As is usual in such undertakings, we did not allow time enough and any fault you may Hnd you will please ascribe to this and not to any lack of ability on the part of the authors. Any remarks, laudatory or otherwise, about the members of this committee you will consider to have been written by the other members. We are not coneeited. We have tried to make the reading matter bright, inter- esting and funny, so any mistake, typographical, grammatical or what, you must take as one of the jokes and pass on. Furthermore, charity covers a multitude of sins, so if you are tempted to censure us remember our generosity in selling these books for a quarter of what they are worth. Please patronize our advertisers, especially ifyou are o11e of the loxver classes. By so doing you will induce them to advertise in your annual in the years to come. Our thanks are due to Miss Hooker, Miss Alice Woodman, Miss Phoebe Nicholas and Mr. Herman johnson for the illustrations, here presented, which are entirely theirs, also to our superintendent, our principal and such of the teachers and pupils who added their little to the artistic side of our book. In addition, we must express our gratitude to all who have contributed articles and all who have kindly allowed us to use them as subjects for ourjokes. , iT?'3 -is 'rar' if ' V.,-1. fa- - I 791, .f 'y 'L+ .1 i-:VS-1 ai?

Prof. Curtis came to our city only about a year ago, yet in that short time he has made hosts of friends, not only among the citizens but in every de- partment ofthe schools. In every teacher and pupil Mr. Curtis has a firm friend and admirer. In superintending the schools he has succeeded splendidly. In spite of the financial reverses that fell upon our system during the past year, lie has by hard labor and diligent effort kept the public 12 'THE SENIOR ANNUAL. schools of St. Paul up to their high level. He has always taken a deep interest in this, our school, and is known and liked by all that study here. As for hishandsome appearance, look at his picture. We can add no more praise. It was rumored at one time that he was a descendant of the noted author whose name he bears. It was noticed that this promoted new interest in the study of the classics. The sorrow at his loss we of '98 feel most keenly, for he was our Superintendent in our Senior year. ' -f THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 13 This is the picture of Mr. Smith as he looked nearly four years ago on the September morning when we, the Class of 1898, first saw him as our school principal. From term to term ive have been obliged to take work of many different teachers but this face we have had always with us as that of our principal. XVe have seen it in the Assembly Hall, sometimes telling us of the death of a class-mate, sometimes of victories in athletics, we have seen it in the office, sometimes as we awaited the answer to some flimsy excuse, sometimes atease when we mere- ly chatted, sometimes with the greatest attention when we asked his advice. It is the face of a man who has taken a deep and helpful interest in the Class of 1898 from the time when he helped us to 14 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. start our organization and who has always wished to see us make the most of our abilities and oppor- tunities and who has helped us to do so. The writer seems almost to have forgotten that Mr. Smith belongs to the whole school as well as to the Class of '98, As principal of the school he has shown himselfa capable man and the Board of Edu- cation has recognized his ability by making him superintendent of the St. Paul schools. XVe wish him success and happiness in his new position. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 15 The Freshman when he first enters Room 22, is utterly bewildered and withered up by the storm of sarcasm with which any failure on his part is fol- lowed. It is something he never dreamed of before but in a few months he learns to take it as a part of the lesson as much as the conjugation of the verb or the day's translation. Mr. Fisk's bearing towards his class is anything but bashful, but the entrance of a visitor will make him blush like a boy, and in his embarrassment and haste to furnish his guest with a seat, he is apt to dump his own gloves into the waste-basket. Then the young ladies of the school sometimes cause the poor man intense pain by in- sisting on walking down to the car with him. But what of that, he is a fine man. XVe can add but little in praise of Mr. F. XY. Fisk, to the splendid testimo- nial that Pres. Carter of Williams College gave to 16 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. him in his address before our school. Mr. Fisk is a gentleman born and bred, a scholar and a teacher. He has sprsad the fame of the St. Paul High School through all the great Colleges and Universities ofthe East. At his own College, Williams, his pupils in Latin and Greek are accepted on his recommenda- tion, without an examination. All arguments against the study ofthe classics fall Hat before what he accomplishes. The constant review and drill, the exactness required, the steady application to his studies, though the pupil may not see it, are forming and strengthening his character more than anything else in his school life. Small wonder is it that Papa Latin is loved and reverenced by his pupils as is no one else. . 'SQ THE SENIOR ANNUAL.- 17 r,,,.,, , ,vw Q We can add but little praise of Miss Gauthier to that spoken here by her picture. Sunclce it to say that her especial hobby is the costuming and stage setting of the plays given in the school. This is something that all the classes appreciate. The help that Miss Gauthier has given to the success of our plays we can but acknowledge and not repay. Her, love ofbeauty is shown in the arrangements of her own room, Room 6. If surroundings have anything to do with the formation of pupils' character, bliss Gauthier's drawing pupils ought to develop into artists, lYe are sure that the beauty of their room and the careful training they get in drawing will soon produce from among them a great artist. 18 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. We pass Room 7 in fear and trembling, for Mr. VVelch handles without gloves. VVe are sorry to have no likeness of Mr. Welch to present, for he does not look exceptionally' fierce. And no wonder for it is by means of earnest exhortation, and to put it mildly, sharp reprimand, that he instils in his pupils the excellent knowledge of Latin they acquire. Nat- urally the Freshman trembles, but the upper classes know his way, and pursue their way, a way, by the way, always, admitting of improvement. Truly Mr. Welch is very popular and agreeable-outside of school. But in spite of all this Mr. Welch is held in high esteem by all, and we are glad to number in our faculty a man of such great scholastic attainments, force of character and sterling worth. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 19 Miss Riggs teaches Biology, Zoology, Botany and Physiology in Room 8. There she administers things with a most military precision. Please do notjudge her though by her picture here. She neith- er looks like this nor has she such a disposition as this would show. To Miss Riggs her sciences are all in all. She is forever laboring at the development of her line of work and studying to keep up on the lat- est points. 20 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. A One teacher whom we shall. not forget in a hurry is Miss Minor. In the first place we shall remember that she was not lavish with V. Gs. and that we had to work for those we got. YVe had to work ourselves for we couldn't work Miss Minor, her iudgment is too good. When we think of her we shall always see her bright and cheerful and full of life, for we never knew her otherwise. We shall also remember that she knew all about the mathematics she taugth and that she wasn't to blame if her pupils did not come to the same knowledge. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 21 Enthusiasm, spirit, and progression are the ele- ments which prevade the very air in Room 10 and you have only to be in the room a few moments to become aware of this fact and to be ailected by them. ' , A large American flag in front of the room and a picture of Queen Victoria in a less prominent place suggests the studies to which the room is devoted. American and English History are taught here by Miss Pollock, and taught so well that her pupils never lack interest in the subject which she renders so attractive. A is A With the deepest respect we quote the following lines which we think truly applicable HAnd still they gazed and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew. 22 THE SENIOR ANNU.xLi -' . f 'l 13..i:?i'Z: ' 5-Vs s ifll- I ' f 9 , P5 f , .,,L I , Ae.. , H -vggivff.-Q-mg, .4 5 .am ' 14:7 1,s2q'ez,: .,? .

Il a enseigne a l'ecoale superieure beaucoup d'- annces et nous esperons qu'il continura d' en en- seigner beaucoup plus. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 23 l Miss Newson is commonly known as the 'tSen- ior teacherg Qnever address her that way though, if you have regard for her good wishesb. Her domin- ion extends overRoom 12, hard by the High School gatef' Here she leads the sportive Seniors through the mazes of English Literature and on the way has considerable amusement with them. There is an im- pression abroad that Miss Newson is a sort of fiery dragon, likely to swallow you any minute. VVe feel we should remedy this mistakeg if handled with due care and caution Miss Newson is quite tractable. Certainly she makes her pupils swallow their Eng- lish Literature, and erstwhile teaches them much COI1'1I1'1OI'l SCTISC. 24 ' THE SENIOR ANNUAL. Miss Reily presides over Room 15, the room of unknown quantities, of angles, etc. Here the Freshman learns that a times b:ab, etc, and the brilliant Sophomore CSophs are always brilliantj wastes his bodily tissue endeavor- ing to comprehend the fact that a straight line, etc. Miss Reily not only sees that a certain lesson is learned but that itis learned in acertain way, had we her likeness to present, you would see in an instant that her classes are always conducted just so. As a teacher and a lady Miss Reily is highly re- spected and all will look back on her as one who aided much in the acquirement of those higher quali- ties without which education is a delusion and a snare. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 25 Miss Klorgan holds forth in room 16 where she instructs the little fourths and thirds in the theory and practice of English Composition. Miss hforgan has no little peculiarities to give us a chance at her here, but we may say in passing that she is not as fierce as she looks. Wie do not know whether it is this apparent Herceness or her real mildness that so effectually gets the principles oflinglish Composition into her pupils' heads. 26 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. In Room 17 lliss Hooker shows her pupils the the uses of pencils, pens, crayons and brushes. All the time she does not put into actual teaching she gives to decorating the school for entertainments, in which her successes are invariable. lllitness the rap- turous comments ofthe guests and audience at our receptions and plays. Each of her triumphs in decor- ating is betterthan the last, and her stock of novel ties is inexhaustable. She is a universal genius. Not only in all branches of art Qshe made the colored plates of this bookj but in music, too, she is promi- nent. VVe especially are her debtors. The class of '98 she declares is her favorite, and this she conhrms by her acts. However this interest in outside mat- ters detracts nothing from the value of her class work. Her pupils must work hard and learn to draw, which they invariably do. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 27 .J tiff? In room 18, under the instruction of Madame De Camp, the pupils are started on the paths which lead to a knowledge of the French language. It is always with regret that the scholars are obliged to leave her at the end ofthe Hrst year. XVhile with her they gain a sound foundation for their future study and carry awav with them a warm and generous feeling for so kind a friend and teacher. 28 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. Miss Caroline Austin presides over the premises Qmajor and minorj of Room 19. She is known to ig- norant Fourths and Thirds as the other Miss Austin. She had the honor in 1897 of being the Ujunioru teacher. In other years she has the duty of teaching the Juniors the facts of Rhetoric and American Literature. This treatment she varies with large doses of written work, and thereby shows her pupils the pleasure of studying till one and two o'clock A. M. But just the same this does them good. We know some people who got more good from the hard boning they did in Rhetoric than from any- thing else in the school. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 29 On the second floor, in Room 20, you will find Miss Crumbacher, teacher of English. Bad, unruly boys seem to be her special delight and somehow when they emerge from her beneficient rule they are less unruly than before they entered. Her methods of teaching are advanced. The nevvpsapers edited every so often by the class serve as a novel means for essay writing. She points out to her scholars the roads along which to learn, and whether they gain much or little while under her instruction rests entirely with them- selves. 30 .THE SENIOR ANNUAL. Carolus Fiscus in atrio vicesimo primo Latina et Graeca docet. Causa eius grati moris excusandi et dernittendi onmes, qui rogent CUH'1,3I1'12lt1J1' ab dis- cipulis.

