For four short years have we gone through the daily routine of M. H S., and now, as we look back, many a pleasant time is recalled, many have been the friendships formed both with teacher and scholar, all the petty trials and troubles are forgotten and we cannot suppress a sigh of regret at the thought of leaving. We think of the many chances we have had and how we have allowed them to pass and can only advise under no graduates to take full advantage of their High School days. For a moment-nay, more than a momentywe wish that we were going through it again but then comes the thought that we are now grown up and must go out and face the world, leaving room for others. And with this thought comes a new spirit of energy. Time cannot be recalled and we, having done our best, must pass on. And this book-it is of no value as a literary work, is merely an outline of the conditions existing in the school when we left it. But it is of value in that it chronicles the efforts and accomplishments of the Class of l905 and it is our hope that, in years to come, after the members of the class are scattered far and wide, it will serve to unite them in spirit, if not in body, to re-establish those friendships of long ago and to bring back recollections of those happy days spent at M, H. S. To such an end, this book is dedicated. The class desires to take this opportunity of acknow- ledging its indebtedess to the subscribers and advertisers whose support have made this publication possible and also to Mr. VValdemar C. Hirschfeld, '98, for his original drawings whichhhavefgreatly addedlto the! appearance of the book. . SALUTATORY RUTH E. ATKINS. RIENDS of Meriden High School, the Class of 1905 are assembled before you to-day for the last time as members of this school, For four years-long in the passing but short in the re- trospect-years happy in their recreations andjhappy in their toils, priceless, in-so-far as they have brought achievement, we have worked together to reach this goal. Now our paths in life must diverge. May we find as kind and ready helpers in our future life as those we have known during our school course. It is a great pleasure to welcome you, friends, who have come here to hear our exercises. We also welcome you, Superintendent and members of the Board of Education, who have always shown so deep an interest in our welfare. And we welcome you, our teachers, who have been ever ready with encouragement, and who have worked so diligently in our behalf. Nor must we neglect to welcome you undergraduates, who are to continue your course at the old High School. May your aims be high! To you all, friends who make up the audience before us, Superintendent and Board of Education, teachers and school- mates, our one word is that most pleasant of words-Vllelccme NI. H. S.

She is an important member of Alpha Alpha Sorority and has decided religious inclinations. l fosters do often prove fvwjllzctx. This surely is true in the case of ES'l'ELLE GERTRUDE BRowN who is our class jollier and one of our prophets. Stella also claims the honor of being class secretary, asso- ciate-editor of the AIXNNUAL, treasur- er of the Girls' Athletic Association, winner of a scholarship, member of K. Ill.

He was business manager of THE PENNANT for nearlya year, took part in the Good-Natured Man and The Pit, played football for two years, is a member of Alpha Delta Sigma and president of the Vier Club.

Her favorite study is Algebra and her favorite song Teasing. After graduation she intends to have a good time, but we think she always has that. I Be bold, Be bold, and everywhere bold. Another member of the famous Chemistry Outing Club is JOSEPH VVALTER SCIIEFFER. 'LSpeed was the man who originated thc plan for food supplies for the club. tHe played football for two years, played the part of A'-Iarvism in The Good- Natured Man and was Captain- manager of the Senior baseball team. He is certainly a wise boy in saying that his favorite book is the pocket- book, and incidentally, he takes care of it. Be W Hflungry as the sea and can digest as much. AMY MARIA FOSTER Cpopularly known by her middle namej was voted our nerviest girl, gasser, grub- ber and biggest eater.

In the hurly-burly of her High School days she has probably created more excitement than any other individual in the school. Amy manipulates the piano keys for us on Monday mornings and she also has a charming voice which we hear all too seldom. Another accom- plishment of hers is her ability to blush.

