The Glass Of 'O6.

snort months We will bid farewell to
that great ship which has guided our
course for four years. the dear old
Fergus County High School, and
launch our own vessels upon the sea
of life with no anchor save our own
character and abilities.
AS the time draws near for us to
leave our High School life, our tho'ts
often return to the day. when as an
eager class of Freshman We entered
the High School, beginning our stud
les in the old red brick school house
on the hill-"dear are the memories
that cluster round it." Twenty of our
class received their diplomas from the
Lewistown Grammar school. In all
our class numbered thirty when it
was first enrolled. since then some
nave left and others have come to
take their places. until now our Sen
ior class boasts seventeen members
Oh. that first day. Do you remem
Der it my classmates. as we stood
awed by the visions of knowledge to
be gained and tasks to be accomplish
ed unrolled themselves before us?
But we had confidence, fought with a
will and now we feel as if We had con-
0uered.
Each and all of our instructors
have endeared themselves to us by
their kind help and faithful work for
us. We confidently feel that in no
other school could we have found bet
ter and truer friends to aid us in our
strife for knowledge. Whatever laur
els we, as a senior class may gain low
ingly and humby will we share them
with those who have been the ones to
aid us to obtain them
And now during these three months
that are left to us of our High School
life, let us work as we have never
worked before. Our life is before US
but never will it be so free from care
as now. When We are out in the world
many will be the times we shall look
back with love and longing on these
days which are now ours to do with
as we like.
TO our friends, the Juniors. we shall
soon resign our place. But wherever
we are, whatever we are doing in the
future. we will always wear with
pride the red and blue banner of our
Alma Mater
