He has achieved success who has lived Well, laughed often, and loved much: who has gained the respect of in- telligent men and the love of little chil- dren: who has filled his niche and accomplished his task: who has left the World better than he found it, Whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul: who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had: whose life was an in- spiration and Whose memory a bene- diction. fluthor mzkliown. -A.

ELIZABETH PARKS VIICL'-lJl'I-I7CIi17tIl affllf.. As the culmination of a year of suc- cessful athletic achievement, it seems especially fitting that the annual honor- ing a class which has contributed so generously to this success should be dedicated to the sports. Just as centuries ago. in ancient Greece, not only perfection of bodily de- velopment was demanded of the con- testant, but also a character free from serious blemishes. so today the sports should stand for the best in high school life, the participants representative of all that is fine in American youth. That each succeeding year may bring about an ever closer approximation to this ideal is my wish for the student body and for the many fine young ath- letes of which it is composed. -ELIZABIETH PARKS.