ILLINGWORTH T WOULD bel an easier task to write twenty histories of this most illustrious class than one. The greatest diffi- culty is to select what is most necessary to even an approxi- mately full account of the class history, and then to write of it in words which shall not make it too brief, causing it to sound like an outline. A single history on so large a subject will, of course, be fragmentary, and whatever method I should adopt to relate to you the history of each individual of our class I should undoubtedly omit much more than I should mention. As it seems the custom of a class historian to apologize for any omission of facts which he or she forgets or neglects, I likewise, do the same We entered the M. I-I. S, as one of the largest Freshman classes and feel proud to say that we are graduating the largest class in the history of the High School. We number thirty- seven girls and twelve boys, a small number of boys, to be sure, but then we make up in quality what we lack in quantity. Let me first introduce to you Amy Maria Foster, one of the most popular girls in the school. Amy is as merry as the day is long and has a very contagious smile, which you will probably notice several times during the evening, as Amy was never known to have her face in repose more than sixty seconds at a time You, perhaps, remember her as 'fMrs. Croaker in The Good-Natured Man, presented by the class in February, and if so, you must have indeed recognized her great ability as an actress. She was voted biggest eater, grubber, and the nerviest. We did not dare to make her class fusseress for she has emphatically impressed upon one of her friends, who in his turn, impressed it on many others that-she is not that kind of a girl! M. H. S. ANNUAL 71 The best scholar among our boys is Robert Brown, he was also voted the most industrious and the class grind. Robert holds the office of Class Prophet. I come now to Elizabeth M. Luby, she is quite pretty, don't you think so? Bessie is one of our unassuming, dignified, quiet girls, Qon some occasions, I meanj. Most everyone is more or less interested in children, so I will present now our class infant, Grace Gertrude Cashen. You know, HA babe in a house is a well-spring of pleasure, and thus Grace has proved herself. She is a member of one of the notorious French classes. Grace says that her future intentions are private, let us hope they are nothing very alarming. Miss Myrtle Denison is that little girl, who stands so erect with her head held high, as if to say, 'AI may be small but I know a thing or two. Mrytle was voted the most taciturn in the class. john Hurley, jr., our best actor, is also a great linguist, being versed in Greek, Latin, German, and especially in the conjugation of the French verb 'faimerfl He delights in saying afime, QArnyj I love, jai aime, I have loved, and only wishes he might say with certainty, je sms aime, I am loved. john was manager of the 1904 football team. He has splen- did oratorical ability and the class recognizing and appre- ciating this has made him Class Orator. Helen Rice has won many friends during the last four years by her sweet character and lovable disposition. Helen is a notorious whisperer and has had a front seat assigned her many times during this last year, but she has in some way, found time between whispers to write an essay of such credit as to have won a Hick's Prize. During our Sophomore year Lucy Mecorney joined the class, She is a splendid French, Greek, and Latin scholar, being also well informed in the study of animal life and insects, spending a great deal of her time studying the ways and peculiarities of that soft and gentle insect calledammillerfl She seems especially interested in that' species which Hies around Thompson's. f 72 M. H. S. ANNUAL When I come to the name of Ruby Blakeslee, I feel like quoting a line of Edward Phillips', 'fVVould I were secretary to your thoughts. Ruby is such a reserved young lady, it is very difficult to understand her. She came to us from North Haven, having traveled miles and miles, in order to drink from this fountain of learning. Ruby is the most modest girl in the class. Jesse Carlton Williams was voted the handsomest, most taciturn, most modest, and best athlete. He is indeed an enthusiastic athlete and has won the admiration of many by his fine football playing. I-Ie was very fittingly voted most modest, and if you could have seen him with his hand Csoj shielding his face from the admiring glances of the girls around him, I am quite sure you would agree with us. We think Jesse is a woman hater, for it seems to be his greatest delight to get 'fFar from the maddening girls. There now, Jesse, I won't embarrass you any longer, It seems most appropriate to mention together Miss julia Bouvie and Mary Conklin, for they have been almost