Discipuli ab eo et linguam, et multam cle- mentiam et humanitatem discuuf. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 31 Miss Keene is the very etlicient secretary of the school. She has charge of all the clerical work and the details of the school's administration, as well as the supervision ofthe oHice and library lull of Fresh- men. Among other numerous things she generally takes care of the rooms of absent teachers in ad- dition to her regular duties. Miss Keene has a sister who looks exactly like her. XYhen Miss Keene is absent her sister takes her place. For several days no one perceives the dif- ference. Then she shows her ignorance of something Miss Keene should know and the news spreads over the school that Miss Keene's sister is here. XYhen Miss Keene comes back, it likewise is not cliscoverecl for several days. This system has many advantages for both and but few inconveniences, and thehexcit- ing guessing that it furnishes the pupils, makes up for their inconveniences. 32 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. The editorial we have never had Miss Dough- erty as a teacher, but of course we like her as an ac- quaintance. From her pupils we hear excellent re- ports of her jollity and merits in the class room. She has not been long in our school and was not with us '98's when we took Ancient and Mediaeval History. We congratulate the '00's and '0l's in having her for their own. THE Srsxiok ANNUAL. 33 Kliss Flora Austin instructs pupils of all classes and conditions, from Freshy to Senior, in Room 25. She shows them the peculiar properties of X and Y and the strange contortions they perform under the hands of Messrs. Olney and Wells. She takes great delight in the presence of an impressive stillness in her room and insists on her pupils walking to the board in a sober and digniiied manner. However, this atmosphere of quiet, to judge from the results, is conducive to the absorption of Algebra. '-34 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. '1 Mr. Rink dispenses Algebra, beginning Latin and higher German, from his chair of state in Room 26. He has a habit of expressing his opinion of the pupils in a free and unlimited manner and battering subjects into their heads with heavy vocal artillery. The pupil may have any kind of an excuse for not preparing his lessong es mach nichts ausg he has to submit to the storm of sarcasm. But Mr. Rink's German education gave him an enormous stock of knowledge, a large part of which he suc- ceeds in getting through the thick heads of his Amer- ican pupils.

The favorite of the girls, although married, Mr. Denny of course stands high in theregard of the boys and, indeed, his heart is young. He not only ex- pounds Natural Philosophy QFreshman may con- sult a dictionaryj and Astronomy but is a moving spirit in school affairs. He takes an active interest in the double quartette, athletics and all the volun- tary work of the school. Mr. Denny ranks high as an educator, creating in the pupil an interest in the subject under discus- sion and no one has been under him who does not desire to study Physics and Astronomy more deeply than is permitted in a High School course. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 37 lVe wish that the picture showed Mr. Saw- yer explaining something about Physics or Chemis- try to a class of pupils, for that would be a very characteristic attitude. He can explain everthing relating to these sciences from the manufacture of war vessels to the making of bread and is always glad to do so. He is firm but good-natured and when a whole class Hunks he gets neither angry nor sad, but sets about to make us learn better the next lesson. l? i 38 THE SENIOR A NNUAL Our New Superintendent. ,THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 39 'Ek A f f ' ' 'te Tucked away on the third Hoor is Room 32, and here you will find Miss Kellogg, providing she is not in the Assembly Hall or Gymnasium. A red and white bow at the back of her desk looks exceedingly fresh and at once you surmise that the 'lfourthsl' are her special care. But she has other duties besides teaching these children, she hears the mighty seniors recite those much beloved essays! She is, then, one ofthe most privileged persons in the school,for while the other teaeher's and scholars hear these essays but once, Miss Kellogg hears them at least a halfa dozen times. This accounts for the tact that she is sometimes in the Assembly Hall or Gymnasium. Notwithstanding this duty she always looks bright and smiling. It is a mystery, but it speaks well for her disposition. 40 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. After climbing three flights of stairs, one is in- clined to believe that he hears an angel voice, and perhaps his illusion is not entirely dispelled when he discovers it is Miss Beach teaching history in Room 33. Here theuvvee ones take their Hrst sip of Ancient Lore and as they grow stronger are fed IMQ-diaeval and Modern History, until they are large enough to be sent to Room 10, for the solid foods, the English and American Histories, with their inevitable nightmare of note-books. Although Miss Beach is a trifle nervous in the presence of strangers and blushes frequently fthe girls all envy her blushesj, she is an excellent teacher and one soon finds that her nervousness is not to be compared to his, especially when for some moment- ous and unavoidable cause, he has neglected his lesson. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 41 VVe regret that we are unable to favor the reader with a likeness of Mr. Kenny. He teaches both His- tory and English Composition in our school, but is chiefly known by his work in the latter. He requires daily written lessons, which tend to develop the pupil's imagination by giving him constant practice in the art of inventing excuses. However, these lessons are productive of much real good in increas- ing the vocabulary of a pupil. The writer distinctly remembers acquiring by this means the words, pro- mulgate, tortuous, rood and several phrases which are handy when he wishes to be grandiloquent. The writer also learned to love YValter Scott by reading the Lady of the Lake in one of Mr. Kenny's classes. l 4-2 THli SENIOR ANNUAL. In Room 36, Mr. Lange holds forth and teaches us to twist our tongues in true German fashion and in addition lays before us the mysteries of Geology. Mr. Lange believes in work, and sees that his classes do their share, but he also believes in recrea- tion and takes a deep interest in athletics and all af- fairs ofthe school. He it is that marshals the boys for parade and afterwards sets up the ice-cream in true knightly fashion. One never passes a recitation in Mr. Lange's room but that he learns something new for Mr. Lange is one of the best informed men in the school. All who have had him will ever remember him as an able teacher, a firm friend and a noble man. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 43 Last, but far from least, we take great pleasure in placing before you, indulgent reader, the likeness of the most eliicient member of our faculty, jim, he of the broom and tawny mustache. Genial, faithful, ohliging, he is thelfavorite of teacher and pu- pil. He is the one to see when you are arranging for a luncheon, Cwe have no spreads you knowj and although he rings the gong a little too soon when we are tarcly, still we gladly forgive and also forget,-our excuses. jim l1as no high sounding title. He needs none, but we think no one will leave behind him a more lasting and pleasing memory than will he. And when, O Senior, in the future, memory shall turn thy steps back and leading thee to thy haunts of old, shall direct thy way to the High School, thou shalt find that though it has no place in the course of study and no class-room, duty was taught and taught largely by Jim. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. LYDIA A. VANDERWARKER THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 4-5 A memorial service for the late lXIiss Vanderxvar- ker was held Friday, January 9th, After a selection by the Christ Church choir, Air. L. D. XYilkes pre- sented tl1e resolutions adopted by the School Board. Prof. F. XV. Fisk then read the following memorial: Lydia A. Vandervvarker came to St. Paul as a teacher in September, 1872. She taught six years in the jefferson school, was then appointed teacher of mathematics in the high school. This position she held until last June, when failing health led her to re- tire from it. One year she was absent in foreign travel. S3 her years of teaching in this city num- bered twenty-four. That is the simple statement of her service here, but that is far from all. There are many more out of this school than there are in it, who can tell what is meant by these twenty-four years of her service. Hundreds of young men and women ofthis city have have been her pupils. To them her understanding or the subjects that she taught, her keenness and depth of perception, her clearness and force ofpresentation, l1er earnestness and thoroughness of teaching, her requirement of diligence and accuracy, her love ot intellectual and moral truth, are a living remem- brance as they were an incentive to mental awaken- ing and activity, a guide in intellectual pursuits, a source of esteem and confidence and a controlling element in the forming of mind and character. In this school she taught vvith Eve successive principals, and was our oldest associate in thelength of service, and she is the first whose loss We arecalled on to mourn. Through these many years her inter- est did not wane, her devotion did not lessen, with growing experience grevv her ability, her influence l 46 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. and power, her value as a teacher, guide, friend, counsellor and associateg and when in these last years strength of body began to fail, that failure was accompanied by no failure of mental activity, her mind stayed bright and clear and strong. We teachers of the present day, as those who were here before us, recognized the qualities that made her a strong teacher-her native capacity, her preparation for this work, her realization of its greatness, her conscientiousness of purpose, and her devotion to duty. We valued her as a friend and prized her as an associate, not only active for the welfare and improvement of her own pupils, but with a still larger interest in all that concerns our school, increases its efficiency, enlarges its influence and makes it a source of strength to our community. As we recall her work and worth we realize that a noble woman has left us. Prof. B. F. lVright spoke in eulogy of our de- parted teacher, as did Prof. Bond. After a solo by Nliss Gordon, Miss Newson spoke on Miss Vander- warker as a teacher, and Leavitt Corning and Frank H. Griggs spoke in behalf ofthe alumni. A solo by the choir and a brief eulogy by Father Prendergast closed the services. W THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 47 48 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. For the benefit of strangers, on the preceding page is a picture of the place where we were edu- cated. It has rather a homely, plain appearance but beauty is but brick deep, and the school's con- tents,especially its human contents, are beauty itself. On the left you see the front door and the famous front steps. Here the tariff question, the conduct of the war, and sundry sandwiches, are discussed. Over on the right and away up high you see the observatory where the telescope, our telescope, the pride of the school, is mounted. As you see, the school has two wings. The second Hoor of the part connecting these is the Assembly Hall, the scene of so many triumphs, oratorical and dramatic. We can hardly call the High School our Alma Materg that is reserved for colleges: but we may designate it our Alma Major Soror, and under this, loving title we bid it a fond farewell. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. Here, when all the school assembles, All the pupils in the hall, In a crowd that much resembles YVhat they call a Deadwood ball, You may hear the Seniors speak.

