looked in upon a blushing pair of incipient seniors in the window of the Ash-street Hall. The graduation of the Class of '85 furnished a great amount of work to a certain few of '86. It remained for the Class of '86 to invent and prepare a Class Motto, such as Manchester had never seen. A design was submitted and approved, and then the work began. The young ladies had proposed that it be formed on a frame of solid wood. Such a concern would have weighed many hundreds of pounds, yet these young ladies supposed that it could be upheld by an z'111'1k1'h!e frffnf. The motto finally produced was formed of white letters on a framework of black, twenty-five feet in length. Une day the shades of eve were falling-not that there is anything particularlyunusual in that, especially in a climate like ours. where the shades of eve are in the hahit of falling frequently, but on this particular day we think proper to call especial notice to the fact. No sound was heard save the gurgling snort of the hull-frog and the shrill staccato of the katydid. ln a swampy field a party of seven were scattered around on their knees, like a crowd of heathen devotees worshipping the setting sun. But they were n't heathen devotees. They were members of '86, collecting moss for the graduating exercises of 'S5. That Excursion, as recalled to memory. is a confused chaos of cataracts, of wild horses, and cat fights, and clipped dogs, and young lady lost with young gent. A wondrous mixture of thrilling adventure. Not until january of '85 was a Class organization perfected. At that time a corps of officers was chosen, whose work has given general satisfaction. There was no doubt that ED. TAsK1-:R was the man best calculated to till the chair. He had actually lived in the heart of the national Capital, had seen live Presidents without a tremor, and had elbowed Congressmen and Plenipotentiaries on the public street. He was the man for the situation. The Vice-President, Mr. ED. 1143

the Philosophy class, when we were physics, will never be entirely forgotten. Then we also remember Astronomy as connected with Thuban, and jimmy Nye, and Satan, Ah, what hosts of thronging memories the word reminiscences calls before us. The Class of ,86 have need also to remember gratefully the gifted instructors who have taught our ideas the noble art of shooting. We have, during our four years' course, been under the tutelage of more teachers than any other class in the schoolls history. Three Principals have been accorded us: ALBERT W. BACHELER, who was, during two years, a much loved and respected teacher of our Class, THOMAS D. ADAMS, who held his position during two termsg and E. R. GooDwtN. who guided us through the remainder of our course, and who gained. from the hrst, the respect of the Class, securing for us a most satisfactory closing year. The other teachers who have taught the Class are, one and all, worthy of more than all the good words in the dictionary. The names follow: Mr. G. I. HOPKINS, Misses MANAHAN, BUZZELL, ELA, TUsoN, S'1'AN'roN, DEAN, Dow, and A1NswoRTi-1, and Mr. GIBSON, not forgetting our professor of music, Mr. j. J. KIMBALL, who has spared neither time nor pains in our behalf. The history of the Class is replete with amusing incidents. Once a member of '86 adorned the caudal appendage of a dog with a huge bou- quetg hid dog, bouquet and all, under his desk until exercises begang then let loose dog and bouquet, and with liendish delight watched them walk down the aisle together. The young man spent the remainder of the afternoon alone with his conscience. Classmates will recognize the following description: It was a pretty picture. Out of doors black storm-clouds were breaking. A strip of ceru- lean blue shone forth. Then the golden sun burst from his prison and U33