inseparable during their school course at the M. H. S. julia is one of those sedate, demure, and affectionate maidens who like a great deal of attention, this being shown by her favorite song, Make a Fuss Over Me. Mary is always ready for a good time, her motto seems to be: H0h, be up and ready, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to whisper and come in late. Elsie Stillman, that divinely tall maiden, comes to us from over the hills and far away. Elsie was voted the grouchiest girl in the class. She has studied hard throughout her entire course at High School in order to prepare herself for Normal, where she intends going in the fall. Elsie is a member of the Kappa Mu. One of our pretty, popular girls is Ethel Corrine Immich. She is one of the best scholars,of which we can boast, having gained this reputation without much studying. Ethel says her favorite study is history and that the reign of George the First is her greatest delight She is well aware that M. H. 5. ANNUAL 73 there are three kinds of hands, left hand, right hand, and a little behind hand. Many mornings she has rushed madly up the steps of the school, reaching the door just as Mr. Kane turned the key in the lock, this means to most belaters, 'too late' zeros! But in some mysterious, incomprehensible way Ethel always managed to get to her recitations in time. So if any of you under classmen, who are troubled in this way, wish to hnd an 'Open Sesame' it would be to your ad- vantage to inquire of Ethel. One of her brothers once in- formed me that she was, Always behind like an old cow's tailf' Florence Stevens is quite a wit and often surprises her friends by her bright sayings. Florence is perhaps the most conscientious of our girls She says her favorite song is, 'Tm but a stranger here, Heaven is my home. Would we were all so sure of our destiny. Let me present our most industrious girl, Ruth Atkins. Ruth has done credit to her class, she has not only composed an essay so admirably as to have won a Hick's prize, but she has also stood so well in her class during the last four years as to have gained the honor of being salutatorian. Her favorite book is 'fThe Life of Admirfablejal Nelson. Karl Conrad Stadtmiller, prominent member of the Alpha Delta Sigma, treasurer of our class for the last two years, asso- ciate editor of THE PENNANT during his junior year, editor-in- chief of the same paper this last year, editor-in-chief of the ANNUAL, for two years member of the football team, one of the few selected to take part in the Freshman Public, and three years later in the Senior Public, in which he starred as Leontine,'l was voted nerviest, grouchiest, biggest kicker, class infant, and pessimist. He is a great pedestrian, taking long walks in order to visit some of Connecticut's beautiful towns, he seems, for reasons unknown to many, to be especially fond of Stamford. His next destination is 'fSheff.'l Mabelle Shaw is said to be very inquisitive. She doesn't look so, does she? Mabelle is very fond of the study of Botany, spending hours in the delightful analysis of lVIorse,'l singing at the same time, in her sweet, pathetic way, HOh, come, come to the church in the wild-wood H 74 M. H. S. ANNUAL Our leading star-gazer is Lida O'Neil. Now, whether her love for astronomy is caused by her great interest in those shining, winking objects called stars, which are seen in the infinite meadows of heaven, or if it be because, moonlight hours in her opinion, ls the time for love,', we do not know, but are inclined to think it caused by the latter. Behold, our class genius, Miss Maude Lines Hamilton, she seems rather small to bear a title of such significance, but then, it is said that great things come done up in small packages. Maude was one of the editors of TPIE PENNANT during the last year. She was voted the most versatile, and I could not enumerate the many ways in which her versitality is shown, but you will be able to realize for yourselves her great poetical ability later in the evening, for Maude is our Class Poetess. Florence Quinlan is the young lady, who looked so be- witching the night of our Senior Play in the role of HMiss Richland. Florence that evening aroused the admiration of the audience and the envy of her classmates! She is soon to take up her abode in New Haven, but we sincerely hope that she will not forget her schoolmates of M. H. S. Having mentioned Miss Quinlan it seems most fitting to speak of her chum, Jessie Jopson. Although 1Jessie has a crown of red hair, she never flies into a passion, so we were at one time most indignantly informed. She is a member of Kappa Mu. lt was said by Steele that one always looks up to the leader of his class with great reverence and wonderg if this be so, Jeanette Eggleston has that honor, Jeanette was voted class grind, but we cannot