From the ,·cry first \\'C made the school boom with our successful dances and socials . \\'e proved the fact that "Tn union there is strength," for in all om· undertakings we stood as one united ,vhole, and ha\'C done so ever smce. The result of this fact has been envied by the other classes. It was the way we started out that has made our school life the success it has proYed to be. Tn 1910 we took up our work once more \\'ith a Yim . \]though being fewer in number, we stood by our colors and showed or loyalty in all school activities. Our Junior year was the most pmsperous. \\'e kept the school spirit bun~ing within every sudent. and, \\·ith the united efforts of our teachers, clicl the best work we had eYer done. Now comes our last year, in which we ha,·e become lllfliT dignified and sedate. l3ut we show up just as much as before. because it is our bovs who stand at the head of the "\thletic Club, Debating Club. X Y Z Club. ancl a ll the ,·arious school activities. And we certainly feel proud of them. as also do all the other students. Our aim this year has been to promote the general welfare of the school and leave a mark of our existence and integrity in the school, ancl. as the poet says. "In p:uting leave behind us footprints on the sands of time."

:\E of the most important questions confronting the people of this nation at the present day is that of influencing and directing a greater number of people to -.-.-,- prepare themselves with knowledge and self-reliance, that may he applied for the henefits of mankind as a ' whole. Then. with this question before us. it is hut natural that we study the conditions which aid or hinder the possession of these two fundamentals of life-knowledge and self-reliance. The last may be obtained to a great degree while securing knowledge ;uvl hy applying it after it has been obtained. Therefore, knowledge and its extent is the main thing to be considered. The general tendency of the people who have not received the a<hantagcs of the college is to exonerate themselves for their position and conditi<>n in life. \t present. in some commu111t1es at least. there appears to he a law. l>r a common prestige. that the college is only for those who arc -;ocialh· fit. and who haYc an n·cr-ready means for all functions. .\11 ~xpericnced men would label this sentiment as ern>r ancl folly, and they would rather agree with the statement oi a recent writer. that "Before the bar of marks and grades the pcnniles~ ad\'enttll·cr and the rich man',; son stancl equal. ..
