A ments, such conceptions of liberty, we might expect of students who have had the benefit of a century more of this electrical age. But no amount of failure can dampen the ardor of these star-shooters who are wise enough to pick up the birds which fall from the tree tops. They entered High School sixty-eight strong, k out of which ten chose the scientific course in preference to the classical. The classical section sat in Room 10, while those of the scientific section were placed 5 E 1 -:- across the hall in Miss Reynolds' care. At the end of the first term their personality was thoroughly established, .altho nothing of the means may be mentioned f 1 ,1 here except a determined opposition which greeted the mid-years who, entering in the January of '95, expected to stand on a regular footing with those who had been traveling almost five months. Probably the memorable social event of this year was a picnic held in May at Conner's Mill. A hay wagon conveyed the main bodyr and the entire day was given up to such sylvan sports as only youth, wholly abandoned to pleasure, can invent. School opened September, '95, with forty-seven of the original number enrolled. Mr. Graves held the reins this year. Soon after the opening a constitution was drawn up, the class being formally organized. Mr. Arthur Watson, who had served as president the preceding year, was re-elected, and Miss Ethel McKinney was chosen secretary and treasurer: Miss Edna Johnson, historians Mr. Edward Lawrence, poet, and Miss Florence Alward, sergeant-at-arms. Class meetings were held bi-weekly, at which time the business sessions were relieved by a debate or general discussion of some topic of current interest. At the Christmas season a class party was given, in connection with which the Courtship of Miles Standish, and Christmas tree will long be remembered. As Juniors they found themselves in Mr. McKnight's room. This situation imposed a certain dignity which was broken in upon only slightly as the weeks rolled by. At a class meeting in November, 1896, an annual was proposed. Vote in favor was unanimous. A board was chosen, consisting of Mr. Arthur Watson, Editor-in-Chiefg Mr. Edwin Hulley, Business Manager, and the following Sub-Editors: Mr. Frank Jones, Verseg Miss Ethel McKinney, Alumnig Miss Catherine Matter, Grindsg Mr. Alfred Henry, Class: Mr. Arthur Michel, Club. This Board worked under many disadvantages, and a handicap beyond their control. Sickness and accident committed theft, and at last the real burden rested more or less equally on ALFRED HENRY. FRANK JONES. EUGENE MICHEL. FRANK MOONE. The class of 1898 is proving the faith of her who de eis optimum iudicium fecif. As individuals they have energy, persistence and a high ideal of what is worth while. Thus equipped we feel that no amount of the world's buffetings can wholly overcome those who have once felt the surnrnum bonum of life. N T a -41 Gr' 'Bl 15' 1 eo lj J , .- .
