Not noticed by the teacher, ( For I guess I wasn’t missed), I journeyed through the land of dreams. Which by sunbeams are kissed. The first sight that came to me, I clearly do recall. It was Holland working on an aeroplane, That's all. And as I stood there gazing On that old schoolmate of mine, A child came running, crying, “Dad, it’s supper time.” The scene now vanished quickly, And another came in view; It was just a farming scene. Which I'll not describe to you. But who is the couple yonder At the handle of the plow? It is Mac, the modern farmer, And the lady is his frau. The scene now quickly changed To an office in the west, Where sat a lonesome lawyer In his arm chair, at rest. And as I gazed into his face, I recognized the eyes; It was Willard Weidner, To my intense surprise. The next scene that came to me, I think I shall remember; It was a pretty cottage In the autumn month, November. And as I gazed in through the door, My eyes on two old maids fell. They were Mae and Julia, That’s all I’d better tell. And as I waited patiently For another scene to come, I realized that through the next My future life would run. But when the next came into view I with disgust was greeted, For 'twas—if you have not seen all Please remain seated. 10 nRlMFI ELD HIGH 8 (' H O O L Class Constitution PREAMBLE We, the class of '14, in order to form a more perfect class, establish discipline in class meetings, protect ourselves from the hostile Juniors, secure the good will of Professor Wilkins and the blessings of Miss Bibo, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the class of ’14 of the Brimfield High School.

To the all-studious and ever-complaining Sophomores, we bequeath our supreme good humor, and our knowledge of Grammar to the Sophomore Latin Class. To the Freshmen we do solemnly bequeath our ability to keep things lively during recitation periods and not to receive the same grade on examination.

I, Julia E. Hindle, do give and bequeath my worn out pencil eraser to Mary Memler, and my quietness to Mary Crohan. I, Willard J. Weidner, do wish to bestow my oratorical ability on Walter Pacey, my knowledge of Physics on Caroline Blundy, and my foolishness and spare time in school on some deserving little Junior. I, Wilbert Best, do bestow my bashfulness in the presence oi girls on Willis Kingdon and my ability as a solo singer on Mildred Scott. I. Clarence Maher, do give and bequeath my poetical note books, numbering not more than one thousand to the school library, and my stand-in with the Grammar Room and Primary girls to Willis Kingdon, my rival. I, Mary Finnegan, wish to bestow my Latin pony on the Sophomore class in general and my ambition on John Mulvaney. 12 H 11 I M FIELD HIGH SCHOOL Senior Class Play “Won by Wireless” CHARACTERS William Ainsworth, financial magnate.......Holland Learned Jack Simms, wireless operator..............Willard Weidner Robert Faulkner, captain of the “Mistress Mary”. .Clarence Maher Count DeLucca—An Italian nobleman...............Wilbert Best Lady Caroline Rathbone, Ainsworth’s daughter......Miss Bibo Geraldine Ainsworth, her sister..............Julia Hindle Kitty Lee.

