CLASS OF 1906, (). II. S. NELLIE MADDEN. Hair black as a raven lias Nell, What she's going to do next you can’t tell. A line housewife is she. And as neat as can be, In the O. II. S. she’s quite a belle. GREENLEAF MERRILL. This dark lad is nicknamed Green, In the tennis court he's often seen; Of athletics lie's fond He'd swim in a duck pond. In his make up there’s nothing that’s mean. RACHEL LUMSDON. Oh. Rachel is a willing lass. She’s a helper in every class; She has a smile for every one. She has her work as she has her fun, Weighed in the balance she’ll more than pass. EDWIN MATHER. 1'his is Edwin, our athletic lad, Of whom we must say, tho ’tis sad That the faces lie can make Certainly do take the cake. And when he isn't good—he's pretty bad. MARY McCUNE. This miss by her mates called Mary, Is neither cross grained nor contrary; She's quiet and prim, And she isn't too slim, Aftd her ways are subdued and not airy.

CLASS OF 1806, O. H. S. HAROLD LYNCH. Harold Lynch—but lie’s mostly called Pete, In liis studies he’s awful to beat; He’s timid and shy, Hut perhaps, bye and bye, In a rectory he’ll find a seat. MYRTLE LEINHAUSER. This is Myrtle, so pretty and grave liy her looks you can tell she’s no knave; She's so very demure, That I am quite sure She could teach us all how to behave. EDNA LEINHAUSER. She’s timid and quiet and sweet, ller appearance is always most neat ; A musician is she, As expert as can be, You’ll find that she’s quite hard to beat. WINIFRED KEYHOE. A learned maid is Winnifred. To the artist’s school she will be led. To paint her pictures tall, To hang in a famous hall, All in gold and white and red. JANET LINDSAY. danet, the good and the fair, Who is crowned by gleaming hair; Works with a will, Her noggin’ to fill. For she's a student rare.

CLASS OF 1906, (). H. S. PAULINE MESSENGER. Before you is mischievous Polly, She’s gay arid she‘s good and she’s jolly; She always is busy— ’Twould make one quite dizzy To follow her in search of folly. MARIE MULLER. This is our little German girl, Whose hair is wavy, though not in curl; She’s dainty and sweet, And also neat. And true banners she unfurls. HAROLD SPILMAN Reader, pause! Tis the venerable Doc! His lips lie’s unable to lock, His sayings are wise, But his hearers all rise, When of long words lie’s taken a stock. HELEN OSLER. Here is Helen, a studious lass, She has no trouble to pass; You’re astonished to know, That she likes Cicero, But she’s the brighest star of each class. ETHEL PALMER. Here’s Ethel, a student of repute, One really could not call her mute. She'll laugh and talk all day, But no matter what you may say Her giggle is certainly cute.
