STURGIS, Q. K., was also well selected. He was an authority on bicycles, and was said to be a great man at church sociables. These facts show at once that he was the only class member big enough Cfrguratively speakingj to wear the presidential shoes when TASKER was n't present. The Treasurer, Monsieur HEA'IH, was also an admirable choice. The facility with which it was said he could borrow hve dollars at a time, without a murmur from his victim, showed that, as a Treasurer, he would be in his glory. In justice to M. HEATH, we would say right here that he never had class money enough in his care at any time to pay his fare to Canada. He never shirked his duty. The Executive Committee was another success, and was composed of wordy TASKER, winning SIMONS, witty ABBOTT, wise MERRILL, and willing MARTIN. When the school paper, The Arga, was breaking to pieces on the rocks of ruin, '86 thought of taking command, even elected the necessary officials. Then The 1473711 died, and '86 buried it. The Class has done much to bring success to all school organizations, such as the lyceum and the military organization. One cold day, during the first term of our senior year, the freshies were thunderstruck at seeing a tall, dignified paper collar walk calmly up the steps of the M. H. S., and enter that temple of learning. On a near approach it was noticed that the paper collar was accompanied by a senior, as cool and calm as the collar itself. The collar was at once the focus for all eyes. It was a remarkable collar, a collar of wondrous proportions, and of antique, unique mold, a sort of cross between the time-honored Ndickey of our ancestors and a white-washed fence. Soon another collar appeared, then another, until it was noted that every male senior sported one of these monstrosi- ties. Queer coincidence. Still more strange was the fact that the profes- sor should select every one of these collar bearers Qnot a punp to go for about a score of books which were at the superintendent's office. When C173

RAIJUA'l'ION came at last to the Class of '86, as it must to all classes. For weeks were we preparing for the hour when we were to make Q Nl I our linal bow as High School students. That our ii ' endeavors were productive of good results was a source K, of greatest pleasure to us. It was with a strange mix- y f'IH ' ture of sadness and joy that we assembled at the school 4 building on graduation day to take leave of the old X I W .V associations,-the lecture room and our old recitation 'I A rooms, where, in days gone by, so many pleasant hours Q 7 had been spent. After the graduation exercises in the evening, the Class was tendered an ice cream supper by the teachers. It was duly appreciated, and did not result in creating other than an artificial coolness between the members. Then, with many a parting word of good will, we separated, and the history of the Class of '86 was ended. Not a blot mars the purity of our record. Nothing is there of which we can sa Y, We would have had it otherwise. 'l'he Class of '86 was a model of t SUCCESS. 1185
