tfo una This is the Senior Class of 1912. Are they not lovely? They are going away now. Why? Because while they are here 1913 does not appear to advantage. They go to give 1913 a chance. See the girl. She is late. Why is she late? Nobody knows, but it is always so. What is her name? H. C. See the girls leaning out of the front Windows. Is there some- thing happening? No, but something might. Have you ever heard of Bible IV? It is a very difficult subject for the Academic girls, but for the College Preps a cinch. Poor Academic girls! They should have been wiser and not taken that course. This is the Circle. It is for ornament only. No one uses it except to mow it. What a pity! It looks soft and comfortable. 20 v =

What is this room? Number 28. What is it called? The Look- out. Why? Hush! Children should not ask questions. Who is the large blonde and why is she so irritated? She is neat and particular and she frets because 64 is not in order. Poor girl! It is hard, is it not? She should be a chambermaid. What is the fragrance wafted through the air? Oh, it is only M. B. She is like a flower with her perfume. This is the new laundry. Is it not beautiful? How is it built? Brick by brick. We watched it day by day, and have grown to love it. But would it not be nice if it were a swimming-tank? What is the procession? Only Abbot girls going to a game. They aim to be inconspicuous so they go two by two. Why not lock-step? Why the set and determined expression on the girl ' s face? She wishes to have her history lesson satisfy her teacher. This has never yet been done, but she hopes to accomplish it. Vain hopes! See the platform. What is it? It is the Senior porch. But no one is on it. No one ever is. Its simplicity is its greatest charm. Poor, poor girls. They are going to a funeral, are they not? No, only to a meeting of the Class Book board. This girl appears wan and ill. She eats nothing, but milk and dry, dry bread. Poor E. B! Can we help her? No, she ' s busy with the dress-maker. 21
