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.

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.

Ethel B. Burgess Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate. Ethel hails from Holt and for that rea- son it has been very hard for us to keep our hold on her. When she joined us in the freshman year, we never thought we could keep her with us four years, now that we have, we surely have earned our boxes of chocolates from the one to whom we have been so cruel by depriving him of this fair damsel. Ethel is always in for fun and we know just how to take her, for she is always the same. She con- vinced us that she is a royal entertainer after a six-mile slcighride to her home. May she live to feed the calves on bottles way down on the Eirm. .1 Vice Pres. S. C. A. '08 Sec.-Treas. Erosophian '07 Junior Public Nelson H. Huntley Hc is not married but very near it. Dutch is a thoroughbred country lad, joining us before we reached the high school to help us iight our battles. llis awkward motions are sure victory. Nel- son's voice always caps the climax, wheth- er on the athletic fields, in school or else- where. Once he tried to leave us, even after he won a bride, but the attraction was too great for him and he came plow- ing back again to school. We have tried to urge Dutch to join the lligh School Chorus or something whereby his voice would obtain training, so he wouldn't scare the neighbor's chickens when he laughs, but he absolutely refuses.
