Ollass JItstorg Some four years ago, in the fall of ' 15 a queer little airship alighted on the campus at C. 8. N. S. The number below was ' 16, and on the top, but not so evident was the number ' 19. The passengers scrambled out and the pilot, Mr. Humphreys by name, conducted liis strange crew into Seminary Hall. Here they regis- tered and were classed as Freshmen inmates of 0. S. N. S. Gradually the vivid green of their appearance sobered down and they began to talk to each otlier. (People in charge say they have been talk- ing ever since.) Each year the little airship returned, but each year the name was different, with the number below increased by one. Often it brought new members, but left behind a few of the old ones. When it came l)earing the name Junior and the number 17, there was an unusually large crew and it had to weather many storms and rise above many clouds. Now with the name Senior, and the number 19, both above and below, and the same faithful pilot, the little flyer returned this year. It shows the marks of storm and stress, and is battle scarred, but it has won many honors. Its cre ' is getting heavy from the ponderous knowledge which they have absorbed within the scholarly walls of Clarion State Normal. Pros]iects are that nthin another year our sturdy little craft will be free from the buffetings of the wind and the storm, and that our valiant band will be scattered over many places to do many great and nol)le deeds. Long may the fatiie of the Class of 19 live in the annals of Clarion and always may Ave look back with love and pride upon our Alma Mater.

Oilass Poem Clarion, the school we love so Avell — ' Tis time we needs must say farewell To all the jojons hours of work and play, AVhere fun and fellowship hold etjnal sway. Many hard lessons we here have learned, Many rewards and merits we earned. We ' ve learned the difficult rule of give and take. Always to do the right for honour ' s sake. We ' ve learned to value the things truly worth while; To meet the world with a cheer and a smile; To liave for our friends, a briglit bit of song To iielp them iiurry dark days along. AVith hearts sincere and words of truth We leave our happy friends of youth. And nineteen comes to bid adieu And leaves her dear old school to you. ] ut ever our tiiot ' s will be of thee As we lauucli our bark on life ' s waiting sea, And befoi-c the waves around us swell, To you, deal- Clarion, we say, F;i)-ewell.
