THE ORCHARD ON THE HOGSBACK. It is our good fortune that in spite of unfavorable weather, we are gifted with an unusual good crop of assorted apples. The Sheepnose, as the King of all, takes its place, as superior being he thinks it best to canfa few but we are relieved when the Spy, which received its growth at North Adams, welcomes us back with gay features. This one is true to her name, bobbing and peeping around, to see what is going on. Next in importance is the Maiden Blush with pink cheeks, which was cultivated in Albion's German and English orchards, but is now keeping pace with the science of the Seek-no-further, the greatest in altitude. No orchard would be complete without the Russett which amo, amas and amant. Now last but not least is the Pippin, which stands in a state of commandance before all and waves her upper branches as though tracing geometrical figures of all shapes and sizes, and the Har- vest whose swing of its arms is in time to the notes of the breeze and always sends out a voice of welcome then moaning.

5 IVRIII M. Godfrey James W. Avery A remarkably bright boy. Brother Avery, as he ought to be known, lills the presirlent's ehair to perfection. Jimmie is a favorite beeause of his straight forwarcl aetions ancl sayings. Ile joinecl us in 1905, when yet a little boy, ancl oh! so bashful, anfl he has not entirely out- grown it, although he is improving, eon- siclerable progress being macle last year. Lessons are a cinch for him, so he says, ancl we know that if they are not they are not going to trouble him anyway. jimmie is O. K. from start to finish. Sec. and Treas. S. C. A. '07 Sec. and Treas.

Bill or Taggs, whieh ever it may be, they both mean lvah. Bill loves athleties and what girl besicles Bill can twirl a hall like a boy? Everything is quiet until Taggs appears, then listen to the noise. If she opens her book anfl ean't get her lesson in one minute with her mouth eloseml, she opens it ancl gets it in half the time to the distress of those about her. Don't let Taggs fool you by her looks for she eau be guilty of funny happenings anml never show it. She thinks as much of her boy friencls as she cloes of her girl frienrls, thereby being a lavorite of all. She con- templates being an aetress ancl we know 'i :f 0 , X X that wherever she may go there will be light aml we hope that she n never ehange a mite. Vice Pres. '07-'08 Vice Pres.
