SEVENTEEN'S MEMORIAL
To continue old customs of the school, and to inaugurate new ones, has been the aim of
the class of Nineteen Hundred Seventeen. In accordance with this, we have left as our memorial a bright and shining addition to the exterior beauty of our Alma Mater--two attractive bronzed poles, bearing electric lights, placed one on each side of the walk leading to the main entrance to the building. The need of better lighting for the front of the school has been recognized, and Seventeen has seen fit to supply this necessity.
In dedicating this memorial, the members of Nineteen Hundred Seventeen, individually and collectively, do so as a most profound expression of heir deep reverence and devotion to the Chester High School.
