Where rustling page, and whispers low, subdued, , Scarce broke the quiet of the stately halls Which six brief months before had rendered back The echoes of a thund'ring industry. e 'Twas there our drama had its source unique. J There, there we worked and played, sorrowed, rejoiced, l Lived, moved, and had our being. Week on week , Slid by until we found ourselves advanced To sophomores.

Appreciation Mr. Eddy became acting principal upon the departure of Mr. Wilcox for Europe. He proved an able successor in every vvay, and he has been truly missed this term. Mr. Partridge was principal ofthe Goodman Street Annex when the Class ofjanuary 191.5 entered-the first class to tread the halls of the Chiclet Factory. He was a close friend in those far-off days, and the mutual interest has remained to the present. Mr. Studley became the boys' home-room teacher and advisor when the class moved to the main building for the freshman final term. It was he who directed the first organization of the class, and though we have not seen much of him of late, the class still remembers him and feels his influence. 14 GEORGE E. EDDY EARL A .
