Presidents Address This day that we have looked toward for four years is about to become one more yesterday. In another day we shall have realized the goal for which We have striven. With this in sight there dawns upon us the ' realization that our ambitions are not yet ' realized. The exultation of this hour is dimmed by the thought that tomorrow an- other objective awaits us. Tonight we real- ' - ize that the reward of four years of labor , 1 does not mean simply a roll of parchment. This diploma is the mere representation of the days. the weeks, the months which have : gl:-.,..,,:5:g.9i U , woven a fine tapestry which will form the -,-'Qi - Lg f K background of our lives. Perhaps at times ll ,W the pattern seemed drab, but running - I ' -e U G1 x.-'fig l K through the completed work there shines a golden thread-a thread that perhaps all un- wittingly the shuttle wove: yet it is there. How it gleamsl How proud we are of it! This thread woven among the threads of monotonous, commonplace duties is the golden thread of an ideal. As we stand here on the threshold of the future, what shall be our great objective? Shall we be satisfied with that which requires no effort at all, or shall it be said of us as it was said of Daniel of old, He purposed in his heart ? Let us work toward our ideals, and life will never be a failure: for ideals are the very essence of successful living. Ideals have been the foundation of all worth- while accomplishments. If we look back at the beginning of all the great in- stitutions of our country. even as far back as the beginning of our great nation. we will End an ideal. Now with our future so bright, shall we not try to at- tain through a life of untiring service, that satisfaction which comes only with the realization of an ideal achieved? And now may I say a word to our Faculty, through whose untiring ef- forts we have been brought this far on our journey of life? I speak for every girl here. You, our teachers, have given us of your very selves. We are leaving you with the hope that you will remember us at our best. I can not express the deep gratitude and respect which we feel toward you! To my classmates also I would say a word. I do not wish to say Good- bye, I hope that our paths will not be far apart and that tonight will be the beginning of more joys and success for you. Let us look upon tomorrow with renewed interest and zeal. Let us take pride in the realization that We are graduates of Washington Seminary, our Alma Mater, which we have loved and respected in the past and to which we hope to give honor in the future. ugfql ss' apfrl X X ' f 1 'Q N ' - 2 We IQ if 1 X X Z2 ,-i-i--u- -- N

C O 0 Class History There is a picture I should like to throw on your mental screen. It is not one of your favorite productions of chivalrous knighthood or the mod- ern vamp, but is a bit of history of the class of '27. A picture mingled with joy and happiness . . . . , M' L from the kindergarten days up to this dignified. X all important day that brings to a close a perfect 7 1- chapter in our lives. I x l'l This picture is not a Metro-Goldwyn nor a ., ! a Paramount, but our very own Washington Semi- . nary production. ijpxg --lg: N I nf i','.'f :du 1 Directed by . . . . The Faculty of W. S.

Your Humble Classmate First let me picture to you one lone little girl, whose name for modesty's sake will be omitted, who out of the whole class of '27 started her career on the sand piles of the kindergarten, making red and gold paper chains, building blocks, and cutting paper dolls. But the chains could not hold us there long. Our picture changes to that of wild excitement: the sand is blowing away, the paper dollies dance madly around the floor and dash headlong into the waste- paper basket, the blocks tumble down, and the paper links of the chains break. for we must go into the real seat of learning, Mrs. Cantey's room. Our imaginary reel grinds on and in the fourth grade throws on the screen a little chubby brown-eyed girl, our beloved Catharine Norcross, who has grown clearer to us every year and who today as we graduate stands with us as president of our class. Next the scene changes to one of brilliant hue as Betty Davison comes into our midst with her colorful Titian locks. Here we are under the loving super- vision of Miss Kathleen Colley, who helped us prepare the foundation on which we stand today. The reel turns on and shows us on the threshold of Miss Annie M. Sharpe's room, where we spent our seventh, eighth, and Freshman class years 5- ll if Ss 'U xi i Fai' N 'i i 2 1' a l ' uma YC, C? ' ny ? e an
