A.ci Summum. Maple Leaves By Class of ’03. NORTH MANCHESTER. THE CLASS OF NAUGH- THREE. CORYN ». WRIGHT. It is a gicuiouii honor that I have the pleasure of introducing to you this distinguished class of “Naughty Three,” and I am not dreaming when I say distinguished, as any of our former teachers will testify. Or if you still doubt, our program this evening will surely convince you of our ability. In looking back on the early history of our class I am canglit by the thought how quickly our childhood days have fled! Notwithstanding their fleetness the mist of twelve years has dimmed many a picture that memory would .wish -q recall. The mst bcfcnive . scatter as I j« i.eh a glimpse ol .de children—barefooted laddies in knee breeches and lassies in sunbonnets and checked pinafores. At this stage, our history is that common to all children work and play, boasts of what we would do when we were big and quarrels settled before the teacher’s tribunal. It is not until eight years have passed that I behold a vivid picture. Then I see thirty pupils proud ofnaving completed the common branches. To give you the complete history of our present membership, would require fourteen volumes and might prove a tedious pleasure, tonight. However I would have you note the foreigners Asher Raymond Cottrell who was born near Lafayette, and A. F. Hunt, who in his autobiography writes, “I am sure that the fine city of Rock Island, Illinois was overglad to have been the place of my birth which INDIANA, JUNE, 1903. occurred December 1, lssti ' But at an earl} age, A. F., ak many a “sucker” has done, sought the advantage of an education in North LlanciiesLcr. The rest »f i.- were born in this little city or its suburbs not earlier than the civil nor later than the Spanish Nmerican war. Paul Werner, the class poet, was bom blind. An operation performed on his eyes when he waft three months old pjoved partially successful, but during his earl}- school days he was compelled to study by means of a chart. However upon one occasion Paul’s eyesight proved remarkable when he read a composition written with invisible ink upon a blank page. The teacher made only one correction, bui for the life of him, could not find it. The year eigu teen hundred and ninety- line saw thirty full fledged ragmen eager to larheh upon the high school course. “Thtey-' p a cert set of youngsters,” Aunt Samantha migqq have said. And that first day! do you remember, dqass mates? It was a trying ordeal to pass to the recitv -on room and be gazed upon by the dignified seniors, td'oe stared at by the wise juniors, and to be guyed ” by the cute “sophies” just as if they had never been ireshmen. Our spirits ran high for a short time until we were about to organize, Then our hopes were dampened by one of Superintendent Hippen-steel's “common sense” talks in which he said that class yells were nonsense and colors were dan gerous. Fie! We did not believe that but we were not in a position to demonstrate our proposition. As Sophomores we numbered twenty. 1 his year
