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—

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; • .
