10 THE MIRROR As we pass on, we surrender our place to the present Junior Class, envying them and at the same time feeling more or less superior to them. To them We confide a duty, a trust, an obligation: that of upholding Waltham's High's standard in athletics, in social successes, and last, but not least, in scholarship. If they fail, they commit an unpre- cedented act, if they succeed,-Well, that is what they- are expected to do. And so We transfer a burden from our shoulders to those of the Junior Class. Finally, at this time, overlooking its age, its diminu- tiveness, and its inconveniences, ffor even the powers that be cannot deny that it is aged and small, and its incon- veniences are manyj We bid our farewell to fWa1tham High School, to its joys, to its plea-sures, and to its many loved associations.

For, despite our growlings and groanings over studies, most of us will admit that our high school career has been one of joy and amusements, and many Will leave, sadly realizing that they may never again participate in foot- ball, baseball, dramatics, or Whatever their own special hobby may have been, that they may be losing forever the delightful companionships formed. Some of those who go to Work will rejoice in it, while others will gaze with envy upon those privileged ones who are to enter college in the fall. Some of those going to college will be en- tirely free of Worry about finances and scholarship, others will have to struggle perpetually for what they desire. And there will be those whose greatest wish is to go fur- ther With their education but who are unable to do so, who will feel completely lost, Wondering fearfully what the future may hold for them. All these individuals are compounded in a Senior Class, and few can truthfully say that their three years in high school have been unpleasant or that they are unable to understand the hackneyed phrase of parents, I wish I were in your place! NCE again the day of Commencement is fast ap-
