The Class Gift.
Glass President John Falvey McCor-
mick represented the class in making
the usual parting gift to the school,
which this year was the sum of $50
for a running track and $40 more for
tablet. He spoke as follows:
1t is my great pleasure to present
to you for the class Of 1912 the Gus
tomary class gift. This year it takes
the form of a sum of $50 to be used in
the construction of a running track
around the athletic field. There is also
sum of $40 for a suitable tablet upon
which shall be engraved the names of
the various other donors.
In selecting this gift we do so with
the4dea that athletics are beneficial to
the high school student, and it being
| impossible for all to play baseball and
football, we feel that this track will
give ample opportunity for everyone to
secure good healthy outdoor exercise.
Furthermore, we have all seen how
our graduates have succeeded on col
| lege track teams, and it goes without
saying that Academy students will
bring distinction both to themselves
and to the school when they have the
| benefits of earlier training.
This gift is only slight token Of
our appreciation, and l hope in the
years to come We may be better able
| to show our gratitude for that great
gift Of education we have received
from you.
Rev, DR.. Pratt, president of the trus-
