lean MacGregor. Helen Pease. . . . Russell Hurlburt Board, of Editors .......Editor-in-Chief Advertising Manager .. .Business Manager Editorials Following the custom af the Senior classes for the past number of years, the class of ’22 is publishing “Ourselves.” We have tried to make it the best ever, and with this in mind, have spent a great deal of time in its preparation. The name “Ourselves” was chosen in 'keeping with our motto and implies the same idea, that of being true to our own ideals and aims, regardless of the other fellow, and being our very best at all times. To interpret it selfishly is a mistake. That was far from the minds of every one in selecting it, but we w'anted one with a worth while meaning, one which we could think of as being more than a mere name. This has been the aim of the whole class during the whole of the past year, being more than a name. Everyone has put his or her very best into everything we have attempted, and so were we really able to do thimgs. Without the co-operation of all, the efforts of a few would have been futile, but this, has been far from the spirit of anyone. As we have each put our best forward this year, I hope wre will keep it to the fore and live up to our motto “Be you yourself.” Representing the class, I believe it would not be out of place to take this opportunity to thank all those who so generously helped us obtain the money for the Washington trip. Unless the public had been back of us as it certainly proved itself to be we could not have accomplished what we did. The school students as well as the townspeople were on the job every time. We wish especially to thank the Junior class for the candy sale given for the Senior’s benefit, also Hamilton Clark and G- A. Middleton for so kindly helping with arrangements for the Senior dance. We wish, too, to show our appreciation of the help and encouragement given by everyone of our teachers, but Miss Jackson especially. I wish to commend the Juniors on the friendly spirit they have shown since their organization. I believe never before have the tw'o classes worked together so well, or been so friendly as this year. Of course there have been much good-natured fun and argument, but all in sport. We show our appreciation by devoting a section of this magazine to their use, and the fact that we did not even censor it ought to show our spirit and good sportsmanship.

I will study and get ready and maybe my chance will come. A. LINCOLN. Let us then be w’hat we are, and speak what we think, and In all things keep ourselves loyal to Truth. LONGFELLOW. Incentive Let me but do my work from day to day. In field or forest, at desk or loom In roaring market-place, or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, “This is mv work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way.” Then shall I see it not too great nor small To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because I know for me my wfork is best. HENRY VAN DYKE.
