Richard Palmer Prouty:
He who has no inclination to
learn more will be very apt to
think that he knows enough.
Grenville Spear Wilcox:

Marshall Hardy's address to
the undergraduates was full of
good counsel which came fttingly
from the lips of wise and grave
Seniors. In summing up his adj
I vice to them, he said, employ
your time wisely, study, and at
| tend to your own affairs. If you
follow this sage counsel We be-
lleve you will be the equal Of
any students who have ever
graduated from good old N. H.
! S.
Howard Root responded for the
Juniors and with much assurance,
declared that the coming class
would be the most wonderful ever
known in the history of N. H. s.
Richard ProutX so keenly felt
the lack of complete and prop
erly written history of the class
of 1922, that he resolved to write
one himself, in order that this
class might be more widely known
| and appreciated. Richard thinks
dates should never be used in
histories, but if used should be
disregarded. In his record of their
achievements he traces their ca
reer from verdant freshmen to
| the paragons of wisdom and
knowledge they have become, and
in closing says "Let US go out in
to the world with the firm resolve
that nothing but praise shall come
to this school from our lives in the
| future"
There are two prophets of the
class of 20, Thelma Hall and
Robert Akin, and they delved into
the future and prognosticated
great things for members of the
class of 1922. All will achieve
success, and riches. Several TO-
mances are uncovered and all are
to live happy ever after.
One young lady Miss Lillian
Mudgett, will reach the pinnacle
of fame as the future editor of
the Caledonian-Record. Maui
rice Alexander will be a great mo-
diste on Fifth Ave. Prouty will
control a syndicate of Service
Trucks. Larry Gardner resides
on an estate which he has named
Cranberry Point in memory of his
childhood home. "Shorty" Wilcox,
| chief draughtSmen of the great
Tap and Die corporation and
Glenna Donaghy chose the profess
sion of a nurse and giving her life
for others found her own true
love. Jim Addison is to own a
chain of Universal Addison Drug
stores.
The last will and testament of
the class was read by Grenville
Wilcox and the presentatin of
gifts to the Juniors was by Glenna
Donaghy.
To Beach BLY, was given the
explanation Of the class motto,
'Per Aspera AID Astra". 81 be-
lieVe that everyone ought to have
a motto and chould be careful to
choose a good one 1t seems rea-
sonable that he who chooses a
good motto, makes it his guide
and tries to live up to it, should
be more successful than he who
simply drifts along from day to
day with nothing to inspire and
encourage him.
Our motto translated literally
reads Through the Rough places
to the Stars, but we have taken
the liberty 10 translate it more
freely, as "Climb, Though the
Rocks be Rugged, since the
climb through life can be com
| pared so easily to the climb of
the mountaineer on the jagged
rocks of some snow capped peak

have but to turn from the physi-
cal to the mental to see that the
figure holds good in every day life.
Our great statesmen and men in
big business are not the ones
who have spent their lives in plea
sure-seeking alone, but they are
the ones who have taken every
opportunity to prepare themselves
for greater things. These who
have used their youth in prepare
ton for life will give the orders,
while those who have not will
have to obey.
The mountaineer often has to
strain his weary muscles to the
limit, but he must keep on or fall.
He will find a way out and so must
we in life. When we have con-
quered an almost impossible bar
rier in our path, how much more
courage we have for the next one
that we meet.
1t is also worth while for the
sake of our character develop
ment to strive upward and on
ward. Every time we resist a
temptation, it makes US stronger
to resist it the next time and it
