To the Class of '13 These long days we've spent together Let us cherish and revere, As we journey onward, upward, Ever striving year by year To ascend heights yet beyond us, Heights of knowledge, duty, power, Mounts of love and self denial, Triumph in ternptation's hour. These have been our years of training For the harder, steeper path, Years Whose efforts shall be blessed, For 'tis unto him that hath Shall be given understanding, More appreciation, joy In the works of man and nature, Treasures none can e'er destroy. Unto each must be his portion, Unto each his joys and woes, He shall Win who overcomethg Victor he who onward goes Through the sunshine, through the shadow Onward through the tempest's blast, For 'tis thus the Heavenly Father Leads His children home at last. Margaret E. Cummings E271

History ' The chief interest in history is the fact that it is not yet finished. HIS quotation seems very appropriate for our Senior Class. As we go out from our beloved High School to our various vocations, we begin a new and larger life, but the foundation for this life has been built in the Three Rivers High School. We may forget the Latin or the algebra in which we once excelled, but we shall never for- get the lessons we have learned from our teachers and our fellow stu- dents. Through these four years of school our class has been bound together as it is possible only for a number of persons with one goal to be bound. It is therefore with many regrets that we, placing our standard in the hands of the Juniors, go forth each one to fight life's battles. In September, 1909, forty-eight aspiring boys and girls entered High School. They settled down and studied uncomplainingly. This was an uneventful year in which we did not distinguish ourselves above the average Freshman class. One event, however, because of its novelty, still lingers in our memories. This was the Hallowe'en party given by the faculty. After a pleasant and refreshing vacation we assembled the following fall to take up our work with renewed vigor and found that, although sixteen of our class had left, ten new members had come into our midst, namely: Fern Fisher, Rena Wing, Harvey Romig, Bert Wyant, Gradon Wing, Grace Kelso, Pauline Ranck and Margaret Knevels. Our class was made up of forty-two individuals, like all sophomores, studiously in- clined and determined to conquer Caesar and obtain the best of grades in geometry. We listened with enthusiastic interest to the stories of Europe told us by our teachers, Miss Winslow, Miss Wiggin and Miss Workman who attended the Passion Play at Oberammergau during the summer vacation. We found that we had a new principal, Mr. Mann, of whom we were to learn the most judicious way of obtaining admits. Of course we never played hookey and found it difiicult to get O. K. excuses. We also had a new German and a new commercial teacher. By the time we were well organized, we were informed that our es- teemed and helpful English teacher, Miss Workman, had accepted a position in the Grand Rapids High School and that Miss Wilson was to take her place. It was after many thrilling experiences that the latter steered us safely into the harbor of English III. We began to realize during the course of our Sophomore year that great possibilities were i281
