The class as a whole has as-sisted materially in making this book a success and the editors desire to thank them for their hearty co--operation. To Henry Wach- ter, president of the class, great credit is due for his untiring efforts to further the interests- of the class book. The class of ,QQ points with pride to the fact that the two previous classes issued no class book to keep their memory green CFU arnd it is the sincere wish of ,QQ -that, beginning with this year, the class book may be an annual feature so that posterity may read with pleasure Qand profitj the pranks and jokes practiced by their gra.ndmothers, and great OD grandfathers. the present green Freshmen, giddy Sofphomores, im- portant Juniors' or Qworst of alll the most potent, rev- erend and grave Seniors. i The editors wish to commend the excellent work of the Union Printing Company, the publishers of this book, and to assure future classes that all work given to this company by them will receive careful atten- tion. ' Those seeking for literary gems, arnd polished fig- ures of speech, are requested to close the book at once for their search will be in vain. The o-nly claim that the editors make for this bo-ok is that it contains :1 faithful account of all the joys and 'sorrows found in four years of school- life.

'9xlYfF f f 3 crass or NINETY-NINE. py is that people whose annals are short, the same brilliant pupil alnswered, lt means that the children are happy because they don't have to study so much history. The other day we were reading Haw- thorne's Feathertop, who was a scarecrow trans- formed into- a living being by witchcraft. He was much admired for his elegant manners, his title and fine dress. Amo-ng his admirers was a young lady who fell desperately in love with this living scarecrow. A young gentleman, on being asked for the moral of the story, said it showed that American girls would marry anything to get a. title. Even in that dead and dlusty language, Latin, we do not lack merriment when we can translate, 'fFabricius cenabat ad focum radices- et .herbasfy Fabricius ate radishes and greens before his hearth. i But we have not spent all our'time in making bright remarks, for at last camethe great contest be- tween the Seniors and Juniors when we were guyed so shamefully and unjustly by the Sophomores-and others. Why this should have been we do not know. All the other classes had held meetings, elected of- w ficers and chosen colo-rs and yellsg while we had se- lected only o-ur colors and yell, thinking it unneces- sary to elect officers. We chose red and yellow for our colors so that we might wipe out the disgrace attached to these beauti- ful tints. But the other classes failed to realize our noble purpose and instead of admiring us they have called us Spaniards ever since. But we have learned many things from those above us. They tell us that a pony is a much abused animal ridden by Seniors and collegemen, and that it is de- rived from the Latin poena, punishment-if caught. We do not know what they mean, but will know when we are Seniors. But we have had to learn some things for ourselves. Most of us have learne.d to con- jugate the verb flunk in all persons, numbers and mo-ods-mostly in the unfortunate persons, infinite number and despondent mood. 'We have also found it best always to laugh at the teachers' jokes. although some of them should be reverenced on account of their age. It helps a grade along to make friends with the teachers. .L i. 4, , In composition pathetic story aj nearly succeeded effect was broker read, And the pl tin cans and evgrr hands on at Appl-- roar of laughter, N-51155 while we had se- ell, thinking it unneces- Of Qur colors so that WG attached to these beauti- sses failed to realize our i admiring us thel' have 'e. things from those above is a inuch abused animal Qemen. and that it is de- punishment-if caught' ?v mean, but will know the have had to learn son16 of us have learne.d to con- all persons, numbers and Drtunate persons, infinite md, lYe have also found Q teachers' jokes. although 'everenced on account Ol lie algng to make friends CLASS OIF NINETY-NINE. 9 In composition .a. young lady.once tried to Write a pathetic story about the death of Virginia. She nearly succeeded in moving the class to tears, but the effect was broken by one expression, for when she read, And the plebs were so- angry that they threw tin cans and eve-rything else that they could lay their hands on at Appius Claudius, the class burst into a roar of laughter. Another young lady in writing a composition on the Battle of Lake Regillus had bul- lets flying through the air. And now in conclusion, we thank the Seniors for the delicate ho-nor paid to the Freshmen's literary ability in giving us o-nly one week to Write our class history, while the other classes had to have much longer.. We apprecia.te the compliment. However, we try not to be too much elated and sign ourselves humbly, your obedient, A FRESHIES. L12iHi2'f.

