Likely That Crib Disaster at Chicago Cost

That the list of so known dead prob

bodies win be found further on and also

Realizing that certain precedentS must be estaD-
ished in the early life OF school, have tried to
help to make those the right kind. We you, who
remain in the high school and fill our places in the
ranks you who will enter to uphold and improve
those principles.
For one thing, class rivalry has thus been shut
out from our midst. Senior and Freshman mingle
one without regard to classes And there exists a
spirit of friendship and good will which is surpassed
in few schools. The question OF whether this will re-
main it is not is n problem you must meet and
solve the year two. We hope you will keep
it the same for class rivalry is the first step toward
the destruction of of the highest aims of high
school-strength through associations.
On account Of this spirit in the school, we have
gained more than a mere knowledge OF books. We
have learned that each of classmates is more
skilled in some line than we, and that from each we
have lessons to learn. We have formed friendships
which have strengthened and which will continue
strengthen though as friends are widely
separated
The time has come when we as students will leave
the high school forever behind us. a mist OF sad
steals when we think of it. We have en-
oyed work. play, and our associations there.
A short time will pass and we shall no longer be con-
OF the school but it will be long time be-

really gone from the life OF the school,
And yet we do not feel that parting from
you altogether but that in the toward real life,

you.
On this occasion class is separating Each

not know when shall meet again a class. But
whatever happens we know that the Hand which
guided thus far, will guide guard and protect
in the future. But such associations must ever be
broken and necessarily cause some sorrow, yet we

We know we shall have battles to fight and prob
