My dear Freshmen, said the teacher, while instructing the class in com- position, you should not attempt any flights of fancy, but simply be your- selves, and write what is in you. Do not imitate any other person's writings, or draw inspiration from outside sources. As a result of this advice one of the boys turned in the following composition: We should not attempt any fiites of fancy, but rite what is in us. In me thare is my stummick, lungs, hart, liver, two apples, one piece of pie, one stick of lemon candy and my dinner. A COMPOSITION FROM THE PHYSIOLOGY CLASS Breath is made of air. We breathe with our lungs, our lights, our liver and kidneys. If it wasn't for our breath we would die when we slept and never wake up. Our breath keeps the life a-going through the nose when we are asleep, and the noise it makes doing it is sometimes awful. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe. They should wait until they get out- doors where there is more room. Girls kill the breath with corsets that squeezes the diagram. Girls can't holler or run like boys because there dia- gram is squee' ed too much. Diagrams are delicate and girls are fools to squeeze them just to look thin. If I was a girl I had rather be a boy so I could run and holler and have a great big diagram and fun. What are you looking at, Bess? Oh, just watching that green Hill. Davis: Who took Lila to the dance last night? Burroughs: Dave, I guess. Davis: Wliidh-Dave? Burroughs: Oh, the one that asked her first, of course.

'U ' The present graduating class entered the High School in the fall iof 1898 with a total enrollment of 46. The number of young men and maidens7was equal-there being 23 of each. At the beginning of the Sophomorefiyear the boys were in the majority, the registration showing 20 boys and 18 girlsj The number of girls has remained the same throughout the Sophomore, J unior and Senior years, while the boys have dwindled numerically from 20 in the ,Sopho- more to 12 in the Junior and 8 in the Senior class. This makes the total num- ber of Seniors 26. , . The Senior class has always been a class of decided ideas and is one that has shown great activity in many ways. It has a life and energy' about it which,4if rightly directed in future years, will give it aname 'fto conjure by. Class spirit among the members has always been strongly manifest, and when- ever there have been any school contests we have been first in the fray. As Juniors last year we successfully planted our colors upon the bell tower and gallantly defended them against the Seniors. This year 'we put up our colors May day and none of the classes were strong or courageous enough to take them down. ' We are the people. We now bow ourselves off the stage of action to make room for the oncoming generations. Adios.
