VV. ARTHUR STORM. Po THE CLASS OF '92. r There is a thought that comes to thpse who pause Amid the quiet hours when work is done, To ponder o'er the reason and the cause ' . Of failure in the enterprise begun, , That if more energy had been among The many careless feelings that had led Them on this zeal and earnestness to shun, - Success and riches might have been instead,- For naught is gained by idle ways is truly said. But ah! the foresight having come too late, Now mocks them in its taunting. scofling way, As on their shattered hopes they meditate, And long for prospects of a brighter day. They see now plainly .wherefthe causes lay Of failure, since reflex has filled the mind, And know too well that careless doings may At last bring loss to them, and they will find That idlers in this busy world are left behind. v Perhaps they think all business but a fraud, And life a care and puzzle at the best, Since all their toil has reaped no just reward On which their idle fancies once did rest. As all their pluck and zeal have had the test, As all their hopes have left them like a dream, They feel themselves with desperate thought possessed, For now to them in 'truth the way doth seem A blank whereby their sad mistake they can redeem. And now these words from anxious friends they hear:-- 'fls this the way to recompense your loss Ur cast aside your foolish, groundless fear, That ills, you now with anguish and remorse, And keeps you from that wiser, better course? Oh! Onward! Upward! till the goal you gain. Ah! learn with patience here to bear your cross, And trust whatever trifle you may fain By help of zeal, for that you ne'er will wish in vain. lntroductory. None of our more important transactions escape record in some one of many forms-if not in great biographies and archives, yet, at least, in our own memories and the memories ofthose around us. Statisticians are disturbed, not only by want of data, but by want of accessible data, and scattered records are often worthless because their existence is not known to those in need of them, and it is not so much for the purpose of pre- senting originality as for a compilation, aggregation and preservation of illustrated matters of interest to members, graduates and friends of the Meriden High School, that the ANNUAL appears, asking kindly co-opera- tion, and dares to hope for a life prolonged beyond the time of its first appearance. While, as already stated, the ANNUAL does not boast of originality, yet it is only fair to state that all its illustrations, drawings and negatives have been made expressly for this occasion. Many difficulties have attended the publication of the initial number, and we trust that a kindly forbear- ance from too severe criticism will be extended, and those noticing errors in names, addresses, clubs, etc., are requested to ,make such corrections in a volume kept at the Young Men's Christian Association for that purpose. We gratefully acknowledge the kindly co-operation of the Faculty, Acting School Visitor, Mr. james P. Breese, Mr. Sherman F. Johnson and Mr. C. C. W. Peck. The assistance of the Meriden Gravure Co., who have done the entire engraving and printing of the book, and their wide experience in illus- trated school and college publications have made the Meriden High School ANNUAL a realized possibility. - The skill of Mr. Voorhees, the photographer, has given fine negatives, despite the restlessness of school students and the wind at this season. But notwithstanding our own efforts and the co-operation of friends, had not the many advertisers taken so liberal a stand for our ANNUAL it would never have brought even its simple introduction to your notice, and we will all, if we take any pleasure in the ANNUAL, do ourselves a favor and our advertisers justice by patronizing them, and let us occasionally men- tion to them that we have seen their cards in the Meriden High School ANNUAL. ' We all re-member' how Demostherres Once, after his first speech, which caused him shame, Stole sadly home in silence to appease His wounded spi-rits and his bitter pain. T hen forming new resolves to try again And overcome those faults which mar address, He persevered, until at last became An orator, and that is why Success His efforts crowned, and Fortune helped him to progress Those works of music, whose harmonious strains Delight the ear and ,bid the soul rejoice, Are but the echoes of untiring pains. And constancy repaid by Fame's sweet voice, Those works of art We hold so rare, so choice, Created perfect by a master's skill, Bespeak endeavor, also that the source Attainment has, its energy and will Which never fail one's ardent wishes to fulfill. From such as these a lesson we may take And learn the worth ot zeal and constancy, Rememb'ring a beginning will not make An ending worthy, without fervency. As life seemed full of play in infancy, So in our riper years we feel 'tis true, And know that one must have persistency To prosper in the things which he would do, For without this results are valueless and few. Then'0nward! Upward! let our motto be, Let all the breezes waft it's merits o'er Q The distant lands and far outstretching sea. .Let every tongue resound its praises, for s worthy of them. Forget it not, nor Let it fall into oblivion. But keep it living fresh and new the more, Until the coming of that golden dawn Wdose shining light shall give it everlasting morn. 'Ti Such noble words as these in time of need Woiild often save the erring from their doom, While they in turn would bless us for the deed That kept them from a life of grief and gloom. , In lives like these we ever find the room For admonitions and kind thoughts as well, And do not need gruff manners to assume, Because to them the right means we would tell - By which their free and careless ways they may expel So Onward! Upward! they begin to climb The ladder of success and fame once more, And learn that endless vigor pays each time, As did that spider in those days of yore. The spider which we always find a bore, And think a very dangerous, useless thing, Once taught a man, as none had done before, The profits which persistence e'er can bring, i And that you will recall, was Robert Bruce, the King. Likewise on history's pages we may read Of men, whose lives were for the greater part Enhanced,,because of longings to succeed In labors that would stir the bravest heart. And who can tell what might have been their lot lvffithout the zeal which filled their very soul, W'hich spurred them on tonoble deeds, and what Will live as victory does on honor's scroll, And never die, so long as on the years may roll. lVhen Caesar started out for British soil, Out o'er the waters darkened by the night, And knowing of the perils and the toil, Why kept he on till Britain came in sight? VVhat was it that sustained him in the iight For entrance to this crude and rugged land And saved him from his otherwise sadiplight? 'Twas zeal, that spirit for a victory, and The thought of honor which did rouse his sturdy band x . J . A , , , S 1 m ff, v . Q . aiu., , F Q4 apr. . 49-H, , . vii' 1 ' .

