ijinrnlrfa Grttgahurg Ahhrnm About one year ago, our teachers brought forth in this school-house a new class, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that we can have as much fun as we please, providing the teacher doesn't see us. Now we are engaged in a great struggle for mastery over Caesar and his forces, testing whether this subject or any other subject so conceived and so dedi- cated can get the better of us. VVe have now come together to dedicate a portion of our knowledge of Latin and a part of the assembly to the Fresh- men, the class we were in last year, and who now profit by our mistakes. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do such a thing. But in larger cents, we can not concentrate, we can not give them any more credit than they really deserve. The brave people who worked and struggled here trying to teach us something, have concentrated far above our poor minds to add and subtract, Cespecially Mr. Tillettj. The school will little note nor long remember what is said here, but it will never forget we have done here, It is for us, the living, to be given to the unfinished task which they so nobly worked to teach us. XVe hereby resolve-That this school under Professor Hann shall have a new birth of freedom, and that student government shall soon be in style for the coming year. -Ralph Brechbiel. i

Uhr Snplinmnrr Spirit Upon a bright, clear morning. We heard the bell once more To call us to our class rooms, Where we had been before. From out the neighborhood pouring, Came sophomores by the score To greet a new year's battle, VVe had never fought before. What is our aim for this new year To win or lose the fight? No, all our mernbers, twenty-five, Now work with all their might. Work on, work on, my comrades dear The goal is just beyond And may that crown of victory, Be given to each one. At last my classmates, one and all, The victory is won And may the future battles, Be pleasant to each one.
