We have been represented in nearly all of the affairs of the high school and we feel proud of every member of our class. Our only hopes are for the building up of our class, both in number and in spirit, if it could be possible for spirit to increase. However, we are very confident that we will head the list in a very short time. A short program was given by several members of the class. This consisted of readings and piano solos, and proved a great success. However, several numbers were omitted, as others who were to take part, were absent. Mr. S. in English—“Was Ichabod Crane a wealthy man? H. G.—“No, he wasn’t.” Mr. S.—“Please quote your proof. H. G.—“He was a school teacher.” Freshman—“What turns silverware black?” Senior—“Why old age. of course.” Freshman—“Got a minute to spare?” Sophmore—“Sure, I have.” Freshman—“Tell me all you know.” TO A FRESHMAN. A Freshman there was, and he made a vow, Even as many do, That he wouldn’t work; He’d just shirk, shirk, shirk. His High School career through. In Algebra class, he lets questions pass, Too lazy to raise his hand. His course the reverse, quite short and terse, “I cannot understand.” 25

......................................... CLffT ApudiiMiiiiiiuiniiimimiiuii.... The teacher in vain, will explain and explain, He knocks and there’s nobody home, Sound brains have been spent, And on foolishness bent, Naught’s there but an empty dome. Oh, the tears she wastes, And the fears she wastes, That fond mamma at home; Who sends him out in the morning light And at evening welcomes him home. A Freshman there was, and he made a vow, Even as most of them do, That he wouldn’t shirk, He’d just work, work, work, His High School career through. Oh, the tears she wastes, And the fears she wastes. That fond mamma at home. Her boy in the race Will be holding first place, The world needs just such a son. (To the Seniors). Never expect others to believe something you don’t believe yourself. Too many Freshmen talk an hour and work a minute. PRETTY SOFT. The woodpecker lit on the freshman’s head. And settled himself to drill. He bored away for a night and day, And finally wore out his bill. Now when his bill at last was gone, And all his work in vain. He went in search of a softer spot. Where he might drill again. This time he found a sophmore’s pate. And went to work with a will; At last he had a place so soft, He had no need for a bill. —Exchange. 26
