,v D The 1 905 Class Book Fitchburg High School FITCHBURG MASSACHUSETTS JUNE MCMV PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOK CLASS TO OUK KESPECTED FRIEND AND ADVISER. MR. JOSEPH G. EDGERLY Superintendent of Schools THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED BY THE CLASS OF 1905 MR. JOSEPH G. EDGERLY 1 MR. JOSEPH G. EDGERLY. It is only natural that scholars should respect and look up to the persons who are responsible for their education. It is with more than this natural feeling that our class, and every class and every scholar, regards our Superintendent, Mr. Joseph G. Edgerly. Mr. Edgerly was born in Barnstead, N. H., in 1838. After several years of teaching, affording excellent preparation for his later work, he entered the sophomore class of Dartmouth college, graduating in 1867. Soon after he was elected superintendent of schools of Man- chester, N. H. There, under his direction, the school system and management greatly improved. In 1875 Fitchburg called Mr. Edgerly to superintend her public schools, and for thirty consecu- tive years the complex problems of that office have been ably solved by him. His decisions are deliberate, just and wise, and as time has proven, are for the good of teachers and scholars alike. More significant than the credit given Mr. Edgerly for his many good works in behalf of Fitchburg and her schools, is the widespread regard which all have for him. We are confident that future classes will respect and admire the qualities which have endeared him to the hearts of the mem- bers of the class of 1905. Greetings The Class of 1905 greets you all — friends, admirers and well- wishers — with sincere and honest FRED JOSEPH CASAVANT, Ed it or- in- Chief. Clarhncp: Elgenf: Allen, Marian Phillips Dennett, Ralph Augustus Garno, Francis Clement Gorman, Chester Sargent Hardy, Edward Harrison Lawton, Richard Harkness Patch, Mary Dorothy Shea, Sadie Eugenie Soule, Philip Wilkins Stone. Just as the success of our nation rests upon the fact that we did not allow our liberty to become license, the success of the Class of 1905 is also attributed to a like policy. During the four years we have passed in our high school, never have we been over-stringent, nor have we tried to urge fame and glory upon the shoulders of a favored few. In athletics, as we were fortunate enough to have well-trained and robust athletes, success has been ours. The true school spirit we showed, but the toleration of hated rivalry never knew our ranks. Our talent in literary and social functions was always displayed in a friendly but fearless manner. Here as before our many laurels were accepted modestly and without conceit. At the close of our Junior year five of our most popular classmates left for institutions of higher learning ; Fisher to Middle- bury. Brown to Mt. Hermon, Austin and Cross to Andover, and DesRivieres to Exeter. Soon later Philbrook’s tastes for agricul- ture suddenly expanded and he left to take up the outdoor life. These partings at such a time were undoubtedly our most sor- rowful experiences. The election of our Senior president, however, soon expelled these gruesome thoughts and the life of the Senior commenced in earnest. The advent of our new teachers, Messrs. Joy and Hawes and Misses Fosdick and Grepne, was greeted with a true scholarly spirit. The well-deserved popularity which Mr. Joy has won betokens the sincere regard of every Senior. y Our four class ])artics and the proiucnade took the lead of all the socialities for two years ])ast. Indeed, it is an extraordinary occurrence, but we seemed to lead in everything. For the years 11)04- and 1905 the honor of being school chain])ions was ours, and the football, baseball and basket-ball teams were made up of nearly all ’05 men. Again in our Senior year the same truth follows, cou])led with the fact that our school ])a]3er, the Red find Grny, was entirely dependent u]3on the Senior class. On the evening of A])ril 2S, iifter “Jeanie” and “Clare” had “done themselves brown” in the ])rize speaking and essay con- test, the Senior girls, with five of the sturdier sex for chai)er- ons (?), departed for Gardner to the reception tendered us by the 0. H. S. Seniors. Ever d:)odv had a delightful time, “Fitz” suf- fering for his by the deadly reproaches of our principal ci week later. It was a noticeable fact that Stone wore home a G. H. S. pin, and that Miss P (G. H. S.), under Lawton’s careful guidance, rode as far as South Gardner. Our president alsx) seemed somewhat affected. The return reception held at Lincoln hall again showed that our keynote of success was opportunity, from our motto, to “Know Your O])portunity,” and the true class sentiment is ex- pressed when we say “ Ve have nothing to regret.” To the members of the faculty, under whom we have passed through one part of our life’s course, and who have helped us to broaden our minds and develop our bodies, and who have aided us besides in strengthening and moulding our characters, we tender our sincere thanks. To the undergraduates we say, Be courteous, honest and faithful in all your dealings, and success is sure to follow. We wish you finally a prosperous and happy future, and bid you one and all a most affectionate and hearty farewell. 10 EDGAR ALLAN SCHOFIELD. 1 ? ■ “Ed” is without a doubt the most ])f)pular fellow iu school. He has been an efficient class president, and as president of the Athletic Association has done much to keep alive the interest and to increase the treasury. He is a inend)er of the Glee Club and has pla3’ed on the athletic teams. Often hcive his oratorical powers worked marvels. CLARENCE EUGENE ALLEN. Clarence is one of our most popular students. He has served on all sorts of committees, bein chairman of the second Senior Class part committee, an editor of the Class Book, a member of the picture committee, and an editor of the Red and Gray; also co-editor of the “Widow.” Clarence nailed the five plunks in prize speaking and essaj contest, and is an all-round good man. He is a member of Lambda Sigma Fraternit . WINNIE WARD BALDWIN. Why Winnie wasn’t a russet we don’t know, but a Baldwin she is. However, we hope she will not remain a Baldwin much longer. Winnie is eighteen 3’ears old.. But cheer up, Winnie; many a girl has married later. SARAH ELLEN BROWN. Miss Brown left us in her sophomore ear for more advanced university work in rhetoricals, going to Lunen- burg curriculum. That being a trifle too severe, Aliss Brown left and rejoiced to ecune back under our new re- gime. She is the writer of our class song. FRED JOSEPH CASAVANT. Fred is cliainnan of the Class Hook coniiniltec, and acted as chairman of the first Senior Class party com- mittee. lie has also held various other jjositions. He ])lays basket-hall, baseball and football, and has made all the teams. I'red is a ood athlete and first-rate fel- low. It is expected some day that F'red will have a team of his own. EDITH MARY CASWELL. Miss Caswell is a graduate of Laurel street grammar school and is a native of Fitchburg. The persevering at- titude with which she has taken up her studies readily shows that her course has been of great benefit to her. She is sixteen 3 ears of age. EDGAR