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. To some these little incidents of our Senior year will be as passing dreams g 'to others who are haunted . by the bright flr years. bring a rea the occasion may COINC. other inte Y A
