Lila Miller Senior When we. the class of 'll. first entered the High School the Faculty thought us an inexplicably complex compound of hopeless ignorance. Of course the finite mind of a Freshman could not comprehend such wisdom, but we had our suspicions that this was no compliment and thereupon set to work to show our strength. We fairly sharked in the English; why we mastered Shakespeare in a fortnight; knew Milton and Browning by heart, and would have presumed, had Scott been living, to tell him a few thing, about novelwriting. We are Mr. Nuzum's favorite class. He has taught us Science for four years and declares that he regrets not having the opportunity to teach us another. But we think, as he has many times said, that we are al- History ready “too smart. so have decided henceforth to study no more Science. Mr. Platt taught us History in our Junioi year. He fairly preached the French Revolution to us; the condition of the peasants; the storming of the Bastile. the death of Louis XV. all caused by the leaders. Mira-bean, Robespiere and Danton. He also taught us how to talk correctly. We now say Richard the Third instead of Richard three-eye. Four long years have we spent in an atmosphere of superb wisdom. Behold what a change has taken place! Our heads are bulging with ideas. Our ignorance has turned to bliss and we are now ready to step out into the world and mould the thought of future ages.

H. S. was a great epoch in its history, for we have been as a shining light which brightens the path of the Freshman and Sophomore and makes the Senior quake with fear lest our light burn brighter than his. We had the distinction of being the largest class that had yet entered the High School—we were ninety-three. PRESENT We were ninety and three when we bravely entered the sheltering fold of the G. H. S., but where, oh where have some strayed? Look away down in yon- der valley upon a great flock contentedly grazing on inferior pasture! They were afraid of the thorns and rocks on the steep mountain side. Only the brave ones, forty in all, have dared to climb. To be sure, it has not been all pleasure; we have a few burrs. Many are footsore and bedraggled, but have not given up. The freshness of the uplands is too inviting. FUTURE Just wait till we are Seniors! We expect to be the largest, the most brilliant, the most cultured and the most superlatively fine class that has ever been graduated from Grafton High School.

We were delighted that we were to have the attention of such a pleasant and highly efficient corps of instructors; from our experiences of the past year, we wish to say that we have not been disappointed in our expectations. We have progressed rapidly in our work, and now. at the close of the year, feel that we have made an important step in the stairway of education. The chief function of the year was the reception given by the classes of ’ll ’12 ’13 in honor of the Freshmen, and we take this opportunity of thanking these classes for affording us such a pleasant evening. Sentiments of (1) We are very fond of History, Arithmetic’s very well; We cannot speak for Latin, But our English is just swell. (2) Our Algebra, too. is very good; Our conduct’s simply snappin’; And. if we keep the good work up. Something s bound to happen. We think our principal fault is that we fully understand the meaning of humor, as we are especially noted for the numerous predicaments in which we often find ourselves. Still, in the years to come, we hope that this same humorous feeling will not wholly wear away and leave in its place nothing but cold, philosophical, money-getting schemes. We think that the High School is the best place we have ever hung up our hats, and our one great wish is for a new High School Building in which to hang them. We have enjoyed this, our first year, and look forward with pleasant anticipations, to our three remaining years in the High School. —Historian the Freshmen (3) We’ll lick the Japs from off the earth. Canada, we’ll annex; We’ll smoke the pipe of Wm. Taft, And be known from East to West. (4) We’ll see what nation leads the world. When we get into power; And make the class of old fourteen The leader of the hour. C. J. s.

