To teach the young idea how to

To pour the fresh instruction DER

To breathe the enlivening spirit and

The generous purpose in the glow

Thus we address you dear teachers.
A little feeling of sadness comes over
our happy spirits as We realize We
are leaving the joys and pleasures of
school life so dear. We have spent
four important years of our lives un-
der your care and under your direc-
| ton and have received the training
| which will form a large part of our
equipment for life.
Many of the lessons taught and
much of the advice which you have
given us has not fallen on unheeding
ears. If We have been obstinate and
disobedlent We beg forgiveness and
now in the name of my class whose
| representative l am proud to be, | bid
you farewell with the hope that your
memory of us shall be as pleasant as
ours shall always be of you.

are about to reap, are a largely a.

you for what you have accomplished
not only for us but for those before

loyalty for what you have done and
are doing. With loving appreciation
for your kindness We wish you con-
tinued success.

the old class room in your Gre and
thought. We don't expect to be re-
membered long by each of you, for
our places will be taken. We shall
always, when lonely, think of the
companiOnship which We had here
with you For the most of us, this
is the final good bye.
And now, dear classmates, We stand
together for the last time. Another
year of our school life is finished.
Day after day We have asseP@,lec
and the associations which I"
around this school are more VIVID =
our minds this evening than ever
before, and can never be forgotten.
To any of us the education which We
have obtained here will be our only
capital for start in life, and for
whatever wealth and honor We may
win in this world we shall be large
IL indebted to this institution. Let
us ever think of our school with af-
fection and gratitude. Each of us
must take his path alone and push on
his journey until death overtakes him.
We shall soon separate never to
unite in the class room again, but
let us carry sunny spirits into the
world and not darken life at this
moment by sad thoughts of our de-
parture. We cannot stay longer.
The time has come for parting. We
are nearer together than ever before,
and if our next meeting be in the
great hereafter, may an unclouded
path of glorious labor, toll and tri-
umph lead back amid and beyond the
scenes of life to this spot where We
now say farewell.