be sure that this is true, as the census is often wrong, but if it be correct, she has been well rewarded for her labor having been given fthe honor of being valedictorian, Her ambitions are strenuous, yet delightful. After spending the coming summer at Paris studying French, she intends to continue her search for knowledge at Mt. Holyoke. Jeanette was also the recipient of a Hick's prize. J M. H. S. ANNUAL 75 You have all without doubt heard of Junius Dudley Norton, our great histrionic genius. Has he not starred as Lofty in A'The Good-Natured Manf' appeared as Mr. Vllaring in the farce given at our last never-to-be-forgotten class social, and did you not see and Izcar him in the great Pit scene in the play of that name, when he thought he had indeed made a hit which not only had won the admiration of the star, VVilton Lackaye, but which would gain for him the salary of Hfteen dollars a week if he would only join the company! But June, much to his discomiiture, soon found this to be naught but a hazy dream. june has received many class honors, now don't look conscious June, he is the most admired, best dressed, gasser, noisiest, grubber, most conceited, and class fusser. l never could enumerate all of June's girls, they range anywhere from five years to thirty. lf anyone Wishes to become acquainted With this genius I would direct him to the lCurtis Home' as June is a frequenter there. To this prodigy the history of the remaining members of our class has been intrusted. 'a 76 M. H. S. ANNUAL CLASS HISTORY y PART TWO JUNIUS D. NORTON O LESS celebrated a man than Pliny tells us that Hhis- tory, however written, is always a pleasure to us. Pliny'S words are rather broad, to say the least,and may they be broad enough to cover this history. Hello! Central, give me No. Sl-G Liberty Street. Hello, is that you? Well, this is Ken. Going to be home to-night? All alone? Time! Well, all right, l'll be up. 'So, ladies and gentlemen, behold Pink Chase, our most popular man. See the smiling Visage! , Pink believes in the old adage, 'ALaugh and be fat. Our noble President has several other cognomens besides t'Pink, among them being, Stingo, A'Buckskin, Bricktop and 'AMoony.'l Very appropriate, dontt you think? ,Pink is a man of great accomplishments, among them being managing, studying and fussing. ln the last he is particularly well- educated. Of the other two it is hard to decide whether his German or his managing is most to his credit. Helhas a star German sentence, spoken only by himself, which is very fine. 'iWir essen, Mildyf' That is not from the school of New Britain German, either. Pink has managed everything from the l904-5 basket ball game to some young ladiesof school. He is very rabid on the subject of Liberty street, and it is said that very often has he lingered long and given disserta- tion after dissertation for its sweet benefit. Pink is quite a hand at illustrating, though remarkable to say not by paint- ing. Chase is our laziest man, wittiest, jollier. He is presi- dent of the class, manager of the l905 ANNUAL, eng-manager of all the glee club concerts and entertainments of like nature during the past two years, ex-captain of the 1904! foot ball team, one of its star players, a member of several committees, etc., and one of the most prominent members ,of Theta Sigma. He was one ofthe stars of the Good-Natured Man. M. H. S. ANNUAL 77 After our most popular man, naturally comes our most popular girl, Helen Hyatt. Helen by the way lives on Liberty street. She is very much devoted to outdoor sports. She can handle the Bow with dexterous skill, and is very clever in the Chase, but for some time she has been off her Guard QGardj. Helen is not only the most popular but also our most admired girl. She had not a few votes for the honor of being the fairest of our girls. She says her future intentions are quite undecided, but we think she has hopes. She is vice president of our class, and once she presided at a very wild and turbulent meeting of the class, and under her influ- ence the nerve-racking scenes were stilled as the dew dis- appears with the rising of the August sun. Helen is quite high in Alpha Alphadom. Daisy Ackart, arise! One of our star basket ball players. Daisyvwas manager of the 1904-5 basket-ball team. She has lots of nerve, being the only girl in the class who had the pluck to take up Trig, and 'fSolid. Daisy is very partial to playing basket ball in New Haven, though for why, we are at a loss to comprehend. Though Daisy had the privilege of having an assistant manager for the team, to cart the ball, etc., it is said that she, herself, preferred to be the Carter. Lillian May Guest is one of our girls who took part in the 'fGood-Natured Mann in which she made a hit as the land- lady. She is one of our bright girls in English, which from her