THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-THREE. BY LILLIAN CORRIS, iO3. VVho walks around with learned looks Derived from knowledge gleaned from books? One answer only can there be, It is the class of nineteen-three. Wfhen first they came, they were so green, Some thought such verdure ne'er was seen. But now they shine with ray so bright, This class is simply out of sight. They never let their lessons lag, Nor get their Latin with a nag. Of fun they never miss a bit, These heads so full of keenest wit. In nineteen-three, there not a prig, But all have earned the name of dig They sit up nights and study late, And thus with knowledge fill the pate. And then, when into class they go, Of course their lessons they all know. They answer with such graceful ease, That daily they their teachers please. In years to come, throughout this town, This class will surely win renown. And oh! how proud each one will be To say, l'm one of nineteen-three. 18

The Alumni Palrty FOUND myself on the night of December thirtieth entering the doors of East High School. It was the night of the Alumni party. It was a joyful occasion to see old familiar faces once more and clasp the hands of old-tiine friends. Even as I entered I could hear voices, and merry laughter coming to me from the upper halls. I hastened to dispose of my wraps, and then to find the crowd of merry-makers. Yes, there they were, groups of them here and there, all talking as only old friends can. Everywhere I turned well-known faces greeted my sight. For a short time the filling of programmes occupied our attention, and then we went to the Gym which had been the scene of many such happy times. It, too, like all the rest of us, was in gala attire, resplendent in its dress of royal blue and gold, with japanese lanterns hung about. to give it a more festive appearance. Rosenthal's orchestra, which had been hired for the occasion, soon commenced a lively two-step. It would not be in the nature of man to keep his feet still while such music was being played, and so many a youth and many a maidn joined in the dance. And at each succeeding dance our feet seemed to grow lighter, and our hearts more joyous. VVhen Molly Shannon was played a great many sang How would you like to be me ? but everyone was too happy in being himself to wish to be anybody else. And there were refreshments also, served in Mr. VVood's room on the third Hoof. They, too, were fully appreciated. So the evening of the Alumni reunion passed, and the music of I'Iome, Sweet Home was played all too soon. The pleasure of meeting old schoolmates, and enjoying a social hour with them had come-and gone-as such pleasures will. ALUMNI OFFICERS. I-Iarvey Herkes, P1'c'sidr'nt. Mary Irvine, Vice President.
