There are many other things which
are also included under our motto,
Loyal and True" In fact our whole
life should be an example of loyalty to
our fellow men and to any good cause
with which we may be associated Let
us strive to be ever loyal and true to
ourselves, our ideals, our friends, to
our school, to our country, to our God.
Then perhaps we shall see the time
when ''the world has been made ready
for democracy,"-times such as those
of which Lord Alfred Tennyson spoke
when he said:
''For I dipped into the future far as
human eye could see,
Saw a vision of the world and all the
wonders that would be
When the war-drum throbbed no long,
er and the battle-f1ags were furled
In the parliament of man, the fedora

Dear teachers: We owe it to you in
a great measure that we have been
able to complete our work here. You
have instructed us patiently; you have
guided US safely past all obstacles;
and you have often encouraged us
when we ourselves were discouraged.
You have very successfully endeavor-
ed to make our class periods so pleas
ant that we can now recall them with
pleasure. Besides teaching us the
simple required facts you have taught
us many of those principles which
ought to help us to live the lives of
good and true men and women. For
all these things which you have done
for us, the class of 1917 extends to you
it's heartfelt thanks and wishes you
as much success in the future as you
have had in the past.
Fellow Students: To you also we are
greatly indebted, for you have always
done all in your power to make the
time which we have spent here, as
pleasant for us as possible. For this
we wish to thank you also and we
wish you much success in your work
here or wherever you may go. When
the time comes for you to take your
place here as graduates, we hope you
may be able to recall as pleasant hours
| with your fellow students as we can
| now recall those spent with you. We
| also hope that wherever you may go,
you will not forget the members Of the
class of 1917.
Dear Classmates: The time has now
come when we as classmates must
say goodbye to one another. I am
sure we are all agreed that the time
we have spent here together could
scarcely have been more pleasant, and
it makes us sad indeed to think that
1t is now past. We will not soon for.

laughter which we are accustomed to
hear echoing thru these halls and
many time we will wish that we
were back again as students at the
Willmar Seminary. But we have now

We have adopted as our class colors
the national Ncolors, red, white and
