pers, fish and iiowers. It isgreatly feared by Miss Thompson that some of our discoveries will revolutionize the science of biology, though this is our first year at it. On account of the keenrivalry among the classes this year, our class spirit has been stronger than ever before. on May 4th We gave a program that will long be remembered by all who saw it. It succeeded beyond four wildest hopes, and we are certain that it com- pared favorably With the programs given by the other classes. It is doubtful if any other class furnishes 'as ,many talented literary workers as does our class. We do not say this merely to boast, but simply to state the truth. This early eminence in literature foretells, a bright future for us, for literary Work trains in the pupil that part of his mind that he will most need. As We close the school year We review our work with as much sadness as pride, for it Will be many days before we hear again the merry songs of the chapel or the happy voices of classmates. But there is a' great satisfaction in a work well done, and hence we are happy, even though school closes. When next you hear of us we will be juniors, and we look for- ward to our work in that year with pleasant anticipation. Without a doubt it will be like our preceding years, as respects work and achievements, as well as the brightest, happiest year of our lives. An now all who would know more about us are asked to follow the advice given in one of our yells 1- ' SAY- .

FOOL despiseth the prof's admon- ition and studieth not, but when examination cometh around, doth he not, in truth, get up against it? Beware of the junior, girlfor she breaketh the heart and 'careth not a blankety-blank, neither doth she pretend to repair the dam- age. The sophomore practiceth each night up- on the play and lol it taketh two literary critics, a large yellow dog and a wooden In- dian to tell him from Richard Mansfield. Windy communeth much with 'the 'moon and shaketh ,oft his dancing pumps, but didst thou say he glommeth not the grades? The sophomore maketh out his study re- port in full, but next morning, behold! he knoweth not the page of his lesson. He that conneth well shall get a pass, but he that dependeth on his rep, a fool is he. Forty. per cent is the inheritance of the eiglgh grader and a pass is the gift of the Lor . Beware of the 'eighth grader and shun him as a scourge, for doth not ignorance ooze from his very pores? X The eighth grader pineth for the notice of the upper classmen, but when he getteth to be a senior he straightway forgetteth all about it. I A 'soft answer turneth away wrath, but goeth not in a Math examination. ' Whoso parteth with his horse getteth a condition plastered upon him, and toileth like an iron foundry ere he removeth the same. The farmer lad' inibibeth much knowledge from his science teacher, and parteth with rural superstitionsg but until the dark of the moon he soweth nary a potato, It is a wise senior who falleth not down upon his N0vid. l It is better to be right than tonbe pl-esi- diellli, and it is better to con than to be right.

VER since the foundation of colleges, ever since the beginning of history, yea, ever since Adam and Eve ate the apple in the garden, freshmen have been the object of gross misrepresentation and abuse. It is therefore the object of this paper to make known to mankind a few of our most worthy deeds, trusting that all who read them will know instantly that we are not only upright, intelligent and loyal students but that we are the ablest and most important class in the whole school. But, notwithstanding, all of our good qualities, we have been shamefully mistreated by the sophs, juniors and seniors. On September 5th, when the great throng of boys and girls mingled in the chapel room, all the classes, it is true, were exeedingly large, but lo! the freshmen class led all the rest. This class numbered' over sixty, the largest one lever enrolled in the Greenfield high school. While we possessed the quantity we also had the quality, this was probably the cause of the juniors and seniors looking up- to us with such envy and hate which only served to make us strive harder each day to so far surpass them that they would wish they were in some deep hole or away back in some deep forest where they could see no human beings, nothing but their own rightful companions, the owls and rabbits. And so we did. ' Our class grew and grew and kept on -growing, in wisdom, so that the school board decid- ed we needed another pedagogue to teach us what we didn't already know, so by return 'mail, came in a brunette with black hair and large lustrous eyes, who almost inspired us with awe, she looked so intelligent. P Q When this new teacher was shipped in, our class was divided into two sections and each section tried to see which could do the better work, but each' one failed, since we were all so perfect that we couldn't be excelled by any one. We kept learning so many new things that by this time we were many times smarter than any other class in school. But some of our members 'by this time had decided their brain could be crammed no full- er, so they returned to their homes in the country Csome in townj to find out whether they had quite forgotten the use of the plow or the dish pan, for we believe in physical training as Well as intellectual. It was supposed that the plows and the dish pans worked well, for we have seen those boys and ,girls but few times since they left here. Our class is now especially noted for its great poet, Miss Bertha Shrewsbury, whom we all believe will someday win great fame and will be a Milton-ess or Wordsworth-ess the second: also, for its greatitheme writers, Misses Maude Vaughn, Maud Allison, Esther Nathan and Clyde Johnston. Two rare qualities to be possessed by freshmen. When we selected our class motto, Hesse quam videre, we resolved to live up to it, and we couldn't have succeeded any better than we have. We have had a delightful time regard- less of how we have been roasted, thumped-and bumped around, made fun of by the higher classmen, and we have nothing at all to regret as we think over our past Work. We have looked up to no one but ourselves: we have had our lessons well every day, we feel as if we have gained a victory, and as a reward for it, the expression on our professor's face seems to say: Well done, good and faithful servants. We firmly believe this. Although as freshmen we have been advisors on but few imdortant points, when we are seniors we intend to rule the whole school with our mighty power, for who is better qualified for such a high position than we? No one.
