Vol. || No. 9 HIGH NEWS Smilhsburg, Md. June 1926 SENIOR FAREWELL Tne time has arrived in the history ol the Class of Twenty-Six when we must leave the protecting wings of our Alma Mater and face life and the world alone. Commencement time has come a season of rejoicing and gladness for some, but for us one of sadness at the approach of the last days of our High School Careers. We feel that we are leaving more than a school. We are bidding farewell to our school-mates and chums j some never to meet again. It is, however, an occasion which should mark the happiest moments of our lives, in that we will have received our coveted reward for four years of labor and patient study. We appreciate our precious diplomas as only graduates can, for they mean so much to our ma- terial welfare in the coming struggle for our attainment of success. To our learned faculty, alone, we give the credit for this successfuli com- pletion of our second step in our schol- astic career. They have rendered price- less service to us and to our institution, in laying the foundations for the pres- ent rise in school spirit and scholastic rating. We cannot express our gratifi- cations in the language of the pen, but °ur hearts hold for them a most grate- ful and worthy repute. The Class of Twenty-Six at this time begs the honor to express its most sincere appreciation to our loyal and worthy faculty. In bidding you one and all farewell we depart with the feeling that our hap- piest and most pleasant days were spent at Smithsburg High School among our school-mates and our loyal professors. W. E.