The brief stay at Turner Hall has been immortalized by the class poem of Thomas H. Warnock, and was immediately followed by more desirable quartersiin the Prattsville school house. This arrangement wis made pending the completion of quarters leased at the German- Aiiierican school building, to which the school moved on the first of Jan- uary,'1882. ' Mr. Henry S. Pratt, of Yale '63, assisted by Miss Katherine R. Kelsey, later with Wellesley college, was in charge of the school, and so contin- ued until his resignation in 1888, when he was succeeded by Prof. S. T. Frost. A The annual town meeting of October 5, 1883, made the first appro- priation for a site and building, of which the present well located grounds and magnificent school building, which have reached the cost of 215100,- 000, are the result. Only the first and second fioors of the building were finished at this time, but in 1889 the assembly room was seated, forming room No. 2, and the tower opposite it was transformed into one of the best of school rooms. The general assembly room, with its seating capacity of 700 or 800, to gether with its side rooms were also finished. The new rooms were formally dedicated February 7, 1890, by an able address by President Dwight of Yale University and other speakers. - A large laboratory has been completed in the basement and equipped with the.aid-of 51,000 voted by the town, and the generous gift of S500 by Mr. H. S. Wllcox. Among the other liberal donations to the school are 51,000 each to the library by Mr. I. C. Lewis and Mr. Waltexr Hubbard. ' The highest room in the building, which is at the top of the tower, has been made during the last year into a suitable observatory, awaiting, as Rev. I. T. Pettee aptly suggests, a fine telescope from some noble donor. The school is in possession of a fine set of physiological charts, the gift of Dr. H. A. Archer, on condition that physiological instruction should be -given in the school. Gifts of large value have been received from time to time trom Rev. J. H. Chapin, who has contributed to the school a most valuable collection of classified minerals, etc. . I Historical Sketch. 1. Our High School and the date of April 12, 1881, are strongly asso- ciated in the minds of Meriden people, as the first decisive action taken by a town meeting was at that time, but although that vote was the cause of immediate organization, yet it was likewise itself a result of earlier movements. ' The first suggestion of a school of a high grade in Meriden seems to have been made in October, 1860, and came from the board of school visitors, J. C. Howard, J. Q. Bradish, A. Camp and XV. B. Hall, a couple of years later another plea for a High School came from W. E. Benham and H. S. Jewett, but it was not until after repeated trials and struggles flittle suggested by the present prosperous condition of the schooll, including even the disbanding of a high grade school by vote immediately after its organization had been completed in October, 1866, that the efforts of the more earnest promoters-of educational interestsin Meriden culminated in final success. 'Among the names appearing in the records of preliminary efforts are Dr. G. H. Wilson, Rev. H. Farns- worth, Rev. John Parker, W. E. Benham, R. B. Perkins, Dr. Chas. H. ,S. Davis, Rev. J. T. Pettee, Rev. I. H. Chapin and Saxton B. Little. Permanent successes are generally insured by laborious efforts, and fre- quently preceded by temporary defeats, and strong elforts were con- tinued through the years '72, ,73, '74 and '75, especially by Dr. Davis' urgent pleas through the Annual Report, pressing the desirability and necessity of a high school. Rev. T. Pettee took up the argument again in his report of 1877. Cf course occasional articles appeared in the newspapers, and in time the public mind was roused until an almost unanimous vote was finally obtained to inaugurate and establish the school. ' The pupils of the public schools, however, had not been wholly withs out instruction in the higher branches, for in a number of the graded schools, Qparticularly iii the Prattsville district, under Mr. H.

