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

SCHOOL DAYS. 17 l THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT. WHO'S WHOSE. 1l..1..- There is a boy in S. U. , l Wfho's loved by more than two. Edna once was called a Post, Now she gets only a roast. Theodore is very wise, To guess by the blue of his eyes. If you wish to raise his malice, just pretend to love his Alice. Edgar hails from north of town, His face is never wrinkled with a frown, For every dayin class. He sits beside his Lena lass. Iva used to love her T, But now,-Oh he! Oh fee! Iva is a Flirt we fear, For she let him leave without a tear. There is a boy from west of Phelps, His Auriel he often helps. Charley is so very wise, That from him she cannot take her eyes. Ethel is our darling pride, Her knowledge is so wide. VVe'd like to tell her lover's name, But alas! shels never told the same. Olive is a dandy girl, Wfhose hair is never out of curl. She declares, without her Mott, Her life would be a blot. lohn, your case is very sad, For you are such a bashful lad, But all the girls are stuck on you, And would like to tell you, too. G. F. C. ,lO. .1..1-.1,.i-1- VVe are sorry to report that two of our in- tended seniors Hquituatedn the fore part of the year, and are now thinking seriously of launching forth upon the troubled sea of matrimony. May they have much happiness and the best of good fortune in this tremen- dous undertaking. . , W..- -S..:-