John Dungan We are the class of ’16, And a happy bunch are we. That we are faithful students, Is easy enough to see. “Ad Stellas aspera via,” Is a motto that's worth while, For although its form is Latin, It surely has the style. Talbert is very talkative. And must always have his say; While “Swede” is very quiet Hut is always in the way. “Dingle” is a druggist And is strong for chocolate bars, Pearl is a songster And her dream is opera stars. Donald is the athlete That has won our team such fame, But his taste is great for cookies Which is his middle name. Mary wears the auburn hair. Which is winning Doogie’s” eye, While Sister Helen’s motto is, If I fail, why let me die.” Viola is the president Of our Sophomore tribe. And “Mullie’s a musician, Who years ago has died. Ella is the only one. Of whom I have not spoken And tho she’s last, she’s not the least. Without a bit of jokin’. IH THE SPECTATOR 1914 Miss Bibo—“What was the reason for people rebelling against taxes, Holland?” Holland—“Because they could see the direct tax, but didn’t notice a tax of fifty cents when it was wrapped up in some imported goods.” “Robert, said the teacher, “Please read the first sentence.” A lad arose to his feet and amid a series of labored gasps breathed out: “See that horse runnin’.” “Don't forget the ‘g’, Robert,” admonished the teacher. “Gee, see that horse runnin’.” Miss Bibo—(Commercial Geography): “What is Holland chiefly noted for? Ell wood—“11 eighth and feet.” A MISTAKEN IDEA Two fun loving maidens, dear Fanny and Sue: (One had big brown eyes, the other had blue); Were seated one night by the fire’s bright glow; And talking of lovers, as girls will, you know. Said Fanny to Sue, “I’ve a secret to tell, If you'll promise me Susan, that you'll guard it well; I suppose you’ll think it horrid of me, And wonder however this thing came to be; Now bend down your head and I’ll whisper it low.” The maid’s eyes were dancing, her cheeks were aglow. “I hope you won't hate me, you poor little Fan, But I’m deeply in love with an old married man.” Young Susan sprang up, with dismay on her face; “Oh! Fannie, dear Fannie, what an awful disgrace; If this thing is true, then our friendship must end; I never can claim you again as my friend.” “Now Miss Susan Hurdle, you ought to be glad, That I’m in love, with my own darling Dad; And friends or no friends, I will love him.” cried Fan; “Although my dear Daddy’s an old married man.” “M. C.” “What did you do, James, when Edw'ard called you a liar?” asked the teacher. “I remembered what you said, that ‘a soft answer turneth away wrath.’ ” “Good. What soft answer did you make?” “Well, I hit him with a rotten tomato.” We always laugh at teacher’s jokes, No matter wdiat they be; ’Tis not because they’re funny, But because it’s policy. 86 n r r m f i r l i) If i a II 8 c n o o L I stood upon the mountain, I looked down on the plane, I saw a lot of green stuff. It looked like moving grain. I took another look, I thought it must be grass, But goodness! to my horror! It was the Freshman class. When all my thinks in vain are thunk, When all my winks in vain are wunk. What saves me from an awful flunk? My pony. Judge—“Are you married or single? Talesman—“Married three years, your Honor.” Judge—“Have you formed any opinion?” Talesman—“Not for three years.” HIGH SCHOOL NOTES (Copied from the Brimfield News in 1892) The following program will be given by the Literary Society next Friday p. m.: Organ Solo...............................................Nettie Johnson Recitation ...........................................Ollie Hockinberry Essay .....................................................Nettie Lucas Solo ........................................................Will Lamb Talk ........................................................Thad Fuchs Recitation ..................................................Villa Guyer Debate—“Resolved that country life is more desirable for boys than city. Affirmative—Blanch Pursell, Ollie Hockinberry. Negative—Thad Fuchs, Arleigh Hayes. 1900 The Seniors are following the course of nature and as the grass grows green, they follow suit. Ask Will Ibeck and Archie Bennett who brought them to school Monday afternoon. Jennie Smith, Seth Cobb and Harry Sloacum. of the Intermediate, are having the mumps. Bessie Farnum and Tom Pacey visited school Wednesday. The back seat in the second row seems to be centre of attraction for a certain young gentleman in the Freshman class. Lost or Strayed—One of our Junior boys, Atherine Keeling. Any information as to his whereabouts will be gratefully received. A United States History class, composed of three Seniors and three Freshman, has been organized. It will recite for fifteen or twenty minutes after school. An eraser and a tack caused considerable merriment and perhaps a little embarrassment to some of our pupils, Monday. Perhaps Claude Miller and Ray Clark could give some information on the matter. THE 8PECTATOR The Freshman Class OFFICERS President...........................Perry Reek Vice President..................Mary Mulvaney Secretary and Treasurer . . . Walter Pacey Our class, consisting of eleven very brilliant members, made its first embarrassed bow to the dignified high school in the fall of 1913. What high hopes and anticipations were ours! We had this day attained that bright, luminous goal for which we had endured the eight tedious, grinding years in the lower grades. We must admit that it was with fear and trembling that we entered on that memorable morning, with the gaze of the unsympathetic high school upon us. But, considering the fact that we brought with us such brilliant and illustrious additions to the high school, the more sophisticated members( who were aching to make it hot for us) dared not do more than look pleasant. For did we not claim both first and second places in the county examinations (an event without precedent in our school), a first medal in declamation, an expert pianist and vocalist, not mentioning our mile sprinter and two such champion spellers as “Reed” and “Earl.” We have encountered many hardships, among them Algebra, English, History, Spelling, Geography and the reproving glances of the faculty, but true to our motto, “Never let studies interefere with fun,” we are never-the-less enjoying life to the utmost and' expect to make our names famous in the annals of our Alma Mater.” W. P., ’17 20 n a i m f •; l i) HIGH SCHOOL Milton’s Lgcidas—Revised Yet once again, ye old trees, And again, ye grasses green forever grooving. For every man must sometimes in rest lie And sometime die. Without the next, eternal fate a-knowing. Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear Compels me to disturb his peaceful slumber, For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his time. Young Lycidas, and he has gone to thunder. He left this earth about a week ago And traveled toward the gate that is golden. As he stood before St. Peter at the golden door, He heard his sins on earth below Told in accents harsh and low— To go to where his pals were moulding. Fie pleaded vainly for a chance. But was told, “Get off the ranch. So he began to wind his way Down the steep and rocky road, And as he went he increased to sweat, Until his clothes were wringing wet. At last he saw a smoke wind slowly from a darkened cave. Through which a river of fire flowed, And then he knew his fears were grave. He knocked upon an iron gate And waited, his eyes full of tears As he entertained the worst of fears, When he heard Satan shake the grate. Satan came and looked him over. While all the devils around him hovered; But Satan slowly shook his head And turning to his devils, said: “That man’s the worst I ever saw. He’d ruin the law that I have here; Declare himself ‘King,’ without a fear.’’ “Young Lycidas then heard him yell— “Now turn and beat it out of h---.’’ “Cy.” T E 8 P E C T A T O R 1914 THE TRACK TEAM Learned, Kingdon, Pacey, Hurt, Reek, Maher, Hunt, Plummer, Yerby, Kingdon, Plummer, Weidner, Best, Mulvaney, W.

