CLASS OF TEN GRADUATES
 FROM WOODSTOCK ACADEMY

orabie. During this experience each of us has been under the same careful and loving guidance of the one ia culty; that faculty Co whom we owe an thanks for their hard and unselfish work in our behalf. In athletic &C., tivities the thrills, whether of defeat or victory. have been the same for all. The same problems have confronted us. We have all been puzzled by the same irregular verb, the same chemi- cal symbols. the same mathematical f0rmulae. The lofty ideals Of Wood stock Academy taught Co one of us have been taught to all. As united whole we have strivsn to uphold, in her social activities. the name of our Alma Mater Gold and blue we have stood shoulder to shoulder in a com mon effort to reach ourselves. and Go help elevate. her high scholastic standard. All this must change.
 The present brief moment, the greatest m our lives till now, is one of rejoicing. We are honored by the presence of this great and distinguish ed body of alumni and friends. We have had honor conferred by the pre- sentati0n of diplomas. In different sense, however, it Is a sad occasion. We are assembled here as the gradu- ating class of 1924, never as students to see again our beloved teachers and the walls of dear old W. A. We are leaving behind us the good times. the basket ball games, and all. We are face to face with the future
 Bound Together Forever
 The great change of the present moment is this. that here our paths separate, scenes change, occupations will be different, degrees of success, as the world measures, whether it be money or the esteem of mankind, will vary. Some of us will possibly be thousands of miles from others, thousands of miles from our cherish ed Academy. But is everything from this time forth to be separation2 After four years of experiences which are identical, is there possible a com plete isolation2 Classmates, we know well that although scenes and oceu- pati0Hs change, yet the deeper of these experiences of the past are com i mon property for a lifetime of earthly existence and for mere than life time of influence. h these we shall never be separated The same high ideals gained from this noble school will bind Us forever.
 With that deep-seatcd and fervent loyalty to Woodstock Academy, SO well merited. let us highly resolve to be good alumni: to cooperate in every good project; specifically to stand ready with all possible assistance to the cause of the Hall Memorial Gym. nasium. Let us further resolve to realize fully the highest significance of our diplomas, not as mere pieces i. of parchment. but as means of unit ing for life our own names with our school; tn live so that our lives may raise, not lower may honor. not de- base. the great and noble name of Woodstock.
