We are striving to make our school a better school and to repay our teachers in words and deeds for their untiring labor and the interest they have shown in us and our work. Our High School days are over. Forever and for aye : Still, when our college life begins We’ll ne’er forget the day When we said farewell to P. H. S. And started out in life. Among success and destinies Amid the worldly strife: So breathe a prayer For the Seniors, three That they may win success, And proudly honor the Blue and Gold And the students of F. H. S. —Anna Jelh'son, the Historian. Fourteen

(Shr Iflmutit luiltorB SENIOR POEM It is May; the birds are singing And the flowers they are in bloom; W hen we say good-bye to classmates And scatter about, to roam. And yet. we number only three; But we have done our best To make our school life useful. So we can stand the test. We have worked and played together. Struggled, triumphed and despaired; Fun and worry, joy and sorrow, Sun and shadow we have shared. Half unwillingly, wholly joyous, And with hearts so light and gay. We have closed the well-worn school book', Waiting our Commencement Day. Yes. commencement, ’tis not ending Wide the river sweeps before ; Whither will it bear us onward Life’s busy rush and roar. Dear classmates and teachers, too. May we strive for highest fame; And play our part in this great world. Which is our greatest aim. So we’ll say good-bye to our schoolmates, To our friends and teachers, dear; We fain would stay a longer while; But our work is no longer here. It is with regret we leave you To form friendships anew; Yet, though we work in distant fields, Our thoughts will be of you. —Irene Gabriel. Fifteen
