FRANK MASANAO MIZUZY. He apologized once because he didn't show up at a class meeting and that is more than any of the rest of the class would do. His strong point is Physics although he does everything else well. He is one of the jolliest little fellows amongst us and is always ready for a good time. EDNA PLUMMER. A student of rare ability and one who was never known to say, I don't know, during her High School career. Although extremely quiet she has loads of class spirit' and is ever working for the best ends of the class. She is a member of Philalethia and is Class Historian. BUN J IRO ITO. They say he is a decendant of a royal Japanese family but we are not certain. It is enough for us to know that he is a royal good fellow. In Civics he could put any of us to shame in discussions on our own government, much to Mrs. Pillot's merriment. He and Mizuzy make the second installment of Japanese boys to graduate from this High School. MARY LAPPIN. She registers in the Commercial department and therefore we see very little of her, but just the same we are glad to gradu- ate with her. Her records are of the best which makes us all the more proud of our association with her. MARIE WALKER. Marie spends more time at the Normal than with us so it's hard to say much about her. We only see her while in civics but that is enough to prove that she is an honor to us. She has a pleasant smile that we would like to see more of, but Normal seems to get it all. ' . 27

Y 1 ADIES, Gentlemen, and Fellow Students: i xi On behalf of the graduating class of Feb- ruary, 1910, I take the greatest pleasure in E? welcoming you here this evening to these-our graduating exercises. - - After looking forward to this night during you to bid farewell and take leave of our studies, our teachers, and our high school life. We think-and justly think, that we have here laid a good foundation for that which we intend to make of ourselves in the future. b When we entered high school we all had a certain object in view-that of arming ourselves with the fundamental principles of education which are essential and necessary if we expect to be able to compete with other educated men whom we may meet in after years. However, if' we should leave the portals of this school thinking that book learning and nothing else means educa- tion, we should not have obtained that for which we were sent here. Although education is by far the most important factor, in school life, it is not by any means the only factor. For blended with it we find our athletic activities, and these in my estimation are second only to our studies, for so thoroughly are our muscles developed, so thoroughly are training rules enforced, that we are able to withstand the most severe tests that our strength is put to, in school as well as out. But above this we are taught to play a clean, gentlemanly, sportsmanlike game whether winning or losing, and in the opinion of many it takes as clever an athlete to play a good losing game as a good winning game.