recitations one would think was her strong point. Lillian for some reason or other has a very decided antipathy QU toward the opposite sex. In spite of this, her favorite book is said to be l'Little Men. joseph Walter Scheffer wears the obviously inappropriate title of Speed, Was no doubt the star of our great scenic production, f'The Good-Natured Manfl As the old, slow- moving butler, he had a part which fitted his personality as Pork does Beans. Speed got up a very famous CFD football team in his balmier days, but either Speed's money or his speed left him after a short life. He was Captain of our justly famous or astra defeat dealing aggregation of ball tossers. He played third base, a star game, too, even if he didn't make any hits, by gee, he made some errors. Speed played left guard in 1904 football team. 73 M. H. S. ANNUAL Meekneess is not weakness. Proverb. Viola Bennett ought to be thankful that such a proverb exists for she was voted by a vast majority the meekest member of the class. She really is awfully meek. One can see how horribly meek she is, for though a girl of marvelous intellect, she never speaks in class unless called upon, and sometimes not then. Viola comes from that gorgeous production of overworked manhood, South Meriden. i Ach, Louis, stehen sie auf! Here is the one German scholar of the class, Louis Steitz. See how quickly he com- prehends it. How many could have done it? Louis is a fine baseball player and caught on the 1905 base ball team, and what is more important, he played on the Seniolr team, and pitched without an error. How is that for a record? Eigh- teen full innings in the class game without an error! It has been whispered that Louis is in love, but would you believe it of him? Right on the heels of his horrible rumor comes another that he is very fond of sleigh and striaw rides to Middletown. Theodora Burke is one of those girls who are so very demure in school, tending to her studies and causing no trouble HShe has a very decided liking for going to Hartford, but the why Cthough in a way obviousl was never found out until one of her friends Cgirlj caught on, when she was so crazy over Babes in Toyland and especially 'tTom Tom. Nelly Shailer is another one of our meek girls. She also has a decided antipathy towards the boys. ln her case the reason has never come out. Now don't think that there is a discrepancy there, cause there isn't, for Nellyi is meek in class and very far from in with boys. Nelly is a real star in Lit., but she is rather mean in letting out her knowledge, for she never speaks so that more than three, always including the teacher, can hear her. Grace Dickerman is one of our prodigiesf She hails from within the prodigious precints of North Haven. Grace is very meek and quiet, and it is said that this is because she is at a loss what to do when she gets away from the bustle and tumult of her native hamlet into the serene school life. Grace is not much addicted to the habitual giggle of most girls. She has not even laughed in Senior German. M. H. S. ANNUAL 79 Katherine Burke, better known as Kitty or Katy is our class beauty. She is quite a star, though not voted class jollier, she is a terror in her jollying. She is not such a bad fusseress so 'tis said. Kittie has always aimezl rather high and it has been whispered that Kitty is quite partial to Kings. Kitty has an immense capacity for work when someone else does it for her. She was voted our laziest girl. Floyd Skidgell, alias Pop, was the star first baseman of the Senior baseball nine. He had a line record in the Senior- Junior game, having only one strike-out and four errors. He is a member of the famous Senior chemistry class, and it is said he is very proiicient in soaping freshmen's heads. t'lVlouse is also chief electrician of VVilcoX Avenue Cthere are never others on the streetj, and he is quite a star. He has wired cellars of More Houses than any one in the class. Pop is our meekest boy. Isabel Smith isyone of our quiet girls, so quiet in fact that you would never suspect that she was connected with the i7llOl'lI1i7Ig Rccord. Belle, as she is generally known, is very popular among the girls, and was voted the best-natured girl. Perhaps it is because she usually has some grub at inter- mission. Belle is rather reserved and has a liking for the country, and for those reasons she is said to be very favorable to Squire Qsj. She is a member of the Alpha Alpha. Florence Fannon, who though not actually voted our laziest girl, had not a few Votes for the honor, is always one of our late arrivals at school in the morning. She was never known to get up to school eariler than 8.28 a. m., except on one occasion when she had thought it necessary to see the 7.25 pull out for New Haven. May Clements is a quiet girl, hailing from the land in the direction of the