as we hope you do, only the pleasant
 hours we have spent together; and we
 most heartily thank you for your care,
 help and instruction, regarding you no | longer as teachers to be obeyed, but as friends to be respected and esteemed.
 Schoolmates:
 It Is with us much as 1t is with those who are leaving the world we see more clearly than ever before the pitfalls, the follies of the past, the vanity of the things which we once thought so vital, the value of "those" things which are pure, lovely, and of good report. And out of our experience we would give to you a few words of loving ad- wise. We would bid you uphold the honor of old Hlllhouse not alone by l high records in scholarship and athlet- lcs, but in those ways which cannot always be marked by an A or a B. We would bid you remember that, while "all work and no play makes dull boy," no work and all play makes the dullest of boys; and that while athletics l is an essential part of ones training, | 1t ought to have its due proportion of attention and no more We would re- mind you too, that high school educa- ton ought to enable a boy or girl to do honest, earnest, and noble work in whatever place he is called upon to fill. Finally as we say goodbye to you, We wish you all the pleasure, which we have had in our years at Hillhouse, and all the success which earnest en- deavor will surely bring.
 Dear Classmates;
 It is fitting time to ask ourselves the question-and on its answer depends all our future-what has our course at Hillhouse done for us? Has it prepar- ed us to face any work boldly and bravely? Has it trained us to stand up valiantly for the right? to frown upon the wrong, the mean, the coward ly? Has 1t helped us to nobler and higher ways of living? to resist temp tation? Has it taught us that labor is honorable? If it has done all this, then indeed we may lok back upon four well spent years and hopefully forward to a future, which while it may not be crowned with what the world calls success. will bring with it joy. peace and blessings. Free from those cares which of necessity must burden our future, we have spent many happy hours together; so fond has been our affection that not one discordant note has marred our harmony And this makes our parting double sad and the farewell word doubly harder to say- But all good things must have an end ( and tonight sees the last of our many joyous Hillhouse days For the last time assembled together we look upon faces and forms which association has made so familiar and so dear; and we finger, reluctant to say the parting word, bearing as always sorrow and pain. Yet the time has come, the word is inevitable. Farewell and may Gods blessing be upon us, eyery- one"
