L i terary FAREWELL The class of 1915 has gone down the old, old trail that all classes have gone, and all must go. All that remains is a memory of what We have done or tried to do. Once more a block of copper has heen added to the ever increasing row of memorials that line the entrance to the school: an inanimate witness to our too brief sojourn here, while the living witnesses to the happy scenes and pleasant hours spent within the majestic. ivy-clad Walls of Stockton High have scattered like chaff upon the harsh storm of life. VVhen we realize that no more are We to know the pleasure of high school daysg that no more can we assemble as the Class of 1915 in Room 6 and plan Jolly-Upsg that never again can we wear the proud Blue and VVhiteg but that we must forever turn our hacks upon scenes that are clear to usg when We realize this, there comes over our hearts a spirit of sadness that no joy of graduation can erase, and it is then that the humble but fresh Freshman is an object of deepest envy to the Nine

produest Senior that ever stormed from the platform or starred on the athletic field. But with our sense of regret we have a feeling of consolation in the fact that our days as members of Stockton are not over, but extend until the end of time, and if, in the future, there comes a time when Stockton High School calls upon us for aid or support, we will not fail her, even as we have not failed her in our four years spent as members of the Student Body. Rajah, '15, SUCCESS There will be many congratulations and praises showered upon you. graduates, and it will seem as if the whole community needed your services and rejoiced in knowing that you were preparng to render them However, these congratulations, so sincere and well meant, must not be considered a surrender of your ability. These praises, which for the moment overwhelm you and awaken you to some new power you hardly surmised you possessed, should not be taken too seriously. For, graduates. it is true the community needs you, but you must remember success is a common goal and is everyone's aim. To attain it you must be worthy of it, and to be worthy of it is to work, to strive and to slave For it. Life is no dream, but a reality. The more earnest one is. the more vivid is life Your duty is therefore not only to do well, but to do better than your fellows. If you maintain the same standard as you have in the past four years you can not help but achieve whatever you under- take This is no boast nor exaggeration of your ability, but an exact estimate of what you have done. For we, your friends and schoolmates who have come in contact with you every day of your school life, know you better than your instructors and, perhaps, even your own relatives do. VVhen we wish you :success and assure you that we know you are capable of attaining it, do not consider it any empty boast nor just a mere conventionalitv. For we know you, are conhdent in you. and are willing to vouch for you. Wie wish you success, not because others have done so. but because we know and confide in you. Class '17, Dk is :cf 1:1 REMEMBER There may be a time in the future when the rain beats down on a well shingled roof and you are sittng by an open fireplace in a big cozy chair with vour arms crossed behind your head and your legs stretched out at full length, that your thoughts do nothing but wander. If such be the case let them wander on slowly backward through the years to 1915, the year that you graduated from dear old Stockton High School. Try to remember what happened and the good times we used to have. Think of those lessons and the cramming for examinations. Think of the ones and the ones and the Hunks you made. Then get up and poke the fire and settle down for a good long backward review. Perhaps you played on the bootball team, and once more you will save the day by a long run through the enemy's defense. Once more you will be electrified and rejuvenated by the prolonged cheers which pronounce you once more a hero. Let your thoughts follow the crowd of students out into the gym to a rally. There's the place where we did the yelling that brought victory to many a team. Stay around the gymnasium now until evening and once more attend the Sophomore dance with that blue-eyed little Ten
