In the Brooklet of nineteen-hundred and nine we observe that the Seniors were capped and gowned in token of their superior abilities.' The Juniors assert that their standard of nchievment is placed so high, that future classes cannot hope to go beyond it. And the Second Year claim to be the Best ever. But boasting thus would now betray our manner. For self-praise was not. is not. shall not be our banner. And you will call to mind that still water runs deepest. Modesty is Widsom's daughter. We simply tried to run our daily races. And let others praise us to our faces. We hail from the east. west, north and south of Greater Grafton: and we will enjoy the advantage of the full four year's course of our High School. As we have no motto recorded we would suggest as appropriate to this class the maxim of Ex-President Roosevelt: To speak softly, but carry a big stick. You will go far. Never hit if it can be helped, but never hit soft. It was our admittance into the High School that caused the great question of a new High School building to be raised, and was the di- rect source from which the memorable bond election was held for that purpose. While we are not proud of proving that the majority of our citizens are not as far advanced as their size and number would indicate, we are glad to know that our importance is such as to cause the people to sit up and take notice.” Professor Barbe of Morgantown, who visited our grade, said. I have seen many a class.” he told Mr. Brooks. But this one surpasses all in intelligent looks.” But this is not all the renown these Sophomores enjoys. We have kept in our class the greatest number of boys. And we are as proud of them, as proud can be. Although they number just twenty-three. We confess we re somewhat superstitious 'tis true. Because they number exactly the proverbial skidoo. But we hope this adversity to live o'er. By the solicitous care of our girls, who number just forty-four. We know our students will rank well in the masses. And we hear them being called the Class of all Classes.' ---Hislorian.
