VII In order to insure the most satisfactory results in cooking, it is abso-lutely necessary to have even and well-regulated fires, which, with inferior grades of coal, is impossible. To avoid any trouble in this respect, use the Across creek lehigh coal, which is mined in the heart of the Lehigh region, and great care is used .in its preparation. It is remarkable for its purity, freedom from clinkers ? and small percentage of ash, and its density and great heating power especially commend it for domestic purposes. As inquiries are frequently made regarding the different grades of Anthracite Coal and their respective qualities, we make the following quotation from Johnson’s Encyclopedia: “The coal of the Lehigh basin is most baked and contains the least amount of volatile matter, 3 to 7 per cent.; the Scranton coal from 9 to 12 per cent.; the semi-bituminous coal of Blossburg and Broad Top from 17 to 25 per cent.; the bituminous coal of West Pennsylvania from 3 to 50 per cent. This coal is furnished in all territory tributary to the head of Lake Superior, exclusively by the PIONEER FUEL CO. DIRECTORS: R. B. Langdon, Minneapolis, Minn. John De Laittre, Minneapolis, Minn.

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. Hie jnississippl River “Scenic Line.” GOING SOUTH. This line is within view of the Mississippi, on the eastern side of the stream. £ For the first ten miles we pass a succession of pretty suburban villiages, made possible by a sendee of eleven trains a day each way. Twenty-four miles from St. Paul we reach placid and beautiful Lake St. Croix, between Minnesota and the “Badger State.” We stop at Prescott, whose pretty houses look down on the mirror-like St. Croix to the north, and the powerful flood of the Mississippi on the west. Another thirty miles of the rumble of the wheels, passing the stations of Diamond Bluff, Hager and Bay City, and we rush suddenly upon the broad expanse of Lake Pepin, and the pretty village of Maiden Rock, half hidden in a deep glen. Four miles south we round the lofty height of “Maiden Rock ' whose romantic legend is so familiar, and soon reach Stockholm, where the general government has constructed a breakwater for the protection of boats in storms. The next halt is at the village of Pepin, where is the prettiest beach on the lake. Rushing through the dense woods, we pause briefly at Alma, the county seat of Buffalo county, a prosperous and well-built town. Flying through a well-tilled prairie, we reacli Fountain City, a town of some 1,200 people,doing a considerable business. Here, as at Alma, the people sing “Die Wacht am Rhein,” and know very well what “gemullichkeit” is—for they are genuine German villages, and seldom is any other language heard in their streets. Ten miles further we reach Winona, the business metropolis of Southern Minnesota. Nine miles from Winona we pass the singular formation called “Trempealeau Mountain”—“la montaignequi trempe a l’eau—the mountain set in the water.” A mile below are the remains of a French fort, and numerous Indian mounds, from which have been taken many curious implements of war used by the aborigines. La Crosse is the second city of Wisconsin, having a great number of large manufacturing and business interests. In the northern part of the city, at Grand Crossing, are the extensive shops and round houses of “The Burlington,” and a fine club-house, erected for the use of employes. Leaving La Crosse, the first sta- tion of size is Genoa, so called from an Italian colony, which, in some way, wandered here many years ago and settled permanently. The next village bears the high-sounding name of Victory, because here, at the mouth of Bad Axe River, in August, 1832, the once-famous ‘‘Black Hawk War” (in which President Lincoln was a captain) ended with a battle, in which the forces of the celebrated Black Hawk, chief of the Sacs and Foxes, were nearly annihilated. De Soto, a village of 400 people, was a New England settlement in the West, and is most romantically situated, some of the finest views on the river being visible from the surrounding bluffs. An hour more takes us to Prairie du Chien, one of the two oldest settlements in the State of Wisconsin, the other being Green Bay. During the war of 1S12, the British troops, assisted by Indian allies, captured a United States fort, and held it till the peace. In 1829-30, Col. Zachary Taylor, old “Rough and Ready,’' was stationed here, and built Fort Crawford. Here Jefferson Davis served as a lieutenant of Regulars. Taylor remained here till 1836, when he went to Florida, on his w'ay to the battle-tieldsof Mexico and the Presidency. Next we reach Cassville, a neat village of a thousand people, and more than fifty years old. Close by the track is the Dennison House, erected in the ’30s, when the first territorial o UNt Of BURLINGTON AOUTt TO 6T. RAUL ANO MINNEAPOLIS leglSlatU Of Wisconsin met here, and Cassville had hopes of becoming the capital. Thirty miles through bottom lands, and with a swing and rush we round the point of a huge bluff, and pull up at Dubuque, the commercial metropolis of Northeastern Iowa. Fourteen miles below Dubuque a branch four miles long connects the main line with the city of Galena, once the headquarters for the steamboat trade, and the main seat of lead mining industry. Here the train leaves the Father of Waters, which it has now followed side by side for 300 miles, and turns eastward through the beautiful prairies of Illinois for Chicago. Day Express leaves the Union Depot at 7:10a.m., Night express “Vestibule Limited at 6:40 p. in.; 13J hours to Chicago, 22 hours to St. Louis. For information apply to J. F.

T LAST, after much work and many discouragements, we have finished tlie second number of the Annual. We certainly realize its faults, but cannot help feeling glad that our work is done. If our readers knew all we had planned to put within the covers of this Annual, they might perhaps rejoice more in what we have omitted than in what we have written. We have endeavored to follow the maxim: “Variety is the spice of life,” and have given you the chance to weep at our jokes as well as laugh at our vanity. One of the objects in publishing this Annual is to give the people of Minneapolis a better idea of the Class of ’91, and another is that the members of the class may have something which will recall the happy days spent together in the High School. If this book shall ever help you to while away a dull hour, or bring back to memory the days when you were scholars at school, and put bent pins in the teacher’s chair, or mice in the desk of the timid girl, then we shall be satisfied, and forget the tiresome days and nights spent in writing it. And last, but not least, we leave behind us our best wishes for the growth and prosperity of the Central High School. -3 mmm Calendar. First Term begins September 1, ’90.

BRADLEY, Superintendent of the Public Schools r of Minneapolis, is descended from one of the oldest families in New England and his ancestors figured prominently in the early history of the country. He was bom at Lee, Massachusetts, and graduated from William’s college in 18(53, receiving one of the class honors. Immediately upon graduation he became principal of the Pittsfield (Mass.) high school, serving that institution with such success that in two years he was elected Vice-President of the Massachusetts Teachers’ Association and editor of the Massachusetts Teacher. While he remained iu that-state he was prominently connected with educational interests. In 1808 Professor Bradley w'as called to Albany, New York, where he remained until 1880 as principal of the high school and academy. Under him the high school became one of the best and strongest institutions of the kind in the state of New York. Although giving constant attention to the school under his charge, Professor Bradley identified himself with other institutions. He always retained an interest in his Alma Mater and was chairman of the board of visitors of Williams college and is still one of its trustees. He is also a trustee of Carleton college and has done much to promote collegiate and university education in this state. In 1878 he was appointed commissioner to the Paris exposition by Governor Robinson, and made a valuable and exhaustive report, which was presented to the legislature in 1879, and an extra edition ordered printed. In the following year he received the degree Ph. I), from the regents of the state university, lie was curator of the Young Men’s Association from 1877 to 1884, and has always been deeply interested in its welfare. Professor Bradley was also instrumental in securing important legislation for the benefit of Secondary Education in New York State and the reorganization of the work of the High Schools of the State in such a way as greatly to promote their efficiency. He has during his career contributed extensively to the educational journals of the country and has written a large number of valuable treatises upon educational topics. He was elected superintendent of the public schools here iu 1880 and has greatly promoted their efficiency by his vigilance and untiring industry. His work here is fully appreciated aud he is held iu high esteem by the teachers, parents aud pupils alike. —8- John §. Gr°rr t ie- fOIIN S. CROMBIE, Principal of the Minneapolis Central High School, is of New England parentage, his ancestors having settled at a very early day in what is now the State of New Hampshire. Ills father was a native of Vermont, but in 1842 went to Michigan and settled at Pontiac. Here on June 19th, 1854, the subject of this sketch was born and here he passed his boyhood. The first Branch High School to the University of Michigan was established in Pontiac in 1837, and the town has ever since been noted for the high grade of its public schools. After a thorough course in these schools Mr. Crombie was graduated from the High School at the age of nineteen and in the same year entered the University of Michigan. From this institution he was graduated with honors, in the Classical Course, in Juue, 1877. At the opening of the school year in September following his graduation, he began his teaching as principal of the High School at Coldwater, Michigan, and at the close of the year he was called to the superiutendency of the schools of that city. This position he held for three years. He was then offered aud accepted the superintendency of the schools at Big Rapids, Michigan, remaining four years in that city, when he was called to his present position in Minneapolis. Mr. Crombie stood very high in the ranks of the teachers of Michigan, and his departure from that held of work was universally regretted. But what was one state’s loss was another’s gain and Minneapolis was truly fortunate in gaining, as principal of her High School, a man of Mr. Crombie’s standing and ability. The steady growth of the institution under his management, is attested by the fact that the number of teachers and pupils has nearly doubled, numbering at the present time, thirty-two teachers and over eight hundred pupils; while the graduating classes have increased from fifteen, the class of four years ago, to one hundred and seven, the graduating class of 1890, by whom, as by all, Mr. Crombie is held in honor and esteem. —9- y.V .y rv vf;v:v•:v;v;v : : ?s1vv; y ';v; ';v;v; v'V ’jv,? v v'7' 'Vvs v,-'VVx,' V'V v'V'V'V'V' v v'V v v; V'■’s v; - . v,?vjv; • . Four Years at the School. fOUR years of study, in anticipation how long, in retrospect bow short. When we entered the High School we hardly expected to live long enough to be Seniors, yet now we are addressed as such and still retain our youth. Take heart Freshmen, you too will be saluted by that proud title before your hair turns grey, if you only persevere. When we entered the High School we were handed over to the tender mercies of Mrs. Baiers, who had a heart, but we did not discover it for sometime. Under her instruction we learned to say mensa, mens®, mens®, men-8am, until when we left we were not exactly able to converse in Latin, but could say “in the woods,” which, if memory serves us rightly, is “in silvis.” We have all been dragged through mathematics and now, at the end of the fourth year, we can look back with pleasure upon studies completed. We have seen an important change take place in the external and internal appearance of the High School building; we have witnessed the addition of many teachers to our corps of instructors; we have seen three goodly classes leave these rooms and as many enter; and now we shall soon be seen no more and all that we can leave behind us are recollections Who would not wish to leave pleasing ones, yet it is now almost out of our power to alter these. Again, Oh! Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors, think well what kind of impressions you wish to leave, and act accordingly. Lay the foundations of your college courses well, do this by getting each day’s lessons for that day; there never was a greater mistake made than shirking. Perhaps you need a little stimulation, if so, think of the prizes; you may not be brilliant, yet good honest work all along does count, for if you do not get a prize you have made a good beginning upon your education. And now, farewell, we are content to let our name of Senior descend to the class of ’92. —10— I oard of Education. M EM BEKS. ROBERT PRATT, M. FALK GJERTSEN, A. F. ANKENY, JOHN NORTON, LUTII.