JOSEPH COGSWELL. Our dear little “Josie” hangs out on first base during the springtime, and has faithfull3 , we hope, carried on the 1905 bank. Cogswell is only seventeen, but, as he says, he is old enough to have a hobby of his own, and his is baseball. MAUDE SARAH HALFREY COLLINS. Miss Collins is one of the more quiet members of the class, spending her time in careful research and stud3 No one has gained more profit by her high school course than Maude S. She is seventeen years of age, and attended High street grammar school. Miss Collins is a native of Watertown. GERTRUDE ELIZABETH CONVERvSE. Gertrude can well fill the position of “ baby elephant ” without shrinkiiiji a partiele, but it isn’t her fault. We sometimes wonder if Gertrude and Dorothy are not re- lated, but both disclaim it. Gertrude is in her element when playing poker. AGNES DOMITELLA GROTTY. On the departure of Aliss Grotty the school loses one of the most valuable members. Agnes was aii attendant at St. Bernard’s before entering F. H. S. She has faith- fully fulfilled her position as first violin in the school or- chestra. No doubt her musical talent will win her great fame. MARIAN PHILLIPS DENNETT. “ Life an Allegory,” Al iss Dennett. Nevertheless Marian is good-natured and meant no harm. As a result of her literary productions we expect to see her a member of the Boston American staff. Never mind, Marian; it wasn’t your fault. Miss Dennett is an editor of the Red and Gray. GEORGIANA KATHARINE DONLON. Georgiana was born in Worcester, but not being very fond of our county seat, embarked at an early age for the northern district. Miss Donlon has won much fame as a French scholar, is a graduate of the Goodrich street grammar school, and is a maid of eighteen summers. IvDNA COKXIvIJA HLV. '()ii Shirley aus, hut orii inally from I'rovidencc, R. I., eontribiited much to the scholarly record of our class. Ivdna is fiUiuj for Vcllcslc3’ College, and is one of the tamous tribe who j)roi)ose to spend their summer vacation at W'halom MILDRED CHRISTINE EELTON. Hinsdale may be on the map, but we are unable to had it. At all events Mildred says she was born there, and that she knew it (We don’t vouch for it ) Miss I'elton is Chester’s friend, and graduates with high honors in Course I. JAMES HENRY FITZROY. Our star football player and athlete, “Jimmy,” always plays the football game of the season, as well as taking the lead in basket and baseball. Jim is manager of this year’s team and has held many responsible positions. His athletic record is one of which no other student can boast, and his popularity lies in the same class. He is a member o'f the Zeta Phi fraternity'. JOHN JOvSEPH FOLEY. West Fitchburg has given us no more studious, indus- trious gift than gentle Joe E'oley. We commend in him his ability to mind his own business. If silence is golden John has the .Midas touch. John bowled on our class team MARION LAWRENCE FOSDICK. For a maid of seventeen summers Marion leads all the rest. She is our class secretary and has served on numer- ous committees, among which are the class parties and the Gardner reception committees. When one isn’t looking Marion is up to all sorts of tricks. We hope she will improve, however. JUDSON ROSCOE FOSTER. We are indebted to Roscoe for the glimpse of rural Westminster life which he gives us. His way in school has been an even one, and we can say of him as of Ten- nyson, “there is nothing about his life that need be explained or excused.” LAURA BELLE FRENCH. Miss French was born young right here at home. Her last public exhibition was as leader of the negative side in “the debate,” her careful management, no doubt, securing the victory for her side. Laura attended Day street before entering F. H. S., and is eighteen years of age. RALPH AUGUSTUS GARNO. Worcester Tech will be Ralph’s “resting-place” for the next four years. While here he has been a loyal ’05 man, serving as chairman of the Gardner reception committee and memorial decorating committee, and taking care of the business interests for the Class Book. Ralph is a Zeta Phi man. He was a member of our class bowling 1 team. HAROLD INGHAM GOODHRH. “ Hoozc No. 2” is a coniiiicrcial ])r()(luct ( , c coiii- lucrcial course), but b ' careful athletic trainius he has rounded out the angles and j)reseuts £i fairly luiuj)y ap- pearauee. His record in the athletic line is an euvialjlc one, he having made the footl)all, basket-ball and baseball teams. Booze received the rudiments of his education in Ashby. FRANCIS CLEMENT GORMAN. (L)rman was born in Tarryville, Conn., and has been tarr ’ing ever since. Nevertheless, he has done noble work as business manager of the Red and Gray. In this capa- city his tarr dng disposition made it possible for him to tolerate the lagging returns from the “newsies.” ANNA LOUISE GORMAN. Miss •Gorman is a graduate of Goodrich street gram- mar school, and takes her diploma in Course IV. Her facilities for turning crimson when a boy speaks to her are unsurpassed by any of the class. ORA MAY HALL. Modest, innocent Ora Ma3 Society’s mad whirl caught Ora in her freshman year, and she has kept up her record of one party a 3 ear ever since. But then, “girls will be girls,” so here’s to Ora. CHESTER SARGENT HARDY. Chester has the peculiar and rare gift of locating the point of what he is saying within the radius of what he means, measured two-hundredths. Through his efforts as chief editor, the whole character and value of the school paper has been raised to a higher standard than ever be- fore. Chester is the ideal of the moral tone of the class. He is a Lambda Sigma man. JOHN DAVID HASSETT, F. G. C. M. (Fitchburg’s great clumsy man), has contributed his might to the honor of 1905. His work on the baseball team deserves special mention, as does his all-round good nature. BARBARA BETSEY HAZEN. The Shirley academy being overcrowded Barbara was sent to Fitchburg for her learning. Miss Hazen is a stu- dent of the College division and contemplates entering Vassar in the fall. Barbara is one of the best looking girls in the class. We Bet-sy is. MARY FR. NCES HOGAN. This aspiring womanly Demosthenes gives promise of succeeding in her chosen field of oratory. Judging from her fre([uent and well executed attempts in elocution we will soon hear her defending the down-trodden cause, “Why doesn’t Mr. Woodbury sing?’’ I I I'kAXClS (;iv()R(',lv lU'TClIIXS. 