Johnny came to us from St. John’s Military Academy out in Wisconsin, and he has since then taken a great interest in military training outside of school. Almost everyone remembers Johnny’s flivver : he spent most of his time trying to keep all of its parts together. And no one will ever forget the way in which John distinguished himself as an elderly pompous Congressman In Arcady . John expects to take a position in the financial department of the P. R. T. Cecilia Durnell Classical 7 o those who know her best a friend most true and hearty. Girls’ Chorus III: Mixed Chorus III; Aeneadae IV. Ray is a jolly, good girl (not fellow). She is always ready to give us a good laugh. But in spite of her jovial nature, she is an excellent stu- dent. We know she will be the success she hopes to be when she enters Normal School. She has the qualities of a teacher for she loves to boss some of her fellow students. Get over your little habit of hiding hats and coats Ray .

THE GARNET AND WHITE 29 LITERARY (Enmmrnrrmrut 0ai| June skies gleaming bright above us, June flowers blooming, oh so gay! Birds are singing June time anthems All to hail Commencement Day. Now we know our journey s ended Through the maze of High School years, And we leave behind us laughter. Work and care and even tears. Paths we've known we ll leave behind us: New ways open to our feet. We shall go on strange adven'ures: Joys and sorrows we shall meet. 1 926” is passing With its colors waving high. White and purple, truth and honor. So we bid you all good-bye. In each heart will be entreasured. All those things we hold so dear— All the friendships, deeds of greatness. Little things that made each year. ” 1 926 remembers And, remembering, goes its way, June has come with birds and roses: June has brought Commencement Day. —Marion Green. 1926. Salutatory (Delivered at the Commencement Exerciss of the Class of 1926. June 10. 1926) We, the Class of 1926, welcome you, Members of the Faculty and the School Board. Friends, and Parents. We are glad that you have come here tonight to see these commencement exercises which symbolize our first real success in life. When we first entered High School four years ago, it seemed to us that we should never r'ach our goal, but we were wrong. The years have slipped by very quickly indeed, and at last we have accomplished our aim. The years we have spent in High School are really the basis of our lives—the foundation for our future. All of you are in some way responsible for this training, and you may be very sure that we thank you. During these years we have gained much knowledge, and it is now our duty to make the most of the opportunities which our Parents, the School Board, the Faculty, and our Friends have made pos- sible for us. Members of the Faculty, you have guided our minds in the right direction: you have encouraged us when we were discouraged; you have done your utmost to send us out from High School as good American citizens. To you we extend cur greetings.
