The graduating class consists of
seven girls and three boys. A more
agre, able class never graduated from
any high school Although in prepa-
ration and thOroughness. they are
not all that might be- desired. they
will compare favOrably with the
graduating class OF any other high
school In the State. Best Of all. they
realize their shortcomings and de-
ficiencies and are anxious To correct
them. They are ambitious for a bet
ter education, at least seven of them
having expressed the intention OF
entering college next fall They have
made a remarkable record in attend
ance. a record Of which the town
and the school may justly feel proud.
With one exception. not a member Of
the class has been absent or tardy a
time during the term. Unfortunately,
duty demanded that one Of the class
should leave school TO accompany a
sick relative to New Mexico. Only
the call Of duty could have drawn
him away from school. A better.
cleaner young man does not reside In
Gainesville. He Is Justly popular
with his classmates and school
mates.

The bridge is in daily use by the

comment from all who see II, and
civil engineers are especially inter
