PRESIDENT'S CLASS DAY ADDRESS. Friends, we heartily welcome you tonight to our class-day exercises. This day is ours, one which will ever remain deeply engraved. upon the tablets of our memories. It com- memorates the completion- of our High School work, and, while we may be tempted to rejoice overthis, still we must' not fail to recognize the'more.lam,entable fact, that it also brings to ancend our many 'good timesq If there is anyfdoubt in your- minds as to whether we have had .good ' times here, I would respectfully refer you to the professor. He is in a position to corroborate my state- ment, I think. . This, ladies and gentlemen, is an occasion of the diffusion gofghot-'airp -Al-lover this broad land, mighty masters of intelligence are at this very moment engaged in the same pur- suit. And I wish to extend my most sincere sym- pathy to those gathered here. by saying that you are not alone in your misery, but that several million other people are being simi- larly made ill to-night. . But why do they patronize High School class day exercises? Some, because of their just commiseration. They were once High School 'fgradsn and they remember how it was with them. Qthers attend because they never did before and their curiosity has been aroused. They won't come next year. But if you want to hear something entirely new in the way of alleged information, you want to come around the twenty-second. Qui' class has a large assortment. Every variety of knowledge will be represented except the knowledge of knowing how. Remember, Fri- day will be the great Hot Air Festival. l.Jon't fail to be there and hear us hesitatingly utter our well-conned lines, like human phono- graphs. ' THE CLASS HISTORY. Sadie Gertrude Donley. .VVhat could be more interesting at such a time than the history of the Class of 1906? Volumes might be written .on the trials and disappointments andhappiness and joys of each individual in the class. There are many accomplishments which - arerworthy to be lmentioned but ,will have to be omitted here. lHowever, we havehere only a short sketch jof theirbschool life., A I ' It 'is with .pleasure .I first catch glimpse of our President. Vffhen he, first opened his leyes, he foundhimselfin our glorious metrop- olis of, New York. He. tried hard to appre- ciate his privileges .of city life, but he knew the great desirefor. nature and her marvelous 'works would never cease until he might see her as she is. At last, though waiting many years, he bade farewell to the tumult and noise of the city and glided along up the Hudson. As he journeyed along. he heard, by chance, that there was a wonderful place in Central New York which had a foundry of knowledge. XYhen he arrived at Phelps, for that was the place, he passed the building and his desires were satisfied. At once he entered the school and has made rapid strides toward the place which he now occupies. At the same time he began the study of French-not so much by books as by nature itself. This, of course. would cease for a time, owing to his own neg- ligence or that of his instructor, but these few lessons were made up by private discussion and a little walk. These instructions lasted until a short time ago. Qne night he went to a dance rejoicing in the fact he could surpass anyone in French, but whether he contracted a cold or some terrible disease no one could quite determine, for he can speak only a few words now at a time. He contents himself now by helping the little alien who came to the foundry seeking new kinds of fruits, espe- -i 1 a 36? ind of my be .re. tch of his op- fre- iew ous see he the he that 'ew ge. the .res ool ace me uch rse. eg- few ion ted t to -.ass ted iuld :few self 1 to .pe- THE LIMIT. 3 ,,Y- N , wggrn Y Y W f W V PHELPS UNlON AND CLASSICAL SCHOOL.. cially Qburysj berries. Surely our President's future is bright, but we will leave that for the prophetess. Our Vice-President also was deprived of the pure air of the country until three years hence. VVe first see her entering the school with a pack of books. VVhen she was asked what her intentions were and what subjects she wished help in, she quickly replied, not any only Caesar, Geometry, Physics, Drawing, Music, English History, English, Greek and a few hundred more subjects. She has proved her great ability by mastering Greek in half a year. She sat in one of the back seats, but there