XVith no desire to be accused of writing ancient history we yet feel that we should make some men- tion of '97's gift or gifts to the school. It IS perfectly obvious under the workings of natural laws that nothing could have been said about the gift in the Animal of '97. It consisted of a large number of very desirable and costly books that the school previously had not had the money to ob- tain. As we are the class most benefited by these Cshoxvn in our Work of this yearj we extend the thanks of the school to the departed for the remem- brance they left. ltis a more than worthy recom- pence for what they received from the school. ln view of the number of books and the amount of information therein we feel that it would notbe at all uncomplimentary to the class of '97 to say that they gave to the school more knowledge than they took a xv ay. x '57 f f ffl. , - ly f g yffqlw QW, Wi W is fX 'stuffy U X?

Vernon and Hlinifred Brill, re- spectively. The Freshmen made up their minds that with so many officers they really ought to accom- plish something and, therefore, adopted class colors, blue and gold, and a class motto Noble Efforts for Noble Ends. At the beginning of the second term the class gen- erously rewarded james Uttley and Louise Ray for their faithful service as vice-presidents by making them president and secretary of the class. In order to keep up their reputation for work, the class now adopted an odicial pin, and composed for a yell the enphonious chant given at the head of this article. They also responded to the demand made on them to run the llforld for a month, and they put out a good edition. For the first term of the Sophomore year the president and secretary of the class were Louise Ray and Louis lNIcKinlay. After the exertions of the Freshman year the class experienced a feeling of las- situde and the whole Sophomore year was a period of rest in which was gathered strength for the ac- tivity of the junior year. For the second term of this year Barry Dibble and Louise Ray were presi- dent and secretary of the class. Louis McKinlay was president and Arthur Davis secretary of the class for the first term of the junior year. The class now decided to give an entertain- ment that would be a pleasure to themselves and the school. After considering the time honored pay, they decided to give something novel, and chose a stere- opticon exhibition of Gibson's pictures, with a few of Phil lXTay's comic sketches thrown in just for fun. The entertainment gave a pleasant evening to those 58 THE SENIOR Axxrxu.. f if :fi ,f x , Mm il . W W 4,2 Sf t f .. D. 2? .' fi ' ff X ' I W i K 5 , Vi X, J K 75 P, i lllfl x ll 1 y .

After electing officers for the last term of the Jun- ior year, preparations for the junior--Senior recep- tion were in order. Committees were appointed, girls on the refreshments and boys enough on the decorating to mount rickety ladders and perform other dexterous feats. At the time of writing the Seniors enjoy the event in anticipation only. Though the juniors speak with all modtsty, the writer is convinced that the memories of the evening will equal our most sanguine hopes, and as to the delight ofthe occasion itself, it is inexpressihle. We are per- fectly sale in saying that the building was artistically decorated, the music good, and unless the girls change very much, they will certainly lie charming.

It is a well established custom to refer to the names of the Nineteen Hundreds with laughter and puns. Far be it, however, for one who assumes the duties ofhistorian to treat withlevity the title of the class that will graduate just in time to take control ofaffairs in the twentieth century. Let us consider it our solemn duty to chronicle the early history of this class with such respect that posterity may see that we recognized its importance. The class of1900, then, inaugurated its brilliant career as an organization by electing for president and secretary Dean Grihhen and Ruth McKinlay re- spectively. They apparently held their meeting for 60 THE SENIOR ANNVAL. practice only as they never accomplished anything except to select class colors of gold and brown. For the second term the class gave supreme au- thority to joseph Feely and imposed the duty of re- cording their deliberations upon Ada Fry. On perus- ing the accounts of the above young lady we find that the class regretted their decision on class colors, made in the rashness and ignorance of youth. They accordingly changed them to pale blue and white. During the first term of the Sophmore year the class had the pleasure of seeing Cline Fixott manipu- late the gavel and Esther Colter push the goose quill. The class has revived its custom of doing work, in the last term of the Sophomore year. They have adopted a motto Scientia est Potensf' They have again changed the class colors, this time choosing green and gold, probably as symbolic of ignorance and wealth. In this momentous term some genius hit on the brilliant and entirely novel idea of having a class pin, which they have accordingly got.

The history of the Freshmen is supposed to be an inexhaustible joke, forever laughable. The upper classinen, probably being convinced that they them- selves knoxv verylittle, are unable to understand how a Freshman can know less. Consequently when a personage who has haunted the school for one or more years is confronted with a diminutive figure 62 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. from which comes a voice saying: Please, what shall I do?l' he immediately takes hold of his sides and shakes with laughter. After acting in this extremely funny manner for some one or two months, the Freshmen did one of the most laughable things possible, they,-ha, ha,- formed a class organization, with a constitution and oliicers, too. How very amusing. That was all the class of 1901 accomplished dur- ing the first term. If they had done anything more, the other classes might have died from laughter. But with the next term they gave new cause for mirth. Nothing very strange they did either, merely adopted a class yell, a motto and class colors. A good yell, a good motto, and pretty colors too, for that matter, but from them, O, it was too funny. And that is all the class has done this year ex- cept to get some practice in parliamentary law, per- haps, and begin to catch on to the swing of the school and to get ready to help make it better next year. But it was funny of course, they were Fresh- men, you know. just why they will cease to be ob- jects of ridicule next fall we do not know.

The Boadicean Society is generally believed to be ofa secret and mysterious characterg and for that reason people have taken pains to find out about it. To those who are not inquisitive enough to ask, yet wish to be wise, some information may be welcome. The society is composed of the girls of the alter- nate classes. By a long established custom the girls at the end of their junior year initiated the Fresh- men girls. The girls of '99 were initiated under this order of things. It was thought best, however, to confine the society to the higher classes and so we held no regular meetings during the Sophomore year. As the work has been so interrupted we have accomplished little which will be of permanent value. Last spring we entertained the '97 Boads. in a way which they considered sumptuous but of course we did not think much of the performance. The Boadiceans intended to follow the usual cus- tom of giving a Christmas tree to the children in the 64- THE SEx1oR ANNUAL. Day Nursery, but as that was provided by some one else we furnished much needed dishes, spoons and forks. We entertained ourselves many times in a man- ner truly pleasing, a small portion of each entertain- ment being a spread. We have discarded our Fresh- man idea ofproviding rich cake and sour pickles and now hold advanced ideas on pure food for brain workers. Our latest achievement is the entertainment given for the Girls of '98, May 11th. A short pro- gramme was given in Assembly Hall and lunch was spread in Room 6. There was plenty ofcake and no Senior fgirlj was allowed to go home hungry. Next year, however, the work will be continued so that we all may feel at the end of our High School course that we have been benefited socially and in- tellectually OJ by the Society of the Boadiceans.