Juniors The Junior class is a hard class for any historian to do justiceg it is a class consisiting of sixty- two pretty girls,and twenty-two bright boys. Early in the year a class meet- ing was called, to organize the class, and elect class offi- cers. Milton Barash was elected presi- dentg Mabel Sanders, vice-presidentg Lucia Packard secretary, and Alan Van Natta, class historian. Red and white were chosen for the class colors, and our yell was: Hullabaloo, Hooray-Hooray, VVe are a class that's all O. K. Never a class- so hot, so hot, As the class of nineteen hundred and naughty- naught. It was from this yell we received the nickname The so hot hots. It was peculiar to notice that in no matter what kind of a contest, the so hot hots were always in the lead. In the athletic contest among the classes. of the High School the Junior class won without any trouble, having some of the best athletes in the High School. Mr. T. M.

In-deed it is really alarming to think ho-w brillia.nt some Juniors are. a When we look at the Freshmen and' Sophomore classes of to-day we think of how Miss Rhoades and Miss Porter must sigh for another class like that of Nineteen hundred. The principal events of the year were the declaim- 'x ..- A N INETY-NINE. t I5 ing contest, the High School field day, the sending of a team to Columbia to co-mpete for a cup against the other High Schools o-f the State, the class picnic to the lake, and the orthoepical contest between the juniors and Seniors. We have been a mischievous and misbehaving class at times, but for the most part we have been steady and hardworking. In all it has been a happy year, with but one misfortune, the death of our be- loved classmate and fellow student Zella Wright. And so we wish to close, thanking the Senior class for giving us- an opportunity of expressing ourselves. We wish them good luck in whatever branch of study or work they take up after graduating.

We have now come to the end o-f our sojourn in the High School, anidi it with pleasure that we review our stay here. How well we remember that bright September morning four years ago when, with great fear and trembling, we made our way into the St. Jo- seph High Scho-ol. Qur older brothers and sisters assumed a very dignified air before us., and laughed at our mistakes, but we consoled ourselves with the thought that they had o-nce had the same experience The teachers greeted us very kindly and did all in their power to make us feel at home in our new abode. In- a few weeks the school was running smoothly, and we had begun to realize the great work that was be-- fore us. VVe determined, however, to overcome all difficulties and make a record that none could sur- pass. There was little to break the monotony of study until near the end of the year, when the new High l if s.it.s-..,'sfTfif5!W-22?-ff'f2'iZf.+sfS5.faif.n -it-21 1. 1. eff- A - I3 CLASS or NINETY-NINE. Scho-ol was completed and ready for us. For such a beautiful new building we were all very grateful, and felt that we should show our appreciation by our dili-- gent work. Soon came the ed-fedication, which brought large crowds of visito-rs to the school. Then there were fire drills to test the new fire escape. Who- will ever forget the peculiar sensation experienced on the first descent! With this and watching for every straggling cloud that appeared, to see if it were not the warning of an .approaching cyclo-ne, which meant that the school would be dismissed for the day, the first year soon wore away. There is one mo-re occur- rence I must mention. The names of the classes were changed, and we were no longer. Preparatory stu- dents, but had the more dignified name of Freshmen. This pleased: us greatly, for no maftter how much the juniors would drawl out the name Freshmen it was not as disagreeable as to hear them say Preps After a long and tiresome vacation we came cheer- fully back to school. So-me o-f our Senior friends had to-ld us that this was the easiest year of the whole course, and if we wanted to have a.ny fun, we must have it now. As. we were eager to make as good a record as any o-ther class-in all branches-we will- ingly accepted any advice. VVe found there had been some changes in the school since the last year. YW: had lost several of our old -teachers-, anld' had new ones to take theirplaces. Qur firsit duty, of course, was to give these teachers a welcome and acquaint ourselves with their manner of marking. There was nothing of special note took place until after the holidays, when we formed some societies to take part in the annual contests. The class was ably represented in the contests and carried off one or two prizes. The Treason all the medals did not come to the Sopho-mo-relclass was probably due to some defi- ciency on the part of the judges. We were satisfied. however, with our sh-are of the honor. Always- fearing the overworking of our brains we looked forward to the days when circuses would come to- town, for we relied on kind-hearted principals looking favorably upon a petition, which was always sure to make its way to his hand-s before time for the parade.