Before the men took her away in the big white box and papa brought us this other mamma we didn’t have to go to bed hungry. “No. answered Hilda, “and our good mamma didn’t whip us for things we didn't do or that we knew nothing about. Oh I do wish we had our other mamma again and had a big nice house and could have nice thing and go nice places like Edna Knight. A few more remarks and a few more sobs and the two curly headed children turned in their little beds to try once more to go to sleep. Just at sleep came, they seemed to be carried up, up, up, they knew not where and put down before a small golden gate. I hey had forgotten now about their hunger and their new mamma; they were conscious of nothing except the beautiful things about them. Brother, where are we? I never saw such a pretty place before, did you? “I don't know where we are I am sure, replied Fred, but our ride seemed more like a fairy ride than any-;hing else. The children were in a place they had never been before: they scarcely knew what had happened. After walking around under the shade trees for a while, they went nearer to the gate trying to find out where they were. When they came near enough to see the jeweled letters. Hilda read the words. The Fairyland of Clouds. Oh Fred! she almost shouted, “we are in Fairyland. We did get our wish that we might go some place! Come quick! let us go through the little gate and see what is in side. Taking her brother by the hand she fairly dragged him toward the gate. Just as they reached it, the tiniest little person they had ever seen met them. He was the gate-keeper and was dressed in a dainty little suit of green. He spoke to them in to see her the guide would take them to Fairy Park, where she spent most of her time. To go to a Fairy Park and see a Fairy Qyeen would be enough to make any two children who had had more pleasures in life than Hilda and Fred, dance; so you will not be surprised to hear that they clapped their hands and danced for joy. The guide now brought two little white ponies for them to ride as the park was about a mile away. One of the ponies Fred recognized as the pony he had seen in the street. Oh! Mr. Guide may I ride that pony and have him for mine while I am here?'1 asked Fred, as he ran toward the guide. The guide smiled at the little boy’s eagerness, but told him that he was in Fairyland. After the guide had helped Hilda to mount her pony he then climbed upon his own little white charger which Fred said was a good one but not as good as his tiny pony. The guide and the visitors now rode for a mile through the most beautiful country one could imagine. On each side of the smooth road were wide fields with just enough trees to make them look cool and inviting. There were hundreds of birds singing sweet little songs to them and thousands of bright-eyed flowers whose perfume was wafted to them like sweet incense, nod- ded from the grasses. Off to the right ran a river on whose glassy surface many fairy boats were sailing; to the left they could see the clump of trees which the guide told them was the park. But fairy man. said Hilda, what is that great white thing that sparkles so. away up there on that hill? That. little visitor, said the guide, is our beautiful Queen's castle. I he Fairy Qyeen and the throne are the most beautiful thing in our land. Just you wait until you see our Queen on her throne and you will surely think so. Qyeen May is the best Qyeen ever fairies were blessed with. By this time the party of three had reached the park gate. I hey entered the park and the guide introduced the children to the park-keeper. He took them to a little vine-covered summer-house where he told them to rest while he brought them a park-guide. While they were waiting for the new guide they looked around them to see if the park was as pleasant as they thought it would be. And was it? Yes. It more than equaled their anticipations. The little fairy forms were thick, flitting here and there among the flowers and trees. Not far away several white rabbits were hopping about in the grass, and in a tree top near by the squirrels were jumping about. Under the trees a low, piping voice that sounded almost like a bird chirping. “How do you do, little strangers? Is there anything you wish of me? Is there anything special that you came for? “1 don’t know I am sure, answered Hilda, clinging to her brother. We do not know how we got here or what we came for. but every thing looks so beautiful inside that gate that we would like to go in if you don't mind. “Indeed I don’t mind, answered the little green fairy, we are always glad to have visitors. You just wait here and 1 will call a guide for you. Going to a small house near the gate, he soon returned with a man about his own size who was also dressed in green. The guide proved to be as pleasant as the gate-keeper and. after a friendly greeting to the little strangers as he called them, he started with them for a tour through Fairyland. The first place the guide took them was to the capital city, but the children found only a few things of interest here. The shop windows were full of beautiful toys and good things to eat. “Oh Hilda! Exclaimed Fred, don’t you wish we had that tiny pony and cart. “Yes and the dolly too.” said Hilda: “but look at those apples and oranges! I would rather have some of them than all the toys.” The guide hearing this wish gave each an orange and apple and they were satisfied. The most interesting t h in gs were those they saw in the streets. The beautiful little fairies were flitting about here and there, or talking to one another. As the visitors p a s se d them they would smile and speak brightly to them. Little carriages with tiny fairy ponies hitched to them were hurrying hither and thither. One of these interested Fred more than anything he had seen yet. He clung to its neck, petted it and wished a thousand times that it were his. He would have been perfectly happy to stay there and see no more of