r ONWARD RADUATION time is almost here, and soon we who are to be graduated will leave Wright High — some to continue their studies, some to enter the business world, and some to enter other paths which perhaps are still indefinite. We shall no longer be united as one class, but shall be separated, each going her way and doing her work. But no matter what course we pursue after graduation, let us choose for our motto ONWARD . All of us can ' t hope to become famous and known throughout the country, but all of us — can strive to go onward. Fame is not the only thing in the world to strive for. No matter what we choose as our work after finishing high school, there will be something to work for; something that will make us want to be up and doing not be slackers. The world has no use for shirkers ; the person who is ready and willing to do her share, to assume her responsibility, is the one who makes her way in the world and wins the respect of her fellow beings. So, don ' t let us have any shirkers in the class of June ' 25. Let each one of us do our share so that Wright High School will be as proud to acknowledge us as graduates, as we are proud to claim the Wright High School as our school. Don ' t forget ' ' ONWARD is to be our slogan always. TO THE STAFF N THIS final issue of the Chronicle, we may appro- priately express our appreciation of what the retiring staff has accomplished. They have devoted their time and efforts toward developing the various de- partments, and toward improving the Chronicle as a whole. Their untiring devotion has resulted in a paper that has more inspiring editorials, more interesting fiction, more live news, and '

Class §nng To the Tune of, I ' ll See You In My Dreams . Now the time draws near, Parting brings a tear, We are sad to part with com- rades dear. Teachers, guides so true We will think of you. And in thought we ' ll hold you ever near. Tho our ways must part, In our inmost heart Wright Hi we ' ve stored mem ' ries sweet of thee. It will make us strong Tho the way be long — Thee our faith we pledge and loyalty. Chorus So, Good-bye dear Wright High, School-books we ' ll put by, Life is calling ' ' take up the torch. Hold it high, and join in the march . All your precepts wise We will always prize. They will lead us on thru life. So good-bye dear Wright High. RENA WILSON.

funnier jokes; a paper: that is better in every respect. The Paper has been left in splendid conditions so that the mcomnig staff may take up the work where they have left it. Much credit is due the Business Manager and the Advertising Manager who have made much of the success of the Chronicle possible through their splendid work in the Advertising department. The peak of their achievement is represented in the New Orleans Number, m which are found remarks of the old traditions, and bits of romance from the history of our picturesque old city. The new staff will need the co-operation and assistance of every student in Wrgiht Hi to carry on. So it ' s up to us, and here ' s for a bigger and better Chronicle in the future. MARIE LOUISE HUMMEL, MARY DUREN. A WORD OF APPRECIATION T WOULD be improper to allow this last edition of the 1924-25 Chronicle go to press without some word of congratulation to the girls who have for the past year- so well upheld the traditions of our school paper and have in so large a measure added to its glory. The February class of 1925, der the very able leadership of Miss Beatrice Davis, worked against almost overwhelming odds, but succeeded in keeping alive the spirit of the Chronicle, and each issue that they produced was a tribute to the untiring zeal of then- Editor-in-Chief and a small band of co-workers. The gratitude that the next staff felt towards these girls for their good work m behalf of the Chronicle found expression in the very first act of the new management, a surprise luncheon tendered the outgoing staff the Friday before their graduation. The present staff was elected before the expiration of the pre- ceding term, and was thus able to make a better start on their work than is usually the case. It was at once decided to issue four num bers, instead of the usual three,— necessitating increase in advertis- ing rates, subscription rates, etc. An intensive campaign was launched by the business manager, with the enthusiastic cooperation