To carry out this purpose the society aimed not only to benefit its members by literary pursuits but further to help the school at large by giving support to the other institutionsin the school, The Debating Society and the WORLD.,i Throughout its existence these purposes have been realized and the institution though small, has proved itself a worthy one. As soon as school opened in September the Acad- emy began its work, and has since held regular meetings every two weeks. Its first work was to elect members to fill the places left vacant by the departure ofthe Class of'97. The list ofnominees was submitted by the teachers and eight places were soon filled. The next work was the adoption of a new con- stitution as the old one under which the Society was organized had expired October Hrst. The original constitution with a few changes was adopted. The changes however did not include a change in mem- bership and the number was left limited to twenty. The Academy was then ready to start out upon its regular work and at each meeting following a literary program was pursued. At the beginning ofthe year a new feature was added to the program whereby each member was required to answer the roll call with a quotation from the author whose name appeared on the pro- gram for that day. The general features of the pro- gram consisted of essays, recitations, select readings, debates and extemporaneous speaking. A course of systematic reading was taken up for a time but so many difficulties were encountered that it was THE SEN1oR Axxixxi.. 67 thought best not to continue it as a feature of the program. The Academy have helped the school paper by turning over to the board any essays which were of general interest to the school. They have aided the Debating Society by taking part in the debates and striving to stimulate more interest in the society at large. The Academy challenged the Debating Society to ajoint debate on the question, Resolved: That our coast defences should be strenghtened in preference to increasing the navy. This was not done with a purpose of arraying the Literary Academy against the Debating Society for they are a part ofit but to arouse more interest in the debates by creating some sort of competition. The Academy gave willing support to the Ath- letic Association and responded promptly when called upon to furnish a medal for Field Day. So much for the work which the Academy has done, but its history would be most incomplete were we to omit certain social pleasures which have marked its existence during the past year. Several informal luncheons were indulged in by the mem- bers and at such times a certain chafing dish, small tin cups decorated most gorgeously and cream puffs figured prominently. One of the social events which the members will always remember with much pleas- ure was an afternoon spent at Miss Pollock's home to which she had kindly invited all members of the Academy. She had spared no pains to make the afternoon an enjoyable one and her efforts were crowned with brilliant success. 68 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. YX'e sincerely hope that the work of the Academy will go on next year with renewed strength and we have every reason to believe that such will be the case. lt is with much regret that the members of the class of '98 leave this institution which has been both enjoyable and beneiicial to them and in leaving they extend their heartfelt wish which is Success to all the Literary Academy.

At the beginning ofthe year the society adopted a constitution, and since have been a recognized fac- tor in the school. During the first term meetings were held every two weeks. At each meeting lun- cheon was the first number on the program. Sand- wiches, pickles, cake and-candy, if the boys had not stolen it all-constituted the luncheon, after this the meeting was called to order and when the business meeting was over, the order ofthe day, provided for by acommittee, appointed forthat purpose, wastak- en up. The crowning event ofthe year, that is in the history of this society, was the party given by the Girls of'98 to the boys. It was given in the Cro- cus Hill Club House. All enjoyed the party and agreed that it was an all-round success. On june 15th, the colors of the girls of '98 were added to those already decorating the handle of the historic sauce pan and as they presented it to the girls of 'OO' the society of Senior girls stepped into the background, to be viewed as a thing of the past, and as a body said: Good bye to the school and to one another.

Tms SENIOR ANNUAL. 71 Zffk af., . : 9 f fm ' Z 2 ' o For many years our school lacked what it needed perhaps more than any other thing, a girls' athletic society. In 1896, two girls, realizing this, formed an organization which was called the Girls' Athletic So- ciety, or the G. A, S., Cnot the gas society we beg to sayj. This society intended to increase the interest of the girls in athletic sports, and to give them physical exercise required to supplement their mental activ- ity. The school gave them the use of the gym- nasium one day in the week, and with the aid of Pro- fessor Herman, a great deal was accomplished and the meetings made very pleasant and interesting. At the beginning of this year much interest was taken in the work, but with the approach ofspring, with its attendant feeling of lassitude, the interest flagged until the last meeting was attended by but live of the members. This, however, must not be taken as a sign oflack ofloyalty to athletic sports, but must be attributed, like many other things, to the weather. The sunshine and the mild air after the long winter possess a greater attraction for the feminine mind than the lYednesday exercises invoke. It is the earnest hope of all that the work will continue successfully next year. The need of gym- 72 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. nastic exercise, and its logical and natural place in any scheme of education, is coming to he realized more and more strongly, and we look forward with pleasure to the time when it shall he made a part of the curriculum of our school. But while waiting we need not neglect the work, for by voluntary organi- zations such as the G. A. S., we may by a practical demonstration of its value insure an earlier adop- tion ofa gymnastic course.

As the Athletic Association looks back at their record for the year ending june 17, 1898, we can truthfully say we have had greater success in every detail than our two predecessors. VVe played seven games of foot-ball last fall, five with colleges and two with high schools. Although we were defeated each time with one exception, that being the game with St. Thomas College which re- sulted in a tie score of six to six, we can look the world fairly in the face and say we have done well indeed, considering the teams we played and com- paring the record oflast year. -JE it 9? H- ff? 96 At the beginning of the base-ball season we formed a league with the Mechanic Arts High School of this city and the four Minneapolis High Schools. On account ofthe closing of the schools in the little side-track up the river, it was decided that the two St. Paul schools should play together, and the Min- neapolis schools among themselves and then the winners ofeach city should play for the champion- ship ofthe Twin Cities. XYe were victorious in our game with the llechanic Arts, and the South Side proved themselves masters of the Rlinneapolis brethren. A game was arranged to take place in St. Paul between these schools, but the South Side fail- ing to make their appearance, the game was declared forfeited to the Central of St. Paul. thereby giving us the championship of the Twin Cities. ii- it -?: +?

The greatest praise is due the committee:-Lee Warner, James Ladd, Dwight Edwards, Harvey Rogers and especially to the chairman, Ray Benton, whose un- tiring energy caused many people to declare it the finest Field-Day ever held under the auspices ofthe school. lt was this year held at Lexington Park, where there was every accommodation for the ath- letes and the spectators.

As we now leave the school we can look back and know that we have tried to do our duty and though in many cases we have failed, yet as '97 said before us, we leave the association in good stand- ing, free from debt and bearing a good name fbetter, we believej with which to continue its work in after years.

In the first term the society grappled the problem as to whether governmental ownership of railroads would be beneficial to the United States, and arrived at the conclusion that it would. Later on, two of the members convinced the judges that foot ball should not be abolished. Cin view of the team we had, our own opinion is that it should be in this school.j The chief event of the term was the annual de- clamatory contest January 21. In this hir.

Miss Arey among the girls won Hrst place as well as the hearts of her audience, while Miss Earhuff came second. The contest this year was rather more of an event than formerly, and the proceeds helped materially to improve the stage. The number of entries too, so great as to require a preliminary con- test, showed a rising interest in such matters among the pupils. In the second term the question which had been chosen for the debate with Duluth: that Cabinet Ministers should have seats and the right to speak in Congress, was debated in theschool, and everyone hoped that the result, in favor of the negative, fore- shadowed the result of the interscholastic. Alas, such is fate! ' Of course the interest in this term centered about the debate with Duluth. Arch. Vernon, Florence Ely and Walter Howell chose the negative of the question given above. The arrangements had been begun in the first term, but the amount of red tape required made it necessary to set the date as late as April 15. A large delegation went up from here to assist our debators in their struggle. When they ar- rived Duluth showed singular inhospitality in win- ning our debate, but in spite of this one unkindness gave us a royal good time. If any of the Du- luth people see this book we hereby heartily thank them for our entertainment in their city. The debate with Duluth showed several things that we needed to find out. It showed the superior- ity of two easily handled and compact debating so- cieties over the troublesome clumsy white elephant that we have. It showed the enormous value of com- THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 79 pulsory debating. In our school the pupils since our memory have had the chance of voluntary interest in debates and speaking. Only a few avail themselves of this chance and the system stands a failure. We wish the plan in vogue at Duluth could be introduced here and the pupils forced to take an interest in the debates. Then it showed the absolute necessity of hard and continuous drill for the debatersg the thorough threshing out of all the points the quest- ion embracesg and the resulting facility in impromptu speaking and refutation. After this foreign invasion tivo debaters showed Mr. Pope and his supporters that what was xvasn't right. Then the Literary Academy, for the sake of awakening an interest in debating, challenged the Debating Society to a debate on the question: Resolved, that the coast defences of the United States should be increased in preference to the navy. The Debating Society chose the negative of the qu-estion and on January 3, in the Assembly Hall, was defeated. We feel that '98 has carried on the work of the Debating Society in an able and energetic manner. 4 'I 7' V - ' 80 THE SEN1o1e ANNUAL. NVe have a right to feel proud of '98's supervision of the XVORLD. Mr. Vernon and Mr. Howell make a team that is hard to beat. This book is a sample of Mr. Vernon's work. Mr. Howell's work is well known to all of you too. If we could add anything to the praise these two have received we would, but it is beyond our ability. '98 gave the XVORLD what Was probably the most prosperous year in its history. The business manager turned over a much larger surplus at the end of the year than he received at the beginning. The circulation was exceptionally large, a fact which accounts for the amount and value of the advertis- ing. The improvement at the business end was equaled by that at the editorial, Never before was the WORLD so bright and interesting. The numerous sketches and half-tones added much to the beauty and value ofthe paper.

This is another institution that showed what '98 could do. The orchestra has been getting better and better every year and reached its culminating point under the control of '98, It was formed at the be- ginning of the year with Mr. McKenny as leader. Mr. McKenny s careful drilling and training brought the orchestra to a higher state of efliciency than it ever reached before. It was the feature most looked forward to at all the entertainments, but its leader had higher duties that called him away, and un- fortunately orchestra practice was discontinued before the end of the year. The Double Quartette. The last part of this term saw the reorganiza- tion ofthe double quartette. It was composed this year of entirely new members, but it made more of a hit than it ever did before. You could see a smile spread all over the school whenever it was reported that the quartette was going to sing. Their popu- larity was partly due to the fact that they sang many parodies on well known songs, applied to school affairs, but mainly due to their good voices.