Fairyland, but the guide promised him more beautiful things. After travelling some distance the guide and the little strangers reached a large white marble building, which the guide told them was the home of the Fairy Qyeen. The Qyeen was not home, but if the children wished were deer roaming, all unconscious of the presence of the fairies near them; away down the hill they saw the same sparkling river which they had seen on the way to the park. On the river proud swans were leisurely swimming as sail-floats on the blue sea. The guide now came to them. Where are you going to take us now?” Hilda asked as she saw he had their ponies waiting. I. said this guide, “am going to take you to see the Qyeen. You ought to think more of me than any of the other guides, for you see Qyeen May is the most important person in Fairyland and 1 am her chief guide. It is I who take little boys and girls like you to see the Qyeen.1 All this he said in a half teasing tone but with a bright pleasant smile that won the hearts of the children at once. By this time they had reached the Qyeen's summer home where her beautiful throne had been built, since a short winter allowed her to spend the most of her time in the park. Here sat the Queen on her beauti- ful white jeweled throne which sparkled and shon so that they could scarcely look at it. The Queen was smaller than her guides. Her hair was soft and wavy and such a beautiful golden color that Fred said afterwards her hair must have been spun from pure gold. Her eyes were deep blue and sparkled so when she smiled that they looked almost like diamonds. As the children entered she said; “Come to me. little strangers, my messenger just told me you were in Fairyland. After 1 get acquainted with you I have a little surprise for you. Her smile was so sweet and her words so soft and musical that they could not help going to her. She asked them questions about their home and what they did there and then she told them about her home and the pleasant times she had. After she had talked to them for some time a messenger in green told them that the surprise was ready With one of the children on each side of her, the Queen took them to the great reception hall where all the guests were entertained. “Now children’ she said, I will tell you what the surprise is. You have often heard of fairy dances but you never have seen one. now I am going to have my fairies dance for you. The children were given seats on one side of the hall, by the chief guide who winked at the children and spoke gravely to the Queen. They were now given a few minutes before the dance to explore with their eyes every beautiful thing in the hall. and the beautiful things were not few. There were fairy statues, beautiful flowers and cages of singing birds here and there. Now the fairy orchestra began playing on the other side of the room and tiny fairy forms began to come from every direction. After they had all collected, the dance began. First they danced in small circles then in larger circles and then circle inside of circle, until the motley collection of delicate colors was like a bright rainbow in the morning. They danced and danced until thechildren thought they would surely give out. Hilda and Fred had seen a few beautiful things in their lives but this collection of colors and tiny fairy forms surpassed them all. “Oh Queen May, said Hilda, “If we could always live with you we would be always happy.” “That can not be. answered the Queen, “but many times when the beautiful white clouds are floating in the blue sky you can come to Fairyland in your thoughts and visit me. I will always be glad to have you. The fairy music go! lower and lower, the dancers dimmer and more indistinct. Then the sweet Fairy Qyeen seemed to fade out of sight. The children felt themselves carried down, down, down and, opening their eyes, they found themselves in their own little beds with the sun shining brightly in at the window. With bright faces they climbed out of bed to greet the beautiful new morning. '“{Bertie Lucas. The R Listen here, Jackie! ‘‘Well, I’m listening.” Here’s part of the reward paid by the Carnegie Hero Fund last week. One man in Ohio gets $1000 and a silver medal for saving a neighbor from drowning. Here’s another that gets $2000 an’ a silver medal for rescuing a child from the front of a train. Another man in Pennsylvania gets $5000 for stopping a runaway horse and here’s a boy what—1 Ah. cut it out. will you? What good do you think that will do us Steve? Now you know we could never be heroes anyhow. How do you know we couldn’t? If I could do something sensational 1 might get my girl back from that loony college sport, Joe Sanford. Just because he’s been to college a year an' played foot ball, all the girls are just crazy about him. We could divide the money. The two young men were sitting on the ground in the shade of a big tree, dreaming away the hours. It was a hot July day—one that is likely to make one lazy, and also dreamy, if so inclined. Both young men lived in a pretty little town, situated by one of those lakes, which are so characteristic of Maine. If we did happen to get the $2000. 1 could take that correspondence course easy enough, and you get .escuer a dandy motor-boat and then have plenty left,” answered Jack. “That's why we ought to try it. We’ll have a dandy chance tomorrow. You know they are going to have that picnic on the island and everybody will go over on the boat. Sure, and all you will have to do is to fall overboard and yell cramps then I will dive right after you and hold you up until they throw me a rope. You see eyerybody will be there to see. so we ll have plenty of witnesses. I’ll be a hero and we both will have all kinds of money. “Yes, and what’s more your old girl. Miss Lake, will see what a mistake she made, and you will have it easy after that. “Sure, and we will both get our pictures in the paper and a nice long ‘spiel’ besides. continued Steve. 