Ctaes Ifyietoxp X the fall of 1907 we began our existence as the Senior-Middle Class, twenty-nine strong, a sorrowful mixture of verdancy and fright. Now, in the spring of 1909, the class has diminished to twenty-three, but, we are glad to say, it has lost the two above mentioned objectionable qualities. The festivities of the year were begun by a straw ride to Haggett ' s Pond. The next event was the Senior Dance in February, and to this we invited the Senior Middlers, which, of course, added greatly to the success of the evening. On March 23, Miss Chickering gave us a ver delightful party in the Senior Parlor. On May 11, the Trustees and Miss Means gave the annual spring dance to the Seniors and Senior Middlers. The Class banquet, the crowning event of the year, is to be held on May 28, and we are all looking forward to it with a great deal of pleasure, even though it is one of the last times that we shall all be together. In the rush and hurry for Commencement, the Academic Seniors are for- getting the weary hours spent in preparation for the Psychology exam, and Senior essay, and the College Seniors can hardly believe that they have ever heard such a thing as a four o ' clock alarm on Saturday morning. But there is no one who does not cherish pleasant memories and tender feelings toward those who have helped us in our work here. Every incident in our school life will serve a purpose. We are benefited by having had obstacles to overcome, and by them we can appreciate the more the discipilne of the Faculty. Our thoughts sober, and we are filled with gratitude, when we realize what they have done for us. Albert A.

Written by the cage of cats. 63 pernor QMpMef On June the fifteenth of the year nineteen-nine, A Senior went forth at the head of her line. But before she departed this school of her choice, She confessed to a crime in a meek, ashamed voice. " I have studied Phychology, Shakespeare and Art, I have swallowed whole books and learned others by heart, But of all the hard tasks, the hardest I know, Is remembering my letters in the order they go. " So they gave her this rhyme, lest she should forget Their names and the letters in our Alphabet. A is for Albert, called commonly " Slim, " She ' s a mighty good comrad and not at all prim. B is for Beulah, the basket-ball shark. Her Tennis and Hockey are both up to the mark. C is for Carol, who hates going to bed. She ' s eternally suffering from a cold in her head. D is for Dorothy, the hard working one, She always is studying by lamplight or sun. E is for Eva, who was sick in the Spring, We hope she ' ll come back, and her charms with her bring. F is for Fuller, the wit of the class, It also means Florence, the athletic lass. 64 G stands for a girl by the name of Gardner, She ' ll make some happy man a mighty good partner. H is for Helen, a most popular name, T. M. and H. grace thi- class book of fame. J st inds for Janet, and Fairy Blackstick, In a world full of girls she ' d be any man ' s pick. K is for Knox. neat, modest and staid, We ' ll never forget our dear " .Manchester Maid. " L is for Leila, whose name once was " Gruffy, " But no matter what happens, she never gets huffy. M stands for Mary, and Mary Belle G. From Maine down to Georgia none sweeter could be. N stands for Xorpell or " my Tubby dear. " That she ' ll ever lack friends, she need never fear. P is for Perry, the Hockey team ' .- pride. She modestly trie- all her good points to hide. S stand- for Soule so quiet and nice. She doesn ' t mind rat . though .-he never liked mice. T stands for Twiss, whose big brown eyes, Cause numerous heart-ache- and deep, manly sigh-. V -land- for Van Horn, who is going to Smith, Her beauty and brightness are surely no myth. Weber, Whitten and Wright, our bravest and best, The three most beloved by all of the rest. 65 Q0efioeen tfyt (Cfocfi an t$t $a in It was ten o ' clock on the morning of the fifteenth of June, and Draper Hall was really quiet. The hall clock on the landing drew a sigh of relief, and turned to the Faun who was dreamily looking out of the window. " How quiet it seems with everybody gone to the church, and the seniors who ' ll come back, not seniors but dear old graduates. I certainly shall miss them, but they ' ve been such a noisy, energetic class, it ' s almost a relief to have them s:one. " 66 The faun nodded. " It will seem queer not to hear that Albert Smith forever hunting for her room-mate Tubby and calling everybody " kid " ! Louise is less troublesome and she always had so much interesting news for every- body. Really. 