SCHOOL NOTES
(By D. w. and T. T.l


My goodness! How time does
fly! 1t seems but day since we,
the class of 1920, shyly poked our
noses into the great yawny assem-
bly, room. Yet know it is four
long years, brimming over with
joy and gladness. Of course, there
have been pains and sorrows too,
but with so much happiness, the
sorrows are overshadowed and
forgotten. Now we are leaving
school life behind to enroll into
life's school, and are fully equip
ped and prepared by the G. C. H.
S. to give to the world the best
there is in us. Always and for
ever we will hold high our motto
"Aim High" But say, what are
you folks who are left going to do
without US? Surely the school will
go to wreck and ruin. And what
is to be done! The only way out
of it l guess, is to bequeath to you
the instruments we found useful
in reaching our goal.
To the Junior Glass we leave
our Seniorship. Cherish it and
love it in preference to all other
things that may come into your
life for it is sacred trust. To
the Sophomore Class we leave all
the valuable advice you wish to
obtain concerning school affairs.
May it strengthen you and enable
you to live more faithfully for the
High school. To the Freshmen
Glass, our courageous and faith
full spirits; also our watch-word-
dig. To the Faculty we can only
leave the memory of many pleas
ant hours spent together, and our
appreciation of their earnest and
successful endeavors to place us
where we now stand.
Did you folks like that play we
gave June first? We hope so, for
we aim to please, and judging
from the various comments and
the money taken in, we believe we
did. The proceeds will go for
various, sundry school purposes.
Did not the whole affair portray
in vivid colors the exact picture
of the four consecutive years of
High school life, from the first
act when we were green and ver-
dant Freshmen to the last act in
which we had reached the height
of our ambition and CLEAN forth
in pure and lustrous white?
Last Sunday morning the Bac-
caleaurate service was held at the
M. E. church. The sermon preach
ed by Dean Peck was one long to
be remembered, while the special
music was greatly enjoyed and
appreciated by the members of
the Senior class.
Sunday afternoon number of
the High school students and
other desired ones went to Cold
Spring on a beefsteak fry. 1t was
certainly wonderful picnic, and
everyone says he had the best
time of his life. After marshmel-
lows had been toasted over a roar
ing campfire, and fair luna began
to "scintillate" her brightest
beams, the party took their res
pective places in the cars and
proceeded henceforth home, re-
GREETING the lend of a perfect
day."
Soon that magic hour, the goal
of every students fate will be at
hand-in fact, this very evening
at eight o'clock. The public is
most cordially invited to attend
the exercises at the opera house.
There to witness the grave and
reverend Seniors receive their
well-earned diplomas. l wonder
if anybody's knees will be knock
ing together or if they will be
shaking in their boots" on this
great occasion. Here's hopin' no
one will be in such state. for it
would not be upholding the class
dignity very well. ON.
Swiftly DER the rugged rockies
Sinks the sun to rest
Dark against the sunset splendor
Lowers the pine clad crest.
Now the twilight purple shadows
Wearied soul to rest invite,
Drowsy birds in sheltered
branches
