Though his life was dark with discouragements and de- feats, and his pathway beset with obstacles, the Victory was Wong and in the height of our national glory, We see his name Written in letters of shining gold, Abraham Lincoln.

1 Not one beam of sunshine entershis heart to cheer those dreary hours. Nevertheless as he waits there. his time is not wasted for his noble mind is active, and in the galaxy of literary fame Bunyanis star shines with such brilliancy as to eclipse hundres of those geniuses who have not spent their ,life under such adverse circumstances. v . . . ,On the 12th of February, nearly a century ago, in an old log hut without a floor, and nearly destitute of furniture, a .baby boy was born. , , , , . D, . , It was a cold winter's day and the sleet and snow came driving in through the chinks between the logs at every gust of the wind. The child lived and grew. His mother taught him to read and write, and at the age of. seven' he entered the district school, his only book being a tattered spelling book. His, teacher- could -barely read and write. But nothing daunted he pushed forward gaining what little he could by hard work. t p . , As p he grew older hepwas taken from school and put to workpat home, helping his father clear away the forest and till the ground. ,His garments were made- from the skins and furs of animals. However he .did notgive up his edu- cation, but studied evenings with his motheris assistance, until he was obliged to go out into the world - for himself with nothing but his own brave heart, willing hands, and steadfast purpose to assist him., , H . His pathseemed full of obstaclesbut these only . seemed togincrease, his determination to work his own honest way. ,Thus he pushed onward and, upward, winning .many friends by his great truthfulness and t honesty.. . Defeat seemed- only to nerve him to greater energy in overcoming the ,many hindrances placed before him. Puttingghis hand to the plow he never looked behind him nor gave. . up: and having carried our country through one . ofthe darkest hours known in its history, giving even his life for his cause, his star shines in the constellation of statesman- ship, one of the brightest which the world has ever knownj

How sad the thought makes us, we leave you to judge from our faces. ,As a class, We have existed onlythree short years, but what a livelyinfantivve have been 1 during that time Mr. Searl could perhaps best tell. During our short life We have acculumated some property, ivvhich, With a little friendly advice We Wish, to bequeath to alfew of our friends -principally because .We cannot take a part -of it with us, and the other part, We have no further use for, having thoroughly learned it from experience. . Hence is this Will Written. We hope that none will feel slighted at not being remembered. THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT or THE CLASS or 1903. We, the Glass of 1903, being in a slightlyagitated but not unbalancedrstate of mind, do hereby make this our last Will and testament. e 1. It is our Wish that all expenses and debts be paid from someone else's estate, otherwise, there Would be nothing left of ours but advice to give avvay. 2. We Wish to give the School Board our consent to grant to our successors half holidays for such ball games and other sports as shall occur on rainy days, only. We