Only a small beginning was made, which we trust will be a nucleus for further musical effort. The following are the members of the orchestra and their instruments: Willis Kingdon, piano; John Mulvaney, violin; Walter Pacey, clarinet; Leland Pacey, trombone.

In fact, they are so very fresh That they’re a little green. They sit and giggle ’till the tears Run down their rosy cheeks; And on making recitations They surely make some freaks. “Katie” is a “Christian,” While “Mary likes to “Hunt,” And “Peary” is a dandy On pulling off a stunt. There are some who don’t like history, There are some who like to spell. There are some who don’t like anything, But to go outside and yell. Mildred Scott is a great runner, She’s as fleet as fifty deers, But sometimes she’ll sit and giggle ’Till she drowns herself in tears. The rest I will not speak about. They seem to have no fame, And honestly, I don’t believe They’d come in out of a rain. “CY” Miss Bibo—“What are the gastric glands?” Walter—“They are glands on each side of the mouth.” Miss Brock way—“What changes took place after the return of the Union soldiers from war?” Roger—“The soldiers came home and took off their union suits.” Miss Bibo—“What is the epiglottis?” Mary C.—“Oh! a little trap hole business that opens and shuts.” Lives of Juniors oft remind us, We can make our lives sublime; And by asking foolish questions Take up recitation time. 25 THE SPECTATOR 1914 The Alumni Department 1896 Gertrude Bowman (Johnson)..............................Kansas City, Mo.