One day, all in due season, this talented ’91 began to think of the matter of so vital importance, her representative colors. There being necessarily involved the most thoughtful and weighty consideration, a month or more had passed before a linal decision was reached. During all this time the class had been continually debating with herself on the merits and demerits, now of this combination and now of that; but at length she selected—from what a confusion of colors placed on the blackboard for her daily inspection!—the simple, yet suggestive maize and blue. Suggestive of many things. For instance, there is brought before our mind's eye an autumn scene in the country, a spot “where nature has its play.” Around us are the fields of golden maize shut in by woods, just beginning to put on their gorgeous robes of scarlet, yellow and brown; above all the bright clear blue of heaven. Another picture, maize brings to our imaginations,—a well-spread table groaning under its burden of all sorts of delicious and tempting viands. And so on, innumerable are the suggestions. ’91 has chosen a combination of colors, which is not alone pretty to the eye, but one which conveys a meaning to all who see it; and by this choice she has shown one of her chief characteristics—that of not merely glancing at the outside of things, but looking far beneath the surface. 20— I .'.■, _ '.S, „ r.S,X '.S,X ■-A . , fA.-A. .V A •V.V-V ’91’s Glass Officers.

Many will be the pleasant recollections, that will come to us. when in future years, we shall look back to the time during which we were students in the Minneapolis High School, and to most of us, some of the most pleasant remembrances will be those which cluster around the meetings of the Philomathean Society. After a year’s training in the Amplictyon Society, the class of ’91 entered upon its work in the Senior Society with redoubled zeal and enthusiasm, proud that it now bore the euphoneous name of Philomatheans, tilled with great hopes of success, and determined, if possible, to out-do every preceding class. How well these determinations have been carried out by us—how far these high expectations, have been realized—all of this we shall leave for others than ourselves to relate. But whatever has been our success or whatever has been our failure, we have labored on earnestly, and now, having-ut length completed our task, we must leave the work of the Philomathean Society for the next Senior class to take up, and to its members we wish every possible success in this good work. —23- aV —26- CLASS MOTTO (ALiTIUS ETIAJVT ALiTIUS.) —27-- 0 r J vV'-.VwxV, ‘ - g7T v’j ' 1 V W V.

S., would doubtless have thought that in the members of the Class of ’91 he had found exceptions. But if that same student should return to study us now he would discover that the social feeling he thought was absent was merely latent. He would find that the studious larva of his first visit had been transformed into affable, pleasure-loving creatures, but happily not into society butterflies. It was not until our junior year that wre dared to think of class socials. For up to that time, serious children that we were, our thoughts w ere ever of our studies. But at this time a vague feeling seemed to move the class towards better acquaintance, social times and more intimate friendship. A philosopher might have pointed out that we became socially inclined because we had pointed out to ourselves several objects to be obtained by mingling together. Doubtless we obtained those ends, but all w e started out for was a good time—and we got it. Miss Brewer was the lirst who attempted to arouse us from our lethargy by tendering us her pleasant home for our first class social. We responded bravely to the arousing process, and this social w’as not only the first but one of the most pleasant. Following this we were delightfully entertained at the homes of the Misses Best, Austin and Filbert. So far, the girls had been the only ones to invite us to their homes but Mr. Eastman now’ came to the rescue, and we spent a delightful evening at his Nicollet Island home. Then, besides all these socials, we gave our grand reception to the Seniors at the Holmes. We did our best to make it an enjoyable affair tor the class of ’90, and in doing so none the less enjoyed ourselves. The Senior year opened socially with a gathering at Mr. Pierson's home, then followed that pleasant evening at the Waverly owing to the kind invitation of Miss Fisher, memorable for it mishaps and jollity; Miss Caplin was the next one to be hospitably inclined and we fully appreciated our opportun- —28— � - v- - ---1 -a?.- 1 ' .

And now, in conclusion, we must thank the class of 92 for the elegant and entirely successful reception tendered us in the spacious dancing hall of the Masonic Temple. In the years to come, as our memories turn back to that happy evening when we floated around the hall to the entrancing strains of the Blue Danube waltz, we will again gratefully thank the class of ’92. « —29- 1 v V O AV, ' A v,'. • AV.V,;y- A . - V v9.vV. rV.sV.vV.vV.v . v-.Ta A.-.v. .V . vVa VaV,vv wv, -lii.

Its object is the study of eco-tunnies and the discussion of current political and social questions. The club was organized at the beginning of the present school year by members of the Senior and Junior classes. It had a very modest beginning, there being but three persons present at the first two meetings. These meetings saw the election of officers, the adoption of a constitution and a practical discussion which was terminated only as the first dawn of morning vied with the gas light in its efforts to do homage to such an assembly. The officers elected were George Johnston, president; Leroy Clark, secretary and treasurer; James George and John Ilodgson, councilors. The society entered upon the course of study laid out by the councilors with great eagerness. Some of the subjects discussed were “The Causes and Effects of the Division of Labor,” “The Relation between Labor and Capital,” “Individualism” and “Single Tax.” The club is not confined to any party or set of political ideas, and partisan discussions are not permitted in the meetings A course of public lectures has been instituted. These lectures are on questions of the day and occur every other Saturday at the Public Library lecture room. The following is the course for this term: Miss Butler, “Booth’s in Darkest England;” Prof. W. T. Carpenter, “The Merits of Single Tax;” Hon. M. W Meagher, “The Fallacies of Single Tax;” S. M. Owens, “Protection and Free Trade;” Prof. Yr. W. Satterlee, “Prohibition.” The club has grown steadily from the start and now numbers about twenty active members. The meetings are held in Canadiau-Americau club rooms in the Guaranty Loan Building. gome Glassic i anslations 1. Tres litore cervos prospicit errantes.

OME four years ago a few of the bright and shining lights of the Senior class determined to promote the interests of the school by the publica- tion of a paper. The plan succeeded very well, and that year there were brought out four papers under the name of the “High School Orb ’ The following year only two papers were produced, but the Orb seemed steadily gaining, for the commencement edition of ’89 contained sixteen pag s of interesting and instructive reading matter. The class of last year, however, determined to see the “Orb” succeed, and with the help of the class of ’91, brought the “Orb” up to its present standard. Its publication was made compulsory by an amendment to the constitution of the Philomathean Society. Although the “Orb” is published by the Philomathean and Amphyctyon Societies, it by no means belongs exclusively to those societies, for articles are gladly received from any who take an interest in the paper and desire to see it succeed. By that we do not mean to say everything sent in is published, for of course some discretion must be used in publication, and we desire to see the “Orb” something more than a paper devoted to personals. The “Orb” has been published this year by Will D. Congdon as editor, and the staff of seven, assisted by those pupils of the school who are interested in its welfare. Its circulation has been simply enormous, and it is partly due to this fact that it has been unadvisable to publish as many numbers as last year. We only say in conclusion that we hope to seethe paper improve each year (if what we have done can be improved upon?) and may the paper become an honor to the school and a benefit to the pupils and readers. -38- VaVvVaVVv aV iVv Vl j v'AV.VV . s - - . - v ' • ‘ v‘'VwvV .v, ' V.

