Wallace Murphy, junior, spoke
to the toast "The Seniors" He re-
ferred to the extreme pleasure which
the juniors took in showing their
love and esteem for the seniors.
The latter had stood as barrier
to the aspirations and fame of the
juniors during the past year. The
juniors had been cramped up be-
tween the conservatism of the SEN
Tors ON the one hand and the aspir-
ing ambitions of the sophomores on
the other, but they would miss the
seniors. I'VE want you to think
that you are still a part of the
school and to visit us as often as
possible" he concluded.
Superintendent Sperry responded
to the toast, "The Faculty." and paid
the high school faculty a high CON-
pliment. He said: 81 hope that
you have appreciated the high school
faculty as much as I have, and that
you have realized the extra work
that they have done, and that you
realize what this sort of thing means
to them, and the sacrifices they
have made Of their spare time and
evenings. They have done it to try
to make your life in the school
better and happier. The faculty is
one to be proud of, and it would
be hard to find it's equal in the
state. l never knew more har-
monious, hardworking, alert body of
teachers, and | am very glad that
the most of them are to be back
the coming year, and / trust that
you will not forget them. l can
only wish you all kinds of success
and pleasant finishing of this
school year.
The POSTMASTER quoted Miss
O'Donnell as remarking that the
tire of a wheel depends upon the
length of the spokes. There had
been only three short spokes this
evening, so the tire was not great.
The young people lost no time in
clearing the tables and chairs away,
that the dancing might be INDUCED
in, and the remainder of the even
ing was devoted to tripping the light
fantastic by those who knew how
to do so. Lamm's orchestra fur
nished the music, and arrived from
the Elks building in time to rem
der few selections while the ban
Quet was still in progress.
Most of the members of the
school board and their wives, and

tended the reception and banquet.
