiic ' d exiK ' iience of our hiph school life with its hiiovancy and its pleasures, its rivalries and amhit ' ons. its duties and friend- ship! ; we cannot avoid a feelinjr of .sadness that comes with the thoujrht of partinjr. The influence of our hijrh school days has left a lasting impression u|)on our minds and hearts. It prevades the in- mostly recesses of our natures. It has liecome a jruiilinji principle in our lives. It moulds our characters and shai es our destines. Our life-work lies Ijefore us. Only life of the hiphest en- deavor can repay the deht we owe our Alma Mater. As we go from the.se hills into the battle tumult of the world, where our mission is to be achieved and oui- rank amonjr men decided, she bids us take up the line of advance into the future, and press with eamest I)urix).se to noblest aims. The opi)ortnnities for a liberal culture that have Iwen extended to us in the few short years are past, are the .seeds that arc to germinate and ripen into deeds. Our mental and moral pu.ssibilities are just blooming ' and cominjr to first-fruit. .Another thought comes into oui- hearts. SchooUlay friends ' What sweet memories flood the mind at the sound of these words I What multitmlf of deep jind varied thoii - hts ionics to us at their utterance 1 We think ol cla.ssmates who share with us the joy of .solvnijr difficult problems and masterinji hard le.s.sons. When we are dis- heartened with the multitude of school duties, the cheering words of a comrafle i)ring new courage and inspiration to toil on. .lust to know that there are some who understand, and are interested in our joys and .sorrows gives a sweet touch to life. Their interest in our succe.ss fills us with a desire to climi) higher each day. Friendship is a flower that blooms in all kinds of weathei- and cheers us by its sweet jx-rfume. When watered with the dews of kindness and sympathy, it flourishes with unusual loveli?ie.ss. It brightens the pathway of the sad and lom ly and disjx ' ls discontent and sorrow. How many flowers of friendship have we planted during our years in high .school. UememU ' r- friendship is a golden link in the chain of life. .1 I