setting sun. May is quite meek. In spite of this, she is quite a star in astronomy. Meek people are sometimes most proficient in studying the elements, condi- tions, etc., concerning the stars and the contents of the upper air, you know. Edward Bock, better known as Eddy, or still better to some, as Edna, is our class gossip. If you want to know anything, ask Eddie. Eddy's time is taken up in gossiping S0 M. H. S. ANNUAL and fussing, and he is very efficient at both. He belongs to the Chemistry class, and has often been entertained with the others by scientinc investigations. He is quite a star in Math. and will go to Drexel lnstitute to get more of them. Eddy was elected most inquisitive boy by an overwhelming majority. Frances Shay is one of those girls who come to school determined to learn her lessons, behave herself, and altogether lead an exemplary life, and as far as we have been able to find out, she has kept to her resolution better than most who resolve. Frances' strong point is keeping quiet and her favorite song, f'Peace, Peace, Oh for some Peace. Mae Stanley, throw that basket! May is a star in basket ball. She was twice Captain, but though she may be a star in basket ball, Qby the way, she is also a star, in elocutionj in calling down the horrid boys who distrub Senior Class meeting she was transcendent. Mae was the silvery OD tongued floor leader of the girls. Once when the boys were particularly bad she wished to have them bounced from the meeting. Strange to say, none of the girls volunteered to do it. i Mae is our wittiest girl. Estelle Gertrude Brown, known as Stella and HGus, is one of our high-stand girls. f'Gus is a very Ray of know- ledge, which comes in the door at 8.29 and fifty-three seconds past eight. She is very systematic Qafter one P. My as she goes home, gets fed, studies and then goes for a walk to brace her for supper, generally down Colony Street. She comes back wonderfully refreshed. She is quitea Wunderkind, and she was so much of a one in our Historic Senior German Class that she left. Stella has a book of which she is very fond, Horatio Alger's last post mortem book, 'lBob the Mail Clerk. Stella won a scholarship, was class jollier, gossip and noisiest girl. Stella is a prominent member of the Kappa Mu Sigma. Flora P. Stillman is quite reserved, in fact, very much reserved. lt can perhaps be ascribed to the fact that she has been brought up in the stirring society of Yalesville. Flora likes solitude very much, yes, so much that in walking home with a friend, she dropped him at the house of another. Flora came to school to learn and she has succeeded unless all signs fail. She belongs to K. M. S. Her next stopping place is Normal. M. H. S. ANNUAL 81 Giles B. Keeney, alias Flannigan, about face! Right dress! Front! Giles was born in a fort and since then he has had a decided liking for the army. He was voted our most jollied boy and class giggler. He has always had a liking for femininity, but somehow or other Cthough he fain would be a soldierj he could never seem to muster up his nerve to become real familiar with them. It is said that Giles has always felt a rather distant faraway liking for some Seniors. CRegular Sir Roger De Coverlyj. Giles has been quite famous parlez-vousing in French and lecturing, in Lit. and Chemistry. Ah me, how well I remember it! His famous Lit. anecdote entitled the HRaft and the Englishman, or Keeney at the Ford. Giles once delivered a great lecture in Chemistry on Life-Artificialfnot theatrical trust terrifier. Amy Hirschfeld, won't you ever stop that giggling? Now, do you wonder that she is class giggler. Amy has acute attacks of giglitis every day, from morning until eve. She is such a horrible giggler that sometimes she stops the German recitations. She is very fond of the library, for there she can sit and hear the telephone answered. Amy is very much interested in flowers, and claims that the Jack Rose is her favorite. She is also quite patriotic, for her favorite is VVhen johnny Comes Marching Home. Amy is quite a musician, being able to flnger the piano, and to blow her vocal cords to a degree of perfection. She has been quite a success as pianist in Chapel, also as soloist in the Redemption. Rena Mecorney is our class fusseress. VVhy she got this honor, Rena can't see, for she avers that she isn't. Rena joined us in our Sophomore year, coming from Bridgeport. Many think the reason she was voted fusseress may be attri- buted from her coming from Bridgeport, where the girls are terrors, it is said. She has always enjoyed Virgil very much as anyone might see who has heard her break the deathlike stillness of the room with asacriligious giggle. Rena is quite fond of chocolates, especially of some makes Qwe'll mention no namesj. Rena is another of the feminine army who make an expedition