THE LAST STRAW EDITORIAL For years the classes which have gone before us have been accustomed to leave behind them a class book. Fiom cur own exped ience in high school, we realize that we have little idea of, rr mall conee n with those classes which have been. From our narrow human viewpoint, we associate with our idea of high school only those whom we knew and mingled with which we, ourselves, were students. Our eyes are likely to be shut to the fact that when we were romping children, other seniors as capable as we, were being graduated as we are today. When we gaze about the halls and class rooms, how often do we associate with them those long departed classes, or how often do we picture the mem- bers of those classes, studying as we study, thinking as we think, enjoying that which we enjoy? We are aware of the truth and reality of this, and, while at present, every one of us is looking forward with the eagerness of youth to that which life may hold for him, still we disdain not, at the same time, to devote, at parting, a little consideration to the only thing which we leave behind us, our memory. To us these four years of high school have been a world within itself. Here we have practically lived, labored and enjoyed ourselves. Here have been our trials and tribulations, our ambitions and our joys. Here, we hope, are many of our friends. High school life, like life itself, is an ever-moving parade which enters at the bottom and leaves at the top. Soon, we of today, will be a column far, far in the distance and right behind us will be the whole little world which we connect with our high school life. The teachers change, the pupils change and all that remains the same is, perhaps, the school itself. So we hope that this little book will help to keep fresh our memory when the class of ’25 will be known only as a numeral in the long list of Time’s consecutive roll. Perhaps, too, it will be of interest to the future student, who chancing upon a copy, will see the fun, characters and scandal of our high school days. It is almost our last undertaking as seniors and everything in it is given with a hearty parting good will. May you find it agreeable and interesting, and worthy of a class which looking toward the future—may it be radiant for all of us—take our farewell from high school like Byron from England: “With a sigh for those who love us, And a smile for those who hate, And whatever sky’s above us, With a heart for EVERY fate.” WILLIAM B. PLATT. VALEDICTORY We, the Class of 1925, are here tonight as participants in the event which has been our aim these last four years. Four years—it seemed a long time when we looked ahead—but those years have rolled by swiftly and now on the eve of our graduation, it seems as if it were only yesterday that we first entered high school. We have gained much in the years we spent here. We have not only gained the knowledge of those things which we go to school to learn, but we have learned something of our responsibilities and our duties that shall fit us to be better citizens. We did not accomplish this by ourselves but under the kindly guidance of our teachers who have instructed us in the right paths and to whom we are truly grateful.