We were all deeply moved by the destruction of the Maine and thc subsequent declaration of war, but the first event to bring the matter home to us was the order for the Third regiment, which had so long been stationed at Fort Snelling to leave. The regulars were to gather at Chickamauga. The day for the departure came, and with a pa- triotism that was heard as well as felt, the boys of the school and some of the girls, too, went to thc Fort to see them off. The ear was crowded, and and yells and choruses filled the air. As they marched from barrack to barrack, shouting and singing, all knew that there was a St. Paul High School and that it was well represented upon that occasion. Soon the yells ceased. There was a scramble for trophys: caps, leggings, and even coats were appro- priated without hesitation. The companies are formed and await the orders to march to the train. The delay is long but yells and a bouncing blanket help to pass the time quickly. Attention! The order to move is given. For the last time at Fort Snelling the band plays the Star Spangled Banner: the regiment marches down to thc train. There is no yelling or singing. The feeling is too deep for such expression, All is silence save the music and the tramp, tramp ofthe marchers. The troops are loaded. A whistle, a few puffs of smoke, a rumble of wheelsg the Third has gone. 90 THIE SENIOR A NNUAL. The Volunteers. The gates of the temple of Janus are open. The nation has called for 125,000 volunteers to carry her banner to victory, and her sons have responded. Minnesota's apportionment was three regiments, and her National Guard answered in a body. They were gathered at Camp Ramsey. It is un- necessary to mention the review as they marched to the camp, or the incidents of their camp lifeg the in- nuiuerable boxes of 'fudgef etc. Soon they, too, went to the front. The Thirteenth,composed largely of young men ofthe Twin -Cities, went to San Fran- ciscog the Twelfth and Fourteenth, to Chickamauga. Among those who went were not a few ofthe High School pupils and alumni. NVe give as com- plete a list as is possible at this time. YVe were grieved to see our class-mates and friends depart, and yet we are proud of those who considered it their duty to respond to this first call and our school will long cherish the honor they have conferred upon her. No doubt the authorities will pursue a liberal and patriotic policy and grant diplomas to the members of the Senior Class who enlisted. They have gone to battle in righteous cause. Conquer they must for their cause it isjust . To every volunteer we wish God-speed anal a safe return. Memorial Day. Memorial day posessed an unusual significance this year. Not only did it bring to mind the heroes of the 60'sg but we remembered those who had just gone from our midst. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 91 The parade was the feature of the day. The streets were crowded as the longprocession marched by. The third regiment band was not there. Its last strains had long since died away. No regulars marched. No militia-men kept step to the beat of the drum. The scholars of the city took an important part in the exercises ofthe day. As they passed, each car- rying the Stars and Stripes, as gray haired veteran and bright youth marched side by side, who did not feel more patriotic than before and as the exercises of the day proceeded and childish voices were raised in song, each felt that ourcountryis safe for her schools are training citizens for her. High School Cadets. Barry Dibble, Captain. Lee XVarner, lst. Lieutenant. LeRoy Squires, 21161. Lieutenant. The organization of a permanent military com- pany is well under way. Klany High Schools have cadet companies. Ours can easily support one. It will do much for the school and for the individ- ual menibers. It is only by such organizations that the public becomes acquainted with our schools. There is no reason why this should not become the crack company of the state. Of course little can be done this spring, but with the organization effect- ed, the work can 'be commenced next fall in earnest. Let every boy in the school join the company. Success is assured, for in the vocabulary of youth there is no such word as fail , 92 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. The Flag. While the volunteers were at Camp Ramsey a movement was started in the High School to pre- sent the Thirteenth Regiment with a state Hag. A subscription list was opened and met with a hearty reception, but before the flag could be obtained the Thirteenth was ordered to San Francisco. The Hag, however, will be purchased and will either be presented to one of the regiments raised un- der the second call, or will be hung in the Assembly Hall ofthe High School, a memorial of her sons who are engaged in the fray, and of this eventful year in our national history. ,Q x f X T f' we txfl. i V Those who remember the 'SQ Nw!

Now that hat this denoted the but were in doubt as our course is run and we have graduated their doubts are settled. Soon after our entrance to this school we were organized under the supervision of Mr. Smith. Even this early we showed a trai t of our genius and 96 Tms SENIOR ANNUAL. charming quality by choosing a temporary treas- urer as all other classes always have done and al- waysewilldo. ' In the course of our first year we se- lected our class colors, motto and other accessoriesg granted money on the slightest provocation to scheming oHicers of the A. A. or greedy VVORLD Oili- cials and were deluded into ticticious alliances with various upper classes against various other upper classes. In the Sophomore year we made a big spluge in the matter of the float.'l It is true we were beaten, but for Sophomores, really, we put up a fine iight. The ultimate result on our part was the gift to the school ofa beautiful silk flag, which has done duty since at all entertainments. Those were good old days when half the school turned out to the Debating Society meetings and there were fights to stir your blood. Once hir. De Cou came out from behind the stage clad in a mach- intosh and a Roman toga and did battle royal with the Seniors and Juniors in behalf of our Hoat, and gave them too an astonishing scare that they never got over. The election fights last term in the D. S. were big affairs but they were nothing to the way '95 did things up. For instance the time the boys and girls ofthe Senior class had their fight over the office of president, when over five hundred votes were cast and the air was thick with speeches and accusations and denials. Participation in these exciting events varied with sundry revisions of our constitution made up the sum of our lives until the second term of the junior year. Then the fact dawned upon us that we must giveareception to the Seniors and also the THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 97 fact that the treasury was extremely lightg two truths that always take each class by surprise. Here was a task worthy of our metal. XVhether we were Worthy ofit let '97 bear witness. hir. Roh- liins was president at that time, and it was largely owing to his excellent ideas on dishes and floor-Wax and ices and other matters of vital importance that the reception went off as it did. The holding ofit in the Assembly Hall and the attempted exclusion of outsiders were innovations. A pleasing innovation too was the short farce that opened the evening's en- tertainment. This was the first of our long series of dramatic triumphs culminating in Class Day. Con- trary to the rule the reception left us with a surplus instead ofa debt. To use some brief slang, it was a howling success. .wefflfmi ,'Y -QYRENXQGL Q.,-1 'X ':-f MW i , ,Q 3, ' tl-X l . ,' .ll l f tef- Q 'TV-'W2W2f My f f 7 ,, ,. yy ,V Ng '46 Waafalef' ff' 98 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 3 1 N 17' 51 ,Q 4 Fi sf rj X A , I , , I X .rg ,E g r ' V K R Senior Oiiicers. 1' U THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 99 Our Senior Year. FIRST SENIOR TERM President, George Brack. Secretary, Florence Ely. Vice President, Mason Case. Treasurer, Halstead Moody. Assistant Secretary, James Ladd. Sergeant at Arms, Walter Howell. Our first Senior term opened with another revis- ion ofthe constitution. After that, the most excit- ing things that happened were the attempts to ob- tain a quorum. Our artistic sensibilities were of- fended by our old pins so we had some changes made in the design that vastly improved its appear- ance without altering the general character. This seemed a stroke of diplomatic genius to all except those that had the old pins. The energies of the class were then devoted to the preparation ofthe class play, which was not giv- en till next term, and to the arrangements for the reception to the teachers which was held in january. To all appearances the teachers had a good time, and we know from experience that the pupils did. Here again Mr. Robbins showed his intimate ac- quaintance with dishes and cooking by concocting a savory bullion and incidentally cutting his finger in it, thereby adding greatly to the flavor. ' 100 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. SECOND SENIOR TERM. President, Herman johnson, Secretary, Eleanor Dickinson, Vice President, Halstead Moody, Treasurer, Mason Case, Assistant Secretary, Elsie MacGowan, Sergeant at Arms, Max Lando. This term was distinguished by the lack of the customary election iight, an advantage which was shown clear through the term by our class undertak- ings. Our first triumph was A'The Lady of Lyons presented on March 11. In describing this we must not omit the preliminary advertisement, itself an ex- cellent entertainment. In this fourteen Seniors lined up on the stage,recited a little piece laudatory of the play and then turned around showing on their backs one of the letters of The Lady of Lyons, after the manner of Sunday School entertainments Qby the way, llr. Brack suggested the idea, the connection is obviousj. As for the play itself, nothing better, we were told, had been given in the school by pupils. This is undoubtedly true. One thing it showed, that a play of literary value would be received in the school as well and better than the usual farce. It showed too the value of good, hard practice. Mrs. XYeirick dril- led the cast hard and faithfnlly and it was evident in the excellence of the final presentation. From a financial as well as an artistic point of view the play was pleasing to the class. On Arbor Day we gave the usual entertainment, diversified with patriotic demonstrations. Col.

Vocal and piano recitals folowed and the double quartette sang one of Mr. Howell's paraphrases, thi3 time on The Battle Cry of Freedom and applied to the war and to Cuba. At the end some of the audience may have had doubts as to whether it was an Arbor Day enter- tainment, but they enjoyed it nevertheless. After this public entertainment in the hall. The class adjourned by itself to the front yard where Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lando took turns in digging a hole in the fertile bed-rock, where they incarcerated an in- nocent young wood-bine. Then Mr. johnson spoke a funeral oration over the vine, and the class, with the rest of the school, went over to the Capitol to help the militia form and march. This was our last appearance before the farewell exercises of Class Day and Commencement. qf,1:-X XA M YW Q-W aff THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 103 The Foot of The Rainbow As soon as the excitement attendant on election of Senior oflicers had somewhat subsided, President johnson made known to the expectant class the names of those who were to compose the committee, whose sole aim was to arrange a Class Day pro- gram worthy of the famous Class of'98. lYalter Howell, whose fame as a humorist had extended even to the Zenith City, was made the rul- ing spirit of the committee, and Ray Benton, jean Gavin, Ernest XVright, Frieda Naumann, Louise XYhitney and George Braek were chosen as his as- sistants. The difheulties which confronted the committee in arranging a program ofsuch excellence as to rank at the head of all '98's achievements may be realized, when the other glorious successes of our class are considered, and after a few days of prudent expendi- ture ofmental power, the hazy outline of a plot for the play was formed. Further application resulted in the developement of the original plan into The Foot of the Rainbow, admired by all for its origin- ality and brilliancy. To those who witnessed the presentation of the play it will always remain indelibly stamped on their minds as the most gratifying exhibition ever viewed in the High School hall. A brief synopsis is here inserted for the enlightenment of those who were deprived of the pleasure of viewing the play. We feel that whatever we may say of this produc- tion, must of necessity be woefully lacking, for we are dealing with a lofty subject, and we beg the in- dulgence ofthe kind reader. 5 1 4 1 xx ,ffw -MM-.

