The Class of 709 Nineteen young ladies and twenty-nine young gentlemen, not girls and boys now, but with the experience, dignity, courtesy and high ideals which qualify them to be known as young ladies and gentlemen. One of them refused help offered toward the expenses of a college course, because she was able to make her own way and some one else might be in greater need. You can not pick her out from among the others. Even those who know them well can not do so, for almost any one of them would have done the same generous thing. One of them has accepted every responsibility that has come to him; has worked hard as a member of this or that committee or athletic team, and in other ways; has been unselfish in his devotion to class and school; is true and honest and courageous and cheerful and courteous.. Ask those who know them whom I mean and they can not tell you— the description is true of so many. Occasionally some of them are noisy and some are lazy. But there is not one who could not be left alone in an examination hall with a text-book in the desk, not one with whom it is not a pleasure to be associated. We expect no more of any class than that it equal r909. None will be better. Linpsey Bgsr.

6 TO Ron Ce: Our Principal A courteous gentleman, a warm hearted friend; a man who can say No, in a way that does not sting; who makes the interest of each individ- ual pupil his own interest, the best principal I ever ‘-had—H. M. Maxson. Four Departing Teachers Four of our teachers will not be here next year, and we of ’og are glad that we have known them and that they have stayed until we go. Prof. J. B. Riley, who came to us in the middle of the year, had a hard position to fill, for he took the place of one of the best-loved of the Faculty, Miss Ferry, and we all felt that no one could ever take her place. But we Seniors will never forget Mr. Riley, the cosmopolitan knowledge gleaned from him, and the improvement in the rolling of our gutteral German Rs. In Miss Smith’s leaving, the school loses a splendid teacher and a good friend. Miss Pope has been with us only one little year, but that year has been sunnier and happier to us all because of her presence, and the love and sincere good wishes of every one of us go with her. The Seniors are especially grateful to Miss Pope, for in her we have found a good friend, and our devoted friendship goes out to her in return. Miss Cumming knows every one of us and every one of us knows and loves Miss Cumming so well, that it is hard to express our affection. Her leaving is a loss to the school which we Seniors are glad to escape feeling, and we hope that the years to come will be full of happiness and good fortune for one of the best-loved teachers in P.
