Presidents Welcome

Gerard Huiskamp, president OF the
class Of 1914, welcomed the mothers,
fathers and friends of the class to the
class day exercises in the following
well chosen words:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The class wishes to extend to you
this morning a hearty welcome and
to thank you for your interest In onr
class day. 1t Is not generally under
stood how class day originated and
what it's purpose is, SO l shall take a
few minutes to explain.
Formerly class day was the day on
which the class gathered together for
the last time for social purposes. DUE
ing this meeting. certain members
furnished various forms of amuse-
ment for the entertainment of the
class AS 1t seemed selfish for each
class to keep its pleasure to itself It
has been the custom to open the doors
to those who are interested and wish
to enjoy the last social meeting OF
the class with them. Also custom
has arranged the forms Of amusement
into set program. And, SO, we too
have welcomed you this morning and
have provided the customary enter
tainment.
In this program we have history,
which takes us back over incidents OF
our school life and calls up pleasant
memories. On the other hand we
have a prophecy in which is shown In
an optimistic and joking manner what
future is appropriate for each OF our
number Also, as this Is the last time
we met under our own direction, 1t Is
fitting for US to have will prepared
and read But since we are not gath
cred together for the purpose of griey-
ing, the will has great deal OF the
ridiculous in it. We also have an or
alton and a poem which are rendered
for our entertainment by members OF
ability. In the course of our merry
making, our happiness demands a
song SO we have authorized certain
members of talent to compose song
for us.
If we over-estimate our ability or
originality this morning, remember
that with thinking of what fine class
we are, we are cheering ours elves
from the sad thought of leaving our
school associations. AT this point l
take the opportunity to thank our
teachers whose altruistic labors have
placed us in the position we now
hold. And so, We feel grateful to
them for their service and sad at the
thought Of parting.
But let US turn to happier thoughts
and enjoy ourselves together. / sim
cerely hope that every one will enter
into the spirit of our program and
that you will long remember this day.
l thank you.

THE CLASS POEM

The class poem which was COM
posed by Elizabeth Nancy Wilson,
was read by her as class poetess. The
poem entitled "In Flight" follows:
AS young birds from their nests are
attempting to fly,
When still weak and their wings
they SO hopefully try,
Their pinions, INFESTED, will fall oft
to bear
Them upward and onward through
thin, patEless air.
They flutter, they struggle IN efforts
to RISE
These venturesome messengers OF
the far skies
They sink, then they fall, but at last
soar aloft,
Now high, and now higher, amid
cloudlets soft.
OF failure they know not. they only
achieve,
Most fruitful their efforts when dull
earth they leave.
Their earnest endeavors are crowned
with the best,
These f1edglings so eager to leave
the home nest.
On pinions grown strong, they are
now borne along
Till high in the heavens resounds
their glad song,
Ever singing of joy with full-throat.
ed ease,
The thrill of their rapturous hearts
to appease.
Thus we, like the birds, from these
portals so wide,
Henceforth on the bosom OF life must
now glide,
Taught by them for highest in life to
aspire,
That the truest, the noblest, must be
our desire.
Oft fond backward glances well cast
to you here,
To mr. own Alma Mater, our mother
most dear,
you've guided and cherished our
steps throughout youth,
You've urged us from childhood to
CLEAN but the truth
sull onward and onward, success be
our lot,
May each hidden future be unstaaned
by blot:
Nav Fortune her mantle Ger each
head extend.

Class Historical Sketch

The history of the class OF 1914
was written and read by Irwin French
Coombs, whose chronicles Of the
doings of that body here appear:
History is, as we all know. state
ment of facts regarding a certain thing
or class of things, for specified
length Of time.
When | was elected to put into
writing the history of the Great Class
of 1914, l thought that the best place
to find the facts would be in Father
Times diary. He was glad to let me
have it and / will now tell you what l
found about the class of 1914

Will of Class Of IL

Walter Nichols was the scrivner Of
the class will which contains the fol.
lowing requests of the class of 1914:
To the esteemed and beloved heirs
of the class of 1914:
Bereaved friends We are gathered
here this morning to bear witness to
the reading of the last will and tes-
lament of the deceased class OF 1914.

