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.

SCHOOL DAYS. '15 CLASS DAY PRESENTATION .ORA- TION. Edgar C. Wilbur. Mr. President, Classmates, Faculty and Any Ma's and Pa's here present, let not your thoughts be troubled, do not get scared for nothing serious is intended in my gab. In the background as you may notice, we have a tree covered with gifts which are usually pre- sented at Christmas time, but which are very appropriate for the members of our Senior c'ass three hundred and sixty-five days in the year and three hundred and sixty-six days on leap year, especially leap year. The first present which I desire to present is to our president Theodore Warner. Mr. Wfarner, in order to express our deep anx- iety for your welfare and our hope for your future success, allow me to offer you a lan- tern by which you may be able to find your way along the wild and lonely roads to Melvin Hill on dark nights, and also allow me to offer you a well-trained horse which will know when to turn in at your home gate, in case you should be dreaming sweet dreams of Alice, while returning in the early hours of Monday mornings. In addition we desire to express the wish that you may attain the posi- tion of the head executive of our nation by following out the precepts of the motto, Non Palma sine Laboref' Our vice-president, Miss Olive Stryker, t-he members of our class, have kindly remem- bered with an alarm clock which we hope will prove a Warner for her to arise in the morning. ' Miss Kregloh: WVith the intention of ex-- pressing our sympathy for your future happi- ness and welfare, I beg leave to offer you a small Post', to replace the one which for- merly stood in your yard. For our treasurer, John Needham, the phy- sicians of Phelps have prescribed a bottle of Nerve Tonic which they and the members of the Senior class sincerely hope will strengthen his nerves, so that he may be better able to endure the presence of ladies and not get so wrought up when Miss Bull takes him down to Miss Ritchieis room for a private confer- ence behind the locked doors, Mr. Needham! In order to express our appreciation of her talent, we the members of the class of Naughty 'Eight desire to present to our class musician, Miss Lena Benton a piano with which we hope that she will be able to play the Merry Widow Waltz to perfection. Our class poet, Miss Auriel Harvey, has been remembered with a bird cage in which she may keep orioles. Miss Mulchay: In order to preserve your charming beauty from the' rays of the sun, I beg leave to present you with a Merry VVidow,', which your classmates sincerely hope will be able to take the place of your present one. To our valedictorian, Miss Ethel Don- nelly, we present a pair of rubbers which we believe will take the place of those she wore out while walking to one of our class spreads. lt..-...il- I-Ier hair is like the beaten gold, Or like the spider's spinning Itis in her that Guy beholds his joys and quarrels beginning. Her eyes are like the diamond bright, Her form is light and fairy, Her feet are small and she is tall, and whole way is airy. She danced into his willing arms, VVith steps so light and sunny, Said Guy, My dear, we'l1 never part, niy own, my gentle honey. But off she flew like morning dew That sunbeams call, and would not linger Now all his love has turned to hate, And he calls her a blinger. her
