Class History of J nuaaryp I905 K arc Iciwiiig iioii the sights and sounds of good old oollcgo days. And go to meet this cold new world oj uncertain blame or prais Before we go, let ' s look again at times that are no more, - 1 nd lift the veil that hides from us those happy days of vorc. As one who cons at evening, an album all alone, And muses on the faces of friends that he has knoivn, So I turn the leaves of fancy till, in shadowy design, I find the well known faces of those old classmates of mine. History repeats itself ,■ and a class history is no exception to the rule, but there are some, I am sure, who will agree with me that there never has been, and never will be, a class quite like the one of January, 1905.

It was during this year that Avice Allen impressed us with her vocal powers. In the music class she was always a little more ambitious than the rest of us, and at the most unexpected moments her voice would soar above ours. When we received our tickets in June, a few, a verv few, decided that old studies, like old friends, are best, so thev took the class over again. Then we studied chemistry, and Georgie Gravel v learned the result of passing H.,© through water. It was about this time, also, that we decided that not onlv the reputation of the school, but also the glory of the State, rested on our shoulders. Some- times the other girls forgot this, and it was necessary for us to remind them before they seemed properly impressed. It was a familiar sight to see Alice
