Although the first glimpse of ou frantic faces seemed deceiving to fellow students we soon astounded the teachers with our brilliant recitations. We began our career with nine diligent pupils but during these ensuing years have lost three of that number, namely, George Stevens, Ella Ken- nelly and Joseph Young. However, we have added another, Russell Weaver to the role of the class of 1919. Below you will find additional statistics regarding the class.

Vera Peterson Friends, lt is my pleasant duty to lbid you welcome here tonight.: For us this is indeed a harpvpy event for it means that we have achieved a victory. We hope 'we have accomplished more than the mere accumulating of a store of misce'laneous information. 'We hope we have, in a measure at least, learned to master ourselves wh'le we have 'been solving the prob- lems and trlumphing over the discouraging things we have met in these years of study. 'We do not 'know justvwhat will the the tests fwe shall have to face as we go forward, but we trust that the lessons we have learned will serve us -well. 'We are conscious that we owe a debt of gratitude to those 'who have so willingly and liberally contributed to our success thus far-to you, our -parents, who have 'provided for our tennporal needs especially, to you, the memlbers of the Board of Education, who have 'borne the responsibilities of 'maintaining the school plant, and to you, the teachers, who have so faithfully cooperated with tus and inspired us to cherish high ideals. We .will try to live worthily to prove that :we are grateful. This, we know is the 'best 'payment you desire. Atgain, one and all, the 'Class of 1920 -bids you a cordial welcome.

Ng iii An man -.gg-.gg-.gp-gp1pl1gpipl1.u CLASS POEM ...ani Russell Weaver In years gone by we dreamed Of the day when we should be Freed from the drudge lt seemed Our lessons e'er would be. But now we've reached the close Of our days in Wyanet High: And the view before us shows That harder tasks are nigh. Our future faintly gleams, It's trials yet unknowng Success ls still a. dream, Our battle still un-won. Yet to the fray we go Wlth our courage mounting high, Resolved to dare and do, Fame's heights to occupy. So teachers, now farewell! And fellow-students, too. May Wy'uet High excel In all she hopes to do! Our love shall ne'el' Grow cold. Our love for the Purple-and-White. The Chocolate-Brown-and-Gold Will cherish your memory bright. So here's to the Purple-and-White! And here's to the Brown-and-Gold! And here's to the Future bright With wealth of service untold! 0101113101110 'Hnlumr in
