to recite, thus perfecting a rebellion which forever broke up the despotism of the Civics teacher. We are living in hopes that Jennie will not be blown off the High Level Bridge for should such a thing occur, her highly sensitive nature would hardly survive the shock. Jennie never talks much and for that reason makes one of the best listeners, a delight to all teachers who relish attention in class. Ralph Wagoner is another splendid athlete, whom C. II. S. loses this year. It was lie who last year won the individual medal at the County Field meet, the first Con-neauter in many years to carry off this honor. Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of Ralph is his unassuming manner. Kverything is done on the quiet by him. even hie heartiest laughs being of this nature. Wraggie never acted up in American History except to whisper a very little to his seat mate, and on rare occasions, to indulge in a silent chuckle. Lena Walker next occurs to me. a shy timid lass with a clinging manner and woes enough to make an ordinary person thin. But Lena is -certainly no ordinary person. Though her name would signify it. she is no piker but is “Johnnie on the spot whenever michief of any kind is afloat. Among the most prominent of her antics 1 might mention th amusement she created while reading her serious Junior essay. How her eyebrows did rise and fall, how her dimples came and went, how her lisp stuck in her throat, and how hei knees and paper shook ! Nevertheless we enjoyed it and that amply repaid Lena. Then there was the impromptu presentation speech which she tendered to Miss Lett as an accompaniment to the donation of a watermelon, guaranteed uneatable, and carefully engraved. Lena is very much interested in Pages but evidently they do not belong to her school books, and there is something of the mysterious about her for she has never recounted the manner in which she raised her physics grade. Forest Walrath is one of those long drawn out fellows who remind us pleasantly of after-dinner toothpicks, high ideals, and, in this particular instance of “long green” for Forry is our class treasurer and a good one he is. : one time he thought Lena and he would make a good team, but for some reason they didn't hitch very well. Soon there were no more readings of German, nights after school, and Forrv's heart flew out to the ranks of the Alumni. Xow 1 think that is all. but hold on, just wait. Oh yes, there is Katherine, mostly called Kate. Though Katie is from the country you would never know it for she is certainly not dull and if coaxed insistently she would display her accurate knowledge of German. She is always talking about the “ages of parallelopopeds” (edges of parallelopopedsl and telling us how she was “becomin highly eddicated for she was beginning to put on her g's.” She played catch a great deal with Bessie and last year evinced much interest in the Field meet, although she did not go for fear that she would “git to rcadin the signs and fall down.” So endeth the history of the class sent forth from the old Broad Street Building. But before we take leave of you. there yet remains one duty to perform, that of disposing of cur superfluities. To the Freshmen we bequeath our defects, great or small. May they overcome them as we have done; to the Sophomores—empty headed gabblers—the well deserv ed animosity of a finished product; to the Juniors our stainless reputation, to keep pure and undefiled; to the beloved teachers our heartiest thanks, and good wishes for the tuture. May these grateful partakers of our bounty enjoy their activities in the new building as we have done in the old. which is now given over to the defacements, disfigurements and despoliations of the modern Assyrians—those uncouth denizens of the grades; from which, marvelous to say. seniors are developed, to whom, instead of a beloved institution our 28