was so much noise her teacher moved her to the front seat for her own good. She is favored very much by the college students, especially those at Syracuse, and annoys our musician by wearing a Syracuse fob with 1908 on it. Her duty has been to settle debates, keep peace, and tonight she will read the class will. p Six years ago our Secretary and Treasurer came into the Academic room and has con- quered everything that came in her way except her ambition. In music, she excels and is the only accomplished musician in the class. She has only a few admirers, but she admires many. She favors the students at Colgate, while she holds those at Syracuse in less esteem. She has been extremely happy of late, for the fortune teller disclosed a very happy future for her. She believes the right one will come unexpected some day, so she tries to be smiling all the time. That is why she is smiling so tonight. Our essayist began in the lowest grades and by gradual progress she has accom- plished her end. She is greatly appreciated by her teachers, for she always has her les- sons. She studies all the time when school is in session and reads dime novels during vaca- tion. Some time ago she met a Geneva High School student and they worked together nicely until Teddy left school. Then she asked assistance of another Fred, but he only proved to be a mechanical student and pre- ferred the prophetess. She wishes now to be 4 THE LIMIT. THE FACULTY. a German teacher, but owing to the number of German students in Geneva it is doubtful whether she can secure the right instructor or not. Another important personage is our proph- etess. She is so quiet that one would scarcely know when he is in her presence except for the magical influence which surrounds her. For a long time no one could solve how she knew what were to be asked in the examin- ations. By careful observations at last it was determined that she could look into the future. If you wish your fortune told consult her at once, but be sure to bring your pocket- bofk. ' Our poet is the sunbeam of the class. She lives away down on the plains that are cov- ered with pines. She trudged the weary country roads to a small school house in order that she might expand her intellectual capac- ity. She was successful, for when she came here begging admittance the doors at once were opened to her. She is so perfectly endowed with imagination and the power of expression that she is able to present ideas in new, harmonious and beautiful form. See- ing her ability, the class chose her for the poet. She has many suitors, but none suits. She is waiting for a trip to Shortsville or Niagara Falls. THE L1M1T. 5 Our orator came trudging along with glar- ing eyes and short quick steps until he finally secured a place in our Senior class. He is a very apt student, but it takes him a long time to impart his knowledge. iXYhen he recites he rises and puts on an air of confidence. ahems a few times. then begins by well le. As he continues it sounds like a corn sheller, then milder, like the flutter of a humming bird's wing. Hue is very popular among the ladies and amuses them by telling stories. He is not only late to school but even to church. He drives an up-to-date rig and strives to get a lady to ride with him. On account of his dignihed air, he is sometimes called deacon. He is a model orator and will prove his ability by giving you an address later. The career of the historian is insignificant and does not deserve to be mentioned, only let us hope for better things in the future. CLASS ESSAY. Frances Hariette Curry. The school year of '05-306 is at an end. To many it only means a delightful ten weeks' vacation, while to many others it means a step higher in the preparation for life's work. ,Vlfith pleasure these hail the completion of their work to proceed further. To some it means the ending of school life and to them it brings a feeling of sadness. For when is ther-.: a time in life so happy, so free of care, as the school life? But there is little time for sad- ness here. Let us look to the life that is before us! lYe must leave our schoolmates, but we need not forget them. lliould it not be appropriate at this, our Class Day, to bring up little things which would tend to hold the members of our class ever in remembrance and to drive away from our hearts the sad- ness of parting? .iof the play.

