Page 16 THE CAPITOLINE Io. At last, O Faculty, do we bequeath the memory of the brightest and most talented class that ever passed tthrough the High School and our sincere sympathy for the loss you sustain in our departure. CLASS OF MID-YEAR, ,OQ. CSeal.j Signed, published and declared by the above named Senior class, as the last will and testament in the presence of us, who at their re- quest have signed as witnesses of the same. THE FACULTY. ESTHER E. RALPH. Farewell Address Our High School career is ended. F Caesar, chemistry with all its tortures, Burke with all its conciliatory elements, all these with their ecstatic joys are ghosts of the past. Our dope sheets are laid asideg our pony is turned out to grassg dust settles on our forgotten books, essays and themes start the morning fires, and last but not least, our over-burdened brains rejoice. We appreciate the kindly aid and indefatigable zeal with which our teachers have guided us through the troubled waters of our High School education. Though they seemed harsh and sometimes even relentless in -their demands, yet, we now discern that their judgment was the best to be followed. They have been an important factor in the shap- ing of our High School life, exercising an influence for good, both for our individual welfare and the spirit of our school. By other classes we have been treated well, and we are not un- appreciative. We have been dictators and were obeyed, but now we must forfeit that office. Though often accused of being slow,U of want of originality .and even of being heathen, of such complimentary terms we are proud and voice our appreciation on this memorable occasion. Cur friends in the school and elsewhere we shall never forget. Kind words we always hope to remember and though injury sinks deep, let us forgive and for- get, and as we leave these halls cherish memories of profitable and pleasant trainng for the beginning of our life's work. We trust and sincerely believe that we have profited during the course just completed and we feel that we are fortified to do our part in the co-ld, cold world. But now to our theme. It is with fondest regret that we part from these pleasant associations. Our class meetings are over. Our president has called us to order for the last time, and though wie are glad that the grind is over, nevertheless, we realize the solemnity of this occasion. But why do we dwell only upon the solemnity of this occasion? Is it not a credit to have finished a creditable .High School course? Is this the last time the class of February, ,OQ, shall be heard? Shall we not sally forth, from the battle of life with some laurels to lay at the feet of dear Alma Mater, the High School of Springfield, Illinois. And now to our school mates, to our teachers, to all, we, the Mid- vear class of 1909, bid farewell. PARKE FREARK. , L L