Few are, c ° connected with the school who are not familiar with its objects and the interest which environs it. Mr. S. C. Gale, the author and giver of this magnificent and benevolent prize, was for a number of years a member of the Minneapolis Hoard of Education, during which time his interest for the High School was emphatically made manifest. At the beginning of his term of office, the High School occupied a few rooms in the Washington building.and it was through his most earnest aud never tiring elTorts that the High School was erected. But his retirement from the Hoard, and the alteration of the old High School to its present magnificent proportions, have only increased his pride in its welfare. In 1888 lie ottered to the Hoard the sum of $1,000, the interest of which was to he presented to that member of each graduating class who could best compose and deliver an essay or oration upon such subjects as selected by the Principal of the High School. These productions are examined ami the best three selected to be contested at the graduating evening exercises, the judges deciding upon that night the one best deserving the reward This was a new and novel incentive in the experience of the High School students, and one which the graduating classes have greatly profited by. And why have they profited by it? It has stimulated them to new activity and interest, and developed characteristics which otherwise might have been concealed or remained passive. It has greatly increased the interest of the graduating exercises, throwing over the whole a more intense excitement than formerly prevaded that animated occasion. In 1888, the first year the prize was awarded, the honors were carried off by Miss Mary Linton. Her essay showed much careful thought and labor, and was very pleasingly presented. The fortunate one of the Class of ’89 was Miss Hood, whose essay equaled that of the preceding year, and who justly earned the honor she labored so diligently to obtain. In ’90, Mr. Arthur L. Helliwell secured the neat little prize by an excellent and well delivered essay. Many anxious hearts are awaiting the decision of the coming honors of the coining Class of 91. As the class is superior in ability to the former classes (?) much is anticipated. The good which the prize has done and will do cannot be estimated. It encourages {hose who win to aim higher and to contest in new fields; those who fail to try again. Throughout High School, and especially by those who have reaped its benefits, it will continue to be praised as long as memory lasts. -40- I M be (Evening Journal Prices HE incentive to thorough study, given by prizes, is a fact well known to all educators. It is recognized in all the larger schools and colleges of the country, and with the most favorable results. Nor is the Minneapolis High School behind hand in this respect. There are four prizes offered to its students: the Gale Prize and three Evening Journal Prizes. The former is of a literary character, the latter are awarded for scholarship. In 1888, the Evening Journal offered a sum of $100 to be expended annually in three cash prizes; the prizes to be awarded on commencement night to those obtaining the highest average standing during the four years’ course. The first prize of $50 to be given to the pupil whose average ranks first; the second prize of $30 to the one who stands next highest, the third prize of $20 to the one who ranks third. The averages of those persons to whom the prizes have been awarded the last two commencements have been very high, and, in several cases, differed only by a small fraction. They were awarded in 1889 to— Maud C. Colgrove, - First Prize. Julia A. Day, - Second Prize. These prizes are most liberal and generous, and the honor of obtaining them is not slight. When there are one hundred or more bright scholars (such scholars as the Minneapolis High School produces) all contesting for the same prize, the chance of obtaining it necessarily depends on diligent aud faithful study. “Study for study’s sake” is a trite maxim and a true one, but we believe that the person who studies diligently, be he actuated by whatever motive, soon learns to love study for its own sake. The school has heretofore scarcely appreciated the liberality of the Journal, some indeed being almost unaware of the existence of such prizes. How this comes about we scarcely understand, but it is a mistake which should be rectified in future. Each Freshman Class, on entering, should be informed of these prizes and have them set before them, not as a motive for study, but as an incentive to it. We believe that the healthy emulation aroused would be most beneficial, and that the effects would soon be apparent in the class rooms. The standard of scholarship would be raised, as was intended in offering the prizes, and teachers as well as scholars would have cause to bless the name of the Journal forever. Chas. E.

(2 We have passed from the lower stage up to the height at which we aimed and no v appear before you with brightened countenances and joyous hearts, made so by our success in meeting each foe as he appeared before us and leaving him vanquished upon the field. Many times the way has seemed dark and dreary but now' to-night we are assembled to celebrate our victory. We are now' to bid farewell to this great institution of learning, but we cannot or we will not forget it. The knowledge that we have here acquired will not fade away as this edifice disappears from our view; it may grow' dim with time but it never will forsake us even after the battle of life is finished. Our High School course is completed but our labor is just begun. We are now' to enter upon the great stage of life. May wTe act our parts well that glory may be reflected upon the class of ’91 and this school, and also that we may demonstrate to the people of the commonw'ealth the advantages to be gained by the free educational institutions of which our country boasts. The problem of life is now before us. The prospects for the future are bright. We may attain to any height in this great country of freedom. Our intellectual faculties have been under the supervision of a most competent corps of teachers and we hope and sincerely believe that the foundations w'hich they have laid, by which all our thoughts and actions through eternity are to be influenced, have been upon solid rock. The springtime of our life is at an end. The first period of youth, with its toys and pastimes and all its follies has ceased to be. We have entered upon the riper stage of our life, and many are its responsibilities. As American citizens we have before us problems for solution such as the world has never before had to meet. In this period of our lives at least, may we compel the world to take notice of the existence of the members of the class of ’91. It afTords us great pleasure to be able to conduct our class night exercises before so many of our friends. In the name of the class of ’91, I bid you a most cordial welcome. ff fisS.n . a , f a a ixaV � a aa . a .xy, y, y. v. amv. y. a Tv p . - - •, . v. ,� vXy. Y� V , aV history of tfie G ass °f ’91. OOlIEliE was an old woman, whose name was Alma Mater, she lived in a '|Ly shoe; but she had so many children that the shoe was not large enough for them all, so she wisely set to work and put such a large patch on the side of it that the shoe was almost twice as large as before. Then she gathered in all her children, and great were the festivities in celebration of this event. Now, in the three other smaller shoes, called the Winthrop, Adams and North Side High, there were children being educated in the same manner as those of Alma Mater. The Mater had as much love for these children as for her own, and, as she now had plenty of room for them, she decided to adopt and educate them during their last year of study. Only those from the North Side High refused to be adopted ; it is to be hoped that they may make some progress, however small, toward the glory of ’91 M. C. Ii. S. Though the Northerners did not come, as in former years, we number one hundred and four. If they had come we would have had a class of one hundred and twenty-two; fifteen more than last year. Ladies and Gentlemen: That you may better appreciate the sight before you, it is my duty to inform you that you are in the very presence of such an august assembly of future statesmen and stateswomen, world renowned musicians, immortal writers- indeed, the least of them will be a United States President—as it may never be your good fortune to behold again. Up to this time none but our teachers have known of our wonderful talents; in some cases even they did not seem to discern them. Our first three years of high school were passed in three separate schools, but we pursued the same studies. There are some people, who are to be pitied, that cannot understand what some of our High School studies are good for; for their benefit the use of these studies will be explained. Professor Eliot, of Harvard, in his address to the pupils of this school, said that each study was to give us some new power; we might never use a certain study directly, but we would use the power gained by its study. English grammar we have learned so that we might criticize the grammar of all those with whom we might chance to speak. English grammar is a social criterion; we might lx paragons of goodness but without grammar we would be forever nobodies. Physical geography we studied for discipline and we obtained it. Algebra has taught us that we might experience all sorts of torture and live through it. —45 Book-keeping will enable us to take care of our millions. We are very thankful for having studied General History; it will probably have saved us from a miserable end; for when we hold equally exalted positions, will not the stories of Napoleon and Caesar be a lesson to us? French and German we have studied so that when we visit those countries we may astonish the natives and keep up the reputation of the Yankees. What we found rather wn-natural-y hard was Natural Philosophy; but through this study we have gained a knowledge of electricity, water-power, etc. An excuse has been given to many by the study of Botany, for returning to that joy of childhood, digging in the dirt. Physiology—almost everyone will agree in saying that it should be studied by all. What a source of comfort it is to know when your tooth is aching so that you imagine your head will do longer hold together, that this aching is caused by the exposure of such and such a nerve in a certain tooth; you know just where it is and what it is. Let it be said here that in the second year some of us had considerable trouble with a girl named Eta Mol Ogy. This girl claimed that if we paid her a good deal of attention she could help us by teaching us the correct use of words. These subjects, with Latin and Greek, were our studies during the first and second years. We worked hard to obtain our title of Juniors. Our only pleasures had been to see happiness through the eyes of the Juniors and Senior; to admire the Junior and look with mingled awe and admiration on the Senior. When we wore the little ones of the school, we wore compelled to practice lifting woights, ranging from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty pounds, up three flights of stairs at least twice a day; that is, we wore lodged in the third story until the new part of the building was completed. We were not even permitted to slide down the banisters. For these reasons, when the new part of the building was finished, none entered into the celebrations of the event more heartily than ourselves. At last w e wore Juniors. Now' we dared look the Seniors in the face, they seemed especially creatures of this earth when they visited the Junior socials and made the cake scarce. The class now became organized and a literary society wras formed, called the Amphictyon Society. This society met once a week w'hen wo had a carefully prepared program of readings, recita ions, orations, and a debate. Each member took part in these meetings a certain number