ftttor (Elams JJnrm Oh, do you see these school clays passing, Passing far beyond recall? Swiftly calling coming moments That shall fly from one and all ? Oh, these hours are now so precious, And the time’s so brief, we know, Until we leave these happy school days In life’s busy world to go. Through the busy streets we wander In the dear old Rensselaer; Once again the school bell’s chiming Brings us to the halls so dear. But we’ve passed these happy school days, Which can ne’er to us return Even though we would recall them When our hearts for them do yearn. AYe are now the class of Seniors, So we cannot longer dwell. A T e must leave the place to others, Bidding all a last farewell. Alice Parks.

According to an ancient saying, if the entrance of March is like that of a lion, the exit is like that of a lamb, and vice versa. This seems applicable to our Class for the reason that we started in the Freshman year with eighty-tliree members, the largest Freshman Class Rens- selaer High School has ever had. But as a Senior Class only twenty-six survive. Where the other fifty-seven pupils have gone is not hard to tell. Indeed, I would pass over and ignore one President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Class Historian peculiar tendency which reduced our ranks, but the morbid fear of hearing “sour grapes” compels me to make mention of the ravages of Cupid, who, before the time we entered high school, began his fatal work among our members. Indeed, so many yielded to the charms of this little fiend, that few, the unchosen few, remain. Among the most vivid recollections of the first high school year is the first Freshman Class party. The whole High School was there, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, on the outside looking in. That is, all were on “the outside looking in” who were not in the basement. Nevertheless, every Freshman escaped with his life and there were enough refreshments to “go around” in spite of all efforts to the contrary. The next year our Class enrolled with about forty.
