.I UNH, 1921 31. frbangz urns The time has come to look over the last in- stallment of the exchanges. 'Phe year's work with them has been one of pleasure. The time spent has been Well Worth while and we have learned much in these hours. lt is indeed in- spiring to watch for exchanges and run through them, observing the improvements in the diiicer- ent departments and the new ideas being car- ried out. It is astonishing to see in how many different ways a good paper may be edited and the majority of papers have shown much origin- ality in this respect. , As this is the last issue of the year, THE 0aAci.a takes this opportunity to thank all the exchanges for their co-operation during the past year.

The members of the Class of 1921 will be the guests of the Association at that time. Tl1e Class of 1920 held its second reunion since its graduation last week at Vifellstown. A most enjoyable time was had by every one of the '20 grads, only a few of whom were forced to be absent. Fred H. Harris, '90, was recently elected acting cashier ofthe City National Bank of this city. Miss Etfa H. Spencer, '99, of San Francisco, Cal., recently visited friends here. Holhert VV. Fear, '09, B.

At tl1e Moving-Up Day exercises of the New York State College for Teachers at Albany, held May 16th, Miss Catharine Drury, '17, rep- resented the Junior Class of the college at the formal exercises in chapel.

The announceinent of the engageinent ot' t'atherine O. Saxe, of Des-Arc, Kansas, to Mil- to11 Loucks, the president of the 'Class of 191-1 of the High School, was recently 111ade. Miss Marion Treher, '18, was graduated re- cently witl1 the nurses' training class of the Ellis Ilospital, of Schenectady. The body of Private Glenn IJ. Hartin, '11, was brought to his l1o1ne here recently, and on June 5th was finally interred in the land for which he gave his. life. With his death, which occurred September 20th, 1918, the school lost a valued Alunmus, his classmates a respected friend, and his country a good citizen. Wesley A. Getman, '17, and Walter Haber- bush, were 1Il6ll1b9l'S of the graduating class of 1921 of Union College, Schenectady. Harry Starr, '16, who has reflected great credit, both upon himself and upo11 the Glov- ersville High School, was graduated recently from Havard University. Miss Ruth Gifford, '16, and Miss 'Edna lvlklll- eth, '17, are members of the graduating class of the New York State College for Teachers at Albany.

Ghz Qtlass ilaistorp CContinued from Page 73 ty, wandered lltfllld in l1a11d from their own side of the bleachers, when they saw the Seniors having such a b6!11Illitf'Ilt time. But S, while it stands for Seniors, stands also for speed, and one of the little fellows was quickly grabbed and -well I wo11 't stop to tell you what happened -but the other one of the innocent pair, when he saw what was happening to his dear little pal, turned and fled ignominiously homeward. The first eventually reached home, minus some of the least essential parts of his wardrobe Zlllll a few toys, but as for the second, all that we can think to say is, t'He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. A little while ago, the 'EQEIIII 111en1bers had their pictures taken, tonight, the record of their brilliant plays will appear in magazine form. As a reward for winning the ga111e, the players have received their tickets to the Alumni banquet, tl1e privilege of wearing the numeral '21, and their certificates of merit. BIARIUN SI'lt'l'1Ii V.

VVell, lct's quit and call it a day-as I have a date with an egg, and l don 't want to break it. Found in Somebody's French Book Not a long time to come, I remember it well, Alongside a poorhouse a maiden did dwell, She lived with l1er parents, l1er life was serene, Her age it was red, her hair was nineteen. The maid had a lover who close-by did dwell, A cross-legged ruffian and bow-eyed as well, ' Heisaid, Let us fly by the light of yon star, For you are the eye of my apple, you are. No, no, said the maid. Be cautious and wise Or my father will scratch out your nails with his eyes. If you really love me, don't bring me disgrace, Said the maid, as she buried her hands in her face. When tl1e rufiian heard this he knocked down tl1e maid, And silently drew out the knife of his blade, Then he cut tl1e throat of the maiden so fair, And dragged her about by the head of her hair.
