V Alfred BelIield's another great sprinter Who sets a most terrible pace, He.-Xlways wins his share of applause, Even if he loses the race. VI Third on my list is Richard Breed, Our good pitcher with awful speed, There is a girl whom Richard knows, NVho cares naught for the other beaux. VII Edgar Cope is the next in mind, A basket-hall player quite refined. When his team is down in a hole I-le falls asleep and misses the goal. VIII Eddie Doyle, our President, ls always on some pleasure bent, - When for a left held ball he tries He gets the laugh, but misses flies. IX There are three boys, well-known fussers Evans, Iellett and james Franks- lrVho send their love to young ladies, But the ladies return it with thanks. X Gillespie, Cricketer, basso deep, VVho howls hard and sings us to sleep, In making runs he's never late, With batting average one naught eight. XI Then there's Herbert Knox, comedian, VVho amuses us with his fung If he ean't find a joke to crack He places puns upon our track. XII Now next is David McKinley, A boy who is sound to the core, And when his school days are ended His thoughts will be turned to war.

CLASS POEM I To-night, my fellow-classmates, we're leaving old G. A., e Some fold their tents like the Arabs and as sil- ently steal away, And some may go to college, while others go to work, But whatever in the future lies-we're not the boys to shirk. II Now, classmates, let us not forget the spirit of our sehool, But on the world's broad Held let her coaching be our rule. Through college days and later years long may the people say: VVe've kept the faith we learned so well in the lfalls of old G. A. III XVe've had our ups and downs, we've also had our fun . And done our level best to keep others on the run. But now that our tasks are over my duty is to try To tell the tale of win or lose of the class ot double I. ' IV HGFCYS Allen, our great mile runner. The cutest of all on the track, Is likely to be just starting Vlfhen others are hurrying back.

XIII Harold Mason, so good and just, Cares the most for his auto fast, Most any day in clouds of dust You can behold him, flying past. XIV Clark Nichol is our football end, Against all comers We can send, Who catches punts and tackles right And plays the game with all his might. XV Iimmy Pletcher, the next, we see, An ever smiling face has he. Jokes without end our Jim piles up- From early morn till time to sup. XVI To Charles Spiegel we make our bow And hail our football captain now, A mighty man with brawny arm WVho lights all battles without harm. XVII Now here is Elliott Stinson dear, A Henry Vlfeston we have here, To walk and talk all over school And run from lessons is his rule. XVIII I-lere's Sterrett, crack electrician, Who is now fast winning a name, Some day we'll hear of our Willard As the man of great wireless fame XIX Guilliam VVells is here at last, A wonderful boy, hard to surpass, Academy Monthly editor grand, NVho will with all his laurels stand. XX Last on my list is Steve Whitbyg An always hungry boy is he, XrVho eats and eats, then looks about, Eats again till supplies run out.
