marj, our colors, Coral and Grey, and for our flowers, Pink Carnations. The only important happening after this was our class party. NVe found, on returning at the beginning of our 1918-'19 term, that only about twenrty-six of our origiinial nuimber eh-ad returned. NVe also discovered, 'to 'our great sorrow, that we had lost our beloved Miss McCurdy, and that Miss Hickernell would reign in her stead, 'thalt Mr. Fuller had gone to do war work, and instead of him we were to have Miss Attwood. Our Sophomore term was not very eventful, and if the truth were confessed, the term was not enjoyed nearly so much as the first year had been. just the exact reason for this would be rather hard to find, but it seemed as though nothing We could do was satisfactory, no matter who we did it for. Then, just about the middle of the year, Miss Stewart left us and Miss flattman came to rule in Room 3, Miss Stewart's former domain. We had a Christmas Bazaar, which was very successful, about one hundred dollars being realized after the bills were paid. So much for our second year in High. There is no time like the present. Thus it comes that I have re- served the last part of this interesting t?Aj epistle for the best part of our school career, the present junior year. To 'begin with, we found that only one member of the former faculty had come back, and that was Miss Ritten- house. Our new principal, Mr. Murray, to whom we are now most devoted, took Mr. Lim'ber's place, and we were informed that he would also be our instructor in Music. Then downstairs we found two new members on the staff, Miss 'Frey and Mr. Watigaxnan. One of our first discoveries this term was that our report teacher, Mr. Murray, loved all the boys, and that he thinks his juniors are just about the best things ever invented. XVe have instituted some new customs in our class, and we have set a new example for our successors, in that we are wearing our class rings this year, instead of waiting until next year when there will be so much more expense, so you see we juniors know 'how to practice economy, too. Say, do you believe it pays to advertise? lf you don't, it is plain to be seen that you did not see the Hfarcical fact as presentedqby the juniors on March 31st, It Pays To Advertise. But I know that most of my readers did see that play, and that they have already passed their favorable or un- favorable opinions on the subject, so we'll let you rest in peace, and not embarrass you by asking you to state publicly your private views. As this last mentioned affair was our last move towards keeping up the standards of our class, you will just have to possess your souls in patience to see what we do next, and tfhen maybe another year you will have some- one to write you a history of this noble band, that won't be as wearisome as itlhis one is. Auld may I take this opportunity 'to than'k you for having read this, for I know it must have just about exhausted your supjvly of patience. T.. vi l i 1 i 1 1 l l 1 i l .f