At one time he was pas- sionately fond of French, but he has given it up of late and spends that time in recrea- tion, mostly going to and from trains. Laura H. Durand, our vice president, is very fond of the opera and, on her return from there, the class receive a pretty fair idea sons for being particularly interested, as she says that her friend QPerhaps Bob,'j is going on the stage. Yet she has neverestated to me that it is so. Our secretary and treasurer, Marie Louise Vosburgh Bussey, is also our class musician. She is quite gifted. - During the last winter she was known to dress up every other night and play at the revival meetings free of charge. Wie all wonder why Can anybody tell? Miss Bussey, known by her schoolmates as Deb, is very decided in her way. Let me here state that if any one chooses to make a junior a present kindly refrain from present- ing them with a pair of hose. Miss Donley, our historian, is very frank in admitting that she intends to get married. We all think that she will, as she always seems to have a letter or two lying on her desk addressed to Mr. -l. Miss Donley is much interested when she hears of a church that is to be repaired inside and it would be well for those who desire their church to be remodeled to consult with her. But her greatest pleasure is in the walks which she takes with a certain young gentleman of this lplace. l i l Edna jane Alcott is our poet, but she iemphatically states that she is not a relative of Louisa May Alcott, nor is she in -any way lconnected with the inventor of the Alcock iporous plasters. Edna is quite hurt if you do U THE LIMIT. not call her Edna Jane CPD and if close to a door. I think there would be perfect safety for you to question her about that little church in the Back NVoods. Miss Ethel McMillan isknown by nearly everyfone simply as 'Miss McMillan. I..ike Miss gBussey'she says that she will never marry and, .as Miss McMillan is a prophet of course she knows. Perhaps this will account for the I two young ladies desiring rings instead of pins, as they do not ever expect to' be presented with a ring. Qur , orator, Charles Benton, is especially giftedhas he possesses a loud voice and other necessary ,qualifications of ,an orator. He has often been called 'fthat boy with aloud voicef' and is called by most of his friends Deek g but in 'iiielftifufe he wiiipfobabiy ije'-iam Benton. i 'Unlike ourlpresident, Charles is not gone on the girls.

If the coat fits, put it on: but if it don't, don't take offense. But think it over. Judging from the actions of some of those who call themselves Juniors, one would not guess.-that they were to be graduated in only another year, but rather, that they must have some connection with the third grade. ,In the Freshmen, the Juniors in question may End an excellent example of manliness which they should try to imitate.

Arrangement has been made with the Regents to hold special examinations for Theodore NVarner at a time most suited to his convenience.

Flora Ethel McMillan. As the last week of school drew near, the future of my classmates became a subject of great interest to me. One evening as I sat out of doors in the twilight, wondering what would be the future of my classmates after they had scattered from the old familiar halls, I unconsciously wished aloud that I could know the future of each member of the class. All at once I noticed that a star that had pre- viously attracted my attention by its bril- pf g 'III-IE LIMIT. THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT. liancy began to sway back and forth, then it 'darted across the sky, leaving a bright streak ofglight behind it. Fascinated by this strange spectacle, I kept my eyes fixed upon it. and to 'my great astonishment saw that it was coming directly toward me. Finally it fell with a great crash at my very feet. XYhen I had sufficiently recovered from my fright and surprise to look around me, I saw a large rock lying upon the ground split into two pieces. The end of a small iron box projected from one of these pieces. I drew it out and to my great amazement saw my own name writ- ten upon it. On opening the box, I found that it contained a roll of papers. A card lay upon the top bearing this inscription: A glimpse into the future of the class of l906. I eagerly removed the papers from the box. My wish was realizedg the things I had so long wished to know were there written and 6 pictured before me. l The first sheet that I drew forth bore the future of Earl Bradbury. This young man after completing his studies in the High School will take a course in Art at Syracuse University. XYhile at Syracuse. he will gain considerable fame as a cartoonist and will help pay his way through college by drawing pictures for the comic section of the Syracuse Herald and other papers. After he has completed his college course, he will go abroad to study under a famous Italian painter. -Xlthough he would rather study under French instructors, for reasons best known to himself he will be obliged to keep away from France. .Xfter several years he will return to ,-Xmerica and establish a studio in New York city. He will first attract public notice by a painting called Visions of the Past, which represents a grey haired man seated before a fire, smok- ing. In the wreaths of smoke are pictured the THE LIMIT. 