1 This noted professor of eivie eeonoinv is interesting both etyinoloj ieally and i)sylieopatholo icallY His enstoin of eating at l)reakfast five hard-boiled ovoids from a five- plaee logarithm table may partially explain his theories in regard to reetilinear propagation of light. MARION EMMA JOXEvS. Marion hails from Boston, her first two years being spent in the metropolis. Realizing Fitehbnrg’s progres- sive advancement, however, she persuaded her fi lks to move. Marion attended Goodrich street school and was the naughty little girl who got Jimmy Fitzoy into trouble cn route from Giirdner. LUCY AlAE KELLEY. Miss Kelley, during her four x ears with us, has demon- strated that, after all, the General course can do wonders. Although the Lord furnished her with outside attractions, she has stuck by the class through thick and thin. Lucy has a great pull with Prof. Hawes. RUTH WINIFRED KENT. Ruth, as you can easily see by her picture, is very fair looking. She is a graduate of Laurel street grammar, and for one of nine years is very forward aiming the boys. A I P:I)VVARD HARRISON LAWTON. The entire elaSvS have enjoyed the wit and good humor of Harrison. He has served time on every other commit- tee appointed — chief among them being chairman of the promenade committee, aid on the Gardner reception com- mittee, and an editor of the Class Book. I'or this later office he had excellent preparation as co-editor of The Widow. H. H. is a charter member of the Zeta Phi fra- ternity. BRIDGET VERONICA LENNON. Miss Lennon was born in dear old Fitchburg eighteen years ago. She has been a true scholar and showed up with great skill in the public debate. Here’s to Bridget. RUTH IDA LEWIS. Ruth Ida is the most beautiful damsel residing in Room 27. She is a most ardent worker, and having, as she does, a pull with the faculty, she gets off with only nine demerits and three D’s. This is a whopper! We all know it but Ruth. GEORGE VARNUM LOVERING. “Not dead but sleeping,’’ et with a wonderful eye for “spares.” George firmly believes that low profits do not necessarily cause high wages, but that high wages are an incentive to high rolling. He is captain of the team. 3t IIAZI-I. IvTIlKI, LOWI'.. Miss Lowe blew into town a short time before the twins, and althonj h she looks small she ranks amon the six-tooters. Hazel is very dutifnl, but she doesn’t look it. She is a graduate of the Ili !! street rammar sehool. MARY BEATRICE LYONS. In her oii see the belle of Fitchburg. Aliss L 'ons, although x'oung, is there with the berries (as the boys say). Beatrice is our Yice-President, and has done most efficient work on the Class part and senior “Prom.” committees. We hope B. will cease robbing the hearts of the weaker sex after entering college. |OHN FRANCIS MARKHAAI. The terror from up West. Air. Martin is a decided favorite among the girls, and has passed many pleasant evenings with them. We hope John will discontinue this, at the same time mildly suggesting that he takes the first opportunity awaiting him. EDITH Y I LETT A MARTIN. Edith leaves High School for Fitchburg Normal. We hope she will keep up her record of perfect attendance there as well as she has done here. Yiletta’s artistic qual- ity has (so Air. Randall says) l)een chosen to work u]) the color scheme for the coming wedding. AlARY GERTRUDE McDOWELL. Four years of diligent studying have combined to make “Gerty” a fair type of F. H. S. co-ed. Judge for yourself! We trust Mary takes this to heart. JEAN GILCHRIvST McTAGGART. Miss McTaggart was born in Paisley, Scotland. Al- though she does not remember her sea voyage, she em- phatically declares that Scotland is the most beautiful country out. “Jeanie” pocketed the five shingles in the speaking contest, but never offered to treat the class. We don’t blame her any for this. KATHRYN FRANCES MURNANE. “Kit” Murnane, as the girls call her, is one of our largest members. Laurel street grammar lays claim upon her. For nineteen years she has passed the ordeals of this wide world, and is still pursuing a course in history. WINIFRED AGNES MYLOTT. Winifred is one of Fitchburg’s old stand-bys. She is a graduate of Laurel Hill academy, and the class of 1905 is to be congratulated on having her among their lists. Seventeen sutnmers have passed over her llowery locks. RICHARD lIARKNlvSS PATCH. Hotter known ns R. Darkness I’ateh. His fondness for Mr. W’oodHnry is marked l)y everyone who has a rnd e ai ainst the principal. I'roin the first, .science has claimed the dee|)est interest from Rich.ard. When hnt a child he di.seovered that he eonld not sec .around the corner. His t.alk, thon,Lrh li ht, is often sound. He is a Lambda Si ma man. FRED SAWYER I’LUMER. Fred originated from Newbnryport, thence to Keene, and then to Fitchburg. Von see he is (piite a tr.aveller. Saw- 'er is really better looking than he seems in his picture. Danein is his hobby, and he is the best d.ancer we have. He served most efliciently on the Senior “From.” com- mittee, and is ,a charter member of the Zeta Fhi frater- nit3'. He leaves high school for Amherst “Aggie.” HARRISON FREDERICK RICH. This prize package has served on committees and held positions too many to record here. Harry ])la ’S basket- ball, baseball and football, and has rdw.a s put up a strong, stead}' game. His track work, of which he was the ca])tain, .speaks for itself. F. H. S. will ever hold him in remembrance. He is a Lambda Sigma man. FLORENCE AIAY RICHMOND. Florence kicked the head out of the flour barrel and jumped upon earth ’wa}' up in Hutchinson, Kansas. That's what makes her so affectionate. Florence is the friend of the boys, and has passed many a happ ' Sunday in (Gardner. She lays 'claim to seventeen years. MARY FRANCP:S ROBJNvSON. In Mary Frances you have a diligent and ardent worker. Mary is a great friend of Miss Sleej)er’s, and pulls out with all A’s. Laurel street seminary ftjr girls was her place of attendance before entering F. H. S. EDNA ZITA ROCHE. Here is one of our pul)lic-spirited speakers, one who figured in “the debate,’’ and who was a contestant in the prize speaking and essay contest. Miss Roche has been very successful as a speaker. She is eighteen 3 ears of age and is a graduate of St. Bernard’s parochial. MARTIN BERNARD RODDY. “Captain Roddy’’ of pla dng a whole athletic course and getting an “A’’ ever marking. The class has been benefited in every way by his presence. He well deserves the sincere thanks of the whole class. MARY DOROTHY SHEA. We hold up Miss Shea as a finished exponent of four 3'ears’ conscientious stud dng. She belongs to our favor- ite midget pair — her part in the duet being to draw the constructions while Miss C. does the rest. Doroth has done her share of committee work faithfully and com- idetcly. She is our youngest member. jIvANHTTH I'RAXCHS SMITH. Darlins. I'raiices is one of our most i)oi)ular irls. Slie “ han”:s out” at Whaloui iii the summer time, ami “Smith ’illa” is a eoustaut haltiii 4:-])lace for the youu hoys. I'rauees was a member of tlie class i)ieture committee and has served on various other committees. MILDRED MARTHA SMITH Has industriously pursued the College course for four long years, and as a result will, no doubt, serve as a beacon to struggling Juniors. Martlia has been a help on the various committees, and deserves the thanks of 1905 for her services. SADIE EUGENIE SOULE. Throughout her course Miss Soule has distinguished herself by her cleverness in drawing. The Class Rook committee and numerous party committees have been benefited by her assistance. She is a great friend of Mr. Voodbur3’’s, and delights in basket-ball. PHILIP WILKINS vSTONE. When we sa ' that “Booze No. 1“ is liked b} all, we mean it. Phil acted as chairman of the Senior decorating and class picture committees and is an editor of the Class Book. He alwa 'S has a good word for everybody, and his athletic ability was a feature of our football games. Herr Stone is a member of the Lambda Sigma fraternity. ( ELIZABETH INGALLS SYM(3NDS. If “Captain” Syinonds of the yirl.s’ basket-ball team was not with us we would indeed feel that something was laekin . Lizzie played a great game and was the whole team. She helped us out on the class parties and promenade committees, and was one of our most popular members. ELSIE AIAY TUCKER. That Elsie can debate ever 'one knows. Ye feel that Elsie knows, but then, that’s not to the point. Coming from West Fitchburg, she naturally is a good talker ; then, t(io, she studies once in a while EDMOND JOSEPH WARD. Holy Cross will have Ed. for a freshman next ’ear. We feel that he will “Trot” right along there as he has here Edmond did great work on the promenade com- mittee, and is undoubtedly our class mathematician. FLORENCE LORINDA WHITCOMB. Miss Florence can be counted among our silent mem- bers; however, her energies have been well directed to- wards upholding the class name abroad. (At Gardner.) MARY TIvRIvSA WOOIKS. ('lardiicr is a ])retl3’ town; that’s what makes Miss Woods so l)eautirid. We are naahle to find where she stays up there, hut we know slie does so. That’s all there is to it. Mary served oil the (lardner reeeption eommittee and iiitrodueed the class to the fellows!!! WALTER SIDNEY WOODWARD. “Whiskers” has demonstrated that it is not necessaiw to be here every minute to do the rcfjuired work. He has whittled alon in the manual trainiii'jj course, and we can safely’ say he knows as much now as he did when he hc j an. Walter’s particular feat is the solving of trigo- nometry' problems. AURETTA FLORENCE BOLTON. Miss ‘Bolton joined our class in the Sophomore y'car, and has thought enough of us to remain ever since. Auretta spends much of her time in Whalom with Menry' darling; but then, when one has a chance they do their most to improve it. CHARLES HUBERT HUGHEvS. Our friend, Mr. Hughes, is still with us, although his picture is not. “Charlie” has successfully' conijileted a four y'ears’ General Course, and has been one of our most loyal men. Coming as he does from West Fitchburg, we have excused him oftentimes on his absent-mindedness. GUY SEVERNS HUTCHINS. Guy' is a faithful student, and has for the past year served his principal in a wfirthy manner every ' second hour. “Guy'sie” is preparing for Tech. He alway s has been a staunch supporter of his class and school, and has never missed a football game. Undoubtedly' Hutchins will do great honor to us all. ETHEL LOUISE MAXWELL. Miss Alaxwell is another proof of the efficiency' of Lunenburg high school. She has been with us for the last twf) years and never has been guilty' of a smile. Ethel Louise will have to practice a little. 3ltt m tuoriatn Augustus l purg Htbg A fmnirr mpmltrr uf tljt (Elasa uf 1905 itfJi, Aiirtl Hllf 1905 CLASS SONG. I'arewoll to our iVicMids licre to-ni lit we iiiiist say, And fortli on onr wa_v we nuist Hilt the joys we have liad in tlie days that are ])ast Will ‘i ive pleasure through life here below; And the future is pointing with jiroinising hand, Alluring ns all on onr way, Assuring ns now that sneeess we’ll attain If we’re true to the tasks of each day. We shall miss the true friends that we’re leaving to-night. We shall miss the glad days past and gone. But we’ll keej) ever with us the lessons here learned. And rejoice as we still journey on. Ma ' we e’er to onr motto and colors be true, For the blue and the white may we strive; Let no stain ever blot the fair name of the class Of nineteen hundred and five. And now a farewell to onr friends and onr school. They bid us Godspeed this glad day; We leave in return onr best wishes and hopes For success as the pass on their way; And whenever we meet on earth’s rugged path, As we bravely toil up life’s steep hill, May memory cause us to reach out our hand, And greet them with hearty good-will. 28 1906 Brace up, ’06, and do something to make a name for ourself. Take ’05 as an example, and let people know that 3'ou are still alive. Although we know that you ean never equal the high stand- ard of success attained us, we hope, at least, that in the com- ing year a)U may do something to redeem your past record ; and now, as we wish to leave no enemies behind us in the old school, shake hands, ’06, and forget the past. 1907 For 3 ou, Nineteen Hundred and Seven, we have nothing but best hopes and encouragement for your future. It’s up to you. 29 ’07, to keep down the uppishness of the Class of lOOG, and to lead the innoeent I'reslnnen away from the paths of wiekedness pursued by that elass. Xow that we are gone, upon your shoul- ders must rest the task of upholding the honor of the sehool. Remember that the Class of ’05 is watehing your progress with an anxious eye, and with their suceess as a goal before you, strive on, ’07, and make a name for 3'ourself in the history of the sehool. 1908 We have just a word to say to you. Nineteen Hundred and Eight. Take not the adviee of the Class of ’06, unless you wish to work your ruin. E ollow, rather, that of ’07, which is striv- ing for 3'our welfare. Remember that little children should be seen and not heard, and do not, like ’06, try to gain attention bv ]3ublishing a second Flapper, or some other foolish deed. Mav 3'ou ]3rofit b ' this advice from the renowned and illustrious Class of Nineteen Hundred and Five. 30 PROPHECY Prophecy I Xatiire never endowed me witli sneli a weight ot siij)ertliu)ns eerel)rie energy. No; no old woman with broom and gray malkin, nor any l)lazing eml)ers, nor liazardons aerial Hight, gave me the power to foretell the threatening future. It all came about in this way. Sal and I (Sal’s my — well, Sal’s mine) were, as it chanced, at a great world’s fair. How we got there never mind; let it be sufh- eient to say that we were there after I had j awned my tan spring shoes and a Waterbur that had always run in the family. Sal always did want to see the sights, and I, not yet united to her by the bonds of wedlock, wished by all means to please her, for in obtaining her I not only got the honorable title of son-in- law of a Leominster councilman, but also received as a dowry the mortgage on the new high school. Well, we were at the fair, as I was telling you, and after visiting the Midway and imperil- ing our lives on the “ Twirly-Whirly,” “ Bump-the-Bumps,” and several other pleasurable manias, out of breath I pulled Sal into a corner and we adjusted ourselves in the mirror of a chewing- gum machine. Sal, flushed in the face but prettier than ever, glanced at me appealingl} and I could tell by the dew in her eyes that she well knew that she had gone on a wild-goose chase when she accompanied me to a fair. I tried to console her with a bag of popcorn. and an ice cream sandwich, but the corn seemed to have been in a terrible hurry to return back to its former elements, and the ice cream sandwich fell on the ground, “and al- ways on the buttered side.” In despair I glanced around and saw that we had entered a small room with several small machines hanging around on the walls, and opposite one I read in bold type this simple announce- ment : YOUR FORTUNE TOLD ONE CENT Yes, we had run into one of those penny-in-thc-slot machines with the revolving pictures and phonographic attachments. Well, that set my mind a-going, rather envious of those who were at 32 present