1 shan ' t know what ' s going on in this school without her. " " Talking about noisy people, " interrupted the clock, " how about Frances Wright, and Beulah McCarty and Janet Gorton? I think Janet and Beulah must have spent most of their time arguing. I ' ve never yet seen them agree on any subject. Remember how they scrapped about Hamlet ' s being sane or insane? " " Lin. " grunted the faun, " and Prances, well! she ' s generally up to some- thing and always choking at the wrong time. How she did cough the night all the seniors went down to their parlor and told ghost-stories. " " Yes, and kept me awake till all hours of the night and actually made me shiver, their teeth chattered so when they were coming back. " " That window-seat looks sort of lonesome without Helen Whitten and -Maybell Gilbert, doesn ' t it? " sighed the faun. He really was a sentimental old fellow though he didn ' t look so. The big round moon in the clock ' s face looke.l knowing and winked one eye. " Maybell is more fun than a goat. " said the clock, who occasionally indulged in slang, " and energetic when — " " When -he wants to be. " finished the faun. " Really, you are getting terribly slangy. I suppose you get the habit from Leila Fowler. She could take fir-t prize in that, and making fudge, too. " The clock waved one hand in apology and turned the subject. 67 " When you say energetic, it reminds me of Helen Weber and the way she used to tear clown the corridor to Ethics banging on every door with her book. She and her room-mate. Sally Knox, always had things done long before other people even thought of starting on them. " " That ' s like Beth Fuller and Helen Thomas in a way. " replied the faun. " They always got the history books first, and I know Beth used to have hers done days before hand. They were pretty fond of driving, too. Remember the day they got caught in a thunder shower and were drenched? " " Yes, and Edith Gardner got caught that same day down on the Old Railroad. I hate to have her go, for she ' s been here so long I feel as though 1 really knew her. She ' s s uch a sweet, thoughtful girl. " ' ' I shall miss her dreadfully. " sighed the faun. " I wonder who ' ll take Mary Bourne ' s place next year. Poor Mary, how she did hate to collect taxes. " The big hall door slammed just then and Beam ' s voice was heard crying, " I ' ve got my diploma, I ' ve got my diploma! " " Sh. " said the clock. The faun wiped away a tear. " Good-bve 1909. " he called, " and welcome 1910. " J. L. G. 68 T»M %t fc0ougft ( ). I ' ve met many girls who are pretty and sweet, And witty, and charmingly dressed; But for genuine fun and hearts of true blue The Seniors of Abbot are best. At tennis I played, with a tall, slender girl, And I have to admit that she won. Then read a few volumes of church history With Helen, the studious one. I di cussed Arts and Crafts for an hour, at least, With a most intellectual girl ; ' Till May Bell took me off for a long pleasant drive. While my poor brain was still in a whirl. After trying some time to get in a few words While Leila talked on, I confess I was glad to give up and have Beth read to me From her hero, the loved R. L. S. With Beulah I danced in the new sitting-room. And she whirled and she twirled on her toe : Hut whether I managed to keep in the step, And how it was done, no one knows. " A minister ' s wife they all say I ' m to be, " 69 Sally . aid; " so I ' ll take you around And show you the school where the theologs are, For my fate is yet to be found. " Then Edith played softly on her violin, And Frances, who followed soon after. Consented to sing, when sufficiently urged, But retired quite helpless with laughter. I sat in the alcove with two of the girls, And we talked in the friendliest way ; For Helen cracked jokes, and Louise told us all The exciting events of the day. In a moment unguarded I was seized on by one Who inquired, with a business-like air, " Won ' t you please advertise in the Courant this year? ' And I weakly agreed, then and there.