Class History. I. BY MISS LURA I. BOOTH. ?- One might have noticed on the beautiful morning of the 16th of April, 1888, a large throng of girls and boys waiting anxiously for the opening of the doors of the High School through which they were to enter upon a new and untried existence. All the members of the higher classes were gazing down upon us as we ascended the stairs, with a look, half of pity and half of scorn, exclaiming among themselves that this was the class that had been so highly spoken of. We numbered 71 in all- 43 girls and 27 boys. That first day of school-- how vivid is its memory! We were given our seats, but in the confusion one of the girls was classed among the boys, and when her name was called. she being one of the timid kind failed to respond, but one of the teachers saw at once the mistake and relieved her. Many of us were strangers to each other and to the teachers, and one could see when a teacher asked some questions what a look of relief would come over the countenance when it was safely answered. The class was divided, some wishing to have a more thorough knowledge of English, while the others had a desire to know how Cwsar, Cicero and Virgil lived. Before our class had been here long it was suggested that it would be much more convenient if we could have a mirror for our dressing room. The pur- chase was at once made, and each girl was taxed a sum not so heavy but what she would be able to graduate, and time proved the wisdom of our im- portant step, as each of the other classes were soon provided. Another thing which our class wished to leave in remembrance was the planting of trees, Arbor Day. Each of the four classes planted a tree in the yard ofthe school, to be dedicated to some author or authoress. Ours was to Miss 'Louise Alcott, and the address was given in a masterly manner by one of the accomplished girls of the class, then we all went out and started the trees in life, each one throwing a ha.ndful of dirt upon its roots., But it failed to survive, the reason, perhaps because there were too many fingers in the pie. Every Friday afternoon we spent our time 'C speaking pieces, and We were all so eager to show our talent in that line that we were disappointed when our names were not called. The large number M. H. S. Annual. C. C. frmf, Mz'5s Alice A. f30zfQ'wz'7a, Mz'55 Jzzfzkz L. Hzzff. more room would be needed at once. The celebration of I,ongfellow's birthday might be called our first appearance in public, and on this, as on 'every other occasion since, we covered ourselves with glory, and by the presentation of the picture, we added another to the rare works of art that deck our walls. Many of us still keep the dainty pro- grammes that our teacher arranged for that entertainment, and they will always serve as pleasant reminders of the occasion, and of her to whom its success was due. - Hand in hand, or arm in arm we might say, with this pleas- ant memory comes another not so full' of joy, the time of terror' when small pox stalked through Meriden, when the High School for once refused to open its hospitable doors, and the edict went forth, show your tickets before entering. A general idea of the class may be gained from the fact that during our first and second years we occupied three dilierent rooms, and were in the tender care of four different teachers, a few of whom still survive. Our first two years of High School life were as calm and peaceful as could be expected when we take into consideration the fact that we were hardly a day without a Storm in our midst. But many trials passed, the day came when like the king of France in the old song, our class who had 'cmarched up the stairs, now Hmarched down again, and took our places bravely as First Middles. of promising elocutionists in the class now, is probably the resul of these pleasant occasions. As the warm month of june drew near we enjoyed the examinations almost as much as the speaking. This ended our first term of High School life, and also the stay of the principal and one of the lady teachers. This brought much sorrow to the older classes and to us also, although we had been with them but a short time. We separated for the long vacation, not knowing how many of our number would fall out during this intermission. September brought us back, but we were much grieved to find that one of our schoolmates, Margaret Logan, had passed from life, and gone unto that school where she no longer needs our poor protection, and Christ himself doth rule. Our new professor greeted us, and we started down to work with zeal, reading the play of Macbeth and Latin grammar, puzzling our heads over Algebraic problems and Physical Geography. In the latter book, one day, the teacher was explaining the freezing point of water, and in the ap- plying it to the face, and one of the innocent pupils said that he 'Chad never tried it. This was overlooked because we were only Juniors and because his general appearance did not show any lack of water. The study of Algebra was mere play, why! we finished that study ten weeks before the time and took the final examination with the Second Middles, much to their discomfort. Our Iunior year was ended. W'hat a burden was lifted off our minds when we were selected one by one to take our seats in the room above, where the desks had covers and there were blinds to the windows. It was all so much better, we then felt as if we were not the lowest. The only thing we regretted in leaving the Junior room was in not being able to take our teacher with us, During the first half we took Physiology and some English History, with its long list of kings, while others were entirely engaged