henceforth lie in different directions.
We have been more fortunate than our
predecessors in retaining the same pro-
lessor during all our course. We entered
the high school at he same time that he
did, no doubt with very different feel
ings, but there is always a bond between
strangers no matter where, nor how
much the positio may differ, so that we
to-day can in truth feel that we are his
class.
Let us not forget his words of kindness
and advice when we enter the broad
world and its untrodden pathways.
The time has come when that word
"farewel," the saddest and hardest to
utter, must be spoken, and we must part,
never more to meet rs class. Many OF
us may meet again, but never united by
the same ties as in the old, happy school
days.
As a traveller bound for foreign land,
standing on the deck OF an outward
bound ship, looks upon the broad expanse
of water, SO we today stand upon the
bridge between school life and LIES
school and gaze into the future over
which there is a veil as dense as that
which enshrouds the ocean itself. In
after years when our characters have be-
come more firmly moulded, fond memory
will carry us back with flood OF thoughts
to the old happy days, and may the
sorrow which comes from saying fare
well'' be softened by the memory of our
pleasant and profitable school days.
The essays were interpreted with
music by Monaghans orchestra OF ten
pieces. The music was not the least
pleasing feature of the afternoon. Among
the selections We're the following, all of
which were finely rendered:

Club. L. O. dewitt

Following the class essays, Chaplain
'Tribou delivered a short address to the
class, and many regretted that his time
was so limited. In the short time at his
disposal he said much that will doubtless
remain with the class as an inspiration to
noble works and noble aims through life.
Superintendent Moore, before present.
ing the diplomas, took occasion to adj
dress a few words to the citizens, urging
them to visit the schools more frequently,
and by lending their encouragement in
that way, to increase the good work of
the schools. He said few words tending
to Greater sentiment in favor of a new
high school building. He did urge lib
crafty, but not extravaganza, in support
ing he schools, on which depended the
future of the city, OF the nation.