1 hus the would-be hero and his companion planned for the morrow. Promptly at nine o’clock the next morning, two young men boarded the Dixie, which was to be the scene of their adventure, as well as their conveyance to the island. They were both lightly attired, so that their clothes would not burden them in the water, but the fact that their pictures would in all probability be taken for the paper caused them to dress in their best. However, they had decided that they could well afford to ruin their best for $1000. The boat was crowded with picnicers. both old and young. The sun was shining brightly, the lake was smooth making it an ideal day for such an outing. Steve and Jack soon found some of their friends and were evidently enjoying themselves, but the fact that Joe Sanford had Miss 1-ake’s basket on one arm and the young lady herself on the other caused Steve not a little worry. “Ah. never mind Steve, whispered Jack, you II show him and the rest of the “muts up pretty soon.” The boat was now in deep water, churning along, making pretty good time. “Now's our chance. Steve, let’s get busy! Sure Jackie! Gee. but this is going to be soft! Now we'll get into an argument, then you climb on the rail and tumble off. “So they began. ' Whose motor boat is that over there Steve? “That ain't a motor, answered Steve, quickly, taking his cue. “thats a rock.” “Rock, nothing! Any fool could see that’s no rock, argued Jack, as he climbed on the rail, apparently to get a better view. Most everybody, having been attracted by the loud argument, was watching Jack 1 tell you it is a— Just then he seemed to lose his footing, grasp at the empty air, and then disappear over the side amid a shout of laughter. He struck the water disappeared amid the waves, then came to surface hollooing cramps! help! and then disappearing again. Get out of my way! Don’t you see he's drowning? shouted Steve. Being in a hurry to get on the rail he missed his footing and followed the course of Jack, only a little more gracefully. He shot head downward. struck the water with hands extended, then came up a few yards from Jack. He had no more than reached the surface, when something hot gripped each leg like a vise, holding them and pulling him downward. He did not realize that he was under water, until he tried to get his breath, drawing in water in his nose and mouth and smothering him. He seemed to be sinking, sinking, and dropping through space. Then of a sudden his head shot up. through the water, permitting him to see some one heading toward him. He now seemed to be all in a knot, sinking again, while everything before him turned yellow, then red. then black. What happened after that, he did not know. When he became conscious again, he found himself lying on deck, surrounded by a crowd of people. What’s the matter; where am I at? asked Steve. When told, he wanted to know who saved him. “Joe Sanford ’ answered Jack. He saved us both.” The next morning both had the pleasure of reading the following article in the paper. Messers. Steve Harting and Jack Chance, both prominent young men of this town, unfortunately fell overboard the ‘Dixie’ yesterday and were taken with cramps. Mr. Chance having become excited while arguing with Halting fell from the rail, where he had climbed, in order to get a better view of the subject of their argument. Almost everyone witnessed his mistake. but only a few saw Harting fall, as all were watching Chance! “However Mr. joe Sanford, just home from college, rescued both at the risk of his own life. Chance soon recovered but Harting was almost drowed. Without a doubt, both young men owe their lives to the heroic action of Mr. Sanford. 1 guess 1 wasn’t cut out for a hero. Steve remarked rather crossly.1' Ah. what's the dif, answered Jack. “You was almost a hero. —Robert 'Dunnington. Molly’s There was great excitement in Daleville. I hree girls were lost! They had been at school on Tuesday and had planned an excursion for that afternoon, from which they did not return. All the next day nothing was seen of them. I heir parents and friends began to be gravely alarmed. What had become of them? Where were they now? Were they drowed? Many believed that they had been kidnapped, but as no letter demanding money had been received by any of their parents, this did not seem probable. Several searching parties had been organized and sent out. The whole town was excited and alarmed. A group of their classmates in High School was talking the matter over. Wouldn't it be fine if one of us would find them? said one of the girls. Yes indeed! they exclaimed. Let’s all try, Lucy Morris said; and the girls decided that they would do what they could to find the missing ones. 1 his was Friday and the next day they would have a long time to hunt. It certainly will be a great honor, said Beth Edwards as they parted, besides saving their lives if they are starving any place. The girls all seemed to think that it would be very simple and easy to do a thing which the searching parties had not yet accomplished. Island Molly Getz was determined to find them if possible. Maybe it’ll make my classmates like me better, she thought. “I'm poor and can't dres as well as they do. and I'm not brilliant and pleasant to talk to, but maybe if I do something heroic they would like me. And think of those poor girls off someplace by themselves maybe starving; Oh! if I just could find them! She thought about it all evening and the next morning while she was doing her work. “Where would they like to go on an excursion?” She knew where she would like to go. That was to an island about two miles from town. She had often longed to go there and spend the day. But was it probable that they would think of it, or go there if they did? After some thinking she decided that it was worth risking. They might have gone there and while they were exploring the island the boat might have floated away or been stolen. To the island she would go. But where would she get a boat? There were some boats around there, owned by summer boarders, but she did not know any of them. She was very worried until she thought of “Crazy Ike.” Crazy Ike was an old Irishman who lived about a mile from town. He was not crazy, but he was much feared by all the boys and girls around there. He owned a boat. As she had no other choice Molly decided to ask him to lend it to her. That afternoon she walked the mile to “Crazy Ike’s house. She was very much frightened as she knocked at the door. Some of the boys had said that he kept two very fierce bull dogs. She half expected them to jump at her when the door was opened, but it was “Crazy Ike. What d’ yer want? he almost growled. “I would like-—would you—could I borrow—your boat? she asked meekly. What do you want with my boat? he asked gruffly. 