enjoying a better state of happiness, and seeing a chance to amuse Sal, I decided to play cheat with the sewing-machine and make it think I was an3d:)ody but m3 self. I only had six cents, but I thought I could contrive with these and a few spare buttons and a lead die that Patch had given me long ago, when he paid me back the nickel he owed me, and so assailed the “Queen Lorela,” as the machine was called, and jammed a penny in her mouth, assuming then the character of a person, the laugh of which was enough for identity. The lights lighted up as I looked in, and the machine began to revolve. It was as I expected. There, before me in a noisy little school-room, the village master was teaching school. Allen! And who was that that sat beside him suffused with blushes and the odor of fr3dng doughnuts? A simple little country girl in- trusted to his care. But why sat the3' thus ? Ah, tell me why at lonely hours the dismal frog doth pipe his lay. Ah, tell me why the morning cock does crow his song at break of day. Ah, could she now see! Ruth-less, Ruth-less bo}’ ! The machine stopped and it was necessar3 to belie myself again and administer a pellet. Hello! What was this? In a padded cell, the floor of which was littered with papers. Miss Fosdick was sitting, tearing her hair in her vain attempts to keep up with the records of the class. Marriages, honors, births — all came hurrying to her over the wires, and enough of them to drive anyone mad. She would no sooner get the Plumers in file, and the papers weighted down with the Stones, when in w onld come a fresh troop, necessitating the add- ing of some Patches. By the records I saw that Miss Gorman was not obliged to change her name when she married, that Mrs. Ducharme and husband had attained great honors in the musical world, and that Miss Lennon {nom de plume Bridget Veronica) was startling the cheap novel world with her thrilling romances. Poor Recording Secretary, I did not envy 3'ou as you tried to keep up with our fast class. The scene changed. A telephone office? Yes, and who was that seated at a desk curling his locks on his finger’s end ? It was Fred, and no other. How well he managed the girls about him ! A smile and a wink w as all that was necessary, and they 33 were at onee in ood luiinor. I no longer wonder why on trying days, at trying hours, that sweet voiee asks, “What nninber, please?” Misses Riehinond, Soule, Hall, Kent, Mylott, Robinson, Roaeh, Mnrnane, were all in role as-operators, with Miss Symonds as “The Telephone Girl.” The ealls were fast, and not all went beyond the office. A burst ot laughter brought the news that Lawton wanted his pa])a-by-law to send around a hack, or ])er- haps it was I'itzroy asking Miss Jones to go on a trolley ride. Well, I might have lingered here and got all the news, but the machine set up a holler that I had already got more than m money’s worth, and so ran down. The next turn brought to view a countr scene, a green stretch of rolling land, a golf field. There, .searching in the tall grass, was Plumer and his wife, Mrs. Frances. Yes, her role as a klep- tomaniac had cjuite turned her head, and she had now joined Plumer as a sort of Mrs. Raffles, and was “lifting” the golf balls from society ])coplc, and making quite a trade at it, too. Here “Madam Lorela” quite amazed me, for without extra charge she branched off on another subject. The change brought to view a place in which, from the number of trumpets about, I thought it must be a home for old maids, but not seeing Misses Martin, Maxwell, Tucker, Whitcomb and Woods there, I knew that I was mistaken and it must be a phonograph shop. And I reasoned right, for soon a short 3 oung man with a somewhat' sandy com])lexion came in view holding a sheet of music in his hands. P'rom one horn to another he passed, singing his song into their brazen throats, and I found that I recognized in him my old friend. Patch. Charming occupation that, my friends. The ' say that nature provides us with instruments to be used to our best advantage, and Patch certainly was using his mouth. The scenes changed, and in a country parlor was enacted a little .scene that thrilled me with delight. Misses Hazen and Ely were seated in state with a neighbor grind in full swing, when the door opened and Guy Hutchins entered. He merely wanted to sell some porous plasters, and when completing his sales he left the room with a somewhat pleasing nod to Barbara. Then she turned to Edna and said, “If that Guy Hutchins thinks I care anything about him, he must have a good opinion of him- self.” Poor, deluded single maiden! Do 3 Ou stop to realize what 34- an enormous opinion 3’ou must have of A ourself? Well, there is no hope now. She had at last completed the round of her matri- monial proceedings. The next was onh' a photograph. A churchyard with many cherubs and little lambs, and on one of the simple stones I read this epitaph, telling of the end of a brief little life: Here lies Goodere ; Who was a Good dear; A Good year checked his life, For he did little Good here. A whizz and the machine started in once more, and the exte- rior of an office door told me that here Dr. Stone’s dental mas- sage held forth. The door opened, and I saw that notewortht' ])erson busily engaged in filling the cavities of an ashsieve. Things didn’t seem to be coming his way, but 1 saw on the walls around mant lea.ses on the jaws of mant of the foremost Juniors, and so concluded this was not his bus dat'. I didn’t think it was necessary to waste m scarce coin on the future of Miss Bolton, for chancing to meet her one recess in a secluded spot in the fourth floor corridor, I well foresaw that her occupation for life was settled, and that she would choose some secluded farm up in Cleghorn where she could safely tend her Hener . The next turn showed me a baseball field where a game was in full swing. Two of the foremost colleges were pla3dng out the nine innings with ever Thing depending on three men, two of them busy on bases and one on the bat. I didn’t have time to recognize these pla ’ers, for as the rap- per swung his bat it seemed as though he struck the machine and the same split into pieces like a Chinese puzzle; but the pieces came together again in the form of a theater program, on which I saw that Patch, Rodd} and Hassett were leading stars in the presentation of Shakespeare’s “ Comed of Errors.” It was with considerable excitement that I passed on to the next prophecw, for all the class, as well as m self, had wondered what had become of Cogswell. Well, I found him in a mission- ary office, where apparently he was secretary. Now, I do hope right here that this bad conduct did not begin while he was serv- ing our honest, virtuous class. But Cogswell was not the onU one who was ])rcsent. Mrs. Dennett, in widow’s weeds, also droj)ped in to eontrihiite a bag of hone fertilizer to tlie soeiety to make the grass green over the sandy grave of her martyred husband. lUit let ns not dwell on this gloomy snbjeet, but pass ga3dy on. What was this? The band ])laying, eheers arising! Oh! a torehlight j)rocession. And who is that marehing at the head, towering far above the others and carrying in his arms a ban- ner ? I'oley ! Well, well, John, and whom do you represent? What? Read the banner? Well, I never! The Socialist party had at last found a candidate in Hutchins! “Vote for Hutch- ins!” “Sound Principles!” “Moral Reform!” Among those marching in the parade I noticed several of my classmates who were standard bearers of the aloove-named. Hughes, Markham and Gorman well represented the west section of our city. The parade was also well supported by the different unions, for in the course of the procession I recognized Woodward at the head of the Hod Carriers, and he had the gait down to perfection ; and Lovering among the Licensed Order of Union Loafers, and he had stars on his arm, too. Garno, who, by the way, was managing a paper with Ward as the chief, the last I knew, represented the Printers’ Union. Yes! Ward had taken a liking to printer’s ink in his early youth at high school, and with the help of Garno, proficient in adver- tising abilities, he was editing a paper called the “Red and Gray, Revised for the Reading of Older People.” Foster also dCvServes special mention, for he did nobly in holding up the standard of the “Ad” part of the procession, and with his “Sunny Smile” was advertising an early morning breakfast food. The parade passed by, the lights died away and the scene changed. Our class poetess! Genius, Genius! Long since I saw that in 3’our face! Those wandering thoughts were never lost, but lingering perhaps about some monument of nature. She was seated in a studio and about her lay the different manuscripts of her composition. Famous, now, she was, and that confidence in her powers was clearly shown as she sat before a paper-strewn cabinet, gazing skyward, as if anxious about the ceiling that covered her head. Well, poverty and intelligence will ever walk together. From the manuscripts I could easily discern how she 30 had come into prominence. Simplicity ! That was the foundation of her fame. Her poem, “To an Angleworm,” startled the world, and I will quote its last verse in elosing. It bears a remarkable resemblanee to the unfinished modes of Burns. “Ah, creature! for which fishes dote, That troubles the tonsils of their throat, What a lesson you do teach. Our throats for viands we must not breach.” {With a caution to the Juniors.) I was now redueed to my last button and the old lead die, but I was game and so started the maehine onee more. An open- air theater was next shown, and there before the sparkling lights our worthy president was singing with great empressement. The theater was jammed, for the manager had paid a great price for the attraetion. Apparently the ehorus had been greatly on the deeline, and something had to be done, and they knew that only a ehange in the leading gentleman role would bring this about. Now the audience was in a state of rapture. The chorus was bewildering. Many of Fitehburg’s most aecomplished girls had given up their paying positions at the “5 and 10” and various other business establishments, and had gone to the stage to pay tribute to the tenor. Amongst them I recognized Misses Smith, Lyons, Shea, Felton, Donlon, Caswell, Freneh, McTaggart, Ho- gan, Kelley, Lewis, and by the adjustment of my strongest glasses I found at last Miss Converse. And now at last I must diselose to you my own sad fate. Reluetantly I parted with that lead coin, and reluctantly set the machine a-going. All things went beautifully at first. I was be- ginning to see before me a most profitable future, when I beeame suddenly aware that something was going wrong. The maehine hitched, jumped and halted; now ran with the speed of a raeer, then bucked with the obstinacy of a mule. Now it whizzed and ereaked and groaned, now it sighed and seemed eonvulsed. Surely something was the matter with the digestive apparatus of the “Queen Lorela.” It may have been I made it sick, or the pellet made it sick, or you all did, or perhaps it objeeted to hav- ing buttons sewed on the inside of its trousers. But anyway, whatever eaused it, a ll I eare about is that it predicted a start- ling fate for me. For in its spasms my fortune was rent into a tlunisand pieces, and the niaelniicrv, bursting fortli in a terrible state of eongestion, struck me in the eye and knocked me uneon- seioiis into the arms of mv tianeee. Many sleepless nights have 1 sj)ent in trying to solve the meaning of this sad ])rophecy, but the only result I can obtain is that that tangled heaj) of remains of my pro])hecy left in the ruin of tlie machine foretells my own fate when each and every one of yon has vented his wrath on my poor self. % ATHLETIC BOARD MEMBERS FOK 1904-1905 E.

President Vice-President and Treasurer Adviser Adviser FOOTBALL TEAM. 1904 FOOTBALL In many ways the football season of 1904 has been one of the most remarkable in the history of the sehool. When the sehool opened in the fall, even the most hopeful doubted the possibility of a team being formed from the raw material presented. Only six of last year’s players remained in school, but our captain, Mr. Roddy, greatly aided our coach in getting together and perfecting a team which proved not onlv capable of gaining the champion- ship of the county, but it ended the season with a score the points of which overshadowed the opponents by such a majority as to bring honor and glory to the red and gray. Practice was ordered on the twenty-seventh day of Septem- ber, and although greatly hampered by the loss of last year’s veterans, the team gradually advanced toward the goal of per- fection. Mr. O’Connor took charge of the squad, and with the hardest schedule which has ever been played, developed one of the best teams the school has ever put on the gridiron. Our first game was played with Clinton at Fitchburg. This was hard fought, our opponents being lighter in weight, but in this earlj part of the season F. H. S. showed great speed and endurance. The next game was with Leominster, who with Pep- perell and Keene, likewise fell into the fateful clutches of oqr vic- torious body. Perhaps the victory (which, however, was a defeat with a score of 5—0) most worthy of mention was that gained over Waltham. Our opponents greatly outweighed the F. H. S., and although our school was defeated, the honor of our alma mater was upheld to the last moment of the play. The fact that Waltham high is placed among the strongest teams in New Eng- land, readily proves that F. H. S. ranks high in football circles. Mr. Shay, our Amherst coach, greatly aided the boys in the science of football as a whole, and to him our complete success is due. Gardner was our next victim, and the final score did not represent the relative strength of the teams. The return game with Gardner brought disdain and disgrace to all connected with the school of that town. Although defeated. 4-3 I'. II. S. clearly ])r()vc(l itself the siii)erior, and with any show at all, could easily have earried away the honors of the day. In elosing, the football team wishes to ex])ress its aj)])reeia- tion of all snj)|)ort whieh has been tendered to make the season of 1904- so siieeessful, and althouL h next year’s ])rospeets are not as brii ht as formerly, with the help of all large men, we sincerely hoj)e that a winning team may be formed.

