, vi 'rl-In CLARION. 21 I considered that quite fi eompli- ment, -not to lnysilf but to Free- port High School. It. was rnther herd at first to ineke my studies connect with the studies of the class I entered, but by taking at few speeiuls with other elusses I mun- :Lged to keep along. I mn very sorry to sny tlmt Gorhzini High Sehool is not such n good, thor- ough sehool us F. I-I. S. in niuny wuys, but we :ire very fortunute in huving n. line priueipul who is endezw- oring' to improve the sehool in every wary possible. There ure only sixty sel1oln.rs in this school. My elnss consists of nine girls :ind live boys, but only live tzmke the Latin eourse. For our lest yenr we :ure-t:'Lki11g Cicero, Freneh, Astrononiy, Liters- ture, :ind Sfillust end Botany next term. , I think that of all I hnvo taken in the whole course that Latin is the ensiest und most interesting. lVe fin- ished Virgil in two terms and were sorry thut there were not six books more to reed. XVC have to study quite herd, but still find time to play :mud write notes. I regret to say that I do not feel :my remorse :Lt leaving selnool next June, but think I shull be rather glzul to finish my sehool life. NVus glndl wus not ut Freeport last full to share your disappointment with you in losing Mr. Mitchell. It must have been :L severe blow to you ull, but I eoiigrzitulnte you in luwing sueh zz. eornpetent person to fill his plnee. I must tell you ,what n. nice place Gorham I like Freeport none the less by eoining' here, but think I prefer Gor- ham the most. It is one of the pret- tiest plaees in smniner any one could wishg but it is intensely cold here in winter. Have mountains on all sides of us, and Mt. NVashington is in plain sight. We hive no fog' here but the air is nlwamys dry and bracing, and we have less rein :ind dzunpness than in Free- port. How I wish I were down there pre- paring for eoinineneenient with you! But I hope I may at least see'you graduate next June, if Ido not join your number 0'l1U9l1101't-3. IVhen we- first entered F. I-l. S. :is freshmen in '90, how for away and vague seemed our Senior your and g'1'flQllI21.lJl0Jll but I often think how Iupproprizmize is one of the quotations Mr. Mitehell gave us. Oh snmll beginning ! ye are great and strong. Based on fnitliful heart and wezxrilcss brain. Ye build the future mir, ye conquer wrong, Ye earn the crown and wear it not in vain. Josie E.