1 wanted to row out to the island. Molly answered. What d’ yer want to go out to the island fur. all by yerself? he asked. “Why. said Molly nervously, I just wanted to go, and the girls are all busy. Well now. I don’t s’pose I orter let yer have it, seein’ it might get away frum yer and carry yer down stream and I wouldn't get it back, but if yer want to take that heavy boat out to the island in this hot sun 1 guess I don’t care. With that he shut the door without giving Molly time to thank him. She was soon off to the boat. It was never locked because no one ventured near “Crazy Ike very often, so Molly jumped in and started towards the island. She had not dreamed that it would be so hard. The oars were so heavy, the sun was very hot and to her tired arms the boat scarcely seemed to move. As she had a rather long distance to row the sun was getting well towards the west when she reached the island. It looked very cool and inviting under the big shade trees, but it was getting late and she must not stop to rest. She then began to search the island. It was a small island, but to tired Molly it seemed very large. As she hunted around over the island she thought how nice it would be to have a picnic there. She went on and on. peeping behind every rock and clump of bushes. She was nearly around the island now, and was about to give up when she turned the corner of a big rock and came upon the girls. They were sitting on the ground near the rock. One of them, worn out with hunger and crying, had fallen asleep. The other two were sitting near her, one looking across the river to the shore which it was impossible for them to reach, the other softly crying. When they saw Molly they started up with glad cries that awakened the sleeping girl. They were very eager to know how she came to think of the island; how she got there; how they were at home, and numberless other questions. She answered them as patiently as she could, for she was as eager to hear their story. When they became quiet enough to tell their story one of the girls said, “We wanted to have some fun Tuesday and thought we would come here, for we heard you talk of this island; how you liked to come here and spend the time alone. So we borrowed Miss Arthurs boat and came out after school. We stayed on the island a long time and we were having so much fun that we did not start back to the boat till sunset. When we went down to the beach the boat was gone. Whether it had become loose and floated away, or some one had stole it we did not know. We were terribly frightened the first night here, and all next day we kept calling, but no one heard. We found a few be lated blackberries, but they were all used up yesterday, and we are terribly hungry. Maybe ‘Crazy Ike’ will give you something to eat. Molly said. The girls said that they would be afraid to ask him, but when they learned how he had lent his boat to Molly, they decided to try. It was dusk when they reached the shore. They wanted to hurry home, but decided to stop at “Crazy Ike’s. He was very surprised to see the girls, for he had heard of their strange disappearance. He gave them plenty to eat and told Molly that the next time she wanted his boat he wouldn't ask so many questions. After they had eaten they left with quite a different opinion of Crazy Ike. Of course everybody was surprised and delighted to know that the girls had been found. The next day. when the story went through the town Molly was quite a heroine. One of the girls said. Who would have thought that Molly would be so brave? My. I wouldn’t have gone near 'Crazy Ike’ for anything. Say girls let’s call that island ’Molly's Island.' The girls all thought it would be a fine plan. Molly was a great favorite with them. now. The winter set in and the girls took no more trips to Molly’s Island till the next summer, when they had many a fine picnic there. —M. L. L. 1914. Social Life of School Reception to Fir t Year Class Wednesday evening. Nov. 23, 1910, Wehn’s Hall was the scene of one of the most enjoyable events of the school year when the Senior. Junior, and Second Year classes entertained the members of the First Year classes: The first part of the evening was somewhat formal, but later the restraint was removed and a jolly good time was had playing games and doing “stunts.’’ No part of the evening’s entertainment was more enjoyed than the doughnuts and pumpkin pie. Junior-Senior Banquet The members of the Junior class gave their annual banquet in honor of the Seniors. Thursday evening May 18. 1911. at Wehn’s Hall. Seniors always look forward to this courtesy shown by the Juniors.

The Students’ Creed We believe in sneering at the ability of our teachers, the makers of our grades, and in disobeying our principal, who, suffering under our misbehavior, is worried, cross and down hearted; the fourth year we rise in the estimate of our class mates; ascend into the Senior Class, and sit at the right hand of our High School Faculty; from thence they shall come to judge the good and the bad. We believe in cheating, in chewing gum during the absence of the teachers, in forgiveness of misbehavior, in the resurrection of low grades; and good times everlasting: “Yea it shall be so.
