HARDSCRABBLE S T H S Page Twelve WHEN- When widely separate '20 shall stray, There still one lasting joy will be, The memory, which with us will stay, Of four short years spent happily, When we received both praise and blame, And learned to overcome our fears 3 When we met classmates who became Our sincere friends throughout the years. When we began indeed to dream Of what our lives were meant to be, Only the best with us did seem Inspiring enough to be thought worthy. When planning thus, though we were young, We knew that we had weaknesses, But who that to ideals has clung Has not soon conquered some of these? When soon our class of '20 shall try To make these school day dreams come - tr Success and failure both may lie In the toilsome path which we pursueg But for these things we shall not care When our earnest aspirations rise, To do in the best way our share Of the world's work that before us lies. When we shall learn our fellow-men To love, and in our hearts realize That all the peoples to the world's end Our brothers are and should thus-wise Be treatedg when we shall learn soon To serve with heart and hand freely, Then will our lives be kept in tune With God's eternal symphony. Marjorie Archer '20, U6

A WORD OF APPRECIATION One of our older friends is graduating with the Class of 1920. Miss Isabel White, the friend and advisor of a host of former and present students of S. H. S., is leaving us for a well- deserved rest. We shall all miss her very much, and our best wishes go with her. For a genera- tion, her counsel and advice have guided the path of the youth of this town. Her influence on this community-more enduring than a bronze tablet-will be reflected in our midst for many years to come, and we shall all have had a broader and richer life on account of her life and work among us. W. D. WALDRIP. RESOLUTIONS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION Resolved, That the resignation of Miss Isabel White as instructor in the Strcator Town- ship High School be acccptcd to take effect at the close of the school year in June, 1920. And Be it Further Resolved, That this Board express its appreciation of the long and effi- cient services of Miss White rendered to the High School and to the many students who have been privileged to receive instruction through her efforts. And this Board, on behalf of its members, past and present, and on behalf of the patrons of Streator Township High School, extend to Miss White good wishes for her in all her future activi- ties. FROM THE CLASS Time is long, Eternity murmured, And I banish all regrets. Yes, but service, breathed the Master, Service I can ne'er forget. William Schroeder '20. Page Eleven