in the adventurous career of Julius Caesar. The study of Physiology was a hard one. The board introduced a new book in the school for our benefit. The book itself was twice as large and twice as heavy as was necessary. Nevertheless we were none the worse for it, but succeeded in digesting it-somewhat. Amongpthe oper- ations that were performed in this study was the dissecting of a small do- mestic animal. This operation was not as instructive as it might have been if some of us had been the owners of stronger constitutions. But the girls stood it better than the boys, for one of the young men, after taking one look at the innocent kitten, fled for his life. After our second vacation we had but one session during September and October, on account of the finishing of the Upper Tower and the Assem- bly Hall, for it was stated that if the succeeding classes were like ours have created great interest among the scholars. Prominent among these is the German club, whose elaborate entertainments have become famous throughout the state, and whose members have nearly forgotten their mother tongue in their zeal to be truly German, while the senior French class will soon publish an invaluable text book, Aids to French Conversa- tion. Another notable club is the polo club, which has achieved im- mortal glory for itself by its broken heads and unbroken line of victories- The glorious record of the football team is too well known to make any comment necessary. Our class has been called original, and we felt it our duty to live up to it. In the first place we entered upon a leap-year, which was quite an innovation, As we went on and took up languages our translations were always our own, so much so that sometimes they were even startling. This was to be noticed in the French class where one scholar translated the French for, a wounded foot, as a blessed paw. We changed the style of class rings, and we were the iirst to have a class book, class songs and musical instruction. So that all in all we think that we have earned our title of original. Our average weight is one hundred and nineteen pounds, our height, five feet five inches, our age, eighteen years and four months. Our attendance has been remarkable, two of the class having gone through the four years without missing a day, and it is reported that one member was so anxious to be present that she came to school on W'ashington's Birthday. Our standing in scholarship has been good, our class meetings have been full of interest and our life in the High school has been pleasant. Although we have often sighed to be free and wished that we were through, now that the time has come, we almost wish that we could go back and spend another as happy four years as those past, but we feel that we leave a shining example to the classes who are to follow us, and we ask the new senior class to remember that in their keeping-,we leave the honor of the Meriden High School. Class History. II. BY F. B. STANDISH , fr' - - H - Entering upon our third year in school we took seats with the seniors,X in the lower tower, and were held in nearly as great reverence by the juniors as the seniors themselves. During this year two teachers having left us, two others took their places and two were added to the faculty, the study of German was introduced into the school, and in September the American Hag, which was presented to the school by Columbia Coun- cil, 0. U. A. M., .was raised over the building for the first time. Six left our ranks to enter upon the journey ot life, and we were reduced to our present number, thirty. The English division taking up the study of Rhetoric about this time, showed themselves so brilliant that they were called one of the most remarkable classes that had ever been in the school. Our Greek class, having lost one member, found no more trouble in getting recitation rooms large enough to hold them all, there being only two scholars left, and it was a noticeable fact thereafter that if one found the lesson too difficult, all the rest of the class agreed with him. Up to this time we had not Worked 'very hard, but now beginning to realize why we were here we studied more, and as we advanced in our course we gradually lost our verdancy and became more and more digniiied, un- til iinally when the seniors left us in April we felt that we were competent to fill their places. On becoming seniors we found that we were to have the lower tower all to ourselves, an event without a precedent. In celebra- tion of this event we were treated by one of the class to a cream, which started us off with enlivened spirits upon our fourth and last year in school. One of the first things which took place was the holding ofa class meeting to appoint officers and to choose the class colors, white and green, which were soon displayed in one of the windows of our schoolroom, thus giving ill-natured people opportunity to remark upon the extreme appropriateness of at least one of the colors. Then every one commenced to prepare for senior public, and so between class meet- ings and our studies we have been kept busy throughout the year. Our class has been the leading power that has started several clubs, which I 792. BY MISS MARY A. CAHILL, I The time has come when we must part, The day has dawned at last, When we must leave the old High School And class it with the past. We've watched and waited for this day When 0fGraduates we'll be, But when the time is near at hand We're lonely, as you see. Forward then, and upward all, To our motto We'll be trueg And after years have passed away -We'll think of '92, We'll ne'er forget how kind they've been, -Our teachers, old and newg And know