 Dear Friends of West High: After six years of the most pleasant associations of my life, the time has come when I must share in the feelings which stir in the hearts of the Seniors, and voice the sentiments of one who is leaving West High. We have alike shared in the pride in our school, in her victories, her achievements and her wonderful spirit. We have together studied and worked to develop a stronger and better school, in scholarship, in manners and in morals. I believe every Senior is glad to have had a part in such work. And so do I feel proud to have wrought in some small way toward the same end—the building of a finer school and a finer citizenship for the future Minneapolis. And so 1 wish to express my feeling of appreciation for the many, many ways in which you. the students of West, have shown your desire to co-operate in this great work, and the earnest and hearty response which has always been forthcoming when you have faced the need for a real, heroic effort. In breaking the personal tics which have bound me in friendship with so many of you, comes the hardest part of leaving. May I express to you here and now. what I hope to have the opportunity of saying to you personally a little later, that my heart will always be with you. and with the school. Just as I shall always be thrilled to hear that West Wins. so shall I ever be glad to hear of the successes of each one of you individually. May the future have the best of good fortune and happiness in store for each and all. is my farewell to you, my comrades and friends. Sincerely.
