"The Honorable Board of Education, Mr..
Superintendent, schoolmates ana Friends.
The class Of ninety-nine extends to you a
most cordial welcome to it's closing exer-
cises.
1T has not been without trials thu We
have reached this position, but the past
four years have been very happy years, and
today we are proud that Fortune has
~ AAo "ANAA LII
When the shore is won at last,
Who will count the pillows past?'
"Tho future shines brightly before us,
and it is with hopeful hearts that we so
forth to meet it, and as we leave the school
so dear to us, we are ready to take up the
more serious burdens of life.
eve are grateful to all who have aided
us to gain our education, for without your
help we could have accomplished nothing.
"As a class we will be joined together
orly a few more hours, but as we take our
different paths into the world the ties of
friendship that have been formed by us
while at school can never be broken.
''Today is the brightest and happiest day
of our high school course, for the end
crowns the work.
''Thus the class of ninety-n;ne bids you
welcome
Following the address Miss Trewin de-
livered an grafton upon 'practical Chemis-
try which We're followed by:
Territorial Expansion by BENJAMIN
Hanson; "Antonio," Miss Grace Wilson,;
imperialism, Ancient and MODERN" by
John B. Lynch, a synopsis of which has al
ready appeared in the Inter Mountain.
After a selection by the High School Gut
tar and Mandolin club, john Lynch deliv-
cred the valedictory. as follows:
"Another year of our school life is fin
ished, and many of us have come together
for the last time today. But whether we
go or stay we shall all find abundant cause
to remember our school with gratitude.
Day after day we have assembled in our
school room and the associations which
cluster around that place-mcre vivid III
our minds today than ever before-can
never be forgotten. they will so forti. with
us through life, and form an important part
in the individual experience OF each one
of us.
''The events Of this dry, and of the past
| school days are to be- remembered and re-
| called to mind with pleasure, md perhaps
| with pride, when We have passed away
from the scenes Of youth and gone far
town into the vale of Gears. AS we hear
the aged of today -ehcarse the scenes of
their youth, so shall NC recall the memories
of our school when having won the battle
of life, we sit down to repose after the
well-fought fight.
''Then little incidents, which seem now
hardly worth the telling, will POSSESS a
deeper interest and will linger fondly in
the mind. Today with it's visions of trials
and triumphs will be regarded as an epoch
in the career of most of us; as a day OF
remembrance by all.
w cannot pause and think of the many
pleasant associations which have bound us
together, without acknowledging the debt
of gratitude we owe our school and in
structors. We have too little experience of
the duties and responsibilities of active life
fully to understand and appreciate the
value Of the Intellectual and moral train
ing we have received, but We know we are
the better and the wiser now for it.
ITO many of us the education we have
received during the past years will be our
only capital in beginning life, and what
ever of wealth, honor and glory we may
hereafter win in the world, we shall large
ly be indebted to our school for the means
of success.
Teachers, to you has been given the
task of directly impressing upon our minds