Wfhen we returned to school the next year, we were sorry to find tha.t a great many of our number had chosen some other course in life. Again we saw some pleasant new faces among the corps of teachers, and on better acquaintance' found them to be as aamiable as their faces had indicated. After a very few lessons had been assigned us, we realized that to be a Junior meantito work. This did not frighten us, and we set- tleidf down to work with untiring energy.

The messages were generally ont the order of Read lo-ud or you will be put backxin the text book, or NVas the test hard ? When the troops were being called to take part in the war with Spain some of the members of our class felt that they were ca.lled upon to- defenfd their coun- try, so they heroically enlisted. lt is true, none of them were sent, but they showed their bravery in of- fering to go.

It CLASS or NINETY-NINE 21 OUR SENIOR YEAR just four years. ago a new class of boys and girls entered the High School-say High' School if you will, but it was rather a newiworld. A new path of knowledge opened up to us, showing us new fields to conquer. Finally, after three yearsof toil, we passed from the Junior into- the Senior clafss, anid with an air of such deep knowledge as we fear, few of us haveiyet attainedg but VVhen ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be be wisef' Yet I think that each one of us felt his heart beat with a mingled feeling of pride and rever- ence on. becoming enrolled as a member of that class which had, for a. long time, been regarded by us as the highest pinnacle of glory. Our Senior year has been a very jo-yful and helpful friend, indeed, and the trialsa and difficulties which she has prescribed have been more than compensated for by the pleasure and wisdom we have received from her discipline. Her trials have been prescribed inthe form of extremely l-ong lessons, when the grass was green and the sky was blue, On such occasions. we 7' ii A t A el, , :jr it -' -'vA Qi.

CLASS OF NINETY-NINE. Two of our members have felt the desolating hand of so-rrow such as o-nly comets when the. home circle is bereft and hearts are stricken. Health has failed others just as they were reaching the goal of their am- bition-the graduate's chair. VVe miss the absentones, and though absent in person, they are present in our hearts. i ' But turning from the dark picture to- the bright ones. Asa class, we have been characterized by our faculty for grasping new ideas and cairryin-g them to a successful issue. As witness our Arbor Day exercises, when ah beautiful maple was planted as our class tree. In after years when members of the class are wo-rn with the trials and difficulties of the world, they will seek, no doubt, under its protecting shelter, surcease from sorrow and perhaps fdream o-f the time when theselo- quence of our president so ably dedicated it to the High School and the future. The contest held in April was the mo-st successful ever given, the medals being won, as usual, by the Seniors.

When, with pale pitating hearts, with the perspiratio-n -streaming from our faces, we awaited the decision of the judges, the old saiying echoed and re-echoed through our minds, The heart distrustful asks, can this be bliss ?,' On Memorial Day the class was requested to sing at the exercises held at Krug park. We san-g our best, not only at the park, but on the way home we delight- ed the residents of Grand avenue and Main street with Selections from our extensive repertoire. Cn the fol- lowing Monday we were treated to a trolley ride. And such a ride as that wars! To say we enjoyed it would be to express our feeling but feebly. VVe sang every- thing from Whistling Rufus t-o comic opera, and gave our class yell until we were hoarse. Beans, pop- corn a.nd peanuts were scattered promisciously about. Several of our class artists favored us with solos, and at II olclock we retired, a very tired but happy crowd. The orthoepical contest given under the auspices of the Junior and Senior classes was one of the best ever held in the High School. Both, sides did excellent work. We feel justly proud of one member especially, Miss Mary Lee Kemper, who sto-od for a long time against three juniors, andipro- nounced the most difficult words with perfect ease. Although against tsuch odds it was almost impo-ssible for her to win. VVei feel, nevertheless, that she scored a great victory, and she has the most sincere co-ngratu-- lations of the whole class. Qur class meetings have been decidedly interesting efsrpecially the one at which the girls -alone were re- quested to be present to decidte on the manner of tak- ing provision to the class picnic. Qur vice-president had the chair, and pleaded for order again- and again. but in vaiin. Every member had a decided view of the manner of taking lunch, Motion after motion was n qi f '4' A ' - ' Q2 -.fff 'g -- 24 cLAss or suggested, but was- either promptly defeated or ig- nored. Finally the members adjourned with a vague idea that there was to be a picnic at the lake, thart we must eat while there, but as to how the lunches were to be prepared and taken, there wasagreat doubt. -Now a word about svome of the prominent members of the class. The diversity of their talents is so re- markable that one becomes lost in a maze when trying to enumerate them. VVe have among our number to- night a young gentleman whose talent in cake-walk- ing is so remarkable that no doubt he will seriously consider mafking this his future occupation. Not only has his skill in this direction been the wonder and ad- miration of the cla.ss, but his languishing smiles at a certain young lady have caused a great deal of amuse- ment. Miss Shaeferlsf arduous labors. have not been lost on this youth, at least. His devotion to physics, in the abstract, is remarkable. Calmly sitting, one day, with arms folded, with no books in sight, he was asked to explain the phenomenon of disappearance of said articles. He answered in a clear tone, They've evap- oratedf' N-INETY-NINE.

