i Time to Think of Summer Footneeds A rising thermometer suggests low shoes. Senior Class History. ‘What—What! Alive-Alive!” This last line of the senior class yell, defines in a few words the class of ’05. Like the sophomores, they are small» but mighty, both mentally and physically. Three boys and five girls compose the class. There would have been four boys, but John Forman, a very promising youth, decided at the time of the senior-sophomore strike that Grand River Institute needed him, and so he left. We miss him very much as he was always ready to help out, whether it was in the Literary Society or in the class fights. The senior class is represented in all classes of work in the school. R.W. Evertt was president of the Literary Society the first term. Mabel Fuller is now’ treasurer of the society. In the athletic field, both Evertt and Sparr defend the class in foot ball and ba6e ball. “Red” is also a marble player of great skill. Linnie Hazlett is an orator of great promise and many are the de- bates which she has won. The class has done good work the past year. This year was the first in which the physics class has had a laboratory for experiment- ing. The class visited the C. P. A. power house and there learned many things about electricity. The last term algebra was taken and special work put upon it as it is a very important study for those who wTish to study for any scientific work. During the year socials w’ere given in order to raise money to de- fray the Commencement expenses. These wrere well attended and the class always had a surplus of money in the treasury. The trouble about the Hag pole cost them five e pluribus unum, but Pi of. von Beseler kindly gave it back on the condition that if the flag pole were ever repaired we w’ere to foot the bill. On March 15th, the class sent a delegation before the Board of Ed- ucation to ask them to allow’ a change in Commencement exercises, but the Board seemed inclined to follow the plans of their predecessors and so we w’ill have the same exercises as in previous years. After four years of hard and diligent study ’05 is ready to strike out into the world, to engage in the strenuous conflict for success. That every one in the class be successful is the wish of the Forum. Every woman hails with delight the return of the oxford season. shoes never before came to us in more attractive styles. Patents for Sun- days and tans for every day. The new lasts—the smart patterns — the wide ribbon ties—all deserve your thought- ful attention. Class Colors—Green and White. Class Yell-Are we, yes we are, w’e be. What-What! Alive Alive! 1005! Motto—Strive, though the rocks be rugged. President—R. W. Evertt. The most styles at popular Secretary and Treasurer—Mabel D. Fuller. At a class meeting held April Brd, the following received the honors for Commencement: Valedictorian—R. W. Evertt. Salutatorian—Mabel D. Fuller. Class History and Prophecy—H. A. Foley.

Miss Winifred Ryder, for the past years, principal of the Madi- son High School ha6 resigned her position and as a consequence will not be with us next year. Madi- son High School will lose one of the best teachers it ever boasted of. Miss Ryder taught all the classes in languages. She was liked by everyone that came in contact with her, and regret is heard on every side to think that she will no longer teach here. The Forum extends its deepest regret, and wishes her every suc- cess possible wherever she may go. High School Yells.

Well, it has been a long time, nearly six weeks, since I last ap- peared. I know you have missed me, but still I “make good” this time for my long vacation. There are many nice things con- tained inside my orange coat. Among them are talks from Supt. von Beseler and Miss Ryder, short stories, and all the things that go to make up a good paper. When you have finished reading me, don’t throw me into the waste basket and let some one burn me lip, but lay me away on the table or some other convenient place, and in times to come you can re- fer back to the days of 1904 and 1905 pleasantly spent in the Madi- son High School. Professor:—“The examination questions are now in the hands of the printer. Are there any ques- tions to be asked?” Chorus—“Who’s the printer?” Press me closer, closer still With what fervor you can master. All my nerves responsive thrill; Press me closer—mustard plaster. The School Boy of 1905. “Tommy, have you been vacin- ated?” “Yes, ma’am.” Have you had your vermiform appendix removed?” “Yes ma’am.” “Have you a certificate of inoc- ulation for the croup, chickenpox and measles?” “Yes ma’am” “Have you your own sanitary 6laterag and disinfected drinking cup?” “Yes ma’am.” “Do you wear a camphor bag around your throat, a collapsible life-belt, and insulated rubber heels for crossing the trolley line?” “All of these.” “And a life insurance against all the encroachments of old age?” “Yes, ma’am.” “Then you may hang your cap on the insulated peg and proceed to learn'along sanitary lines.” Helen :—The young man I love must be big, brave, handsome and intellectual.” Dick Evertt :—“How fortunate that we met.” PAIGE HOTEL, MADISON, LAKE CO., OHIO.

PARTING- BY MISS WINIFRED RYDER. “What we have we prize not to the worth Whiles we enjoy it; but being lacked and lost, Why, then we reck the value, then we find The virtue of possession would not show us While it was ours.” Friendly companionship is the choicest of our possessions, yet even this we know not how to “prize to the worth” while we yet have it. Parting alone can teach us the sad, sweet lessons, of what we have had and what we have lost. The place where friendship is sweetest and the sorrow of parting the keenest is often the school. In the large family of our fostering mother ties are formed which can never be really severed, and which in future years will bring mute tears of longing, yet a subtle sweet- ness of remembered joy. While we are still in school we are apt to wish that the hard work and restraint were ail over, but when the longed for last le66on comes our pleasant anticipation does not reach fulfillment, for we are sick at heart, missing the thrill of joy which we expected and finishing in its place only sadness and depression and “that kind of melancholy which has sobs in it involuntary and unexpressed.” As we look about the old school-house on our final day all of the familiar things grow dear, the dingy walls, the mared desks, and the dog-eared books,and the thought that our connection with these is over makes us first realize that we have a past. It is not wise to crush out such feelings as if we were but creators of the present moment, but to let the dear memories of the past travel with us into the future to modify our thoughts and keep alive our sympathies. By a divine law of compensation it is decreed that he who is most susceptible to pain is also most capable of comprehending joy, so the hearts that are heaviest at parting are the ones which will feel the greatest joy of memory and will appreciate the golden hours which will come even after school days are long over. A Romance in Four Parts. I went to call, one crisp spring night— Mama came to the door ; She told me that I must not come To see Her anymore. I'tried my luck one summer night, PtThough not without reflection— Papa, he stopped me on the way With a feeling of objection. I persevered one cool fall night To get a glimpse of Gracie— Her maiden aunt deprived me just A glance of that dear facie. I went again one winter night— O joy of expectation! I found her sitting there at home Without one fool relation. Did you stop to think that every time the sun sets it hatches an- other day? “Willie,” said the Sunday- School teacher to the small boy, whom «he was vainly endeavoring to quiet, “who made those hills over there?” “I don’t know ma'am,” was the reply; “we just moved here.” There comes a burst of thunder sound, The Seniors drop their books; The solemn Juniors turn around, With startled, frightened looks; The Sophomores turn pale with grief, For that rumbling sound declares That another luckless Freshie Is tumbling down the stairs. fM : Conductor! Conductor! Stop the car, I’ve dropped my wig out the window. Never mind, madam ; there’s a switch just this side of the next station. 1 WEST THE TAILOR FOR Clothes that fit The Man. Geneva, Ohio. f
