To the Friends of Iberia High School, Past and Present: Greetings:- A good deal of water has passed under the bridge since the first class graduated. We do not feel ready for the old folks' home but perhaps we ought to be getting our application ready. If you are old enough to remember, and if not you will find it in the rec- ords, We belonged to that class. There were just three of us. Not long after graduation, that iine chap, James W. Williamson died. We can never quite for- get the preparations we made. We had no precedent to follow. We had to make our own way. I, person- ally, had never attended a High School Commence- ment. I am not sure about the other members, of course, but I think I can say for all of us, our ig- norance was refreshing. But to every thing that is, in our human world there has to be a beginning and we are glad now if our faults and failures have been the means of helping succeeding classes to do the honors attractively and gracefully. From the memories of the days of 1898, we bring our greeting to all the classes that have come since and to those who are just now planning to join the classes of those who used to attend the Iberia High School. Very cordially yours, March 23rd, 1926. Homer B. Henderson, 2330 North Halsted, Chicago, Illinois. April 5, 1926. Dear Class of '26: Your request for a letter for the Maroon and Gold sets me to reminiscing at once. For it was just four years ago that you were entering High School for the first, and I was teaching my first term of school as well. We can hardly help thinking then, of the events which have crowded the interim be- tween, makinng us more aware perhaps of our part in the growth of the High School, whose life as stu- dents and Alumni alike, we shall always share. And the Maroon and Gold is first of all, as I be- lieve, indicative of that growth. The goal for a school like that for an individual comes out of the faithful living of the past alltl not out of the future. So as we look back through the pages of our Annuals, we are able to see in a measure, how the unconscious dream of the Washington Township High School of the future will be realized. Sincerely, Thos. A. Vannatta. Tl-I E LITERARY SOCIETIES The Clionian Literary Society gave three programs during the past school year in November, January and March.