One young gallant invited two young ladies to go to the country on a, nutting expedition. But, atlas! In- stead of gathering luscious nuts to delight the palate the nut came off the wheel of the buggy, causing a te- dious tramptof seven miles over timber and barbwire fences. Mo-ral: Look well to the nuts on the buggy wheels, young man, before inviting young ladies to go nutting. ' i K The young ladies. of the class, as well as the young men, have contributed their share of wit and humor. One miss hats had a peculiar idea of the place of resi- dence in the ancient Tartars. She very innocently placed their abode in Hades. - Ano-ther young lady was of the opinion that beauty was often an acconipanimient of virtue. Wlien asked for proof she gave such a conclusive one that no one in the future will doubt the close relationship of these two characteristics. She said: The proof is evident. Look about -you. Now, Milt-on possessed these two qualities to a certain degree. She was forced to stop. In her illusion to the great po-et, the modesty of one of our members was shocked' and his embarrassment was pitiable. ' Still another young lady member of the Senior Latin class insisted on pronouncing the word auspices with the penult long and strongly accented, thereby mixing the culinary art with the Latin tongue, to the great detriment of the latter. Our class has never quite recovered from the shock which it received when the motio-n was under discus- sion of inviting some of the young gentlemen mem- bers of the Junior and Sophomore classes to our Se- nior picnic, not ostensibly for our own happiness or pleasure, but just to give said young men a taste of high life and Senior joys. It was at this time that one of o-ur most demure and charming members so far for- got her prudence and sedateness as to emphatically ex- claim: Uh, yesg take them. Be sure to invite them, It is whispererd selfish m-o-tives and not a benevolent one prompted said outcry. It is, in the whole, a good thing for some of our NINETY-NINE. members that the Senior year has been brought to a close, fo-r the beautiful ro-ses sent to a certain miss whose Christian name is that of a. certain precious stone by a certain youth might have led to startling re- sults. - Another miss who boasts of beauty, such as the gods might envy, has been politely requested by her teacher not to ca.st so many gla-nces at a certain part of the ro-om. One miss who is exceedingly petite was asked by the principal to give the long vowels. She arose and spoke' very innocently, you and I are long. This was not intended by the young lady as a joke, but was received a.s such by the class, and highly appreciated. Another young lady whose age is not very great has distinguished herself by going headforemost down the fire escape. VVe are glad to add that she has fully recovered from the shock, and at last report was in a state of perfect health.

