Page 18 text:

16 THE IHIRROR about to leave with our minds enlarg- ened, a wiser twinkle in our eyes, and best of all, with our hearts full of loving memories and happy thougnts of friend- ship. Finis An old, old book is closed and replaced in its corner on the shelf, there to remain silent and unobtrusive, to become more yellow and antiquated. But as we grow older we will learn to love and cherish the antique, for it is that which becomes more valuable with age. Now dear friends, my history is com- plete but let me add these lines ,- Enjoy the Present, it is yours to make the best of. Plan for the future, may your accom- plishments never cease. Think once in a while of the pastg and may you be proud of what you have made it. Class lDill lllilliam Baileq, 1925 XYe. the Class of 1925. being in our right state of mind, and of our own vo- lition, do hereby declare this to be OUT last XYill and Testament: - Preamble XYhereas, we, the Class of l925, being about to depart from this noble edifice, in our entirety, forever, and XYhereas. we can no longer take an active part in school affairs, it becomes our sacred duty to impress upon our vouthful successors and the Huntried lledgelingsn just about to enter, the sol- emn responsibilities which now devolve upon them, Q Namely, faithfully to promulgate the lofty character and high ideals of our Alma Materg constantly to be striving to place our school upon a higher pedestal in the eyes of the mundane world: to give of your best, but never, for lack of ambition, pull our reputation down to a lower level. May it ever be onward and upward. Then in addition to the above-men- tioned responsibilities, we will to our successors our privileges. To wit: To occupy the seats of honor in front of the rostrum in our common place of assembly. And by this position, in such close proximity to the speaker. you may the more clearly hear the choice bits of wisdom which may fall from his lips, from time to time. Proviso: Inasmuch as our immediate successors fto wit, the Junior Classj will most succeed to our privileges, it becomes our special duty to warn them of the pitfalls on the narrow path of Sen- iors. Always regulate your conduct and general deportment in such a manner as to do credit to the name of the graduat- ing class of the lYaltham High School. To you, there falls the special privilege of listening to the admonitions and ad- vice' of Mr. XYard, master of Room l4. Take his words to heart, cherish them and end your erring ways forthwith. Never, in a spirit of levity, criticise your instructors. It is a bad example to your younger school-mates. Lastly, remember the end of the year is not as far distant as it seems in Septem- ber and hours foolishly spent in the cool days of fall will be repented in the hot days of spring. To this. our last XVill and Testament, revoking all others previously made by us, we have caused our name and seal to be affixed. Signed: The Class of 1925. 6Sealj.
