Shattuck and 1921 if? ' ': ' S the time approaches when a senior class is to receive the rolls of parchment that magically admit its members into the great W J' body of alumni, it is inevitable that that class shall stand as it were before the judgment-seat of graduates, undcrclassmen and its own consciousness. We, the Class of 1921, feel that we are leaving behind us a record of which we need not be ashamed, we believe it to be a record of which we may be proud. The position of the senior class at Shattuck is one of responsibil- ity. It must serve as an example to the rest of the School. To its members, naturally, fall the important offices of the student activities, for in the nature of things the older boys must lead in the scholastic life. That we have fulfilled our trust and given our loyal support to those things which make for a better Shattuck we earnestly believe. If we have failed in any way it is because we can not lay claim to perfec- tion, but have fallen short of a task that can never be accomplished by one group. If we have helped the School a little to march forward we rest content. As far as the studies go we have kept up to the standard. Few of our members will fail to win the coveted diploma. We do not pose as a class of Phi Beta Kappa aspirants, but neither do we consider oura selves mentally deficient. Most of us are on the right side of the books with a comfortable margin. Our military record is a proud one. We can honestly say that few cadet majors have equalled Henningsen. He has thrown himself heart and soul into his work. Backed by capable ofiicers and non- commissioned officers, exacting a strict but just discipline, and setting always a splendid example of efficiency, he has commanded a battalion which would be a credit to any military school in the country. The Class has made up the bulk of all athletic, teams. Grit, sportsmanship, and a clean fighting spirit have marked our contests. We like to think that we have fostered these qualities. We have tried to be modest in victory and cheerful in defeat. 14

ln the school life we have sought to uphold Shattuck's finest principles. To our class fell the problem of stamping out the worst features of the shagging system. Progress marches ever on, and traditions that are outgrown and have become harmful must be cast aside. Certain radical members of our class temporarily opposed the abolishment of a custom that has fallen into abuse. The better element prevailed, as it always must. The senior class cheerfully abandoned its hereditary privileges for the best interests of the School. Commencement draws rapidly nearer. It has been a good year. We have had our pleasures and our sorrows, but the grain of sadness is overshadowed by the harvest of our happiness. We are turning over our position in the School to the coming seniors. Theirs is a sacred obligation. We have fulfilled ours to the best of our ability. We have no fears that they will fail, for Shattuck demands the best in her sons. We yield our privileges and responsibilities to worthy successors with confidence and faith. We leave them the simple message of our trust, Carry on! 15