of times during the year, thus giving us good practice. We had five pleasant social gatherings. The first wos at the home of Miss May Brewer and was a brilliant success, although it is on record that only four girls were brave enough to take home four little boys. By the way, it has been one of the peculiarities of the girls of ’01 that they could not bring themselves to take the boys anywhere. It was whispered about, at one time, that the latter became so desperate that they wrote out a declaration of dependence, saying that they wouldn't go to the next social without a female escort. Sad to relate, many signed it, and so the poor boys remained at home. —46— In this, the third year, besides the languages, we studied Civil Government, Political Economy, Geometry, and Rhetoric. The girls, as well as the boys, have studied Civil Government and Political Economy; we are preparing for the time when we are to vote. Indeed we have voted already in class elections. Now in these elections who made the most noise, and who created the most disturbance, and who gossiped the most at the poles, and lastly who stuffed the ballot? Certainly not the girls. The girls have equaled and surpassed the other sex in this field of labor; when the political field is open to us and we stand on an equal footing, as here, will we not do the same? Geometry helped to impress regularity in our brains, to clear up the rubbish there, and neatly store up the good on our mental shelves. We will be greatly assisted by our Rhetoric when writing to our friends asking for a trilling loan. The boys had of course had manual training all through the course, while the girls had to be content with drawing and painting, for manual training and base ball are two things from which the girls have been excluded. Just as though they couldn’t saw a board or drive a nail—some way, or throw a ball—some where. Yet, strange to say, even without their help the base ball team of this school has won almost every game it has played. We were Juniors when the Pan-Americans visited our school and so the class of ’90, with the usual conceit of a Senior, . e. a Senior of last year, took all credit for having charmed that worthy company. But, let me tell you, the Juniors were there also. At the Holmes Hotel the Senior class was given a reception by this class. Dancing and games were the amusements of the evening; then, if never before, was the Junior appreciated; for in the language of the young ladies and gentlemen, they had “a perfectly lovely time,” and “a high old time.” When last year we looked upon the class of ’90 we despaired of ever equaling them; but we took heart and we said, “We will do our best,” and lo ! we have surpassed our wildest dreams. We now entered upon our last, the Senior year; all but one, Inez May Letcher, one of the brightest and most beloved of our class. Are not the loveliest fiowers always gathered first? Now the Winthropites and Adamites arrived and we immediately formed a literary society, the Philomathean, similar to the Amphictyon. We, of the Winthrop and Adams had not had, as a body, as much play as the Centralites. At the Winthrop we had but one social; this was given us by our teacher, Miss West, and we well remember how pleasant it was. Yet we had our celebrations for Christmas, Arbor Day, etc. Arbor Day, when we stood around the tree which some one planted and sang songs for its edification, although it was destined to die in three days; it probably did not wish to live any longer after hearing us sing. Certainly the pains spent upon us by the teachers of the Winthrop were not spent in vain, for all the class of ’91 will agree that with the Winthropites came Pease and Comfort. —47— The Adamites took great pride in their class. They formed a society, the Adelphi, had class colors, a class motto, and a class song. The motto was, “We aim high;” how high that was is shown in their song: “O! we're Juniors, blooming Juniors, Juniors of the Adams school. We're to be the haughty Seniors Of the famous Central school.” Besides the languages, this year we studied Philosophy. jUtronoiny, also, has been put in the course, principally so that in these beautiful moonlight evenings the Senior youths and maidens may not become moonstruck. Chemistry will certainly be a great help in domestic concerns, since our girls have learned to manufacture a whole teaspoonful of salt from ten cents worth of ingredients. We have learned to speak Latin so that when we visit the courts of Europe we maj' have a language which all will understand. But the Greeks, —alas, for the Greeks; all that is left for them is to go to Greece. Yet we know they will always, with pleasure, remember their Greek class; indeed, it was a pleasure to watch them when reciting. English Literature is the finishing touch which has been put to us with great pains and trouble. In this class we have been among the best as well as the worst of people, yet always among people of genius. We have made friends with all the great novelists and poets; we have heard their best words, and, it is hoped, prat’d by them; but one of the things which it has in vain been attempted to teach us in this class, is when to laugh. Early in the year, our poet, Miss Fanny Norris, left us to go to Florida; but, although so many miles away, the unity of the class is such that she is still of the class of ’1)1 M. II. S. Almost every family has its mystery and this family of ’91 has had its mystery. A few weeks after we were settled in Boom A, strange sounds began to be heard proceeding from the large empty school-room opposite. A stranger hearing these sounds would suppose that terrible things had happened there and that spirits haunted the place; for sometimes groans were heard, and sometimes loud calls for help, to which none dared respond. Sometimes, when we listened fearfully at the door, we could hear whispered words as, “Hist, silence along the lines there; not a word, on peril of your life!” and, “Sink or swim, survive or perish,” or, “Silence how dead and darkness how profound.” Then there one might hear some great shriek followed by groans, and all would be still. But the mystery was explained when told that it was only some of the Seniors practicing their rhetoricals for the literary society. At the home of Mr. Stuart Pierson we enjoyed our first Senior social. Here the fact was demonstrated that the study of Greek is not unfavorable to the study of Pig Poetry. In November, Mr. Locke Bichardson gave a recital of King Lear under the auspices of the Senior class. It was a success in every way and shows the -48 — business spirit of the class, for all the arrangements were made and all the advertising was done between Friday aud Monday. There is an indefinable desire which is to be found in a Senior who has not had his picture taken; so, without much loss of time, we proceeded to fill that want. One day we all stood on the entrance stairs ready for the great event, while the Juniors peeped at us wistfully from around the corners, aud indeed, we looked so well that we stopped several electric cars that were passing by. It took rather long to take that picture, for every time the photographer touched his machine we set up such a shout of glee that our features were put all out of shape and of course that wouldn’t do. But by dint of threats, warnings, and admonitions of our worthy President, we were caused to restrain ourselves and the great transaction was done. Last fall the astronomy class went to Xorthfield to Carletou College to look at the heavenly bodies from the observatory there. Some of those heavenly bodies must have walked the earth at Xorthfield that night, for a part of the class didn’t go to the observatory at all. But the others did get up at three o’clock a. m. to find that it wasn’t a favorable night to see stars; at least not through a telescope. Vet one girl did see the polestar and said that it was “awfully cute.” The boys dreamed that night that they were in Sparta, because three of them had to sleep on two feathers, and two others on six straws. In December we had two socials at the homes of Miss Jessie Caplin and Miss Lizzie Fisher, which were very pleasant forerunners of the holidays. For particulars on anything connected with the class you are referred to the High School Orb, a truly wonderful paper. It has recorded from the greatest to the most minute paiticulars concerning our school affairs; however, it may be remarked that the minute particulars occupy the greater part of space. Our two science clubs are the Y. P. P. S. C. and the Agassiz club. The latter is a year older than the former, it is for the study of electricity and geology. The Y. P. P. S. C. was formed in 1890 by members of this class for the purpose of discussing the political aud social questions of the day. The club is very popular. Among the members all the political parties are represented, and so by hearing the ideas given by all these parties a good knowledge is obtained of these questions upon which so much time is spent in public-life. Our last social was at the home of Mr. Robert Thompson, where, as usual, a happy evening was spent in dancing and playing games. One evening, when the snow was on the ground, the moon full and the air at just the right temperature, an open omnibus, drawn by four horses, with a load of Senior girls, came dashing along the street. We cau hear the tish-liorns and the merry laughter yet; we remember how we shouted when we passed the long rows of tenements just to see the people come running to the windows. Ah, but the poor little Senior boys, where were they? Fast asleep uutil they were awakened by peals of laughter aud joyous shouts, and then -49- they jumped out of their cosy little beds and peeped out of the windows to see who was having all the fun. At the home of Miss Louise Knappen we obtained new strength so that we might use our voices and tish horns with greater effect. At last it was time to betake ourselves to the land of dreams, but as it takes rather long to drive twenty-four girls to twenty-four opposite ends of the city, we arrived at our homes in good season in the morning to start for school. For the benefit of the class let it be recorded that even the daughters of Greece were known to shout on that memorable night. The Juniors, the class of ’92, should certainly receive great praise for the reception given to the Seniors at the Masonic. If they could be embodied in one person, we would certainly pat him on the back and say, “Well done, my little Junior, you may hope to become what we now are;” what could be higher praise? And now, when the parting was at hand, we prepared to weave some few bonds which should keep us together, at least in some ways. A class pin, a monogram, was selected; also our class colors, maize and blue, and our motto. And should our school forget us? No, we will have as a memorial, the chair before you with our name, ’91, upon it. When you see this chair you will think that as this chair is to the school, so is our class to the world. We will not only be an ornament, but of great usefulness; moreover, we will fill a longfelt want. And now, when we part, let us remember our motto, “Higher, still higher,” until we reach that home where we may again be united—the class of '91. -50- Statistics- Mr. President—Ladies and Gentlemen:— You have doubtless all heard the story, and I repeat it because it does not apply here, of the theatrical manager, who, on producing a new play, told one of his supes that he had a prominent part for him. On asking what it was the supe was told, that as he had large hands, he, the supe, was to sit in the audience and start the applause. Now we haven’t put anyone in the audience for that purpose, but I have asked a number of the class to laugh when they think it is necessary, therefore, if they smile at what appears to you, a lame joke, don’t think they are unable to distinguish between wit, humor, pun, burlesque, farce, comedy, the sublime, grave, beautiful, and pathetic, but give them credit for their kindness to me. Before I forget it, let me say that the Juniors can obtain diagrams, without extra charge, for all the witticisms used here this evening, by applying to any member of the “Senior Class.” To present this class to the best advantage, it will be necessary to consider it first, as a whole. We will make one person out of it and call him “Higher, Still Higher” Esquire. His presence is tall and commanding, he being somewhat taller than an electric light pole, and somewhat shorter than the distance from here to the moon, or to be more definite, 543 feet, 10 4 inches in height. Some persons would look rather thin if they were that tall, but not so ’91, (’91 is one of “Higher’s” pet names). To be sure his waist measures only 2,49 4 inches, but then he weighs 12,241 pounds, which gives him the appearance of being rather stout. In his ample hand, on which he wears a number 63234 glove, would be sufficient space for a professional ball game or a circus tent, side shows and — 51— ■ N, ■'A ..