Annual Alumni Banquet, Friday
evening, June g.
On Thursday Of last week, the bust
ness men organized a base ball team
to play our High school team. They
did not think it fair tha. the Highs
should WIN SO many victories, so they
came up to show us thing or two.
The game was called at 4 80 p. m. The
business men were the first to bat,
but before the first inning was finish
ished, the Highs told the tale. No
matter where the Colts placed the
little sphere there was always a hand
ready to seize it. Jacka and Casser-
ly were the pitchers, and Bliss the
catcher for the merchants. They
played a good game, but the Highs
played little better. At the end
of five innings, with "A score of II to 3
staring them in the face, the business
men thought it time to quit, before
they were beaten any worse.
We, the graduating class of 1902,
must now bid farewell to our teachers
and fellow schoolmates We look
back to our Freshmen year and it is
as yesterday. We looked forward to
four years of work, and we look back
upon four years of pleasure. We
wondered Ihea If we could ever COM
plete that course and graduate. We
have done it but We are not so anxious
to graduate as we thought we would be.
We do not look upon leaving school
as a relief We now have that to face
which is thousand times more sew
ere than school: that in which there is
but a survival of the fittest the
world.
We are the largest class that has
ever graduated from the Mineral
Point high school, and we hope that
we are the last that will graduate
from the present building. Class of
1903 we wish you that which we have
not had-a school house that will be
a credit to you, and to which you
will be credit. Get the school
house, and we know the rest will come
of itself.
| We will ever look back upon these
four years as four years of pleasant
associations. Whether we take the
optimistic or the pessimistic view of
school; look upon it as work or
pleasure: we cannot but see what i'm
mense opportunities we have enjoyed.
We did not realize it at first, but we
realize it now, to be sure. How our
teachers worked for us. They saw
what we did not. And now has the
time come when all must be ended
With boundless gratitude for your
noble labors, teachers; with pleasant
remembrances of friendships, schol-
j., airs; with regret for our blunders, with
exaltation for our triumph, we, the
class of 1902, bid you farewell
On Saturday May 81, Messrs. F.
Hooking, f. Jackson, Fl. Parmley
and Prof Bergen attended the annual
Field meet at Madison. Mr.. Hooking
contested in the shot put and hammer
throw, and Mr.. Parmley in the hum
dred yard dash. Although no points
were won by our representatives, they
made a good showing, and at the next
meet they will be better prepared and
will stand a better chance to win.
AS the time has arrived for US to
, lay down our pens and go forth into
the world, for three months at least,
we must end our happy labors. We
have done our best to keep up inter-
est in the school, and it is for the
reader to Judge whether we have snc-
ceeded or not Thanking the editors
of The Tribune and The Democrat for
the many favors shown u.s. and the
general public for the interest shown,
we bid you all FAREWELL Edito-
rial Board.