As usual, Messrs. Studies cS: Co., to wit, Charles T. and his band of faithfuls, loomed u]) into sight about the time of the first game. Cur piteher, P'ord, was suddenh’ seized with a severe attaek of pneumonia, neeessitating easting about for another twirler. Lord was fished out for the prize-paekage and engaged to serve up the hot ones. Our hopes were not in vain, for he came up to and even surpassed our ex- ])eetations, and was abl3' supported by the team behind him. Much agitation was made also because of the conditions put up- on the pla 'ers, both b ' the men themselves and their supporters, the feeling being that the should pla3 under the same advan- tages as the other schools thev pLwed did. The News, as usual, displayed much eagerness in printing anything, right or wrong, exaggerated or not, as long as it ran down Principal Woodbur3'; while the Sentinel, on the other hand, afraid that they might say something that was real 3 ellow, kept mum. Out of the games plciyed to date, six have been won, five lost. The success of the season was largely due to the number of ’05 men on the team. In the infield Roddy at first. Rich at short, and Schofield at third, played the game well; while Casa- vant, Hassett and Goodere in the outfield accepted the greater part of their chances, some of the catches being very sensational. In their batting, also, ’05 men stood among the first. BASEBALL TEAM, 1905 Patrick O’Dea, James Fitzroy, Captain Manager Charles Sheehan, .

GIRLS' BASKET-BALL TEAM GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM. Owing partly to studies, but chiefly to the piety of our hon- ored principal and his fear that it was sacrilegious to the fair name of F. H. S. for young ladies to appear so publicly in gym. suits, the girls were compelled to play under the Y. M. C. A. name. On the whole, the girls played much better than their boy friends, winning six games and losing five. The team played its first game at Leominster, where it was defeated. Before the next game much hard practice was put in ; the result was plainly in evidence, Lancaster defeating them only after a hard- fought contest by a score of 5 to 3. They played rings about their old rivals from Cushing in both games. In the Alethia girls from Worcester, the champions of the county, however, the team attacked too hard a proposition, losing both games by a considerable score. In a series of three games with Lan- caster the girls pulled two of the three games, and in a final contest with Leominster came out victorious, much to their de- delight. The team this year far surpassed anything turned out in seasons before, in their manner of passing, blocking and shooting. Miss Symonds, ’05, led the race in scoring, hotly pursued by Miss Soule, ’05. The forwards were ably aided by the backs. Misses Dickinson and Stockwell. The school may well feel proud of being represented by such a good team. LINEUP OF TEAM Miss Lizzie Symonds, left forward, captain. Miss Alice Stockwell, left back. Miss Sadie Soule, right forward.

There was practically a veteran team left from the year before, but by the first game the team had suffered con- siderable losses by the leaving of Sherwin for Cushing and the removal of Philbrook, ’05, to Ashlw Fitzroy, ’05, also was kept out of the game nearly the whole season, except twice, be- cause of studies. Though these losses considerably weakened the team’s chances for victory and somewhat disheartened the follow- ers, still, after much hard practice and coaching on the part of Mr. Waters, a fair team was turned out, winning six out of fif- teen games played. Rich, ’05, easily excelled in playing and scoring. Fitzroy, ’05, threw 10 baskets in two games. Casavant, ’05, also pla3 ed well for a practically green man, and was the only man to play in every game. As to the outlook for the coming season, it is none too bright. We lose four men b ' graduation, a forward, center, and two backs. Those that are left of the team are not wholh to be depended upon to keep up in both studies and training. Nev- ertheless, I think the material is in school now which, with good training and conscientious work, can be rounded into shape, and I see no reason why we should not turn out a good fast team and uphold the reputation we made on the gridiron last fall.

The ])owling team was a new addition to our school this 3’ear, but judging from the manner in which the champion Senior class defeated all other teams, it can readily be seen that their success is in keeping with the spirit and superiority of 1905. Bowling is rapidly spreading throughout various high schools in the East, and it is hoped that interest may place a quintet upon the board next year that will uphold the reputation of F. H. S.

Soon after school opened, members o f last year’s Glee Chib met and discussed plans for the ])resent year. The club decided to reoricanize and the following officers were elected: Mr. John David Lloyd, h G. C. M., Director and Manager; Harold Chand- ler, Assistant Manager and Treasurer; H. A. Schofield, Secretary. A few new members were voted on and the club started work at once 'for their first concert. On the evening of Nov. 28, with Miss Maud Beach of New York as assisting artist, the boys made their first appearance. The result of careful training was very manifest and the audience showed their apjireeiation by repeatedly calling the club back for encores. On Dec. 10 the club went to Ashburnham, accompanied by some of the fair sex, and gave a very delightful concert, followed bv a banquet at the hotel. The sleighing was sujierb and every one, including the older members of the club, had a fine time. The club makes its last appearance at the Senior Promenade, fur- nishing the preliminary concert. The members are: First tenor, Harold Chandler, Mr. Messen- ger, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Dodge; second tenor, Robert Humphreys, Herbert Robbins, Leslie Mossman; first bass, Bertram Hayes, Mr. Jo G Charles Sheehan; second bass, Mr. Hawes, Joseph Scho- field, Edgar Schofield. 