-,A. A. A. A. .N - A. A. A- A. A. .V. A. A. .X' A. A-_A- A A-� iV.S ft -ft-. ft-! ft all. While any one of his lingers would serve as a substantial flag staff for a school building. As he wears only a 486xX shoe we are afraid that he pinches his pedal extremities. He generally wears a tailor-made suit of maize and blue, as best suited to his age, the shady side of 1,924 years, 8 months, 7 days, 3 hours, and to his complexion, which varies and fluctuates between a muddy, sandy, peaches and cream tint to a delicate florid, which ever and anon seems to be either the pale complexion of true love, or the red glow of scorn and proud disdain . And his eyes! They are “Orbs” about which a poet might write volumes and then not give you any idea of their beauty. In prose it sounds something like this: Almond-shaped of a blackish-brown shade, which sometimes throw out a greenish-yellow light from their liquid depths. Said depths being covere d but not concealed, by curling lashes, long aud thick enough to sweep a recitation room floor, after a trio of Seniors had held a committee meeting there. Next to the eyes the most expressive feature of the face is, perhaps, the mouth. It is an expansive little mouth, 19 feet wide, which could easily take in the ‘‘A Room” piano, rubbers and all, an unabridged dictionary and a window stick and still leave room for a lemon pie, one-half dozen oranges and a box of gum. I have heard that when a beautiful nose is found above a perfect mouth it is a sure sign that the victim is without a reasonable supply of brains. Rut not wishing to hold you in suspense, I will tell you that “91” has 'a nose just homely enough to exempt him from this class of unfortunates. Ilis nose seems to be a queer mixture of pug, Roman, Grecian aud hook and its whole red and shining extent is covered with hills, valleys and rolling prairie, stretching before him for a distauce of 19 feet, always preceding him, and on dark nights serving as a headlight to point out the lay of the land. Truly his is a beautiful face and form, aud how hard it is for you to grasp the idea that his brain weighs 1,024 pounds, about the size of a small ton of coal. But it is never-the-less a fact. And to protect this organ he is obliged to have, made to order, a hat 693 inches in circumference. What a task to remove it, as of course he would do in the presence of ladies, and how difficult to dispose of it after it is removed. Now isn’t “91 all that any sane person could require in a human being? Handsome, well preserved, for one of his years, not a gray hair in his head neatly attired, and last but not least very braiuey. You may think this description exaggerated, but just glance at him as he sits before you and you will be convinced that I have not praised him enough. We might speak of the remarkable characteristics of each member of the class, for they all have them, but this would take a great deal of time. Therefore we will speak of only the remarkably remarkable ones, beginning with the sole aud only young man in the clas9 who ha9 a mustache. It is a beauty and the pride of the class. It’s not too thick, of a beautiful brown, and about 21 inches in circumference, which is doing well, as it is only tico years old. —52— As age comes before beauty, from the fact that there is more of the former, let me say right here that the oldest member of the class is 22 years, 8 months, 17 days; the youngest, 16 years, 8 mouths, 20 days, and the average 18 years, 11 months, 24 days, 3 hours, 21 minutes, 2 seconds. The girls are all beautiful, but the boys rank higher, still higher in-the size of their mouths. The average in their case being 2J3 inches, and for the girls only 2 5 inches. On Sunday, providing it is pleasant, you will see many representatives of the class of “’91” on their way to church. There will be 15 Presbyterians, 16 Congregationalists, 1 Swedenborgian, 10 Methodists. 7 Universalists, 1 Unitarian, 6 Catholics, 2 Jews, 9 Baptists, 7 Episcopalians, and several, who, because they are too indolent to attend church, call themselves free-thinkers, heretics, pessimists, etc. As for politics, we are all in it, even the Zs,41 of them showing their good sense by being Republicans. There are 14 Prohibitionists, 14 Democrats, 2 Mugwumps, 1 Woman’s right-, man, 4 individuals with hay seed in their hair, who answer to the name of Farmer’s Alliance and 56 Republicans, including both girls and boys. Ninety-two of our class were bom in the United States, 54 of this number in Minnesota, 2 in Canada, 1 in London and 1 in Chiua. When you stop to think that Daniel Webster’s brain weighed only 53 ounces, and was considered abnormal, you may be alarmed to hear that the average weight in this collection of paragons is 122, ozs. and still we are all healthy! But this is because we were entirely unconscious until this moment that we were so burdened. The smallest brain is not w’orth mentioning and the largest, that of a young man, weighs 143 pounds. You don’t like to believe that but you can see him for yourself if you wish, lie’s here, brains and all! For the further development of these brains, 1 will go to Yale, 1 to Commercial College, 1 to Ann Arbor, 1 to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1 to Bowdoin, 1 to Oberlin, 1 to Boarding School, 2 to Yassar, 1 to Wellesley, 10 to the Training School, several to study music or art, and 37 to the University of Minnesota. Tw enty-one of our number will, after practicing at human targets, in schools for that purpose, endeavor to teach “the young idea how to shoot,” but I tremble when I think of where the ideas will hit. One will keep books, one teach music, tw o will start out with little leather cases under their arms, marked with skull and cross-bones, and leave destruc. tion in their paths, w’herever they go; one will be a tooth doctor; one a foreign missionary; one a merchant tailor; two dog-catchers; two professors, one of ball playing, the other neglected to say of what, so I supposed he meant of dancing; two mechanical engineers; two ministers; two lawyers and two house-keepers. Many say they will get married. These I should advise to learn type-writing as the surest way to obtain their wish. The rest of the class will doubtless become either presidents, orators, Joan of Arcs, great actors, or street-car drivers. —53— For modesty we rival the blushing bride, for brains the Pan-American Congress, for youth a model infant class, for beauty the handsomest $10,000 beauty ever advertised by Barnum. There is no doubt but that the immortal Bacon, could he be here now, would say, as he did in days gone by, 'What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals.” And 49thly and lastly: If I were a young man you would probably have cried out long ago—“Then he will talk—good gods! how he will talk.” -54- Glass Qration, ’91. The Epic Periwl of American History MC LAUGIILIN WHITE, T is natural to cherish the memory of our ancestors; it is most proper to dwell upon the facts and traditions of their history. The recollection of such experiences awakens in the soul a profound sense of mural obligation; we respond more earnestly to the exigence of the nation, when we realize the trials and vicissitudes of fortune through which our fathers passed; and we lay those foundations deeper and wider, on which we perceive nations shall rise, and distant ages admire our wisdom or contemn our foil}’. The granary is contained in a kernel of corn; the civilization of centuries was wrapped up in the little band of Pilgrims that on December 21, 1020, disembarked on Plymouth rock. The epic period of our national history is traced in the growth of those principles for whose enjoyment that heroic baud of men and women had sought these solitary shores; in the depths of a wilderness it beheld the rise of our country and witnessed the development of national characteristics; it culminated in the struggle for independence and the final establishment of the Union. Its undertakings were the most perilous—its victories the most decisive—its achievements the most glorious of modern times. Its heroes were men whose deeds determined the existence of this people and shaped the destinies of this nation; men endowed with the keenest moral and intellectual faculties who could act and think and feel for all ages. On these shores a new type of man was fostered by them. A study of those times reveals to us the fountain-head of the progress peculiar to this century. The alertness with which they met the sudden attack of the savage and averted an impending danger, has enabled us to assemble in arms at a moment’s summons and defend this sacred charge, preserving the respect of nations without the burden of a great standing army. The ingenuity with which they devised contrivances for the relief of their wants has placed us foremost among the inventive nations of to-day. The zeal with which they founded a great institution for the advancement of learning has rendered our progress in education unparalleled. The spirit of brotherhood with which they shared a common fate, and shoulder to shoulder toiled at a —55 common task, was the imperishable corner-stone of a true democracy, where the only distinctions are those of virtue and wisdom. Their cheerfulness in want and adversity; their piety and reverence in spite of disasters; their patience and perseverance, their sagacity and fortitude are a priceless legacy. In every home and school and factory and shop; in every court of justice and chamber of legislation throughout this land; in the morals, the manners, the usages of this people, the principles advocated by that poor little band of Pilgrims are manifest. No sentimentalists, no seekers of notoriety were they. Moved by grave convictions, they knew not but their own existence would be brief as that of the insect which perishes the moment of its birth. In the heart of nature they wrought with sad earnestness after the precepts of nature herself-----and who shall say they strove in vain? Their hearts in unison with man and truth grasped intuitively the grandest principles of society and government and transmitted them to posterity. Release man from the bomb of oppression and behold the advancement of justice, of knowledge, of patriotism, of humanity. Cherishing this truth, their watch-word was “freedom.” This is the principle that perpetuates our government; this is the philosophy of our people; this is the fountain-head of our progress. America is the out-growth of freedom. The Roman poet sang of arms; liberty’s theme is peace. For a century it has summoned to our shores Jew aud Gentile, Mohammedan and Greek; ’neatli our fair flair will congregate the dusky southerner and hardy northman for centuries to come; on this hospitable soil the ancient peoples of the Orient and their progressive brothers of the Occident will meet. Europe and Australasia and America will be one, and the divine spirit of brotherhood will dispel the dream of the fanatic aud defy the plot of the demagogue. There is a school of philosophers who say general conceptions are but symbols representing a class of ideas. This fact is true of all great men---Plato or Homer,or Shakespeare, or Newton, or Columbus, or Washington, or that immortal band of patriots. They live in all ages and hemispheres not as men who were our physical counterparts, but as representatives of truth—as symbols of what is worthy of human aspiration—as the embodiment of those qualities which the soul most adores. They are the subjective, we the objective element of mankind. The true nature of their greatness is hidden; it is infinite. We measure all men by their achievements, and he is pronounced greatest, who, although he flourished centuries ago, is a potent factor in the world to-day. The institutions founded by Washington and his colleagues we still maintain. We do not enlarge our domain or strengthen our power by victorious arms; but all peoples flock hither to enjoy peace and prosperity; and the tolerance of all religious sects, the freedom of the press and the education of the masses will be the life and glory of our nation in all times. —56— A.