And whether we bleed or whether we smile In the leagues that lie before us, The ways of life are many a mile And the dark of fate is o’er us. Here’s luck! And a cheer of dark before us! You to the left and I to the right. For the ways of men must sever. And it may well be for a day and a night And it well may be forever! But whether we live or whether we die (For the end is past our knowing) Here’s two frank hearts and the open sky. Be a fair or an ill wind blowing! Here’s luck! In the teeth of all winds blowing. Richard Hovey CLASS MOTTO With the ropes of the past, we ring the bells of the future. CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold CLASS FLOWER Yellow Rose 24

AT THE CROSSROADS You to the left and I to the right For the ways of man must sever— And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part For our ways are past our knowing A pledge from our heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Here’s Luck! For we know not where we are going. We have striven fair in love and war But the wheel was always weighted! We have lost the prize that we struggled for, We have won the prize that was fated. We have met our loss with a smile and a song, And our gains with a wink and a whistle— For, whether we’re right or whether we re wrong, There’s a rose for every thistle. Here’s luck! And a drop to wet your whistle! Whether we win or whether we lose With the hand that life is dealing It is not we nor the ways we choose But the fall of the cards that sealing. There’s a fate in love and a fate In fight And the best of us all go under— And whether we’re wrong or whether we’re right, We win, sometimes, to our wonder. Here’s luck! That we may not yet go under. With a steady swing and an open brow We have trampled the ways together, But we’re casping hands at the crossroads now In this Fiends’ own night for weather; 23

JUNIORS 1st Row: L. Grover, R. Rear. E. Haskell, A. Allen, D. Eldridge; 2nd Row: Mr. Austin, R. Lewis, K. Folts, A. Hazelett, B. Hurlburt, C. Grover, D. Chase, R. McAllister. At the beginning of the year the Juniors chose their officers. These were as follows: President, B. Hurlburt; Vice-President, E. Haskell; Secretary and Treasurer, R. Rear; Class advisor, Mr. Austin. The outstanding activity of this year was the magazine cam- paign. Although we worked to the utmost of our ability, the Seniors won. We have been on several skating parties with other classes, entertained the Freshmen in the gym at Christmas time, and had several other parties. We are anxiously awaiting the thrill of becoming Seniors. 25
