CLASS SONG, “FAREWELL.” Tune, “A Perfect Day.” We have come to the end of our high school days, And the end of a journey too; But we’ll cling to our aims that are big and strong, And our classmates so kind and true. Can vou think what the end of this parting day Can mean to these sad hearts, As the sun goes down on our high school days, And these classmates have to part ? Windsor Locks High School we bid you farewell, To our teachers and schoolmates dear; Fr nd memories in our hearts shall dwell, Of the good times we’ve had here. Oh, memories of busy hours we spent As ov«r our task we’ve bent, But We’ll never forget the school on the hill, Where we’ve worked with a good will. We have come to the end of our high school life. A nd we’ll enter in Life’s School. Tho’ to-night there is sadness in our hearts There is gladness in our eyes, For 1919’s sons are we! Its spirit never dies. And w r e find at the end of our parting day The doors of the world open wide. To you, Alma Mater, we’ll be loyal, for aye, To our teachings and aims we’ll be true. And when our goal of success is reached Vou’ll he proud of your children, too. Farewell. Alma Mater; farewell to vou, Farewell, teachers and schoolmates dear. And now let us give for the Windsor Locks High Our last fond, hearty cheer. Kathryn E. Nolan, ’ 19 .

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 5 CLASS DAY EXERCISES ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Classmates and Friends:— It is with great pleasure that, in the name of the Senior Class of 1919, I wel¬ come you here this evening. Only four years apo we entered the Windsor Locks Hiph School as Freshmen to take upon ourselves the duties required of a hiph school student. In our studies we worked hard, always strivinp for Success. As a reward for our patience and hard work, we have now completed our Senior year: to-nipht we meet to bid farewell, as a class, to the school of which we have been mem¬ bers for four happy years. The propram arranped for this eveninp will be. for the most part, one of humor and merry-makinp for us all, but to-morrow will be presented the serious side of our school life when we meet for really the last time as students of the Windsor Locks Hiph School. Apain let me assure you, friends, that we are all plad to have you with us, and we will do our best to make this a happy and merry eveninp for all. George F. Wallace, ’19. PRESENTATIONS—PART I. Upon me has been bestowed the honor of presentinp to you, the members of the Class of 1919, what we are pleased to term class pifts. May these tokens, slipht thouph they are. be acceptable enouph to each of you, so that whenever you see them they will turn your thoughts back to the past, and the various experiences which you had while attendinp the Windsor Locks Hiph School. These remembrances are giv¬ en in a truly friendly spirit, and it is our sincere wish that they be received in the same way. First—Let me pive honor where honor is due—and call forward Georpe Wallace, president of our worthy class. Georpe Wallace—Frequently you come ruhing around the corner from the boys’ hall into the Main Room about 8.3114 (. ffl. It is well known by your associates that the Hiph School bell was the only means of awakenin ' ? you from your morning slum¬ bers, so we feel that in the future you will need an alarm clock if you intend to hold a business position any length of time. I only hope that you won’t ofrpet to set the alarm, and that you will arrive at the office at 8i00 o’clock, or whatever the hour may be, with just as pleasant a smile as you always wore at 8.32 when you arrived at your seat in the Main Room. Kathryn Nolan—Throughout your school life you have had very little to say, and was uniformly quiet. Here are some castenets. If you will use them as you walk along, clicking them sharply at each step, you will be able to make noise enough so that peo¬ ple will at least realize that you are ap¬ proaching. Wilfrid Callahan—You always appear to be in a hurry. You are forever running for a car after school, running up Church street hill on “high,” running from Clay Hill, or running down Warehouse Point Main street away from the fumes of gasoline. Ta e this speedometer, that with it you may be able to record the speed of your various manoeuvers. Mae Nugent—Why do you always walk so slowly ? If you cannot in anv other way nuicken your nace a little, here is a remedy. Accept this instrument, which will, when you turn the crank, play you a lively tune. Always carry the music-box with you. and when you are walking, keep up with the music and step lively. Jessie Wadsworth—The past year you have spent much time writing nites and letters to your friends in school. Now a literary ambition is most praiseworthy—far be it from me to discourage you in vonr pur¬ suit of the epistulary Muse; instead I wish to encourage you all I can. I, therefore, present you with a box of writing paper, so that in the future you may continue your correspondence without fear of running out of material. Isabel Root—After all these years of at¬ tending school, even this past year, expe¬ rienced thouph you were in educational matters, you went so far as to occasionally enter a class and say that you did not know what lesson had been assigned. If you are as forgetful as that, you really ought to take a course under David Roth the memnrv expert: if you find that impossible, however, use this little book: make in it a record of whatever you wish to remember. Thus,