-AV.S -r.N S - A- A . ,v .o.s tAS A- £a- - n- a a - .' .v ' ? § § $ §$ § v x v,. v y v y Glass Poem. Friends and schoolmates here before me, In this vast assembly hall. Clouds of fancies rushing o'er me, Dim my vision like a pall; For I see a hundred noble, Nay, a thousand good deeds done, By the smartest class on record, By the class of ninety-one. Bear with me awhile in patience, And to you I will relate, J ust a few of the perfections, Of this Senior class so great. Intellectual or physical; No matter what the test, You may choose to place before them, This class will have the “Best.” They can watch the grave professor, Every movement they will note, At the same time write a missive, Pin it on a schoolmate’s coat, Physical activity? The Senior boys are there, In testing the declivity Of the Central High School stair. No foolish pride you’ll here behold, Nor do they keep aloof From the other rooms about them, Of this I’ll give you proof. Abundant proof I’ll give of this, Nor use aught of deception, Who more affable than the Senior girls, Before the Junior reception? -57- Self sacrificing Seniors, Oh! note the pains they take, The Junior socials they attend, And eat up all the cake. Yea, every social they attend, Though the night be dark and still, To keep the little Junior boys, Poor things, from being ill. Ingenuity, versatility, Oh these they surely show, Just visit our school room some morning And you never can tell me no. J ust be with the grave professor, As he sits in his chair in state, And lists to those varied excuses, Which are given for being late. They have made one great mistake, Alas! that they did not know it, I have suffered, you have suffered From their choice of a class poet. But whatever their weakness and follies, Which, perhaps, I’d rather not tell, I think to-night I may honestly say That they average very well. Four years they have worked together And sometimes the way was steep, And it seemed that the book before them, Their roving thoughts could not keep. And oft when the sun shown so brightly And the trees all were dressed in gay green, They have thought the old stone High School The dreariest sight ever seen. And after vacation’s freedom The rules seemed strict, nay absurd, And the lessons and recitations, The dullest that ever were heard. But such feelings were momentary, And rebellious thoughts were quelled, By the kindest and best set of teachers That ever a high school held. But much of the way was all brightness, All filled with laughter and fun, And they felt a lasting pleasure In the teacher’s gentle “well done.” And they grew to love each other, As they went there day by day, The bond of affection gre v stronger, And it never will pass aw ay. -58— A . ■ .-• .-A ,-• - V A AS. - y.-.-r.NVSW 'V- ' .“-A V '-.v ' - a a . , V w . .V vV , ,-Ay ,• .V . ■•%. - . Whenever they come to this city, Though as strangers, for years they may roam, They will look for the Central High School, As they’ll look for their childhood home; Though once well-known features be changed by time, And forgotten the now oft-seen face, Though they meet together in distant clime, T’will give each a true friend’s place. To speak of their youth and pleasures, And of all the deeds there done, To say we were schoolmates together, Of the class of ninety-one. Though all should be bright and gay to-night, These words are hard to say, ’Tis perhaps the last time we ever shall meet Together in social way. The work is nearly ended, In a few days all will be o’er, And we’ll take our seat in “A” room As scolars never more. No more our hurrying feet shall pass Through the well-known halls and aisles, No more we’ll linger after class To speak of class pin styles. We part, the fates before us, No mortal man may see, We part, perhaps it is for years, Perhaps till eternity. But whether we meet in the world below, Or in the vast world beyond, We’ll welcome each other gladly, United by friendship’s bond. We start, the world before us, We are blessed with strength and youth; May the lives we lead, the deeds we do Be pure and full of truth. May all strive upward ever And each do much to swell The record of earth’s noble deeds, Oh! schoolmates fare ye well. —59— ‘J'he Prophecy of 01. N the autumn of ’97 the entire civilized world was startled by the inven- tion of a machine, in one of our large western towns. It was a patent stiff-backed, double-action, electro-magnetic, debt-collecting machine called an Elo-magnetic-debt-squeezer. Its inventor, Clyde Burdick, too well known among his countrymen to sell his invention, sailed the following spring for South America to force his device upon the unsuspecting natives. A large omnibus, tilled with twelve blooming old school-teachers, entered Salt Lake City in the spring of 1907. The teachers were soon disposed of in a very unteacher-like way. Harriet Johnston and Minnie Kerridge each gave her heart and hand to a Scotchman, who was already the possessor of seven hearts and fourteen hands. Quiet Sarah Balme, after much coaxing, became the wife of a lawyer. Florence Dickinson, Jessie Caplin and Lena Witte were handed over to the highest bidder, party unknown. A dry goods merchant, to save the expense of hiring floor-walkers, made room in his heart for Hilda Norstrom and Bell Rochette. Unpretending Maud Derickson was calmly led away by a queer little tailor. A photographer captured Cora Schofield and Alice Arnold suffered a like fate at the hands of a German butcher-Lillie Pomeroy wanted to get married but she couldn’t and started back home to tell of the happy fates of her sisters. Boy Cook, employed as a dog catcher in western Ohio, one day captured the pet poodle of Alice Wakefield, a retired old maid of the same place. Roy was imprisoned for ten years aud when released resumed his former occupation. Lillie Best and May Brewer were sent in the year 1900, to the court of King Albert of England as representatives from the American society of belles. One of the greatest events of the World’s Fair was a balloon ascension. It was an expedition which set out to discover the source of cyclones and was led by Albert Moore. Among the party were Adolph Peterson, Herbert Hurd, Reuben McDermid, Edwin Clark, Harry Tanner and Thomas Devereaux. Two years later the balloon landed in France, minus its human freight. In it was found a bundle of books with the following dedication: “We, the undersigned, hereby submit our labor-begrimmed, ink-stained Literature books to the future classes of Central High School, Minneapolis.” Then followed the signatures of the aforenamed gentlemen. As the astonished Frenchmen had —60 unfortunately never heard of the Central High School of Minneapolis, the hooks were sent to the British Museum. Through the astronomical observations of Florence Garvey, a famous astronomer, the boys were discovered on one of the mountains of the moon quietly eating green cheese. The great success of Eugene Eastman as a newspaper man, brought him an income large enough to suit the fastidious taste of Mrs. Eastman, nee Hashow. Rose Turnbull and Minnie Buchanan, professional walkers, each obtained a gold medal at the World’s Fair, for walking the greatest distance ever known to have been traversed by a human being in one day. Nellie Merrill, Anna Holbrook and Mary Marshall, after being graduated from college, went south to work as missionaries and teachers among the negroes. Louise Teall, having inherited a large fortune, determined to gratify a long felt want and hire a coachman. Repairing to the intelligence office of Filbert, Filbert, Tilden Co., she was supplied with one in the person of Stuart Pierson. After ten years of travel in Europe, Stuart had returned to America a financial wreck seeking the Fountain of Youth. Two months after his engagement as coachman, he and Louise were on board a steamer sailing for France. Robert Thompson never recovered from the shock and was placed in Herbert llaukinson’s asylum for poor unfortunates. In 1900 Frank Campbell, a well known contractor, built in New York, a five story stone building. When completed the following sign, painted and % suggestively decorated by the famous artist, Etta Fox, was hung over the front entrance: “Refuge for Hopeless Bachelors, Homeless Cats, Henpecked Husbands, Undesirable Old Maids, and any other Articles of Cast-off Household Furniture.” Olive Tuttle and Hattie Truesdell, incited by their own hopeless condition, were the worthy founders of this noble institution. Lucy Gibbs and Jessie Blake were installed as housekeepers; Fanny Norris attended to the gardening; Zula Kittman and Amelia Edsten were employed as hair dressers and general polishers; John Hodgson entertained the old maids with political science lectures, and Margaret Lawrence looked after the bachelors and henpecked husbands. Clifford Thompson, owing to his early success as a translator, was hired to run the elevator. Minnie Stone’s work was that of conducting the religious exercises. Mary C. Smith took the position of general over seer. When not employed recovering from the shocks caused by the wickedness of her inferior officers, she was engaged in giving dancing lessons to her host of homeless cats. Robert Northway was also employed about the building but whether as a henpecked husband or hopeless bachelor was never determined. May Banker, after graduation, was suddenly changed by Mac White from “Banker's” daughter into that of banker’s wife. A society consisting of Martha Tracy, Minnie Mheller, Thyr a McClure, Bertha Norton and Louise Kuappen was formed in 1902 having its headquarters at Chicago. Its object was to relieve young men from the embarrassment —61— of shopping expeditions by supplying them with culling irons. The young ladies devoted all their time to the work and as a reward will ever be remembered with love and gratitude by the young men of America. Over a small one-story frame building in Montreal is this sign: “‘Reddy’ Made Paper Collars, Face Lotions and Hair Invigorators sold here. Perry, Atty, Werner Co.” Through her articles published in Anna Dickenson’s literary magazine, Arvesta Clarke became recognized as a talented journalist. Owing to the eloquent and persuasive lectures of Jack Schurch, the beginning of the twentieth century saw the complete extirpation of the heresy of base ball playing. The most brilliant event in Washington society during the season of 1901 was the reception tendered by the society ladies, Cora Filteau and Emma Lovejoy to Mary Barnes. The latter sailed the following spring to Japan to rescue the Japanese women from the folly of wearing small shoes. James George sailed as a missionary to a South Sea Island. Captivated by his oratorical powers, the natives mistook him for a god and fell to worshipping him. Used to the situation, James made this island his future home. Christina Edwards became a great novelist. Her latest book, “The Folly of Laughter,” met with such success that Zua Clough and Bert Bradford made their fortunes as book agents. Two months training as a seamstress gave Mamie de Mars sufficient courage to set up an apron factory. Janet McDermid and Annie Fish engaged themselves as nurses in the great Comfort hospital, named after its founder, Ed. Comfort. The loving sympathy and quiet tenderness of these girls in their work as nurses endeared them to all with whom they came in contact. Levi Pease, after years of persevering labor was recognized by America as one of its greatest civil engineers. Anna Johnson spent the greater part of her life working among the poor of her native city and became, in the true sense of the term, a public benefactor. Louis Williams was made a deacon in the church of the Rev. Frank Curtiss Davis. Before officiating in his new position, Louie ordered a pair of long trowsers and a swallow-tailed coat of the tailor establishment of de la Barre and Holt. Ada Hartig, in her travels through South America, met the “missing link.’ A brilliant wedding ensued. Some years later three little “missing links” were to be found at the kindergarten school of Josie Dahl and Margaret Howard, in St. Paul. Fred Sheffield was sent from the United States as a foreign missionary. But Instead of exerting his influence for the spiritual welfare of heathen brethren, he devoted his time to becoming a “professional lady killer.” A dis- —63— grace to the service, he was sent back and has since become a professional auctioneer. Muriel Mabie, when last heard of was digging among the ruins of Athens for the roots of some Greek verbs. She was entirely unable to speak her native tongue, but conversed fluently in Greek. After a prosperous and eventful career as a newspaper man, Will Cong-don bought out the stock of a wholesale pie and candy store. But alas! ere his friends could arrive on the scene to patronize him, William had eaten all the pies and chewed all the gum. George Johnston and Leroy Clark became the proprietors of a wholesale “t” store. Leroy attended to the finances, while George advertised his “t.” Since becoming a western newspaper man William Twing has given the world ample proof that man possesses six senses. Through his well-developed power of mind reading, he reports all divorce cases, murders, law suits and poems written, without stirring from his desk. Abby Ripley, after obtaining sufficient authority to affix M. I), to her name, dispensed with her Woman’s Rights’ principles long enough to prefix a Mrs to aforesaid cognomen and add to her earthly possessions a widower and seven treasures. Unable to resume her former exalted position, she fell to planning and scheming. As a result, she manufactured a drug which possessed the power of restoring fallen teeth. Belle Austin, a society belle, being in need of a few wisdom teeth, tried Abby’s medicine. Although the teeth never appeared, Bell became wise enough in a few months to teach a country school. Carl Huhn, a rising young doctor in Milwaukee, inspired by the practical nature of his profession and the ingenious tendency of his mind, invented a jumping-jack which performed its manipulations without the customary aid of a string. Edwin Connor, Henry Deutsch and Myer Cohen formed a corporation and set up a jumping-jack factory in Paris. It having always been James Bodwell’s ambition to live in the White House, he may be seen at times not employed at his usual occupation of killing patients, whitewashing his log cabin, while Mrs. Hattie Steele Bodwell is employed at an upper window holding a Greek recitation of one. This is the end of the prophecy of ’91. —03 — T ddi ess to Juniors. “So man that think to force and strain Beyond it natural sphere the brain, In vain torments it on the rack, And for improving sets it back. ' ST is well for children, even from their earliest infancy, to have some standard, some goal, toward which they may bend every faculty in their race for fame. Let your standard, O Juniors, be the class of ’91. It is an illustrious class, noted for its truth, integrity and honor, and although you will scarcely be able to attain as high a degree of excellence as we, yet by doing honest work you will have the satisfaction of doing as well as your infantile minds will permit. Our duty to-night, as Seniors, is an important one, viz: to direct young and inexperienced minds into the paths of glory. When you enter that awe-inspiring “A” room you will make many startling discoveries, but if you take my advice and do not whisper, tear paper, or stuff the piano with waste material, you will get along with less difficulty and more harmony. The Annual, which appears to-night and which is the result of our prolific brain, is not only the best of its kind ever produced, but without doubt also the best that will be produced for years to come. Keep up the Annual, don’t permit our success in this line to overwhelm you, but struggle on and produce something. The Political Science Club, a society devoted to the study and discussion of social and political questions, was formed by our class early in the year. Out of sympathy we admitted a few Juniors who still continue to be members, and who, by strenuous efforts, have advanced sufficiently to conduct meetings, so that although greatly crippled by our absence, there will be no excuse for your not continuing in the good work. One great proof of a people’s civilization is their political enthusiasm. Where could one find such glorious examples of this fact, or what could not a party do with such agitators as are found in the class of ’91. Hardly a day passes without questions arising and decisions made that would make our would-be rivals turn green with envy. See to it that you do not let the interest relax. We have noticed, with no small degree of merriment, the growing tendency on the part of certain male members of the Junior class to foster a minute flax-like growth on the upper lip, also their vain endeavors to have the same seen and recognized. Your hopes are futile. It will take years of time and careful attention to support such a luxuriant production as adorns our faces, and indeed I doubt if many of you will ever be able to do so. During the past year we have been watching your socials with parental interest and are glad to own that in most cases you have conducted yourselves with propriety. A few misunderstandings have arisen, howrever; to prevent these it w’ould be well to obtain your refreshments and music before the assembled company have need of them. We would also urge upon you the necessity of departing at more reasonable hours. Take our advice, go to bed early and the latter part of that old proverb will surely follow. The singing of the Seniors has long been a source of intense delight, in fact, the only joy shining through the dull routine of study to those poor mortals occupying the upper rooms, w'ho, from their extreme youth and inexperience -64— have been denied a piano. Only old and experienced minds can appreciate such luxuries. No doubt you are all looking forward to this as one of your chief pleasures. But you have many things yet to learn and one of the most important is the truth of the adage “things are seldom what they seem,” for although the piano in the “A” may seem to you to be simply perfect, yet we know that a new one would be of great advantage both to school and performers; therefore, let this addition be one of your many improvements. In your tremendous efforts after the Valedictory don’t let the fame of the High School in athletics wane. There are many classes of athletics, all of which could be cultivated by you to great advantage. Not the least of these is base ball. Don’t forget the splendid games of your predecessors. Try to form a club that will equal ours. You notice we say try, for deprived of our talent and obliged to struggle on without our aid, your progress will of necessity be slow. Soon we hope to see a league formed and then, in future years, we, as old men, can tell how gloriously we won the pennant. It is a sad thing for children to be deprived of their guardian at such a tender age, and we, who have watched over you with solicitous care for so long, grieve that you must soon be thrown upon the tender mercies of the world. Would that we could ever remain near you and by our superior wisdom and strength guide you on to a life of happiness and well doing; but a kind Providence that looks alike upon Senior aud Junior compels us to bid you an affectionate farewell. -65- YY)bat is the J gassi Association. During the fall of 1889, a number of the more enthusiastic pupils of this school and the State University, organized a science society, which until lately has been known as “The Young People’s Society of Natural Science,” but a short time ago, upon application, they became Chapter 366 of the “National Agassiz Association,” of which all interested in science have heard more or less, but to those who have not, the following will probably be of interest. HOW IT WAS FORMED. In the spring of the year, 1875, a number of the pupils attending the High School of Lennox, Mass., organized a society for the purpose of studying together the various branches of Natural Science. From this small body has spread what is now known as the Agassiz Association, chapters of which may be found in most every city and town of any note in the United States and Europe. It has established thousands of branches, with a total membership of nearly twenty thousand. The purpose of the organization is to stimulate and direct that sort of original scientific study which was pursued by Louis Agassiz (one of the greatest scientists that the world ever produced) from his boyhood to his death. ITS AIM. It is the aim of the local branches, or chapters, to make collections of the plants, animals or minerals that abound in their immediate neighborhood, and to learn what they can regarding the specimens thus collected. Also if they wish, (as in the case of this chapter), they may consider the science of Physics, and with the help of some competent person or persons, learn what they are able in this direction. Every chapter of the A. A. is required to subscribe for one or more of the society’s “journals” which are issued monthly, and through whose columns they may correspond with one another on any topic of interest to the society. -66- The papers referred to are issued by the national organization, whose headquarters are in Pittsfield, Mass., and have the hearty support of a number of the world’s best scientists. The standing of the A. A. is indicated by the cordial recognition received from the Boston Society of Natural History, the Philadelphia Academy of Science, the Royal Society of Australia and other organizations of note, as well as by the hearty co-operation of the most eminent scientists of the day. Professor Alpheus Ilyatt, of the Boston Society of Natural History, says:— “It seems to me that the work of the Agassiz Association is second to none in the benefits which may be conferred upon the cause of education in Natural History.” Perhaps in no better way can the wide-spread sympathy with the aims and purposes of the association be shown than by quoting a few of the many notices of the press: If M. L. II. will join the Agassiz Association, she will be placed in correspondence with eminent specialists in Ornothology.—N. Y. Tribune. The above clipping partially illustrates the use of the society’s papers, and the efficient support they receive. A chapter of the A. A. ought to be organized in every school of the city.— Salt Lake Daily Tribune. Why not join the Agassiz Association? Then you have the benefit of the best teaching in any science the country can afford.—Housekeeper. The A. A. is an admirably simple arrangement for bringing students of nature throughout the country into affiliation.—Hartford Courant. From the ranks of the A. A., will come our future scientists.—Oologist. should organize local branches with schools, public and private, wherever their influence can reach.—Defiance {Ohio) Democrat. We heartily commend this active and admirable club to all who are interested in the study of nature.