E ?'I11'1 .' WA KAW '1'lll1'f!ll E iuiir Alma alter High School days, you have passed us by. We thought your de- parture would carry away all the toils of life, leaving us free and inde- pendent. Yet, as we stand, Our Alma Mater, on thy threshold for the last time and look into the world with its responsibilities, we realize that our days with thee have been very pleasant ones, and we are loath to let thy doors close behind us, regardless of the bright future which we are anticipating shall be ours. The little general Time has decreed that we must leave thee and join him in his march. But as we go forth in mingled joy and sorrow, joy in the anticipation of further success which we hope to achieve, and sorrow in the thoughts of separation, we are glad we can carry with us the friendships and the happy memories our High School days have given us. DOROTHY CRAIG l To itlliife Class oil' 927 Every graduating class has its distinctive virtues, likewise its characteristic faults. Made up as it is of widely differing individual members, no two classes can be compared in points that are standard. One's estimate of a class then is based more upon impressions gained from the work done in the class under his instructions, the associations in the class room and in activities. It has been my privilege and honor to be the instructor of the Class of '27 in American History. I have seen how diligently you have worked to give Wamego an annual, which should be the pride of the entire communityg I have noted from time to time the struggles you have made to keep in the race for graduation. The gravest difficulties have been met and overcome and now that you are completing your work I wish to congratulate you as a class and as individuals upon the success which crowns your efforts. One feels that his time and energy have been well spent when he is satisfied thati you have made a marked improvement in various respects and feels assured that you will continue to do so in the business world. It is with no small amount of pride that I claim a share in your development, and it is most certainly a pleasure to extend to you, the Class of '27, my congratulations and to' wish you theh same success in life that has been yours in school.
