fHaaruliuc UV of the S rntora The masculine Seniors number ten, Of various names and occupations. And in this masterpiece 1 have written I make some slight prognostications. We have two grocers, Dick and Jim, To compare these would not be right, For they are two such direct antonyms With Jim so fat and Dick so slight. And next on the list of names there come Those of two scentists, Bill and Brains Whose great discoveries (that have made the world hum) Are the system of the wireless and why it rains. Then come two druggists—Oh my land sakes! Their names I’ll give, Edwin and Bryan Whose many and grave and great mistakes Have caused some men in their graves to be lyin’. Then there’s a farmer, Benson Westlake, Who grows great patches of seedless potatoes. And it is said that now he is trying to make Blackberry bushes grow ripe tomatoes. Now come the two I most forgot, They answer to the names of Joe and Blaine. To them I’ll give one parting shot, They surely have got the girl on the brain. The last ones named, it’s their own fault, Are those two loafers, Shuters and Art, Who never did nothin’ to earn their salt, And it don’t ’pear like they was goin’ to start. — Arthur Ewing Robkrts, T4.

A complete and detailed history of the class of ’14 will not answer to the call of my memory, so the reader will have to submit to merely a brief survey of some of the most interesting incidents in connection with our four years of High School life. First as Freshmen we became a part of thai division of the school called the High School, which, although it is so closely connected with the first part of our school life, yet seemed to us far separated from it. Our hearts were so filled with pride at the thought of being the first Freshman class to enter the new High School Building; but in this we were greatly disappointed, for the building was not completed in time, as I suppose you all know. Nevertheless we were F reshmen whether we were to occupy a room in the new building or in the old, and that thought alone was enough to make us very proud. On the first day we entered upon our new life with fear and trembling, for everything was carried on in a manner strange indeed to us; and we now had so many teachers, while before we had been accustomed to having only one per year. We did our best in our work that year, excepting that one “freshie” gave, “think-thank-thunk’ ’ for the principal parts of think, and another said to the teacher one day, Mcthinks I’d like to have a drink.” I think you 1! all agree that these “freshies” did better than the best. But we were only “freshies ” TWtNTr-FIVt. HISTORY. '14 The next year we felt so much more important for we were really Sophomores. That year was filled with many interesting experiences. The literary programs during that year were varied and interesting, and I’m sure they will always be a source of pleasant memories to the members of the class of ’14. Also the great spelling match between the F'reshman and Sophomore classes was an event which we looked forward to and took part in with great interest and excitement. More important still did we feel the next year, when we were Juniors, for then we had the privilege of organizing the class. We took advantage of this privilege, and Ralph Shurer was elected President, Blaine Matthews, Treasurer, and the writer Secretary. During that year we paid an interesting visit to the Car Shops. [I do not know how interesting it was to the shops, but it was interesting to us.] We were cheered and encouraged every week of that year by a certain publication called “The Junior Times,” edited by a member of our class Then our time, attention, [and money] were occupied at the end of the year by the preparations for the great Junior-Senior Reception, and I think that we were well repaid for all that we did in preparation for that event. Our Senior year has been an interesting one and one long to be remembered, if only for one thing, that the course of events
