CLi>S HISTORY.
The history os all classes is very much
the same: each Gnc has its trials and
triumphs: Carh one its Shortcomings; and
But the class before You
this evening has an extraordinary rec
ord. Not only along the lire OF rapid
advancement, bat also IN points of mum
ihFe' nuElptEiilS at ti'' itH-t Thirty
seven.
So it is with great hesitation that |
engage To- chronicle the deeds aud mis-
deeds of this most wonderful class. To
select from SO vast field thOss. facts
worthy Of record.
The ideal senior. perhaps. docs not
exist, yet from All individual standpoint
the class Of '9S recognizes the superiority
Of its members. whether or not the fact
is appreciated by others.
According Ia the custom of almost
every senior class from time immcmoFiaI.
we met soon after school began and
unlike every other class the
shown at first never abatri:

advance the senior class 20 lis proper

,ask in the sunlight that plays upon its
ummit. We never dcspaircd Of the IN
lertaking but it was with greatest con
ience in ourselves that We struggled
inward realizing at every step.
That the heights by great men reach
ed and kept,
Were not attained by sudden flight"
The most Of us in the fall Of % became
Elf important sophomores. They told
S we were half through school: that the
ace to that role Of parchment glimmer
~ in the distance was half run: that
1n1orrow we would be business like
uniors and next day awe inspiring
cniors. But now that we have reached
nose dazzling heights. many of us,
link, would be glad to go back to yes
.rday when We were Sophomores to-
ether.
AS business like Juniorswe took great
eight in attestiDg our superiority over
le verdant Freshman and his rival-the
Sophomore.
Since entering the Senior class, one,
iss Bernice Richards. has been com
He'd to leave school. Miss Richards
place among us excelled
none, highly worthy Of membership in
