N the high school all was dark and quiet except for the continuous ticking of the clock in the office. The busy hum of school life was hushed, and the bright (?) faces of the students and faculty had vanished. The janitoress ” had done the work well, and the bright moon peered into rooms which were neat and orderly but silent and deserted. But suddenly a strange sight appeared. Into room 20 came troops in groups, in pairs, or singly, a class of books : books that were battered and torn, books rebound, books with not a show of wear, and heavy, clumsy ones that contained a fund of knowledge.

In the eyes of the Seniors this class looked green but in their own estimation, was the best class in the whole school. This class organized and therefore elected the following officers: presi- dent, Peggy Hedrick, and Dorothy Sherman; treasurer, Claude Sutter; secretary, George Stilson; class editor, Dorothy Sherman. We had a good representation m the decl amatory contest which was won for us by FI arriet Allyn. Next came the fire which put a stop to good old school days in Fergus.