As a result we have a creditable foot ball tesam, a well equipped gymnasium, and our track athletic team holds the inter-scholastic championship of the State of Missouri. FQOT BALL. y The foot ball eleven of one year ago was one- o-f the best that ever represented the school, playing a num- ber of games with older and heavier teams, with a very small percentage of defe.ats. But owing to the gradua- tio-n of almost the entire eleven we were unable to form as heavy a team this year, and so confined ourselves to forming a strong eleven amo-ng the lower classes, with an eye to future develo-pment. As a result, the eleven, altho-ugh light, was remarkably well trained, and made a good record in a number of local games. The only out-o-f-to-wn game schedule:d wa.s with the Atchison Business College, but when the team assembled at the station, it was found that the pro-mised transportation x if ffiffffif 'V' P' 32 CLASSCHTNI had not been furnished, so that we, made wise by past experience, decided to stay at home. , We expect that our team next year will break all previous records, combining scientific foo-t ball with clean pl-aiying and gentlemanly conduct. GYMNASIUM. Through the libenality of the Board o-f Education, our gymnasium was fitted out,during the last vacation with all apparatus necessary for all aro-und physical de- velopment. It soon became a favorite resort, espe- cially during the winter months, .and many of o-ur stu- dents made rapid strides in the study of gymn.astics. Harry Peterman, on the vaulting horse, and Frank Puette, on the parallel bars, were the stars of our class, although several others pushed them very clo-sely for honors. The greatest interest was taken in basket ball. Teams were organized in each of the three upper classes, and a very exciting tournament resulted.

VVe then formed an athletic team, and on May 28, 1898, met the Y. M. C. A. in a contest for the cham- pionship -of the city. Suffice it to say that the score was 765 to 315 points, in our favor. This year, as the Y. M. C. A. refused to meet us again, we decided to send a team to Columbia to com- pete for the state championship of High Schools and Academies. Our field day was held on April 24th, and was an unqualified success. The attendance was large, most of the records of last year were broken, and the en- thusiasm was unbo-unded.

SOCIETIES During our Senior year the societies have lan- guished because of lack of time on the part of the stu- dents. Not being able to give sufficient time to the preparation of suitable programmes for entertainments it was thought best to permit the societies to die out rather than have them existing but with no life or en-- ergy. During our junior year, however, a great interest was manifested by all in the societies. The literary and secret societies were the Gamma Sigma and the Pi Kappa Pi. The only officers from the class of ,QQ were Harry Peterman, vice-president of the Gamma Sigma, Julia Floyd, secretary of Gamma Sigma, Goldie Mo- rey, chaplain of Gamma Sigma, Harry King Tootle vice-president of Pi Kappa Pi. Gamma Sigma co-lors were dark green and white, while the Pi Kappa Pi were known by their co-lo-rs of orange and black. The third societyithen existing in the High School was the Adelphic, a society organized fo-r the purpose of .debate. ' The third annual inter-society contest took place in the High School Auditorium on Friday evening, April 15, 1898, with all three societies participating. Mr. James Abercro-mbie, '98, a member of the Gam- ma Sigma society, wo-n the oirthoepical contest and re-- ceived the M. A. Davis prize. The ess.ay contest was won by Miss Helen Rich Lyon, a former member of '99. The prize was a. g-old medal awarded by Judge W. K. James. The B. R.

Mr. Milton Barash, 1900, received the'M. A, Davis prize, a valuable edition of Go-ldsmith's works-. On April 14, 1899, under the direction of Mrs. Trav- ers, a declamation co-ntest to-ok place for the medals presented by Mr, B, R. Vineyard and Mr. Theodore Hoagland. The B. R. Vineyard go-ld jeweled medal was award-- ed to Miss Nellie Fisher, '99, Miss Lillian Westheimer, 1900, receiving the Vineyard silver jeweled medal. The Theo'd'ore Hoagland gold jeweled medal, of- fered fo-r the best humorous selection, was wo-n by Miss Edith Michelson, '99, Miss Bessie Cahn, '99, to-ok the Hoagland silver jeweled medal. I Early in the spring of 'QQ two debating societies were formed, the Clio club, a girl's society, and the Alpha Nu Pi, a boy's club. However no one from the class of '99 was a member of either society. In the de- bate be-tween th.e societies the Alpha Nu Pi won on their team work, and Miss Katherine M. C. Taney, a member of the Clio- club and one of the brightest mem- bers of IQOT, won the W, K. james me-dal for the best individual debater. .1-.wilt 0'!A.3'.. imma vh- CLASS OF NINETY-NINE.

She has spent most of her life at her home in this city arnd in the scho-ol room. Auburn haired, quiet, mo-dest, unobtrusive, thus we knew her in school.

