soHooL DAYS. 11 JUNIOR ROAST. Iva Olive Mulchay. g Mr. President and Members of the Junior Class :-lt has been with interest and pleasure that we, the Senior class of '08 have wit- nessed your evolution through the different stages of your school life to the dawn of your Senior year. At times we feared that the weight of high school work was resting too heavily upon you, and that P. H. S. would lack a Senior class in l909. But it is with gratification that we can look into your bright faces tonight. and feel that it has been through our influence as Seniors, that you have reached this point in your career. Vsfe have noticed that several of your mem- bers have been rather backward in their work, but have been coached through by the remaining members, who, only by persistent troting have attained their little knowledge. of which they boast so much and so often. In particular we recall to mind your Presi- dent, who was never known to call a class meeting, but would generally be seen holding a private conference in a back seat with one of our Senior class. VVe all think it so strange that you should have chosen him as President. of your class: but when he is compared with the other young men of the class, VVhite. Needham and Kregloh, it is plain to see why. Although Mott hasnit the distinction of being industrious, and is not noted for work, yet VVhite is too lazy, Needham too slow and Kregloh too bashful to have taken upon them- selves the responsibilities of being the digni- tied president of the Junior class. So the mis- fortune fell upon Everett. One of our pleasing memories of time past was when two of our high school people met. It was only a few years ago, but from that time they have been very much devoted to each other. These two young people, I hardly need to mention the names, are Miss Howe and Mr. King. Miss Howe, we suppose, will be your class singer next year. Wfe advise, however, that you have her voice trained by some noted artist, as she is soon to become a queen,', and also for the sake of the audience which might congregate a year from now for your class day,--if you have one Miss Margaret Howe will, of course, be your class musician and although we have enjoyed her playing throughout this past year, yet we feel that our class musician can- not be outdone, and that Margaretls playing is a little out of date. Marie Connolly is not especially noted for anything, and her musical talent is said to be scarcely worth mentioning, but we have no- ticed that on Sunday nights when Art,' Har- vey makes his regular evening calls, that she pounds the piano until everyone, excepting Art, moves away, and return only when the thundering ceases. That is when Art and Marie are occupying the hammock on the porch. ' From time immernorial the gentle voice of Alyce Gerow has rung through our school. We don't mean to infer that Alyce is at all old, but that she has acquired the high school ways so slowly, that it really seems by this time she must be an old, old maid. But, of course, we all know differently and realize that she would very much like to be married. Per- haps that is one reason why she prefers to sit by a window in the study hall and try to catch the eye of some passer-by. All the time, how-- ever, she has a string on her Teddy for fear that she may lose him. A chum of Alyce's and a sort of a Hirt is Alyda Hicks. She has captivated the heart of a young man from Lyons by the name of Hornbeck. Regularly every Sunday night he is seen around Phelps and occasionally one finds him waiting at the church, for Alyda hasnlt as yet learned to recognize his turnout. Veda Estey is another of our popular school girls who spent a year away at Cazenovia, but 1-....-1.. -...-- -- 4.4-aa..-

SCHOOL DAYS. 13 CLASS WILL. To Miss Brockway we give a bottle of Anti- Fat. Olive Eva Stryker.

The privilege of sitting in the back seats decided at a recent meeting of our renowned faculty that on June 23, ,OS must leave her Alma Mater and depart to realms unknown, nevermpore to brighten the halls of P. H. S. by her presence. ' In view of this fact she has signified her desire to have published her last W'ill and Testament that the faculty and her under classmates may pay tribute to her generosity. My client wishes to state that owing to a swelling of the head, caused by its gradual increase of knowledge during the past four years, and a heaviness of the heart and other organs caused respectively by the thoughts of departure and much feasting at the several spreads, she may bemistaken in her inven- tory, but such as she has she gives to you. She trusts that you may not think it is only because she cannot take the goods with her that she shows such generosity but because they are not worth keeping.
