Every- thing was new and of course it took some time to learn the different recitation roems and the names of the teachers. life often found ourselves in very embarassing situ- ations, such as suddenly walking into a Senior class meeting or the Office when we expected- to find the History ITOOITI.

This year is generally considered by classes as the most stupid of the couigii, but We did not find it so. lt was in this year that' the arrangement of the study rooms was changed.

Mosher, the teacher of elocution has never had a more precocious class Only a few wealclings are among us, whose knees totter and whose tongues twist when rhetoricals are on. These unhappy ones intend to practise next autumn on the shores-of our lake, with pebbles' in their mouths, like Dem-i osthenes of old, hoping to gain speech and courage.
