us Sucn a ntt16 Wh1le- 1heSe exercises will seem doubly eventful to us as we glad to remember that we were the first class to hold such exercises in this hall and that we were the first class to receive our diplomas from MT. Slawson.
 MT. Simonds-
 For friendly advice and help, for many kindly and sympathetic words, we want to thank you. We thank you, too, for the suggestions and little les sons, given along the way and not to not for high school alone, but for our future lives. We are sorry for the mistakes we have made thodghtlessly and for the unnecessary work we may have caused through them but we shall always remember how quick MT. edge improvement and we shall al- ways thank him for this ready sympa- thy with the young people.
 To our teachers
 We want to thank you for the many helps over the difficult places, for striving to make our work interesting. We sincerely wish we had tried to learn more, that we had been more patient and persevering; but we trust that, with your kind help and Sug gestions, we have at least learned how to study whether we are in later years
  experiences. We thank you once more for the words of encouragement and the many good wishes which you have expressed to us. How we wish another might have stayed to add her kind word of interest and approval We shall strive to do the better work henceforthN because of her example and your help
 To my classmates
 We have all heard older people re- fer to their school years as the hap pfest part of their lives or we have heard them say that they wished they could live these years again Per haps,. when we were children and could not see far beyond the present this seemed strange. Lessons did not always go as smoothly as we thought they ought to go. An unusually hard test or an unsolved problem seemed a great trial But am sure we feel now that, even in the striving to full fl our motto Always to. excel" there has been happiness. And so, with this messag that we shall find pleasure in trying to fulfil that motto-I want to say goodbye and to tell you that I believe that these four years to- Eether will prove to be among the happiest ones of our lives.