58 SOCIALS FIRST SENIOR CLASS PARTY Tills iiKist aiis])ici()us affair in tlic liistory of the class occurred in Wallace hall Xov. 28, under the ehaperonage of Miss Greene, Miss Woodward, Mr. and Mrs. Messenger and Mr. Vosbiirg. The unusually large attendance was due, in a great measure, to the wisdom of the committee in choosing a time when so many college ])eople were at home for the Thanksgiving holidays. E. I’creival Coleman added much to the pleasure, and the party was extremely successful, both sociall} and financially. SENIOR RECEPTION The eustomar} reception of the high school faculty to the Seniors and their parents was given the evening of Dec. 9. That it was enjoyable goes without saying. For about an hour Mr, Woodbury, Mr. and Mrs. Randall and Miss Woodward received in the artistically decorated library , after which an entertainment was given in the assembly hall In the high school glee club, the orchestra, and Miss Webber of Cushing academy. From that time, for the space of an hour or two, refreshments were served, and dancing was indulged in b3 the 3'ounger set, while the older ones inspected the building. ZETA PHI On the evening of Dec. 19, Delta Chapter of Zeta Phi frater- nit}' gave their first annual dance. Wallace hall was most taste- fulh' decorated with palms and laurel, and was indeed a pretty sight. The music by E. Percival Coleman was delightfully ren- dered. The members’ mothers received the guests, who showed Iw their large numbers that Zeta Phi’s “first attempt” was a grand success. LAMBDA SIGMA One of the prettiest parties of. the season occurred in the fifth annual dance of the Lambda Sigma fraternity, Zeta Chapter, GO Dec. 28. Wallace hall looked its best, decked with holly and red Christmas bells in a striking, novel wa . Before the dancing the patronesses received. E. Percival Coleman played, and light re- freshments were served in the annex. Later an informal Easter dance was held April 20, in the same hall, with Mr. and Mrs. Messenger, Miss Brown and Mr. Joy as chaperons. Both had a large attendance and were thor- oughly enjoyable. SENIOR DEBATE The Senior argumentation classes of Miss O’Toole and Miss Brown gave a public debate in assembly hall Feb. 24. The cpies- tion was: “Resolved, That immigration under present conditions is detrimental to the United States.” The affimative side was taken by Schofield, leader, and Misses Lennon, Hall and Lewis; the negative by Miss French, leader, Foley, and Misses Tucker and Roach. The judges, who were Mr. F. F. Woodward, Mrs. E. P. Miller and Rev. A. W. Littlefield, gave the decision to the negative. X Y Z Here was really another one of our class parties gotten up on the sly ; but Fred S. Plumer and Carl W. Sawyer shouldered the responsibilities, and entertained their friends most royally on April 14. The affair was one of those where everybody had a good time, “Percy” adding much by his capable playing. Mrs. Plumer, Mrs. Sawyer and Mrs. Seidel acted as chaperons. GARDNER PARTY According to the custom of some years, the members of the Gardner Senior class invited the Seniors of Fitchburg to a dance in the assembly hall of Gardner high school, April 28. A receiv- ing line composed of the principal, some of the faculty, and the secretary of the Gardner class stood before the platform, on which was stationed the orchestra. After the reception, dancing was enjoyed until 11.30, when the Fitchburgers left for home on their “special.” The attendance from this school was about thirty-five. Miss Gifford and Miss Fosdick acting as chaperons. 61 PRIZE SPEAKING AND ESSAY CONTEST Tlic third annual ])rizc S])eakin and essay contest took ])laee in the hi,Lrh school asscinl)ly hall at 11 A. M. I'riday, A])ril 2S. I'he JndL es were Kev. Alexis V. Stein, (i. K. Hudson, Ivscj., and Mrs. C. V. S])ring. Out of the nine eoni])etitors from the Senior and junior classes, Miss Jean McTaggart was awarded the prize for the s])eaking of “ Ma,t dalena,” and Clarence Allen’s essay on “Advertising” ’ained first ])laec anion the four excellent ones ofiered. The winners were both of the Senior class. The ])rizes, which were ofiered by the Alumni Association, were five-dollar gold ])ieees. While the decision was being made, the orchestra l layed and the school song was sung. SECOND SENIOR CLASS PARTY The Seniors held their second class party in Wallace hall, Fri- day evening, Ma}’ 18, with an attendance of about eighty cou])les. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Messenger, Miss Woodward and Miss O’Toole. Harold Knight played for the dancing, and a general good time was in order. 62 r KOASTS iCrt luit ill thr rnmlnit, an lunitlr an briiilit, rCrltrr rarrii a Iirart-ntaiii autai| luitli itn l1la .

(But April 27 allays our suspicions.) 64 Mr. Wooclljury, after addressing the boys in a five-minute lec- ture, remarks, “I hope this single word will be sufficient.” Miss O’Toole remarks that “Youth is Joy.” Mr. Vosburgh informs Wyman that his proof is like board- ing-house hash — we’ve had it before.

And Phil was beat, And was absent from school The rest of the week. He , diddle, diddle. Miss Grotty and the fiddle. And Ducharme with his violin, too ; The others may laugh and say it is calf, But I think they’re friendly, don’t you ? “My hair is red,” Miss Donlon said, “I don’t know what to do.” “I tell ou what,” said Miss M3dott, “ Pd dye it if I were you.” CAUSERIES Mr. Hartwell (asking questions in astronomy) — “Now, then, will 3'ou take me — ” Miss Kelle q ’06, (quickh ) — “No, sir!” First student — “ What paper is that you arc looking through ?” Second student — “The last issue of the “Red and Gra3 ” First student — “You seem to l)e looking for something.” Second student — “Yes, I am looking for the notice of Presi- dent Lincoln’s death.” 70 “Bug House!” said Edgar, as he bit into a wormy ehestnut. Miss Woodward to Hession — “Why don’t you grow?” Hession — “ Ditto.” Gushing Normal girl — “Oh, Miss Fosdiek, so glad to meet you I Are you a freshman?” Bant_y — “Sehofield, what is remorse?” Sehofield— “ The day after.” MeCarty, with his book open, reeiting poetry. Teaeher — “What do you think of ‘self helps’ to poetry?” Hilda (referring to sleighride) — “Don’t wear your dip to-night, Ulie. ” Ulie — “Why not?” (And a wieked junior whistles a bar from “Always in the Way.”) Mr. Vosburgh — “Now is there any one who ean’t see?” (A signal for the elass to look intelligent.) “Mr. Woodbury is, I understand, a pillar of the ehureh.” “Yes — ah — a sort of eaterpillar.” Miss Sleeper and Mr. Woodbur3 talking.

I want a sj)oc)ii.“ IMuiner — “ I ean’t smoke and study too, so I don’t study.’’ (Well, anyway, it’s better to smoke here than hereafter.) Miss Ilazen thinks Dinkey Hartwell might be pleasant to meet in the dark. Why is Hilda like an allegor ? Beeaiise she has a moral (Morrifl). We wonder why Pateh always glanees at the pedals of the piano. Mr. Woodbury has asked for moral (Morrill) support for the baseball team. We wonder if he wants Diekinson also. We wonder wh_v Miss Lyons persists in translating “ Rhein- hardt’’ “Richard.’’ As Doc. Obear through his lecture plods. Expounding doctrines deep. Each head in peaceful slumber nods; He puts them all to sleep. “Alma Mater, we’ll love for aye” (A).
