Now, to our youngest, Albert, is
due especial praise, for in early fall
he was but a Seventh Grade boy
Seeing his mental strength, his per
sistant efforts and most of all his
pleasing face we longed to have
him among us, and great was our
joy when told that he might join
us, even if it were but on trial. for
we truly believed him able to do
the work.
Alice comes to us from Chicago.
She has; been with us but one year.
She is a: very strong member. In
addition to her Eighth Grade work
she has made one and half credits
out of the three for the first year of
High School, The Rhetoric Class
have thoroughly enjoyed her
thoughtful essays: Her essays on
sky .scraPers, and like subjects,
are especially good.
Lillis laughs down all difficulties.
Never did she seem at all discour-
aged in any of her work. When diff
ficulties presented themselves to
her she looked them calmly i'm the
face, smiled, and 1 really believe
that her smile conquered her diff
culties. She has been. truly a pleas
u re to her teachers. They always
knew what to expect and got what
they looked for. We clearly recall
how confidently she looked into
their faces, with look that said
"you may depend on me, I'll con-
quer my difficulties" And the
teachers: gladly bestowed on her the
look or word which gave her the
necessary confidence.
But Michael, what shall we say

but short time. But every act has
proved him gentleman. His
work in class shows him to be lust
the kind of a pupil that the Virgin.
ia High School wants; solidity
clear-headedness, ,industry;these are
are his characteristics. Nor is he
lacking in humor, of that kind
which his name indicates.
Minnie is one of the happiest girls
in the class. She is a fair young

us.
Now you know the personal his
tory of our Class. Hear what we
claim az: "a class: We are business
like. We started out to win. Ir
February our way seemed clear
then we organized as a Class, with
myself as president, ,Lillis, vice pres
ident; Albert, treasurer and Miltor
secretary. We chose Royal Purpl,
and Yellow for Class Colors ant
hope the royalty in action and bril-
liancy will be characteristics of ou
Class during our High Schoo
course. We are industrious ant
thoughtful. Our motto was care
fully and thoughtfully chosen
"Diligence Overcomes Difficulties"
as often as we grew weary by tn
wayside we heard someone saying
I'D. O. D'-and diligently did w
work. So far our motto has guide<
us, but we have made but a begin
ming. We have, without doubt
made better record than any pre-
ceding Eighth Grade. Our pupils
claim certificates in all Eight
Grade subjects In addition tt
these, few have Senior Grammar
a few have Senior History, man,
Greece and Rome and some of u:
have sent drawings to the Pan-Am
erican Exposition. OF the rest, W.
