It is to ns, the Class of '19, that succeeding classes will look for inspiration. We have not yet been tried out in the world. We are just setting out to sea, with youth at the prow and pleasure at the l18llll.v Many good ships have set sail before us, some are far out at sea, others are on the way. We do not fear for this fleet of ships, knowing what master laid their keels. They are all staunchly built and well equipped, proudly flying from every mast. head those colors dear to the hearts of every one of us, the lied and the Black. I.. S.

While in Steele this class has watched, not blindly, the gigantic .strfuggle through which the cause of humanity and democracy l1as been established, we hope, for ever. This class of nineteen feels that it has been unusually fortunate in being in Steele at this time, for we were able with assistance of the f3.f'llllZy to study a11d appreciate the great struggle. So for us, Steele will always hold a memorable place in our lives. Our first year here We felt quite insignificant, but we learned how to conduct ourselves as students of a great democratic school. Although we did not organize, and have no class activities to record, many of our number became identified with the various literary societies of the school and we began to feel that we were truly identified with Steele. We went through our second year here, proudly bearing the stand- ards of the Junior Class, and holding ourselves, we felt, up to its highest ideals. It was necessary to organize this year, and Edward Longstreth was elected to preside at our meetings, Leon Sargent to hold the chair in case of his absence, Roy Bishop to record the activities, and Alden Yeither as Sergeant-at-arms, to maintain order. We presented in the school audi- torium, the Archie Mamma Concert, which was a great success and for which we were very grateful to Mr. Mumma. The benefits from this cou- cert helped to defray the expenses of the Senior Farewell which was held at Memorial Hall the evening of J une the fourth, nineteen hundred and eighteen. This last year, as Seniors, we have, under the leadership of our officers a.nd the helpful eye of our advisors, been able to accomplish a great many things. Among those more worthy of attention was the Senior Play, which was presented by a very capable cast. Up to the present time, class rings and pins have been procured, Announcements are ready to be issued, a.nd arrangements for the Commencement Exer- cises are rapidly nearing completion. The exercises will take place the evening of June the nineteenth in Memorial Hall and from this night on our experiences in Steele will be fond memories. THE ANNUAL Page Twenty-yive
