THi: SKXIOR YEAR HOOK 27 Class Poem Swift four years have flown away And high school days are ended. The morrow brings Commencement Day With joy and sorrow blended. The gates have closed forever And classmates now must part. Tis death alone has power to sever The ties that bind each heart. The road of life before us lies And thither we have to go, Though back we gaze with longing eyes ’Tis useless, as we know. But whate’er lies in store tomorrow We greet with skill untried; And may we meet both joy and sorrow With Learning as our guide. Marian Crandall.

Beware of Mr. Maxwell’s black cat; he is a ferocious beast and the quadruped has been known to frighten and molest even Seniors. 4. Do not be afraid of the skeleton in the Lecture Room and do not fail to write your initials on it; the faculty approves highly of the practice as being exceedingly commendable. Item II. To the Freshman Class we bequeath a complete understanding of Miss Mclntire’s wiles, traps, and ensnaring tactics—in geometry, and of Miss Sturtevant’s strange, bewildering manner of expounding irregular verbs and the like. Item III. Upon the Sophomore Class, we hereby confer our exemplary and eulogistical manner of conducting a Junior Prom. Item IV. To the Junior Class, who are in sore need of the following laudatory virtues, we bequeath our originality (?) and graftmanship. Item V.
