. id dlQl'S' li'iSI0l'V. When we look back on our High School course and note the rapidity of passing time from the day we became juniors until now, when'we are about to step into the grave' 'and digni- fied position of Seniors, we are forcibly reminded that our days at P. H S. are fast drawing to a close. 'The stern aspects of life are but a short distance off and we recall with pleasure those scenes and incidents that already seem so far away. Very shy- ly and bashfully did we enter that mysterious and wonderfully interesting room known as the main-room ofthe P. H. S. Very demurely and sedately we took our places. We seemed to be the centre of attraction and the upper-class-men made many remarks concerning our strikingly emerald hue. But after sever- alunpleasantnesses with the Seniors, then the class'of'95, in which the present Senior class joined us as 'well as after some of the boys had been thoroughly initiated in the water-room and some ofthe girls had learned the mysteries of the girls' water-room, that sacro sanct, we rapidly progressed in attaining the usual amount of cheek and impudence for which the lower classes are noted. i The Middler year was quick in its approach and with it came upon us also the usual characteristics, tor which the Middle class has secured such a worldhwide 'reputation What rompuses we did create! Truly we deserved the name of tur- bulent Middlersl Certain cliques were formed. The 4' Weary Hayes Club among the boysg the 'tSuspicious Six 'l among the girlsQ and judging from the number of times the principal saw fit to speak to these same girls and to change their seats, they certainly deserved this most appropriate title, the t'Suspicious Sixf' Many times they were detained after school for the numerous disturbances which were raised by them. How they did object' when anybody else chanced to be excused from a les- son, or. when a special favor was granted to another schoolmate. But now we are about to become Seniors. Dear me, I do not see how we can possibly exist! Already they are so filled with conceit that when we become Seniors, they are in danger of ex- ploding and going up in smoke or something still less. Well for nie, it is, that they know not who has written this small his- tory or they would shortly be minus a member. Still there is hope for this boisterous and obstreperous class. Perhaps as they grow older they will gain a little more wisdom, and not waste so much wind for nothing. It is to be hoped so at any rate and the writer of this history, certainly hopes they will be a successfulclass of the P. H. S.
