1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Alumni The aim of the Bee Aitch Ess this year, is to have the Alumni well represented. In order to do this We asked one member from each class to give a short write-up for his class. The responses which We received are: M. E. Q. Sv. 1874. To tell of the class of 'seventy-four In sixty Words, is difficult, very- Though its members were few and graduates fewer, The good times We had were many and merry- Miss Harriet Mann, Miss Kenyon, Miss Bacon, Were pupils Whose industry rivaled the bees, The boys, Mess1's. Collins, and Kilbourne, and Briggs, Drained school of its pleasures and joys to the lees. I could tell, if I might, of pranks and of mischief, But of Words I have used fully sixty or more- I must close, 'tis most sad, but I still sing the praises Of that Wonderful class, one-eight-seven-four.