This brown-haired, blue-eyed maiden was born May 4, I88O, in dear old St. Joseph, that beautiful city which always has been, is now, and always will be her home. She was ever of a quiet and retiring dis- po-sition, until in o-ur Senior year, she brought herself before the no-tice o-f the class by her original Latin trans-lations. Miss Flo-yd is very partial to Latin and we predict a brilliant success if she could be persuaded to publish an original translation of 6'Qvid. But atlas! the retiring dispositionsbefore mentioned pre- vents her and in the near future a neat shingle bearing the words, 'fMiss Floyd's Kindergarten may plainly be seen above the-doo-r of a well known building. , TENA FRIEDE. :'She never talked but to advantage.

She first learned the art of learning lessons in the W.afshington School, where her rec-ord is as fine.as in -the High School. She is inclined to be a Metho-dist, but not a fanatic. She would make an elegant teacher, for she does not talk more than an hour at a time, but she has not decided her occupation. H GRACE MERCEDES KEYS. For softness she, and sweet attractive grace. This young lady, to whom the name Grace seemS especially appropriate on account of her graceful bear-V ing, was born in Frederick, Ia., Dec. 23, 1881. She is a Republican and Presbyterian. Elocution is her fa- vorite study, and she states that in the future she will make a study of physical culture and may one day teach Delsarte in the High School. She is a brunette and very popular among her schoolmates. MARY LEE KEMPER. A perfect woman, nobly planned To Warn, to comfort and command And yet a spirit still and bright i With something of angelic iight. This lovely girl was born in St. I-oseph and is one of our most beloved and learned classmates. She to-ok the fifth honor and received honorable mention in the Daily News contest. From several 'slips of the tongue we feel justified in saying that this young lady will scorn a life of single blessedness. We hope that her life may be a long and happy one and that she will win the success 'she so richly desewes. 1 l i i A A 4 .vi s -w i. vi ,. if V' pf gi. aft al I ' R 'llifl ,., 3 I I I 4 V 5 3 ll all lzligj liilz I-il . 13. wilt: 1 .3i'7 iii. .Wi ' lid? ug will . , . if . l 253.5 S I uE5'lf.'1ii i ng A' ' ' .

SUSIE LAWRENCE. Favors to none, to all she smiles extends. Oft she regrets, but never once offends. The subject of this sketch firstbeheld the light of day in St. Joseph in the year 1880. She is of English ancestry and of decidedly Republican tastes. Few girls have enjoyed High School life better than she. As a student she was always known to keep silence- when her tea-cher's eyes were upon her. If her teach'- er's eyes were in another direction, her mind was in a different direction too-from silence. V And many a word she spoke or note she wrote. She has not decided her future vocation but will no doubt develop into an excellent housekeeper, spread- ing the table always for two.

Memory was tapping at my doorway that morning for entrance, and as I bade her welcome, I saw she was accompanied by a stranger whom she introduced to ime as Imagination-a mo-st charming maiden, whose exquisite gown of roseate hue, richly embro-id- ered in pearls from the orient of youth, at once at- tracted my attention. They had come to escort me to a beautiful abode, Castles-in-the-Airf, presided over by Futurity. As we entered this unique dwelling place, I beheld a mammoth apparatus, which I was told was a cineto- idildm?-N-K . r f . 74 CLASS OF NINETY-NINE. graph the property of Futurity, and manipulated by Imagination. I was also informed that this machine was used so-lely for the purpo-se of producing pictures of graduates taken from sicenes of the future. Imme- diately I begged for the favor o-f viewing pictures from the future life of students of our Senior class. Imag- ination answered, Your request will b-e granted if you comply with three conditions: First, believe that all these pictures will come true, secondl, return to your classmates, describe the pictures exactly as you have seen them and make your classmates believe in their truth g .and third, when you depart from this 'place you must never return. No sooner had I promised to fulfill all of these requirements than there was a buzzing sound in my ear, a great light flashed across the room and upon the wall was hung a huge White canvas screen. My interest was at once awakened as a lovely maid- en in flowing robes moved o-ver the canvass, her hair was brown and curly and in her hand she carried an ac- cordeon. A little monkey danced' by her side, and as her head turned to-ward me, I beheld Ethel E. VVelty, our class valedictorian-. I I had scarcely recovered from the shock, when be- fore me appeared a scene from a woman's club. Eight members were se-ated togther, and they seemed ex- ceedingly talkative, for their lips. moved continually. They were the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and upon a sm.all banner which their lead- er held, Iread in bold, black letters, Lydia Iesberg, Emma Golden, Louise Hoffman, Birdie Iuda, Susie Lawrence, K-ate Schwab, Tena Frieda and Idella Latto. ' Then came a view of a flower garden. Roses of every co-lor were to be seen. A convalescent walked among then1,gathering agbouquet. The glory of health had painted her cheeks tocalmost the pink tint of the flowers she held in her hand. To my intense pleasure I learned th.at this study was Co-ra Po-indexter, perfect- ly restored to health. The next picture was a scene from war.

