Q U I N I A II I rn J i HONOR ORATION With oik1 exception, the present occasion will perhaps he the Iasi one when the Class of 1918 will make its appearance, as a class in tin High School. This building will remind us of happy, joyous times, of in cidents which have meant, and will mean much to us as we go thru life It will remind us of our teachers, our friends, and our classmates. True, as a class we are small in number, but we have had the enterprise to carry out whatever we have undertaken, with success. We have had ideals and ambitions that have not been lost sight of in these four years. Some, according to the world’s history, would probably be petty; others will be recognized as the worthiest aims that might be cherished by any American. When the War broke out we were a class of thirty-eight light-hearted Juniors. But men came the fatal day when War was declared and our ranks were broken, and we began to think more deeply of life, and its missions. Ten boys left the. class to join a higher rank in the Army and in the Xavv. Of these ten, only one, Wallace McClymont, has joined the Army. The other nine are in the Navy, and their names are: Weir Allen. Carl Anderson, Harold Anderson, Macon Gibson. Ralph Harris, Estel. Herren, Dick Hook, Harold Messer and Cecil Turk. Those who remained did their share in doing Red Cross work at school and at the headquarters, buying Liberty Loan Bonds, and Thrift Stamps. But our small sacrifice of money and time is but an atom compared with the sacrifices those ten were willing to make so that this war might be a victory for Democracy and Freedom. Our High School Service Flag already bears 100 stars and 33 more belong in tin field. They represent men from the faculty, former graduates, and boys from the present Junior and Senior classes. As Seniors we feel proud of the ten that belong to us, proud of the service that they are giving to our Country. And tonight a ; a class we would honor and remember those ten boys for whom these ten stars stand. —26- FAY HITE, ’18.

Class Song (TUNE—“A Merry Life”) Some think our Class is very small in numbers, And it is true; and it is true; But we are sure we make as good a showing As you could do; as you could do; We’ve pep, we’ve plenty students who are brilliant; They shine afar; they shine afar. And when our happy High School days are over They all will know just who we are. CHORUS: Eighteen, eighteen, is our class of fame, Eighteen, eighteen, we’ve lived up to our aim; Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la; Eighteen is our class and we are all proud of the name. Ah me, ’tis sad that we must leave our teachers, And schoolmates too, and schoolmates too; But we bequeath unto the underclassmen What we went thru, what we went thru; We’re sure you’ll all be very glad to hear this, And give us thanks, and give us thanks; Now always, always take advice from Seniors, And never try the Senior pranks. CHORUS: —25—
