Its schools and churches, sweet re-
treats
That guide our steps Alright.
And now in nineteen-nine we look
With pride upon its name
Forever may we love the stream
And glory in it's fame.
To us the value is far more dear
Than any we have seen
And on it's banks we love to roam
On carpets soft and green.
And when the day draws near it's
close
And sun is sinking low
We love to gaze upon the scere
Mid memory's afterglow.
..s through this life we onward go
Mid pleasures and mid tears
Its victories won, its constant flow
Shall calm our rising fears.
ps-l ES--
As flows the quiet peaceful stream
Down toward the endless sea,
4 symbol of this life's fair dream
Is seen by you and me.
May our life's journey peaceful be
AS the rivers flowing tide
And may we gain home at last
Upon the other side.
Our Banks was the theme of tine
class oration by Ila Delphine SIM

In the financial world, the bank
N ic a
sity. The business man, the labor
er and the individual who has money
for safe keeping, need to use the
bank. In the same way as banks
are the minds of people, intellectual
and ideas. The class of '09 have
been gathering funds for safe keep
ing all through their school years.
From history they have found the
essential qualities of the great men
who played the all important parts;
from literature, from science and
from many others they have gather
ed treasurers for their mental banks.
People are also banks of issue.
Every thought and idea that we
give forth should bear the stamp of
value and genuineness upon it. The
world can not be run without money,
neither can our own world of self be
run without the coin of sense" THE
PENNIES OF FRIENDLY WORDS,
the nickels of kind suggestions and
the dimes of cheerful sentiment are
small but now indispensable in car

borrowed thought-funds. The funds |
which we put into circulation their |

he value and beauty of the ideas we |
put into daily circulation.