The latter was on the balcony, and by her romanitc gesticulation was soo-n recognized as Adabelle Rollier. As Romeo was hidden, I could not learn his name. A marriage scene followed. Rhonda Edwards-a city belle--and a Philippine soldier were the contract- ing parties. My astonishment knew no bounds when the light turned and a dancing academy in Atchison was dis- played. Two very graceful assistants to the master were endeavoring to teach some rustic Kansas youths to trip the light fantastic. The two followers of Terp- sichore proved to be Goldie Morey and Bessie Cahn. A pair o-f medallions was next reflected 0-n the can- vas.. The world's two greatest celebrities-a singer and an actress-Erma Newburger and Lillian VV est- heimer, successors to Nordica and Adelina. Patti. Then c.ame the 'moving picture of a circus ring. Thousand of spectators' were waving their handker- who notwithstandlng the paint and skull cap he wore, was recognized as. Preble Hall. A A class in physical culture in a small school house near the stockyards was. soon presented, and as I closely watched the moving features of the gray- haired teachers, I saw that they were Misses Fay Dun- can .and Carolyn Dudley. The city council in session next elicited my atten- tion, and as the president finished his address calling for appropriations for a new city jail I discovered that the speaker was the bright and genial president of 0-ur class, Henry Wachter. Hannah Winston teaching music to the children in the Kindergarten was a pretty little picture I could not help but a-dlmire. ' A wearied, thin and cross-looking old man known in youth as Charles Fraser was at last seen on the can- vas, teaching a class rhetoric in Elwood. The pupils were all very happy and held in their hands a book, '2Poems and Lyrics by Bessie Stuppyf' 1 . g +i 1 as 76 CLASS OF NINETY-NINE. I was just wo-ndering why so few boys were seen, when Imagination rapped her pointer and said,i Look well, for here is a picture of the mos-t renowned hero in all the classes of ninety-nine-a modern Sir XfValter Raleigh, who would not only throw his coat down in order to prevent a lady from getting her feet muddly. but would actually carry her across the street. His gallantry is going to lead him to rescue some maiden from a burning building, and his reward will be to lead her to the altar. Strange to- say, he is a namesake of the poet Milton, and his lasrt name is pronounced Lowenstein. , S I was so highly delighted with the moving pictures of the future that I did no-t know twilight was begin- ning to come on, but Memory touched me on the shoulder and bade me depart for fear that darkness would overtake me and Silence stea.l me and bear me off to his home, Used-to-Be, in the street of Keep- stillf' and I be prevented from telling the strange fu- ture that is in store for some of us.

The consensus of opinion as expressed by those in attendance at previous banquets given by the association, was that this was the finest ever given, an-d reflected much credit upon the com- mittee having it in charge. Especially is praise due Mrs. Vllilliam Floyd, Miss Edith Rhoades, secretary. and Mr. R. H. Jordon, treasurer, whose artistic taste and ingenuity designed the elaborate -dlecorations. The gymnasium hall was the scene of the banquet, and the walls and ceiling were a study. From the cen-ter pillars bunting in the club colors, which were dark blue and white, was- festooned to the four corners and sides of the great room. The walls were almost envelo-ped in flags, shields and portraits. The 'latter being in groups of three, representing the Revolu- tionary war, the civil war and the Spanish-American war.. The first to meet the eye were Washington, Adams and Jefferson. On the south wall were Robert Lee, Grant and Lincoln.
