The Sauk Centre herald., 1911-06-08

such large numbers, this evening, is
but an earnest of your good will. We
regard it as a token of the welcome
that you will give us in the affairs OF
the world as we now commence life's
journey.
A few years ago it was the custom
to have the members of the gradual
ing class furnish all the numbers on
the program, but as Tennyson says
"The old order changeth, yielding
place to the new.'
Standing now, as it were, at the
threshold of life, we do not feel that
it is our place to tell what we have
| learned to those more experienced.
We have never had a chance to try
adopted the plan of having as a
speaker, man who has met with
some of the problems which the world
will present to us and who under
stands what life is. 1t is in his pow
er to give us something which we will
cherish in our hearts and to set be-
fore us higher ideals and nobler mo-
tives than we would set for ourselves.
We have chosen as our class motto
the words ''Nihil sine Labore," which
translated into English is Nothing
without Labor" Throughout our
high school course we have looked to
this motto and tried to do our best.
Still, although there have Been re-
sponsibilities which we have had to
carry, there has thus far been some
one back of us who has taken the
great share of the burdens from our
shoulders. Therefore, perhaps, we
cannot fully realize what our motto
means. However, as we must now
bear our own responsibilities, we shall
learn to know, more and more in the
coming years, the real significance of
these words.
Once more we thank you for the
interest you have shown in us and
tender to you our greetings.

Friends and classmates: Through
me as a representative, the class of
1911 extends their farewell
We, like the classes which have
graduated, are to say good bye and to
make our final departure from the
Sauk Centre high school. But we are
also here as an incentive to the clas-
ses which are to come after us. We
do nOt want to make our commence
ment such a sad affair that it will
hinder others from following in
our footsteps. If we do, they per-
haps will feel like some of us felt
when we first attended commence
ment exercises. On that particular
night the Seniors seemed so sad about
| leaving, that we were almost fright
ened out of beginning. Just bear in
mind that "practice makes perfect
and you will soon find out that truly
Experience is the mother of inven-
tion."
To our parents: We wish to ex-
tend our heartfelt thanks for what
you have done for us, by encourag-
! ing us to keep on. We expect to
spend many more years with you, so
that we shall have plenty of chances
to express our gratitude to you.
Superintendent Angus: Tonight
we thank you for your labOrS in our
behalf during our entire high school
course. We were first introduced to
you in an algebra class, when Fresh
men, and we feel that you send us
away W h clearer understandings
and higher ideals. For the sake of
the classes coming after us, we wish
that you were going to remain in
Sauk Centre longer.
Members of the Board of Educa-
tion: We feel that the improvements
made in the interior of the building
were intended especially for the bene-
| fit of the class of. 1911.
Dear teachers: 1t is a difficult task