CLASS DAY IS CELEBRATED
WITH FITTING CEREMONY.
THE CLASS SONG

The music for the class song Fare
we'll was written by Albert P. Jen-
kins. The words by Helen Palmer
Gray follow:
Farewell.
Today we sing our farewell song
To her our Alma Mater;
The goddess who has led us long
In study and endeavor.
We leave her now for other paths
That life has spread before us,
And praise we give to her who has
So long been guardian DER US.
CHORUS
Our Alma Mater! All we ask
Is tina, she still watch DER US,
And gir power to meet each task
And .onquer all before US.
The work she set US now Is done;
We hope twas done with honor.
Our first great goal is reached and
won
The prize we set to conquer.
BY earnest work alone we reach;
And by this truth she's brought US
To where We too may live and teach
The lessons she has taught us.

many amusing stunts, such as walking
la string with pair of opera glasses
turned with a small end out, and build
Ing puzzles with matches. In the
presence of the faculty, OF course, no
one was tempted to be indiscreet.
Another sleighing party was enjoyed
in February OF 1914 After the ride
the class was entertained by Beulah
Brumback and Marjorie Moore, at the
home OF the latter. where an oyster
stew delighted all present.
In class organization this class has
always been unique. Even in the
Freshmen year the class had several
meetings to make plans for the Halo
we'en class party.
As Sophomores the class held a
meeting at Harry Pagett's, but it was
worse than no meeting at all because
no one had any Authority and nothing
was accomplished.
The Junior class was small one but
you would not have known II from the
noise they made at class meetings.
The president was Albert jenkins: vice
president; Arthur Kirby: secretary,
Walter Schwartz; treasurer, Horace
Huxley The management OF the
banquet in June showed the wonder
full executive ability OF the class. Al
though the class was small, the num-
Der OF guests was very large, and the
banquet the very best ever, the treas
urer was able to report that there
was money in the treasury after all
the bills had been paid.
In the senior year there were ten
more boys in the class than girls,
which is quite remarkable thing.
The officers for the year were Gerard
Huiskamp, president; Elizabeth Nan
cy Wilson, vice president; Walter
Schwartz, secretary; and Arthur Kir-
by, treasurer. The class has finally
learned to address the chair before
expressing its ideas and this is a
great improvement over old ways.
There are several in the class who
have oratorical ability. When a
sophomore. Helen Palmer Gray took
first prize in the Keohi declamatory
contest. In the junior year Mary Rich
received the third prize and In the
captured first place and Nina Hodge,
second.
Some of the class have extraordin-
airy ability along different lines from
those mentioned. Ada Field promises
to be a dancer of some note. Harry
Pagett is delving in wireless teleg-
raphy," and will some day be heard
from Clarence Alling is head Of the
Boy Scouts of the city. Wyman Boil
ton has recently been elected chief OF
the "Cube-eaters Society" a chemis-
try organization. He is also the ami
able assistant of Mr.. Rogers in the
manual training department.
From the foregoing think that you
will agree that in mental ability,
scholastic attachments. moral quality
and the superlative degree Of pulchri-
tude the class of 1914 is undoubtedly
the best that has ever graduated from
the Keokuk high school.

Picnic This Afternoon
at Bluff Park.

The class Of 1914 of the Keokuk
high school celebrated class day this
morning. This Is the first OF the big
events of commencement week, and
as the name implies is the day in
which the class is the entertainer.
The program is gotten up by the
class, and consists of various num-
beers in which the class takes part.
Class day exercises were held in the
auditorium of the high school, and
the big room was crowded to its
capacity with the mothers, fathers
and friends of thu class.
The platform at the front Of the
assembly room had been transformed
into a pagoda OF green and white, the
class colors. The rail at the front
was wrapped in white, and from the
floor to thu rail were tackled stream
ers of green and white intertwined.
The pillars at the corners were dec
Grated in the colors, and the over
head supports Of thu platform also
were wrapped in bunting.
Streamers of bunting were caught
UP from these supports to point on
the wall at the back. A solid back
ground OF green and white has been
built against the wall and on this in
block figures were the numerals OF
the class 1914" The numerals in
white were displayed against the
green ground and the two which
vera made In green were displayed
against a white ground. The entire
effect was striking, and the senior
boys who worked yesterday to SO
decorate the assembly room deserve
much credit for their efforts.
The class wore their cap and gowns
OF gray at the exercises this morning.
Following the final number OF the pro-
gram they sang verse OF their song
and then passed out OF the assembly
room.
Class Of "a Enters.
To the strains of a march played
by the orchestra, the class entered
tn. assembly room this morning,
marching down to their seats at the
side of the platgorm, accompanied
by the applause of the assemblage.
