1 L Florence M. Jewett I gazed and I envied with painful good will. Florence, one of the original three, has walked two miles each day for twelve years in order to graduate with the class of 1910. Florence likes fun when she gets started, but oh, the starting. If you 'Vare ever startled by hearing Oh, you kid, resound through the halls you may be sure Florence is near at hand with a smile on her faceg but, if you only hear a hello, take warning and get out of the way. Florence's home has been opened several times to us, especially in warm sugar sea- son and fun we have had. As class secretary and treasurer we wish her a happy home and many precious ' 'jewellsf' Vice President '06 Lawrence A. Lyon How much elder art thou than thy looks ? Larry or Red, he comes at either call, is another ofthe beginners of our class of '10. For twelve long years we have heard his thundering feet patf?j from Miss Titus' room up to the last grade in the high school. Larry, who is the youngest of the class and naturally the baby, has always found everything easy because of that illuminatde forctop. Does Red like the girls? Well yes, but what's the use? they all think the same. However, we hope that Larry will take us one and in- separably with him in his automoplane on one of his journeys to prosperity. Pres. L. D. C.

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.

Y Ernest L. Cook Come trip lt as ye go on the light fantastic toe. Helen T. Philleo If music he the food of love, play on. Helen! who is it who responds to that name? Ah, a maiden fair with rosy cheeks and bounteous hair. She is above par in all her studies, namely: when above the principal. She believes that we can only live one life and therefore should enjoy our school days fwere you ever near or in the library?J. Helen is one of the originals for we have beheld her beam- ing countenance ever since she was mam- ma's baby. Helen has certainly shown us great hospitality throughout our school lite. She averages from six to seven feet longitude and from six to seven inches in latitude. May the sun and moon make her shadow short and tht. Oratorical Contest '09 Lookic, the wee Knabe of our class is by no means the least. Although he has been with us only two years his voice has been heard in every important crisis, echo- ing from the cellar to the garret. His C natural voice changes to B Hat occa- sionally, while expounding some great idea, which often does occur in that mighty brain. Cookie somehow obtained the Duct that other classes were our supe- rior and so left us for a time but he soon returned with a sure conviction that we had no equal. It is easy enough to point out Cookic's path, but it takes another Cook to make him tread therein. Sec. and Treas. Ath. Ass'n '07-'08 Pres.
