Class? jpoem OK, don’t you remember tke class of ’19? I’m aware tKat you tKot tkem a little bit green. But let us put criticism out of our minds And consider tke specimen fair for tke times. Skinny was Cassius, tall and tkin, But thinking didn't botker kim; Jack was our editor, sad and profound, Witk deep-set eyes and head quite round; Traffley led basketball; Cathie, debating; Jerry and Vernon talked often of dating'; Ardis ambition nothing1 could bar, She surely would be a great movie ” star ; Now we mustn’t forget dear Marian Neill With her laughter tke tar paper walls would repeal; Wh en Ste ve did play basketball, kc often grew peeved, But a glance from Naomi and ke was relieved ; Doris was always rolling her eyes, Tke poor little Freskies she’d hypnotize ; There’s one little girl we can’t forget, At 1 east Smick won’t, it’s safe to bet. Margaret Rauch in all studies did lead, While Bertrand Brown on great authors did feed. Now Helen Ramsey had tke rep of always being full of pep; Nella Gurnett and her beautiful curls Caused tke envy of all tke girls. Frances Montague was always quite meek, But remember tke saying “ Still water runs deep.” Frances McFerran a pianist would be. Some people said she’d excel Paderewski. Now, gentle reader, tk ese are a few Of this famous 1919 crew. And, if left out, your feelings are hurt, Just lay the blame on your friend Myrt. HERE’S TO FERGUS Then here’s to our school, it’s old Fergus High, We fight for her with all our might and mam. Will back her to tke limit and tke sky, For her there’s always something new to gain, F.M.

H entor Class istorp N 1915 the Ship of Progress 1 anded m France, High School Land. Rookies they were indeed, very green and new to the methods of trench warfare. Training in America, Grade School Land, had not taken the awkwardness out of these rookies, and how they wan- dered blank-eyed through the new training camp ! Immediately be- gan the new training- for going k' over the top ” to conquer the Boche (algebra, biology, English, etc.). Every possible tactful method was employed. At last they were stationed in the Assembly Hall under the lead ership of Captain Sackett. Considering their lack of organization, they did unusually well and lost very few of their number. Then Captain Cummings was placed in command. Stricter discipline, organi- zation, and longer hours of training ensued; but, when the signal was given the second time, there was less loss of life and the Boche surely scattered. The division then moved into the nearer front line Junior trenches; several won recognition for bravery. Among these were Sergeants Nellie Johnston, Traf- fley and Gretencort. As they neared the first line trenches their number naturally decreased, but they still made good ” over the top.” Many obstacles were a great hindrance to them. ” Fire was gone through, but the hardship only made them stronger and better for future battles. Now victory is won in the Senior front line trench and many of the division have attained the Croix d’Honneur. The Boche are conquered and captured. Tho' the trench life in the Barracks Dugouts has not always been the most convenient, the T9 Division has fared exceptionally well. First Lieutenants Gretencort, Clem and Traffley have been decorated for distinguished bravery under fire. Second Lieutenants Esther Garry, John Owen and Dorothy Brown are members of the famous Division Band. When the division entered the Senior trench, Privates Frances McFerran, Bertrand Brown, Ardis Calkins, Margaret Veneman and Bernard Josephson joined it. Colonels Vern Fallon, Addle McKenzie, Margaret Rauch and many others have done excellent first aid work. Many of this famous division deserve honor- able mention. May our class always have success m the future and ever go ” over the top Myrtle Ritch. THE MODEST SENIOR A freshman green once said to me, Wh y, I've seen all there is to see ; A sophomore, standing at his right. Looked on the sight in calmer light; A junior standing in the row Said kk There are some things I don't know. A senior there, a pallid thing, Replied ” I don't know anything.” M. R.
