24 C V M T I X Ivy Penny, the professor of English Was loved by bis pupils and a teacher distinguished, Ora Mae Galloway and Winsome Ware, Were teaching stenography and shorthand there. Miss Lottie Herring, librarian of the B. II. S. crowd Explained that no kissing in the library would be allowed. And we had a new force of janitors too— Who worked much better than the others used to, James Norman, the head one, was good as a rule, He tried to keep every thing clean in the school— And Maggie ue Harris, his dear little wife, Always tried to make happy his life. Tom Staple’s time was spent in sweeping the hall, lie kept the floors clean by hours of toil. It was the duty of dear little Minnie and Sara— To make the kitchen look like a mirror. Alas!—I awoke!

The people all mourned the loss of Charlie Chaplain, But his place was soon taken by witty Mires Jackson. And of all the charity dances, Fred Ilenslee was giving, The best of the season was the one at Thanksgiving; Here Virginia Young had met her fate, He was Casca Ward, who came near being late. Clara Holly, I thought, had gone ’way out West, Her health was not good, so she thought it was best; There fate to her had been kind. She married Julien Peterson who owned a gold mine;— Jack Phillips, the principal of Bolton High School, Had as his faculty, some of the senior pupils.