9 faces of a smiling young French girl and another young girl with a very Grave coun-W tenance. The artist will refuse all offers for this picture and will keep it hung in a promi- nent place in his studio to remind him of thi happy days spent in Phelps. As the years pass on his fame as an artist will increase and his paintings will be eagerly sought after by all lovers of art. i NYell pleased with the future revealed by this page. I unrolled the next one. This bor. the name of Laura Durand. Miss Durant will enter Wellesley in a few weeks. XN'liili' in college she will be especially noted for hei fondness for theatricals. VVhen not arrang ing-for plays to be given by the students, she will most always be found at 'the theater I-Ier fondness for the stage will increase ti such a degree that she will finally leave co' lege and organize a company of her own They will make their first appearance in Vai Derveer's hall at Oaks Corners, presenting the well known play, 'fEast Lynnef, Miss Durand taking the part of Lady Isabel. Thi. venture will not be successful and aftei organizing several other companies and meet- ing with failures with all of them, she wil enter a dramatic school in Boston. There her talents for the stage will be recognized and after a careful course of study she will go to Berlin to complete her study for the stage She will make her first appearance as a star in London and will be greeted with the great- est applause. She will then tour Europe and America with a company of her own. In both of these countries she will be hailed as an actress who is destined to become noted throughout the world. Anxious to see whose future would next be revealed I unrolled another paper. This proved to be a sheet torn from a matrimonial paper, bearing the date of 1930. Glancing down the column I came to an article marked with red ink which read: XVanted-A highly educated and accomplished lady who speaks Huently French and German and who is also in accomplished musician, would like to cor- 'espond with some gentleman, any national- ty, with a view to matrimony. Address Qvlarieslzouise Vosburgh Bussey, Phelps, N. Y. I paused here a long time wondering how -his could be so, butas I could reach no sat- sfactory conclusion I laid it aside and drew 'orth another. ' ' This bore the name of Gertrude Donley. lihe future of Miss Donley is very uncertain. Xs nearly as can be foreseen, however, she vill next year engage to teach' in a district ,chool. At the end of a few months she will esign her position to marry a young tele- jraph operator, formerly a popular 'newsboy if Phelps. She will then settle -down to Jedded life in a littgle village in Western New fork. 1 ' A Upon the fifth page was a picture which 'epresented the future of a classmate entirely lifferent from the rest. The picture was that Jf a lonely island in the Mid Pacific. The last rays of the setting sun were falling upon a group of savages gathered about a' young .nan, standing with an open Bible in his hands. In the face of this missionary who was giving his life to the noble work, I recognized Charles Benton. VVhen Ifremem- bered the saintly and dignified actions that had characterized his entire school life, I was not at all surprised by what this page revealed. I find that the class is to number an author among its members, for upon the next page was the picture of a book, handsomely bound, with its title and the author's name written upon it: 'fTeddy and If' a love story, by Frances Hariette Curry, Author of The Art of Flirtationf' Courtship Under Diffi- culties,', and other stories. Surely the class has every reason to be proud of its only mem- ber who is to enter upon such a promising 10 THE LIMIT. career, and there is no doubt but that these books will be very interesting, as they are founded upon the actual experiences of the author. The next page bore the name of Edna Alcott. She will next year enter Brockport Normal School. After completing her course she will enter upon her duties as a teacher. She. will be very successful and after several years will open a private school in Philadel-A phia for teaching good manners and social eti- quette, etc. She will have a special class for. young men in which they will be taught the correct way to ask permission of a young lady to accompany her home, and, also, how and when to propose. In order to impress upon the young men the importance of these' things, she will declare that a good many girls remain single because the gentlemen, either do not use tact or because they are awkward in proposing, and will mention her-, self as a sad example. This school will enjoy' the distinction of being the only one of its kind ia the United States, and will be patron-fi ized by people from all parts of the world. Miss Alcott will continue to be at the head of this school for a great many years and when old age at last overtakes her she will cheerfully give the work over to other hands, feeling that she has accomplished her mission in life and that her work will be of everlasting benefit to women everywhere. ' As I finished reading these wonderful futures, I fancied I could see my classmates in the years to come, scattered throughout the world, each following the path fate has laid out for them, some winning fame and honor, others spending their lives in helping their fellow creatures. Witli many thanks to the mysterious power that had brought these rolls into my possession, I laid them aside, hoping that I should some day see all their predictions fulfilled. SCHOOL LIFE. Class Poem, Edna Jane Alcott. School life holds many joys For girls and boys. Every moment they dearly treasure, Study is a constant pleasure. They study German and French, if Their thirst for knowledge is hard to quench. Their ,heads are filled with Latin and Greek, Till they hardly know what language they speak. The end and aim of the student's heart, Never for a moment does depart, Is to conquer Regents, so hard of late, And endeavor their store of knowledge to relate. If the required standing is obtained, Juniors and Seniors they are named. VVhile Sophomores and Freshmen follow in A the line And think that they are quite as fine.