that they will ne'er forget The class Of,92. An Ude. BY MISS MAUD LEE. When we tirst came to this High School, juniors we, without a thought, Now as cultured, learned Seniors Look We o'er the battle fought. We have struggled through our lessons with a will that none may knowg Often tired, weak and weary, We at last have much to show. History's gloriouspage we studied, Languages we learned by heart, Sciences received attention, L Mathematics too, in part. And the poets, too, we studied, And with joy we read them o'er, Byron, Milton, Scott and Shelly, Wordsworth, Burns and Keats and Moore Some will Work, and some will study, Some will marry, some be free, But our Lily of the Valley Shall in endless beauty be. I Senior Class Miscellany. l l No Candidate or graduation expected to win his coveted sheepskin without first confronting the questions of examination day, but none could have anticipated the searching questions of the publication com- mittee: What are your politics? Why did you attend the High School, and uafter graduationf-what? Some were found with their fu- ture plans matured and answers ready, others unconscious, apparently, that people have plans or reasons for anything. An illustration of well laid plans was shown when a lady, to the question of intentions after graduation, replied: HGet married, while'others in a blissful state of total ignorance gave that hardly original answer, don't know. Of these f'don't knows, politics claims three, future plans two, and reasons for attending the school two. ' Eleven of the ladies are Republicans, seven Prohibitionists, and four Democrats. Of the gentlemen, four are Republicans and one Prohibition- ist. The efficacy of the rule of the rod at home is about equally shown among the ladies and gentlemen, one of each having come to school because they couldn't help it, and' because mamma made me go, while still another because she was sent. One lady and one gen- tleman came to study, but whether they came to study together or not we are uninformed, while another lady came not only to study, but to keep on studying after graduation. What noble ambition stirred him who came because he wanted to. A natural born explorer came 'fto find out what was in the school, while another came to see style. One came for 'finstructionf' while another came to Hperfect herself in the higher arts, unless we misread her chirography for hearts, as she aspires to be married after graduation. One came to get her character de- veloped, and intends to do good after graduation. The strength of personal influence is -shown by the lady who Hcame because L-- did. 4'To learn something, of course, 'fto continue studies, to be edicatedf' to have some fun, to be smart, 'fto play football, to learn how to study, didn't know what else to do, Hto graduate, are among the an- swers. - In three instances the High school has been preparatory for still high- er institutions and colleges, and in one ffto work. Of four who expect to teach, two will teach school, one expects to teach the missionaries, and one to enlighten the paupersf' In delightful inactivity one will re- tire from school life 'fto rest, and another to stay at home. One lady does not tell us, and yet she says, O, that is telling. f'You will know before the year is out, are the suggestive words of one of the ladies, but another one can't tell so long before. One will 'Udo whatever is neces- sary, but think of the Stormy prospects. of him who will dig piano keys, and the lofty ambition other who aspires 'fto be leader of dot leetle German club. . n I ln- 'L --s qi' 'ISK iw w r K :M 1- 4,4 PM iw - ' 5-il, dl l -- 4 , I fi wgf ism-2-fww' - . --.

Maron 14, 1892. 60 years, 2. months. The senior class of the High School have passed these resolutions upon the death of Dr. Chapin: Whe1'eas, It hath pleased Divine Providence to take suddenly from our midst one whose thoughtlulness and untiring energy 1n our behalf have endeared him to us all, Resolved That we, the class of 792, M. H. S., by the death of the 3 Rev. Dr. H. Chapin, lost a sincere friend and judicious adviser, a man'of marked intelligence, of clear judgment, ol sterling integrity and worth of character. ' Resolved, That inasmuch as he was one of the founders of the M. H. S., his memory will be the more cherished, and in our coming graduation exercises, in which he was greatly interested, his absence will be greatly felt. Resolved, That this .brief memorial record be entered upon the minutes of the class, and also a copy be transmitted to the Iamily as a token of sincere sympathy. Courses of Study.

A word of history, even of an enterprise so re' Cent, may be of interest. The class groups and building were photographed under the direct light of the sky-3 and from gelatine plates, made from the photograph negatives, were printed by a process known as Artotype.. The foot ball and polo teams were made by the same process from skylight negatives 3 while the faculty portraits were artotyped from negatives taken from cabinet photographs. , The comic and general illustrations of the book were made by the Photo-Engraving Line process, from pen and ink drawings, mostly drawn by M. H. S. students. The portrait ofthe late Dr. Chapin was photo-engraved in like manner from a newspaper print. , The ball room scene, originally photographed by flash light from an actual evening ball, was engraved by the Half-Tone process from a print. These processes, which are of very general application for catalogue and other illus- trative work, are in the mosti successful operation by THE MERIDEN GRAVURE CO., Printers to the Class of '92, The Gravure Co.'s factory is at 55 Kensington Avenue.