—St. Nicholas. It is the earnest desire of the members of Chapter 3G6 of the A. A. that those pupils of this school and the University, who take an interest in the study of Natural Science, will affix their names to its constitution at our next meeting to be held at Public Library building (providence permitting) the second Monday in September next, 2:30 p. m. One of the A. A’s. WIIAT IS THOUGHT OF THE A. A —67— T'be Glory and Shame of gums. was always a mystery to me as a boy, why the Scotch peop’e should hold oj in reverence the memory of Robert Burns rather than that of other great writers of their country. I was at a loss to understand why he, with his profligacy and shame should merit the adoration of all his fellow countrymen, and one day I asked an ignorant, but kind hearted Scotchman why they always kept the anniversary of his birth rather than Scott’s or other writers. His only reply was, “0, man, but we love him.” I suppose there are mauy who still love him, who could give no other reasons, but perhaps that is enough. In a study of Burns’ life, the first fact that confronts one is, that the noble faculties with which nature endowed him and the life he lived, form a contradictory tragedy throughout. But in order to understand this saddest fact of his sad life, we must remember that, while gifted with endowments beyond any of his age, with a sense of honor as keen as any others, with sensibilities as tender as the tender-est; that while he had all those qualities which go to make the noblest men, he still had a dual nature, and over against these better qualities, we must see arrayed a low nature, fierce and refractory, passions continually raging in his breast for mastery; passions which when conquered and restrained make the man strong above all; but where conqueror are most fatal. Alas, for Burns, he had a will that would not be gdided by that silent inner voice, which, thanks to early training, could have carried him safely over. Knowing these facts, can we wonder that for him, life was one continuous defeat? His religion has been the subject of much debate. Carlyle says in his remarkable essay, that the only religion Bums can be said to have had, was a belief in some great “Perhaps,” but in this I am not willing to agree. Other panegyrists have made him little short of a saint and “just as far they miss the mark.” We must discriminate between the forms of religion that existed in his day and true religion. Burns above all was honest and truthful, and he knew that a man’s life, six days in a week, should bear out his pretensions on the seventh. Hear him:—“I am, I must confess, too frequently the sport of whim, caprice and passion; but reverence to God, and integrity to my fellow men I hope ever to preserve.” Again he says:—“A mathematician without religion is a probable character; an irreligious poet is a monster.” I think I am fairly conversant with his writings, but I have yet to find the first assault upon the fundamental principles of Christianity. But upou the outward forms of religious worship he brought effectively his stinging lash. If we read carefully those poems called sacreligious, such as “Holy Willie’s Prayer” or Holy Fair, we shall see in them the same rebuke which the “Great Preacher” gave to the righteous Pharisees. True, Burns was a sinner, but who knew it better than himself? “If we say we have no sin, the truth is not in us, but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.” Who shall say Burns of all men did not confess his sins? —68— All his critics together have not shown the shame of Burns with such clearness and fullness as he himself has shown it. 1 am apt to believe that Coleridge had Burns in mind when he wrote, “lie prayeth best who loveth best all things both great and small.” If that be true, Burns of all our poets prayed well. From the “Poor Timorous Cowrin Beastie,” or the “Modest Crimson-tipped Daisy” to his nobler “Mary in Heaven,” his poems are the very embodiment of love. Indeed, some say he loved too well for his own good, and while this may or may not be true, many of his troubles might have been averted if he had “loved more wisely.” Critics differ in what they think constitutes the chief glory of Burns. Carlyle says it is his sincerity, Professor Wilson called it simplicity, others say it was his candor. I think it was a combination of these. Burns knew his own heart and was honest enough, candid enough to speak from it. No man can touch the hearts of his listeners if he does not speak from the heart. Burns firmly believed that “The heart ay’s the part ay That makes us right or wrong.” Principal Shairp says:—“No wonder the peasantry love Burns as no other poet. He not only sympathized with their wants, trials, joys and sorrows, but he interprets it to them in their own language, made musical and glorified by genius. He made the poorest plowman proud of his station and toil, for hadn’t Bobbie Burns shared them? In looking up to him, they have seen themselves in a large impersonation with both their virtues and vices reflected.” Of his poetry there have been various estimates differing widely, and while he certainly could not claim for himself what must be a writers proudest boast, that he wrote no line, which, dying, he could wish to blot; neither was he merely a minstrel peasant “who sung of mice, fair women and daisies to please his associates.” Though a minstrel and born of the peasantry, he has made a place for himself with the masters of lyric poetry. His poetry is pervaded with a life breathing truth. It seems to come forth spontaneously like a boiling geyser, always stamped with a living reality. Perhaps his better nature is shown in the “Saturday Night,” one of the most perfect poems in the language, but if you would see his other side, his lower nature, read the “Jolly Beggars.” It is in his songs, however, that his soul flows out fullest, freest, brightest. There is no form of literature where the emotions are soquickly kindled, where the soul is so tenderly touched as the song. Where in any land will you find song language that touches the tender spot as the melodies of Burns? “Bonny Doon,” “John Anderson,” “Scot’s Wha Hae,” “Macpherson’s Farewell,” bind together with ties a little stronger all true Scotch hearts, and wherever on the face of the earth, men of any nationality sing together that noble song, “Auld Lang Syne,” their hearts must beat in unison; then they recognize a universal brotherhood. It would not be proper to close without speaking of the shame of Burns. O, happy, happy thy memory Burns, could we know as little of your life as we know of Homer's or even of Shakspeare's. That we might have been left to read your life in your writings. Contained in those fragmentary works is the better part of your life’s work. “The evil that men do lives after them.” -69- The little evil or the much that Burns did, still lives and must live as long as time. Of his love affairs and continued debaucheries, it were useless to enumerate. Alas, he lived to rue it all! One evening in Dumfrees, the gay aristocracy of the neighboring county were assembled on a pleasant green. The merry laughter went up with the music of the pipes. In a dark lane on the opposite side, a solitary individual walked to and fro. Hundreds met him, but no one appeared to recognize him. He was the exciseman, formerly the courted poet, Robert Burns. But the taint of liberalism rested upon him! Burns quarantined by the better society! A pariah! Whom to blame? None but himself. Some are ready to cry, “shame that Scotland, who has never produced another such genius, should allow him to fade into an untimely grave.” Nonsense! Burns was born into the world as rich as any of our best poets. He had the privilege of choosing his occupation. He received as much in remuneration as usually falls to a poet. Why should Burns, rather than any other man, have his battles fought for him? His poverty cannot be compared with that of many other poets. No, Scotland did for Burns just what America did for Poe, gave him an equal chance with other men, and if they both fell into drunkard’s graves before they were two score years of age, who is to blame but themselves. But let us not be too hard upon him in his debauchery. He lived in a country which has always been noted for its hospitality, and such was Burns’ popularity that it is said he could hardly walk a mile without being called in to take a drop. Burns was a live man all round. Wherever he went he was at once the centre of the circle. A magnetic presence, he brought a discharge of social electricity and the fascination of his talk among women is described as irresistible. Strange it would be if such a character would be enabled to retain its equilibrium. When Christ said to the Scribes and Pharisees, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone,” he administered a severe rebuke. Burns has preached a sermon from that text worthy of his genius in the poem called “An Address to the Unco Guid or Rigidly Righteous.” O ye wha are sae guid your sel, Sae pious and sae holy, Ye’ve naught to do but mark and tell Your neighbor’s fauts and folly, Ye high exalted virtuous dames, Tied up in godly laces, Before ye gie poor frailties names, Suppose a change of cases, Think when your castigated pulse, Gies now and then a wallop, What raging must his veins convulse, That still eternal gallop. —70— ;S, S.s.'-. . _ '?, S.

Bums wrote his own epitaph and in all the efforts made since there is nothing to equal it. “Is there a man whose judgment clear Can others teach the course to stear, Yet runs himself life's mad career Wild as the wave? Here pause and through the startling tear Survey this grave. The poor inhabitant below, Was quick to learn and wise to know, And keenly felt the friendly glow • And softer flame, But thoughtless follies laid him low And stained his name. Reader attend! whether thy soul Soars fancy’s Might beyond the pole, Or darkling grubs this earthly hole In low pursuit, Know prudent, cautions self control, Is wisdom’s root. If that be wisdom, Burns, thou wast not w ise. I can find no more fitting words w ith which to close than these lines from an American poet, a beautiful tribute to the noble songster. And Burns, though brief the race he ran, Though rough and dark the path he trod, Lived, died, in form and soul a man, The image of his God. lie kept his honesty and truth; 11 is independent tongue and pen, And moved in manhood as in youth, Pride of his fellow' men, A kind true heart, a spirit high; That could not fear and w'ould not bow, Were w'ritten in his manly eye, And on his manly brow'. —71— Course of Study in tfie igh S°hoolf JWIfifJEflPOLiIS, JVJINN.

C C� 1IE scholars of the High School have reason to be proud of their school, occupying as it does, a place in the very highest rank of preparatory schools. The diplomas we receive here on graduation, admit us to many of the best colleges in the United States. Among those of a co-educational class are our own university, with an attendance of over twelve hundred students, and Ann Arbor, the largest university in the Union, having in all its departments about twenty-five hundred students. Those of the young ladies who wish to pursue their studies in a school devoted exclusively to their interests, can enter any of the following:—Wellesley, one of the best schools in the country, having an attendance of over seven-hundred young ladies from all parts of the world; Smith, with its six hundred students; or Vassar, one of the pioneer colleges for women, with an attendance of between three and four hundred. The young gentlemen who are too bashful to attend a co-educational institution, can go to Amherst, where they will find four hundred companions, or to Trinity, with its many attractions. These are a few of the many colleges that will admit us on presentation of our diplomas. A moment’s consideration will convince any of the scholars what an advantage it is to receive a diploma from a school of such high rank. Instead of studying and wearing ourselves out during the vacation, preparing for entrance examinations, wre can rest and have a good time all summer, and in the fall, march up to the proper olficer in the college we have chosen and present our diploma. 74— Table TERMINOI OOY.