Scattered over the stage in attitudes of weariness, appeared the members ofa committee engaged in decorating the hall for the approaching Class Day, while the necessary paraphernalia, ham- mers, tacks, scissors, glue, etc., were distributed pro- miscuously about the floor. The conversation, at all times lively and fascinating, turned upon the Klon- dike. An inquisitive Junior kid QHarvey Carry by thejudicious purchase ofa bag of cookies gained the information which was the absorbing topic among the Seniors. An old gentleman, Mr. Friend, had be- come interested in T98 by contact with some of its fair maids in a street car. A visit to the school in- creased the interest, and, in the language of Walter Howell, he decided to invest in '98's prospects. He oifered to the boys of the class a deed to a claim in Klondike if they would form a party and go. The junior was not fully satisfied with the information he had received, but his questions were all laid on the table and the scene closed with a tableau. 106 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. ACT I. SCENE TXVO. This scene is the Class Day given for the benefit of Mr. Friend. On the stage were seated the ofhcers, representatives of the class and also Mr. Friend. After a characteristic address by President johnson, the program was carried out. The Class History was written in four parts, a part describing each year of our High School life. Halstead Moody delivered. in a boyish way, an original and interesting philosophical record of our deeds as Freshie children. He was followed by Eva Haldeman, the Sophomore historian, whose work was written in a wholesome and fascinating style. Then Leigh Hirst related in a charming manner the events of the junior year, when we first began to realize our right to put on airs and issue commands and orders, and Ernest YVright with characteristic Senior dignity set forth the mighty actions per- formed by us in our last and greatest year. All of these histories were very well written and deserve the praise we so willingly accord them. The entire record of our successes and failures, during our pleas- ant four years together were for the first time given to the public. To Marjorie Rood was entrusted the task of writing the Class Poem. We offer no criticism but present it for the inspection and admiration of the interested reader. The selection of Class Orator was made by the class as a whole. Walter Howell was chosen for this part, but his forced and untimely departure from school made his resignation necessary, so Lorenzo DeCou, whose ringing voice has so often awakened the echoes in our Assembly Hall, wa: elected to write NS'-xx f X A EM ..,.. 1 1 1 J! , K 1 wi .wk Q 5 It 4 Nz .. if I V, , gg Q 1 sf . .Q 1, L X , ., :.,.g 5 , Vx Class of '98 flgvu x X I X 1 Q N x - .,., M .

XYe regret that we were unable to make selections from this enthusias Lic and stirring address, but we assure the reader that it was in no wise beneath the stand- ard of Lorenzo's other famous attempts. After the various presentations, which were made with bright and witty speeches, President johnson introduced Mr. Friend. ACT II. SCENE ONE. Boyds Room. Walt fRay Bentonj and 'Will QRoy Squiresj were seated and were talking about the chances of finding the claim Hrst. XYith a roar like Coxey's army a crowd of boys loaded down with clothing, utensils and other Hminers rigs rush- ed in. The Class yell was given with a vengeance and the dormant echoes of the hall resounded as Brickety, bracketyg bing, bang, bateg eighteen hun- dred and ninety eight, floated up among the rafters. The packing began and Jim, finding a roll of paper, inquired its use. Ed. with withering scorn replied: Aly son, that's my diploma, the concen- trated essence of the results of four long years of toil. Never was a prouder moment in my life than when they fished that out of the clothes basket and handed it to me last Thursday night. Jim: VVhat are you taking it to Klondike for? Ed: Going to pass it on the natives as a license to sell patent medicines. Got some stuff that'll cure the gold fever. This short extract shows the spiciness of the conversation throughout the play. At all times THE Slixlolz ANXVAL, 109 sharp and pointed, it maintained a good standard, and never descended to the mean or vulgar. ACT II, SCENE TVVO. Reception scene. This scene was a farewell given by the girls to the first party of the boys who left to seek the claim. It was probably one of the prettiest scenes ever presented in the old school. Fair ladies attired in their always beautiful and attractive HClass Day dresses made, with the noble looking boys, a grand view. After a touching speech, in which Roy Squires displayed his extraordinary power, the scene closed with an old fashioned minuet in which four fair maids and four brave boys particihated. This one part added no small amount to the great success of the whole. janet Fishbien, Cora Bohn, Emma Nel- son, Eleanor Dickinson, Edwin Frankel, Eugene XVarner, Herman johnson and Hugh Arey composed the set. During the dance the copies of the chart were dropped on the floor and carried away by a careless servant QHildaj. ACT II. SCENE THREE. Mornizzg after Reception. A party of sleepy girls entered the room and demanded from Nell fjean Gavinl the reason of their being called so early. Nell immediately informed them that the boys had left their charts, the only guides to the claim behind them. Then Nell proposed that the girls form a party and follow the boys with the chart. After a hasty consideration this was agreed to, and they went to get Mr. Friend's permission. As they left, Hilda A , X 110 THE SENIOR ANNUAL . ., VM, ,.. . Class of '9S.

Mrsjames fEthel Lilleyj was unable to find it, so the boys decided to go without it. Then the girls rushed in with Mr. Friend, soon followed by Kittie CLouise Vxlhitneyj and her Aunt Jane CSusy Durkeej, who was to be chaperone. All arrange- ments were made and preparations began.

It was agreed to work the claim jointly and the party joined in a two-step to music by one of the number. ACT IH SCENE Twc. In this scene the talent of the authors best dis- played itself. The unexpected happened and a series of surprises held the entire attention of the audience throughout the scene. The scenery was that ofa 112 ,IXHIC SENIOR AXXUAL. claim in the gold fields, a small miner's dugout being the principal feature. The climax ofthe play clustered around the leg- end ofchildhood that a pot of gold could be found at the foot ofthe rainbow. The party of girls and boys who met in theboys' shanty entered, reading their directions from the rainbow chart, and they quickly, by its aid, found their goal in the 'shak' on the stage. Kittie planted a staff, on which were the United States flag and the 'orange and black' and took pos- session ofthe spot i11 the name of the Class of '98. Some ofthe inquisitive boys, in exploring the hut came across a piece of plank covered with Mr. Friend's peculiar hieroglyphics. It told them to ezv plore the southeast corner ofthe hut and they would find an easy way of mining. Operations were soon commenced and a sack of nuggets was producedg the large nuggets were marked Y. G. and the small ones G. and F. The largest lumps were immediately called Mary YVoodward and Lee Kellogg by the ex- cited gold-seekers. Then Pat entered and told of the approach or another party ofboys. Immediately a surprise was plannedg the boys held a secret consultation and seemed overjoyed at the prospect. An old sack was brought and buried in the hut and the plank writing was replaced. Then all the party suoght hiding plces and awaited developments. Gid Parker then came on in haste and seeing the hut recognized it as the one described by Mr. Friend. They were overjoyed and began to dig. Soon a long sack was unearthed and they all eagerly crowded around. It was opened and a skeleton billed for THE Sxsxlou ANNUAL, 11 Class of '98, 114 THE SENIOR ANNUAL.

VVhile explanations were being made, Charley en- tered with Aunt jane and a reunion and classjolli- fication were planned. just as three cheers were being given for Mr. Friend, he appeared on the scene and is immediately asked to make a speech. After the curtain the president delivered his ad- dress and the entire Class sang the Class Song com- posed by Eleanor Dickinson. 95 96 M- 95 'X- 66 +G -E3 +3 it Great credit is due to the members of the cast for their admirable work.

THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 119 The Music Lovers. I R1isnA XAUIANN. Miss Naumann chose a poetic subject. The Music Lovers of her essay were the Hungarians with their beautiful women, chivalrous men and romantic characters. The Hungarian music is a perfect index to the eharacterof the Hungarian. There is noth- ing planned or premeditated about it: it is natural, impulsive, passionate: the feelings of the hour are expressed So also is the Hungarian simple, easy, melancholy or passionate and lurious just as the mood seizes him, a very child ofXature. The character of a nation can generally be de- termined by its music. The majestic, even calm of the English songs, so well illustrated in God Save the Queen, the intensely inspirating tone of the Star Spangled Banner, so indicative of the quick energetic nature of the Americans, the strong deep, rich melody of the German Die NVacht am Rhein, and then the combination of gay airy tone with deep melancholy and fierce warlike movement ofthe Hungarian Czardas, show hoxv the music ofa people portrays its character. In Freeclomfs Cause. ETHEL HALL, Miss Ethel Hall chose Lafayette as her subject and showed in her essay how he worked in free- dom's cause, at the time when America gained her independence. 120 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. The long struggle for right was a period of darkness and doubt, but every such time hasits light as well as its shadows, and every such war its tales of unselfish devotion and chivalry. When the report of the first gun fired at Lexing ton echoed throughout Europe, freighted with its message ofliberty, in no country did it so thrill the hearts of the people as in France. 'tThe story of the struggle forliberty found many earnest listeners-men who were willing to make the cause of freedom their own and to help in liberating one spot on earth from hated tyranny and oppres- sion. Foremost among these was the young noble- man the Marquis de Lafayette. She spoke of the circumstances which brought him to this country, and told ofhis bravecareer dur- ing the war of the Revolution, after the surrender of Cornwallis he bent every energy to gain from England the treaty of peace which this new nation had so well earned. Born amid the tottering ruins of an old empire Lafayette was the champion ofliberty on two con- tinents and in two centuries. She then closed with the quotation: 'IXfIay this immense temple of Freedom ever stand a lesson to oppressors, an example to the op- pressed and the sanctuary for the rights of man- kind. ' Naclian Liecl. MARION CHAPMAN. In this essay we were told the story of Nadia, the simple maid of Tasso, who before the music of THE SEN1oR ANNVAL. 121 the human voice was known, listened to the birds as they sung in the forests and wondering, questioned why the same gift was not for her. She learned the secret, but guarded it carefully. At length a spring came that bore with it the deadly plague. All lost hope save Nadia. Then she poured forth her voice in song and lifted to hope and cheer those about her. She perished, a victim of the plague, but she had aided others, and it is said that in the beautiful forest of the valley of Sigel her voice is heard as it rises in song. Her voice, not confined to that little valley, has spread over the whole world, bearing its sweet mes- sage to other hearts, inspiring them to better thoughts and deeds. The Success of American Diplomacy. GEORGE M. BRACK. HA century ofpeaceful victories, this is the com- plete record of our diplomatic service, a record to be proud of, attained as it has been, without a corps of trained diplomats such as those to whom other na- tions have entrusted their foreign affairs and with- out the aid ofa large army and navy to enforce its claims, Supported only byjustice and right we have succeeded in protecting and maintaining, before the world, the honor and dignity of our country. YYith this introduction Mr. Brack went on to tell of the high place we hold among the older nations to-day, and mentioned the success of Commodore Decatur's mission to the Barbary States, then he told of the difliculties besetting the diplomat and of l d F w v .

He showed the absolute necessity ofintegrity in dealing with fo- reign nations, exemplihed by Cushing's success in China, and Perry's in japan, where their honesty and sincerity won so many concessions for America, Then he spoke of the importance the diplomatic ser- vice has attained and closed with these words: Our nation with its political power and moral influence must be represented by men worthy to guard its honor, by men loyal to their country, in- terested in its welfare and proud of its integrity. Taking the motto, 'VVith malice towards none, with charity towards all,' the youngest of the great nations will lead the way onward and upward to- wards the right.' l' Harmony. ED1'rH DABNEY. Yet the heavenly chime, The mighty toiling offar off spheres Beating their pathway, never touched his ears. With these lines Miss Edith Dabney opened her essay. She brought forward the idea that harmony need not necessarily apply to music: that harmony is the agreement and concord between parts of wholes and betweens wholes themselves as they are parts of other wholes, and that in the life and things about us harmony, is found. She then spoke of the harmony in nature, in science, in art and architecture and finally in the life of man. In connection with the latter she said: Each man is one of the spheres 124 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. oflife and by his actions helps to make the grand symphony which is life's harmony. Not only is he a part of the great harmony but he is a harmony in himself. So the acts and aims of every man's life should be to make all his thoughts and deeds a true part of himself, to strike a true note. She then ended by saying that every man should be able, then to say at the end 'KI-Iark, I have dared and done, for my resting place is found the C major of this life, so, now I will try to sleep. Inventions. NIAX LANDo. Mr. Lando in his speech brought home vividly the great changes that inventions have wrought in our manner of living since the first of the century. He supposed a man of a hundred years ago to have been brought back to the earth, where he saw with .astonishment all the conveniences that we accept as a part of our regular life. The electric cars, the gas stove, kindled by a match, the phonograph, the electric light and the X-ray, successively excited his astonishment. M1'. Lando dwelt particularly on the late invention of the political machine, and the new force used to propel it-- wind, mere wind. His choice of English was excellent and a dry humor in various places enlivened his speech. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 125 In The Vanguard. F1,oRENcE Vicroxzla ELY. Miss Ely's subject was the effort of Savonarola to obtain freedom for his native city of Florence. She told of the festival day, how while the people were rejoicing in apparent security Savonarola saw the despotism under which the city was being crushed. Then to escape the corruption of the world he entered a monastery, but found that it extended even there. Yet he was not discouraged. His wrath and sor- row only blazed higher and l1is determinition to do all in his power to correct their wrongs was strengthened. Then he went again to Florence and preached to the people who flocked in crowds to hear him. He attacked the state and the church, and stirred up the tear and wrath ofthe despotic De 1XfIedici. For a long time his efforts had no effect. Then when the French threatened the city he at once gained the control and led the people safely through their troubles. For sometime the people had their city in their own hands. Then the tyranny of the Medici was restored and Savonarola was con- demned to death. He met his death like a hero and a saint and so passed away one of the martyrs to the great cause of Liberty. Savonarola died unaware that in America the seeds of Liberty were to develop into the glorious flower of Freedom. His work had not been in vain. He rushed into the field and 'foremost fighting fell' but others followedjftook up the sword and con- s 5 in s r w Q , 5 5 L.- ,, A -V V Mme H-. ', A,1g.,.,.4.., W-, 4 .-,5 Class of '98. THE Slzxioiz .-XNNVAL. 127 tinued the battle. As the weapons which persecute those who strive to point out new principles to mankind are powerless to harm the principle itself, so that of Liberty remains, a clear, bright flame shining in the night of despotism, sometimes hidden but never extinguished. The battle in which Savo- narola so nobly fought, in which so many heroes have fought and died, has not ended, nor will it, but will continue until some clearsounding hell shall ring out upon the peaceful air, and 'Proclaim Liberty throughout all the world, unto all the inhabitants thereof. The Unknown Hero. ARCH. H. Yiauxox. Mr. Vernon opened thus: From earliest youth we have been taught to honor and revere the great names of history. Hero- worship has become a part of human nature. But we should not overlook the greater hero, without whom history would be but a myth, and civilization but a dream. The list of great men is the index to the book of history: the pages are made up of the deeds and aehievments ot' the unknown heroes. He spoke of the glory and power of Rome and then: She has fallen. Great leaders were not wanting but her true hero, the Roman soldier, had passed away. He showed that the revival of learning was not due to the great scholars of the Middle Ages, but to -1d 128 ,PHIE SENIOR ANNUAL. the unknown heroes, the monks, who toiled till they died over their manuscripts. He showed that it was not the great leaders who gained for England the place she now holds, but it was the unknown soldier who followed her leaders. It was the unknown sailor who manned her ships. To these, her unknown heroes, England owes her greatness. And the same in America. It was the American soldier who did his duty, who marched barefoot through the winter's snow, or sickened in a southern clime. It was: 'The nameless dead, the men Who perished in fever swamp and fen, The slowly starved of the prison pen? 'l He spoke of Memorial Day, a greater monument to the private soldier, than the lordly tombs to the generals and leaders. He mentioned the heroism of ofthe men murdered on the lVlaine. Then: The unknown hero is not found alone in the in the battles of the nations. There were heroes in the early 60's, who never saw the Held of battle, who remained at the desk and plow, who toiled to sup- port the army at the front. They bore the greater burden, and without them the war had surely failed. Their's no glory. Thcir's no sound of praise. But they were heroes at their posts, for the 'hewers of wood and the drawers of water' must still toil' on. He closed thus: Great questions are before us and they will be decided not by the great and wise, but by the daily life and toil of our people, by the greatest foreeofhistory, the unknown heroism of the unknown hero. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 129 Valedictory. NIARY LYDIA VVOODXYARD. Miss Mary lrVoodward chose as her subject edu- cation. She considered the ideal of all education the 'Kdevelopment in the child of the three-fold capacity, to meet the haps of life without hurt and to dis- charge its duties with successg to enter the Valley of the Shadow a stronger, nobler being than when he Hrst come forth from the Great Unknown, and to leave in this tfair Held of folk, some seed of his plant- ting-be it of thought, work or act-which shall make it richer for the work of all who follow, and the true meaning of education, the gathering up of all the nation's forces and the sweeping of them forward in the irresistible march of human progress toward the attainment of those ideals which will always in- spire and lead on the human race. To the citizens of Saint Paul, represented by the Board of School Inspectors, she extended the heart- felt thanks ofthe class for the benefit received in the public schools, She then addressed the principal and teachers, to whom she said, a greater debt ofgratitude was due, as they had aided the growth of mental fibre and the strengthening ofthe latent powers within us. But, she said, it is not the knowledge obtained by rule and precept that will most strongly induence our after life. The motives to honor and to virtue have been stimulated in us by the truths which come only from the virtuous and honorable. It is for these that we, the class of '98 are most truly grateful, and as to-night we pass from your instructions we hope that these principles may be the dominant powers l 130 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. of our life. To her class mates she then spoke, and ending by saying: As a class we are no moreg as a body we will never again meet as we have during our High School days. The time for parting must come, as indeed it has. We might say, as we go forth, that sad word Farewell, or the more pathet- ic word Good-bye. But let us rather as we clasp hands with a hearty good will, voice the true Ameri- can spirit: Here's a sigh for those who love us, And a smile for those who hate, And whatever skies above us, Here's a heart for every fate. it 'E' qi -a,v'f N0 X4 J! -1 , Millar 'S iss, y f f ', fl!! ll ' ' 1 , r' , M X, X1 xl t , r V I THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 133 Voices of the Past.

