either during debate or rebuttal, while on the other hand all the Leominster boys used notes in their rebuttal and one during his debate. As a whole, the Leominster boys were ver} ' good, but our boys were better, despite the fact that they re- ceived an adverse decision. While the judges were out the twelve hundred people present were in a state of expectancy, even Leom- inster waiting for a Fitchburg deci- sion, But hush ! the judges are re- turning! The chairman of the judges begins to speak ! He congratulates the young men on the debating and reminds ever doody that some side had to lose, and looks at Leominster in a pitying way. And we also pity the poor boys. Listen 1 he is about to render a decision! “We have de- cided that Leominster is — The Vic- tor! ! ! ” For want of space we leave the rest to your imagination. Familiar Quotations. “The dear departed.” — Mr. Dean.

It’s six o’clock.’” — Gorman. Diploma “is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” May 11. ‘‘The shades of night were falling fast . s o’er the stage there proudly passed A chorus in bright robes arrayed ; And of what was the chorus made? Excelsior ! ” “Out of order.” — “Aunty” Nolen. “Short but sweet.” — Me. ‘‘I love nobody but you, Abe, I love nobody but you. You have won my heart, Abe, And I will ever be true. Don’t say you’ll turn me down, Abe, No other Senior will do. From morn till night I’se tellin’ you right, I love nobody but you.” — Kindly donated by Sadie Aldrich, ’03. “Short words had no charm for him.” — “Duke” Murphy. PIANIST. Feeling a great interest in the pro- gress of music among our young people, we would call the attention of all desiring first-class instruction to the talent of Miss Mary M. Con- don of the Class of 1901.
