Oh jolly and gracious is •'Swede.” He's kindly in tliot and in deed, lie's good ai all sports. Always quick with retorts. May he ne'er know privation or need. LOIS BAKER. Here is Lois, tall and serene. In the hall she oft can be seen; She just dotes on cliem And Miss Smith aud- io Math she's especially keen. ROY BALLARD. Of Roy you most likely have heard His eloquence dozens has stirred; This advice he will find Is useful, not unkind. 'Idle worms caught bv the earlv bird.” CECILE BONHAM. Oh. quiet and fair is this maid. She's one whose work is well paid, In grades she receives For surely she leaves A foundation of learning, well laid.

CLASS OF 1900, O. M. S. $ MARY COLT. Of manner composed of face fair. Quiet Mary, she is auburn of hair, She sings like a bird, In the glee club she's heard; She's not really prim, it’s her air. HENRY COOK. This handsome fellow is Hank. In statue lie is long and lank; A good friend is he. And we're sure as can Ik , That on him you safely can bank. FLORENCE COOLIDGE. This is Florence, our sunshine lass. Whose philosophy can always pass; Every test of darkest beam, And light it with a gleam Ol rare and golden mass. WILLIAM CUSHING. Will; the president of the class, Is full of fun and jollity, alas! Sometimes for his madness, lie's in trouble for his gladness, Hut he's a fine bov among the mass. C GRACE CAUGHLIN. Here's ‘‘Mrs. Glib,” Graec” or Grace, Always merry ar.d dimple her face, With a smile for each one, And a large store of fun. For the ’00 lads she sets the pace.