That the best of all singers we've ever seen yet, in the school or outside, is the double quartette. That this is the best ANNUAL ever published. That the literary acquirments of the Literary Academy are surpassed by its digestive abilities. That it is very improper for a Freshman girl to try to flirt with a Senior boy-unless she is pretty. Nos populos esse quod non dubitandum. Et no- bis necesse hunc orbem regnandum. That Marjorie Rood, although only a stripling, in writing a poem 's a rival of Kipling. That this is proved by the two poems in this volume. That it was a good thing for the school to win its first great athletic victory while '98 ran the As- sociation. - That St. Paul ought to have had the decision in the Duluth debate. ' That Ethel Hall is too old altogether to have the mumps. That of all tribulations fforever accurst, Com- mencement is surely and certainly worst. That Max Lando's vocal abilities would make him a fine orator-but for certain reasons. That our generosity in selling this book for Fifty Cents is unequaled in the history of charity, finance or literature. That Bryan Dorr has nimble heels and also has a set of wheels. That Marjorie Rood is not as young as would seem to be shown by the fact that she had scarlet fever. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 135 That Greek is the 'tdickens and Latin is worse, that French is a terror, and German's acurse. That twenty minutes is just the right length for a period. A That twenty-five minutes is 'ust the right length for an intermission. That everyone should remember that the Span- ish war and this ANNUAL happened in the same year. That those in charge of the Peoples church might shoxv a little of the Christian spirit, which we sup- pose they are trying to propogate, by letting the graduating classes hold their last public exercises in the church for the bare cost. That our thanks are due Mr. Johnson for the good advice he has given to the authors of this An- nual. That our thanks are also due to him for kindly allowing us to use his name for many well-meant jokes. That our thanks arc also due to him for all the help that he has given us, at great trouble to himself.

This is where the Jealousjunior conspires to gain control of the school. Nathan The Wise. IZKTARLIORIE Roonj Sinking was the sun,- On the summit ofthe Mount of Olives Stood the king, the Richard Couer de Leon- Long hc stood but gazed not on the Golden City: With his mantle shut otl' from his View for ever That for which the weary leagues were traveled- Turned him from the sight that he had longed for- Turned him to the West. Quiet reigned o'er all, In the palace ofthe mighty Sultan Naught was heard to break the drowsy silence Save the softly tinkling waters of the fountain As they gurgled forth and sought again tl1e basin. In a room which opened to a garden Lay one on a divan soft and cushioned: Saladin who slept. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. hlotionless was he, Safe indeed he was 'gainst interruption, For a stalwart slave there stood beside him- One who ever wakeful was, and ever watchful- XVith his ebon stature outlined 'gainst the shadows, And for ease of him there sleeping, waved he Back and forth a fan ofsoftest feathers, And the darkness fell. Prone lay the Sultan, Tall but strong and lithc he was in figure And his swarthy face with clear cut features Showed in every lineament, force and power: Also he had learned much from the eastern sages, lYisdom unknown to the western races, Wisdom that should later come to them too From the golden East. Dreams had Saladin, And he dreamt of' battles and of'triumphs, And of deaths and fruitless expeditions, Ofithe brave and dauntless ofthe western soldiers, Who had thought to overcome the always faithful XVorshippers ofAllah and his Prophet,- Ofall these things and many more dreamt he- Then he awakened. Softly laughed he then, And rising to his feet he clapped his hands, And at the sound there entered slaves with lights. K Once more the Sultan laughed: ' My court, oh slaves, Also the sage, Nathan the Wise-a dream I've had. At his command they vanished and anon Appeared the court with Nathan in their midst, And bowed before him. Then spake Saladin, 'tStand forth, oh wise man, with your wealth oflore, And hear the riddle I propound to you, A riddle not unworthy e'cn of such as I, A riddle that presented was in dreams to me. Your wisdom you will need to answer it, For it was sent by Allah to the earth. Then all drew nearer. 137 138 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. So spake he iurther: Which ofthe three beliels, oh Saladin, Jud'ism, Christianity, or that Of Allah and his Prophet wise, upon the earth Greatest is deemed by all its many habitants? As I lay in sleep profound and quiet Came one unto me who this question asked, Canst thou it answer? All then were silent, But they turned and cast their eager glances Upon the wise man as he stood in thought, For they knew that he himselfprofessed jud'ism, That the Sultan represented most high Allah, And that he who just oflate had home turned Was a soldier ofthe cross he worshipped, And much they wondered. He heeded them not, And as he stood the center ofthe throng, 'Mid brilliant colors, in the gleam oflights, With a hoar white beard and long white flowing garments, Indeed he seemed Knowledge, in its own wise person, 'Twas but a short time that he thoughtful was. Then turning to the Sultan said he thus: A story tell I. Once there lived a king, And by some unknown means he was possessed Ofa ring of such a wonderous power That he who owned it never could unpleasing be Within the sight of any person of the earth. Upon his death the king bequeathed the ring Unto a son, more dear than all the rest. Who took it gladly. i'Many years passed by, And each of all the owners of the ring Bestowed it on their death upon a son, At length there was a king who could not choose between The three sons that he dearly loved and equally, So that the many goldsniiths of the land Together called, and then three rings were made Each like the other. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. These he gave his sons, And after his death when they discovered That each ofthem possessed a magic ring, Then there arose disputes and long discussions grave, As to the one to whom the real ring given was, At last they all agreed to leave it to Thejudgment ofa wise man ofthe court, VYho then was summoned: He heard their story, And when he all the rings examined had, He laughed and said: 'None of you have the rings, Your father lost the true one and instead had made These three which he bestowed upon you all alike,' And so, oh mighty Sultan, say I too, None of these three beliefs is deemed the true Among the thoughtful. And so he further said: But when the three sons ceased their quarreling, And tried to he beloved for their own worth Then was perhaps the true ring of their father found, And so forsooth is it with all the three belieis. When all admit that they are fallihle And all admit that good is in the rest- Ife'er that time comes. t'And it surely will- Then shall there raise the true religion, And all upon the earth shall make it theirs, For it shall be composed of all that best is judged Of all helicts existing at that future time: And so trom all that are unworthy deemed Shall there arise a true and perfect whole. Then all were silent. 0' 139 140 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. This is where our boys train to win Held days. What The Senior Annual Committee Don't Know.

THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 143 iw This is the way the Boadicean spread looked, before- The Mishap of a Senior Boy. He was a sportive senior boy, A playing all the day. At recess and in Latin class Right fresh he was and gay. But when his month's report came in, He saw with dire despair That in his Virgil he had got A measly little fair, To remedy this state of things, Without more hesitation, He went to a book-store and bought A literal translation. He took his pony home with him, And hid it 'neath his bed, For fear his folks would fmd it, And he didn't want it read. But when he went to bed that night, And fell into a sleep, LJ 14-4 THE SENIOR ANNUAL. He dreamed that out from 'neath the bed The pony wild did leap. He dreamed that in the meanwhile it Had grown into a horse, Gigantic as an elephant, And of prodigious force. He dreamed it had grown a tail And mane of spondaic hair, And legs and head. and that for ears Two terchers it did wear. Influence ofeyes the beast had two Elisions in its nose And on its feet had dactles stuck To serve for English toes. He dreamed that on its back there rode A Latin teacher fierce, With Latin verbs upon his feet His horse's flanks to pierce. He dreamed that hc himselfinto A race-track long had changed, And up and down thc race-track's length That awful nihgt-mare ranged. It trotted over him and then It galloped back and pranced, Kicked up its heels and bucked and reared Stood on its head and danced. And every time it lit on him, Those dactyls stuck right in: And every time it shook its tail Those spondees lashed his skin. And ever shone those optical Elisions in its nose: And ever its iierce rider kept A kicking with his toes. Until at last the boy in pain Let out an awful yell. At which alarm the horse and man Both galloped offpell-mell. THE SENIOR ANNUAL. And when the dreadful horse was gone, The wild illusions broke: The race-track changed to boy again: The boy at once awoke. And then he lay and shivered there, And pinched himself all night, In dread that he might sleep again And have another fright. Now as he lay and shook and feared, By all the gods above, He swore that whe11 he rose he'd throw The pony in the stove. Then with this firm resolve in mind, He rose at early dawn, But when he crawled heneath the bed To get it-it was gone. Oh never after laughed that boy, And never alter sinned, And never after dared to play. And never even grinned. And though he studied all the time, From early morn till night, Yet never could he rid his mind Of that most horrid sight. Of the Fiery equine galloping Along himself, a track, Of the dactyls on its hoofsg and of The teacher on its back. just like a ghost it haunted him, And left him ne'er in peace, And at the sweet age ofeighteen lt caused his sad decease. 14-5 1 l L 146 THE SENIOR ANNVAL.

Here you have a modern Hector . Here's your god-like Hercules. To him Samson's hut a spectre. He can beat Aeacides. Ajax loses all his glory. Huge Goliath fades away. All the giants known to story, Thor, Mars, Atlas, cannot stay, Cannot stand before the victor. To his place not one aspires. Squires, the mighty blow inflictor, Roy V. S,xNoow CoRm-:'r'r SQIYIRES. All the honey-words of Nestor, I3ryan's hest Horatio, All the eloquence of Webster, All the gems from Cicero, All the polished, strong orations Of the great Demosthenes, l3urke's and Clay's hest deelamations- Vernon's speaking heats all these.