To some. life is just an easy time from childhood to death: to others. life a real battle. An illustration of the ITYSI class is furnished by the boy of whom the story tells. His mother was at work for one of the neighbors. and the boy was with her. lkhen the women began work the boy sat down in a chair to watch them. Every little while he would go to the water-pail. and. finding no water. would sit down again. After he had done this several times. the mistress said to him. If you are so thirsty. why don't you go to the well and get some water F The boy replied. Ld rather go without. 0h. exclaimed the mistress. what wilf you do when you get to be a man F The boy drawled out in a most doleful tone. Then I s'pose Lll have to work. A typical member of the other class is found often as a child in a poverty stricken home. but with a burning desire to rise and be known as some one of consequence. For him life is a true battle. Une great example of this class is Abraham Lincoln. Born in a place destitute of even the comforts. to say nothing of the luxuries of life. no schools around. nothing to aid him. but with a deter- mination to get an education and rise higher than a backwoodsman. he arose to the high- est place that his fellow-countrymen could give him. Another example is Garfield. a salt-boiler's clerk: yet another is Franklin. a printer's apprentice. yet each came to be of great service to his country. Look at John Knox. the little Essex lad who became the leader of the Scotch reformation. All were of humble birth. but through their own per- sonal light became a mighty intluence along some line of work. There have been and are many men in like circumstances who have t A 3 l Q n i v E i 1 l i l I 1 glorious victory. You and I may not be called upon to till any exalted position. but when we are called to account for our talents. if we can say with Paul. I have fought a good tight. T have finished the course.

To the teachers who are leaving us, Mr. Ingalls, Miss Barton, and Miss Corey, we be- queath our hearty wishes that they will have success in whatever positions they fulfill dur- ing the coming year. Seventh.--Now, we would like to make a bequest to the school as a whole, and as books are always acceptable presents, we will bequeath our class library which consists of books written by the members of the class.

CLASS OF 1906. THE VALEDICTORY. Marie Louise V. Bussey. One more school year is completed and one more class is being launched forth on life's broad sea. For us all this is a day of mingled pleasure and pain, for, though we rejoice at the successful completion of our school ca- reer, we part with deepest grief from our Alma Mater, our teachers and our fellow stu- dents. Many of our pleasant school memor- ies are due to the kind interest which you, the members of the Board of Education, have shown toward us. To our Teachers, especially to our respected principal, we, the Class of 1906, express the grateful thanks due for their faithfulness and assistance. .We trust that our lives may show not only intellectual training, but also well formed characters as the result of your la- bors. Our Honored Principal, your many kindnesses have endeared you to all our hearts, and, although in the future our class may be widely separated, you will always live in the memory of each of us. Q Dear Classmates, we have at lastlreached the end for which we have been so diligently striving. With our diplomas in sight, we real- ize that graduation means not only the ac- complishment of our school work, but it also means the severing of those ties binding our class together and those bonds of sympathy and friendship between us and our teachers. As' we start out on life's way, let us be mind- ful of our motto: Non verba, sed facta. Let us be men and women who do not waste time in words, but let us be the doers which will reflect honor upon our and school. Gratefully we think of and bid teachers, each other, and valuable of deeds teachers the past those sweet happy years, a fond farewell. PRESIDENT'S ALUMNI ADDRESS. -.. l Friends, in behalf of the class of 1906, I have the honor of addressing you tonight. It requires considerable nerve for me to address you in the company of such able speakers. But just a few words. Our class is exceedingly happy to be a part of the Alumni, and, although we are as yet green members, still, that will only endure for a year, and then that adjective will be employed to qualify the '07 class, and our emerald hue will have been partially effaced. There's some consolation in that. Again let me say that we greatly appreciate the honor of being admitted to the Alumni and that we are all embued with the same determination, to make 'fnaughty six reflect credit upon this Association. But I fear I ani forgetting our motto, non verba, sed factaf' so I will cease these words and try deeds. THE LIMIT. Lawrence-BuslwiulMlQ.lJu Dairy Supplies.
