Q.-.....-, All this was in the schoolroom. But we were not slothful on the field. If you doubt our victories, you must needs look at our scores-scars we have none-only trophies from glorious victories, gloriously won. Cn the broad field of debate at Whitewater, the invincible trio, Zuppke Brothers and Estabrookn, carried off the laurels, while the name of Kline, immemorable in the twentieth century, shall go- down through the ages, a symbol of the learning and power of the class of nineteen hundred and one. Basket ball was ever our stronghold- Who are stunners? Who are hummers? It is the 1 Nineteen Qners ll But now our race is almost run, We have fought the fight, we have finished the course, and to the juniors we are about to yield the sceptre. We -may write history, but we may not prophesyf, We can only hope that, out of the contact with earnest co-workers, from the close asso- ciation with teachers who have ever had our larger interests at heart, from the guidance of a president who has striven to imbue us with his own lofty ideals, there has come to us such inspiration for further growth and develop- ment, that, capitalizing on experience, we shall press forward toward the mark of the prize of the high callingw we have chosen.
