THE SEQUOIA. torn down, a new lawn had b-een sown, a11d the building its-elf had bee11 painted. Un the inside of the building the change- was no less marked. The three central rooms on the upp-er iioor had been turned into one large study room, with seats for every pupil in the school. The entire build- i11g was now given over to tl1-e use of the high school, the grades hav- i11g been forced to take up their abode elsewhere. XV-e had now experienced all t.he many trials and tribulations of high school students fexcepting those of Seniorshipj and, without any prelimin- aries, we settled down to our last. and hardest year's work. At the beginning of th-e term Frank Fameron was elected 1-lass presi- dent, and Stephen Langford secretary and treasurer. I'hristmas week gave us a. very welcome and much-needed rest. It was then that we, as Seniors, gave our dance to the Alumni. However, on that night, the Fates and tl1-e Elements seemed to be up in arms against us, sending us perhaps the stormiest night in the year for our party. Time passed. XYhen, iinally, our names were posted, our ranlks had b9PI1 considerably thinned out. Instead of being contained with ditiiculty in three rooms, Room 1 held us all and still had vacant seats. XYe now numbered barely twenty. At the end of each quarter more and more had deserted us, some leaving school, while oth-ers tbelieving in taking life easyj had sought the hospitality of 708. Indeed, we would have been an un- usually small class had not our ranks been somewhat replenished by de- serters from '06. Now our names have been posted, and we begin to realize that our joyous high sc-lilo-ol days will soon be ended, that we soon will no longer be high school students, beaaring the burdens and enjoying the pleasures that all High School stud-ents do enjoy. For four long years we have looked forward to our graduation as the lialppiest event -of' ou'r high school career, but now that this time is at hand, the prevailing feeling in our hearts is on-e of sadness. YVe know' that the time is near at l1a.nd when we will, for the last. time, see the Class of Naughty-seven gathered together, that, after we graduate, we will be sepa.rated, perhaps never to eo-me together again, and, since we have enjoyed so much together, the part- ing is hard. However, we bravely raise our heads, and are happy to know that with what our Alina Mater has given us, we can go proudly forward to take up our duties as a part of our great commonwealth. Now, '07, the time is drawing near when we, for the last time, will be gathered together, s-o join with us in' saying our sad but fond farewell to dear old E. H. S. For four long years she has been our guardian, training and moulding our lives, but now we must leave her. Dear old Alma Mater, farewell. Knowing that they will be faithful to this trust, we must now leave you to the kindly care of '08. Farewell, E. H. S., Farewell.

THE SEQUOIA It was Grave Roscoe, so they said, A nd now she stubbed her toe, As, half-way down the eorridor, Earl Clark, of stature low, Cani-e hastening past, bound for the court A great main now, you know. For he's a lawyer of renown, XVell versed ins codes of lawg De-fendantt's counsel in a, ease Greater than that of Thaw. 'Tis Tabor who is being tried For taking what he saw. A. Naiileigh is the plaintiit bold, And swears right solemnly That Tabor stole ten yards of lace, ' Of silk just twenty-three, lVhim-ll were to make a, party dress, For her to wear at tea. XVheu the41-ourt-room now I entered, The sessiona had begun. The judge was seated ont his b-eneh, So stern, and ju-st, and glum That everyone was held in awe gm YYl1ile ' le Illllllllv was sung. I looked the judge full i11 the fare- 'Twas Shirley, I am sure. The iniage of those arms a.nd elzest, Those eyes so very pure Have been so stamped upon my mind That they will there endure. Neat Vic-tor Harris was the clerk, Full speedily she wrote, She has bee11 doing politics Sine-e women learned to vote, And, with their vote, and what she buys Her run is one of note.
