ture discovered by herself in the laboratory —which since that day has changed her complexion most wonderfully for the better. 16th. We give and bequeath to the Juniors our chemistry laboratory equipments and our note books which have caused us so much pain and toil. In addition to this we give them the secret—which it took us almost four years to discover—how to “work the teachers,” and especially are we prepared on how to work Mr. Howell.” We nereby constitute and appoint the High School Teddy Bear sole executor of this our last will and testament.

CLASS POEM Yes, the sands of time are falling Thru life’s hour-glass day by day, To the Junior now recalling Days and deeds long passed away. Days when we together entered Life and work in E. H. S. Every mind on study centered (?) Crowned at last with full success. Until then we’d been the Freshmen Scorned by all the higher folk, Yet no banner of the classmen More proudly faced each cutting joke. But now before we near believed One year had pased of four, With tasks and tests both well achieved Our class became the Sophomore. ’Twas then our spirits leaped their bound, Our glorious banner on high we spread; And knowing not that Senior frowned Never suffered a fear nor dread. But innocent trust was soon betrayed For it fell by a Senior’s hand. Altho defeated, yet not dismayed, For a bigger and better soon took command. Parties and picnics followed fast Until with quickened speed Examinations came and passed And we for vacation were freed. Still a faithful few remaining, Others were added, too, Now as Juniors seek for training, Something to dare and do. Past the horizon of this year’s struggles We see Hope’s rising sun; For next year’s close will end our troubles And see the victory won. 1 Then let us still press onward, We’ll soon make our star shine And long shall be remembered The class of ninteen-nine. —Maude Peters ’09. 23
