To My Little Second Grade:
As this is my last week at school
with you, I want to take this oppor
tunity of telling you just what you
little boys and girls mean to me.
Being with you as a teacher and
working every day together, I’ve
grown to love each and every one of
you. Your little kindnesses and smil
ing faces I’ll always remember. I
want you to go on through every
grade working just as hard and being
just as sweet as you are now.
Remember I love you and want you
to grow up to fine men and women.
Best wishes always.
Your teacher,
OLA MANN.

Fourth Grade Teacher
Leaves Parting Word
As we come to the end of the school
year there comes a t]ueer feeling of
saddness when we realize that soon
we must part —not to he together
again for three months! However, we
don’t mind happy vacation time when
we can play and get rested and ready
for a year of good work in the fifth
grade.
We have had pleasant times in the
fourth grade and feel that the year’s
work has been a success. One of the
many things that we have learned this
year is our health motto —"Cleanli-
ness is the first law of health.
At the beginning of the year Miss
Smith said that she would give a
Prize to the pupil who missed fewest
words in spoiling during (the year.
Carolyn Almand, having only one
Word recorded against her, will he
awarded this prize. A prize was also
offered to the boy and girl who re
ceived the most stars on the health
chart. I. G. Ellis and Carolyn Almand
have led here.
JOSEPHINE SMITH, Teacher.

filing in the right way.” We, the un

Wonderful Message
My Dearest Children: I have no sil
ver or gold to give you, but ere I
send you forward and our ways must
part, one lesson I can leave you for
each day.

And so make life, death, anil that vast
forever
One grand sweet song.”

A Splendid Message
to the Seventh Grade
To the seventh grade: Deep down in
the heart of every young American
lies an ambition to become great.
True greatness is within, not without.
It seems discouraging at time to find
Ihe work we can accoemplish so far
beneath what we endeavored to make
it, but we all have to learn one great
lesson in life and that is, that the
result of the bravest effort never
equals the conception of the soul. “Act
well your part, there all honor lies.”
Dear pupils, you must all know how
deeply I feel and can realize lmw
much I mean by the only words I can
find to say—God bless you!

Eighth Grade Message
of Timely Thoughts
AH of us, especially in our youth,
have an ambition to do great things.
This is not an unworthy ambition, hut
so often we forget the little things that
must he overcome before we attain
our goal. ,
The small things in life arc really
the ones which have the greatest ef
fect on us. If we are faithful in per
forming our small tasks, we wi ><?
enabled to meet greater responsibili
ties There is no action but leaves a
record which may he a blessing or a
em-se in our future lives. “Let every
occasion be a great occasion tov y™
cannot tell when fate may be taking
vour measure for a larger place.

Good Bye Seniors
We Wish You Well
“Lives of Seniors all remind as
They have worked and done their best,
And departing leave liehind them
Notebooks that will help the rest."
The senior class of ’2ll makes its
filial adieu Friday evening al 8:30.
This class collectively has left a good
record, and individually has aspired
to lofty heights. Talent and oppor
tunities are theirs. If they realize that
“labor vincat omnia,” success stands
ready with her crown.
The two artists in the class are Lu
ther Cowan and Anna Lee Wallis; the
former, anew Bud Fisher, the latter
a young Nell Brinkley. Those posses
sing unusual dramatic ability arc Ora
Guinn, Lula Mann and Howard Walk
er. Olive Mitcham, the best student,
is admired for her perseverance and
her splendid record. Steadman Tuck
lias aspirations to be another Lind
bergh and we hope his love of aero
planes and stunt flying will make him
just as famous us his hero. Mary
Alice Rice and Jewell Morris are tal
ented in many ways. They are stylish,
domestic and artistic. Mary Branham
Loftwieh is gifted witli her pen, and
to predict for her a literary career
would not he far wrong. Sarah Hew
lett looks forward t oa college ca
reer with the study of violin on the
side.
Rebecca Patrick desires to instruct
the young, so she will lie the only
teacher of the class.
Fanny ( Mue White, Rosebud Wil
son and Willie Sue Stanton tend to
ward business courses. Mary Tucker,
with her Irish quickness of speech
and her ambition, will be successful in
her chosen field. Hamilton McDonald
and Lewis Kent are destined to lie the
two business men of I lie class. Ralph
O’Neal is the chemist and wlien we
hear of his new startling theories we
will remember how sincerely he work
edwhile performing the experiments
in the laboratory and feel proud of
him. Mary Potts is never happier than
when in the Math, class. Her mathe
matical and analyzing mind will
bring her success.
MISS MARY HEWLETT, Teacher.
