The daily sentinel., 1905-05-26
NALEDICTORY.

We assemble tonight for the last time as a
class. The hour has come for to say good
bye and depart each one to his chosen task.
For four years we have journeyed together;
from this time on we journey apart.
Members of the faculty, we must say fare
well to you. You, who have helped us over
many hard place in the road. You. who
have made the way plain before us. When
have been discouraged you have cheered
with kind words; when we have done our
tasks well you have praised us We are
better for having associated with you. You
have been our friends and advisers. We owe
much-very much-to you, and we appreciate
what you have done for us.
Fellow students. l see that all of you. es-
pecially the Juniors, are glad to get rid OF
us. We recprocate your wish. We long
gain wider conquests; to go where people
will stand in awe of our infinite knowledge;
whore irreverent Sophomores no more annoy.
nor ignorant Juniors scon.
Oh Juniors, glad to let you step
into our shoes We are willing that YOU
should sit whore were accustomed to sit.
1t will give us infinite JOY to see you digging
out Cicero word at time to see you
learning and reciting long quotations from
Chaucer; to hear you complain that you can
not find the H2o bottle We have wlled you
many useful things from magnificent es-
tate. We hope you will use them wisely.
1t is our wish that you should make your
class the greatest in the history of the school.
though we have our doubts on that subject.
Oh. sophomores. may you profit by our
great and glorious example and walk in our
footsteps; and ye, o, simple and guileless
Freshmen. do as we have done and you will
become great and famous.
And yet we leave YOU with regret. Re
gret because we shall no longer have the op-
portunity of showing you our wonderful store
of knowledge; regret because we can give YOU
no more advice; regret because you Will be
obliged to go on without our wise guidance.
Fellow students, have had many good
times together. We shall look upon our
school days as the happiest in all our lives.
As we 70 farther on lifes journey difficulties
will arise. We viii be obliged to compete
with Others or wiser than we There will
be much less time for pleasure than we have
had in school. And then it will be pleasant
TO think of the happy hours spent with you
during our High School career We will of
ten think of you. and the memory will be
pleasing.
Classmates, leave this High School with
regret There is sadness in the parting: but
what a wailing there would be if we were
obliged to stay here another year. Yes. con
sistency is n jewel, and we. poor Seniors. can
h'i thNlh II. nut Nneu We nave reason TO ne
sad. II gives us great sorrow to think of
what viii become of us next year. We are
Seniors now. Next year we will be Fresh
men. Is 1t not sad to think Of? We, who
have been revered by the Freshmen admired
by the Sophomores, and looked to for advice
by the Juniors, will become Freshmen, de
spised and rejected by college Sophomores
Where. then will be our glory? the laurels
we have won? Gone. all gone! Is it not
sad to think of?
We have had many pleasant times during
our High School career We expect to have
other pleasant times during our college cours-
es. School life is not over for us yet Our
happiest days Will not end till we 20 out into
the world, alone. to fight lifes battles: and
when we do will remember with pleasure
the happy hours we have spent with our
classmates. We will stir continue in school:
we will seek higher and better knowledge;
but not class. We 20 to different col
leges. We must part from each other. The
work OF the Glass of 1905 is done We go to
other greater tasks. each one by a separate
path; and must part from one another.
sad though that parting be.
Classmates, hope that each and every one
of YOU will succeed and become famous in
