and arrangements made. But fate was against us. How it rained! It just poured! There we were at the St. Joe bridge, ready to take our de- parture for Fisher's Lake. Instead of going to the lake, however, we went to school. Some said we looked rather sneaking when We entered assembly room, but I know we didn't. 13. Return to Barbarous Stage-At first it seemed as though our tribe were destined to return to its once barbarous stage by the way our class meetings were conducted. Not wishing to be surpassed by our predecessors, we decided to publish a Reflector which would excel all preceding ones. So we started to work on it. Tribe Met BllrkerAbout the middle of the year We encounter- ed that dreaded Burke's Conciliation Speech. Never had anything ever met with so great approval as this wonderful masterpiece. It was just full of undying interest and fascinationC?J. After studying that the en- tire class seemed to be much wiser and much enlightened. 14. Famous Athletes-During this year members of the tribe had become quite famous for their athletic feats. We boasted of having a second Hercules and also a noted pugilist. Many of their best athletic stunts were pulled off in the English room, much to the dismay of Miss Mulheron. Our feats won many laurels on Field Day. 15. The beautiful spring days brought the spring fever to many of the members, but most of them recovered. The rest of this history is still to be Written. We are looking forward, of course, to the Junior ban- quet and our class picnic. 16. Breaking Up of the Tribe-After these festivities the tribe will break up and scatter, all going to greater fields of activity. NELLIE BARRY. 26
