thus concealed, it eluded my elbow, and fell to the floor with a noise which, at the time, I felt was unnecessarily loud. During the regime of Mr. Brown we had a right easy time of it but when Miss Kate Hobbs entered on the scene of action we lived the strenuous life and- no mis- take. As fond as I am of Miss Kate, I am sure that if she were suddenly to enter the room and look at me as she used to look upon the scholar who missed a question in class, I would quail and plead for mercy. Whew-iv-w, don't you remember the shudders which involuntarily seized us when the danger signals flew in Miss ifKate's cheeks, and she addressed the offender searchingly concerning his offence. 'Twere well to mind your p's and q's and NOT whisper and NOT write notes when Miss Kate's eyes wandered in your direction. But she was a splendid teacher. When she taught you anything, it stuck. Miss Katie had but one fault. She made us learn quotations She wrote them on the blackboard, we wrote them in a book. Then we learned them by heart and recited them in unison., I shall' always dislike Long- fellow's Building of the Shipi' from hearing Thou too, sail on butchered by a unison rendition If you couldn't recollect the quotation being given, it was a good scheme to look intelligent and make your lips go. It sometimes fooled Miss Kate, and I leave the hint for the students of today, if Mr. Noble or Miss Lizzie gives them quotations to learn. In those days there were wicked, wicked boys who used to-SMOKE CIGAR- ETTES l O tempora O mores l And as the tobacco perfumed them more or less their sin sometimes found them out and retribution overtook them The girls of his class once declined to sit beside '1 box because of the ordor of tobacco smoke which like the perfume of the rose in Moore s poem hung round him still e felt awfully virtuous about doing that I remember Iwonder I do wonder what would have been done to a girl so bad find bold as to smoke cigarettes l I Judge that when the teachers were through with her Mr Bates Stephens and the School Board would have had an inquest over the remains and g1VC11 a verdict of Total de pravity It was nice to have Mr Stephens visit the schools though With what somnolent dignity he heard us say our lessons the teacher meanwhile, carefully selecting the pupils most likely to know their lessons to recite before the great man And Mr Stephens obligingly took the cue and never called on the others With searching questions heaven bless him for lt To all coming classes and to the class which this year book represents in par ticular I an antique of ninety five extend my good wishes and the following devout expressions of hope May you study harder and have easier exams may the night you graduate be cooler and the commencement exercises be shorter than were those of ninety ive and may your high school training be to you a foundation for more and deep er study and an 111sp1rat1on for a lot of hard Work 111 the future ' Ca ' . 9 y . , . .x N .