against Normal in the Fall. Wilbur Fisk Davis, Jr., has been very industrious during his stay at M. H. S. In his early days, he was rather retiring Cthen he was even frightened at Edithfs Burglar! but since 32 M. H. S. AIflflbIiLJVAl.. he has blossomed out and is now far from it. He was in The Good-Natured Man and was very fine. During rehearsals Bill obtained quite a reputation for tossing pennies. As yet he has not been grievously afliicted with girlitis, Wilbur says his neighbors are good enough for him. He is one of the ring of constellations in Senior German. Bill's favorite game is golf, though, he has played others, having caught on the Senior baseball team, and lost two teeth in football. He is a member of Theta Sigma. Leila M. Illingworth, who handled Part I of the History, is our best-dressed girl. Leila has been startling the school by her gorgeous creations ever since the Freshman year. She was also our most-conceited girl. Leil'l has quite a liking for Stadt Millers, and though some prefer the good, old-fashioned country Millers, Leill' says that those of the Stadt are good enough for her. She is very fond of Christmas time, that time of good cheer, for that always brings around Holly. Leila is very fond of music and in truth she has a fine voice. On this account, she is quite a judge of music. From her statements one would think that Chick, Chick, Chick, QWon't you Marry me, Chickjl' is the best of all4is perfection itself. So ends the tale of the school days of the class of 1905. qx!?N V ,Oz 83 Milf'-Eg ANN UA'- CLASS PROPI-IECY PART ONE ESTELLE G. BROWN IN the year 1915, a great desire took possession of me to travel about the country, simply with the intention of Ending out what had become of some of my old classmates. One of the irst persons whom I met was Miss Maude Hamilton busily shopping in the neighboring city of New Haven. I found her as Frank as ever, for when I addressed her as Miss, she quickly corrected me and said HMrs. Q-, if you please. Well, I was not greatly surprised for I always knew Maude would marry young. When I asked her if she ever heard from her old chum Helen E. Hyatt, she said that Helen had become a great Church worker and there was a good chance of her being this for life. I was indeed glad to hear that Helen had given up the strenuous pace which she led while in school. Maude also added that there was one pastime which Helen had not given up, and that was hunting, for she was still fond of the Chase I meant to ask Maude about a few more old friends but as she seemed in a great hurry to get home, I did not detain her. A few minutes later while hurrying past the college buildings I was startled by hearing some one shout f'Wie geht es, Maeggerlif' I quickly turned around and saw, bustling along with great difficulty, a short and exceedingly stout gentleman. Surely there was something familiar about that Hgure. Nor was I mistaken for indeed it was Kenneth E. Chase, looking the pink of perfection and still wearing the smile that won't come off. I was astonished to hear him speaking German but much more so when he told me that he was a professor of that language in Yale College. Truly wonders will never cease! For who indeed, after hearing Kenneth recite back in our Old German division, would have 34 M. H. S. ANNUAL thought that he would make a life's study of this language? As our paths lay in the same direction we walkeid on together and from him I learned some very interesting iacts about a few of our old friends-Junius D. Norton was how living in England. His sporty clothes and brilliant cbnversational powers had won him many admirers. He had been sued three time for breach of promise and was still conceited enough to say that he hadn't seen the girl yeti whose heart he couldn't break. Jeanette L. Eggleston wasla teacher in the most fashionable school of France. All her leisure time was spent in writing a new French Grammar. l Irene Mecorney was married and assisted her husband in running the largest and best confectionery store in Meriden. Kenneth also told me that the Yale football team had just secured Jesse C. Williams as head coach. His services were invaluable to the players,not only in coaching,but also in teaching them the use of choice and fiery epithets. Iesse'S vocabula y was evidently unchanged. A flaring bill-board in front of Polis' Theatre next attract- ed my attention for it announced that John A, Hurley would be seen all next week in a sketch entitled HIn Society. So our 4'amyC?jable John was ai vaudeville star. VVell, this was not so surprising after all, for you know he always made a hit in amateur theatricals even in his younger days. A few weeks later while in a New York restaurant I noticed a light haired couple seated a few tables away. What first attracted my notice was the enormous appetite of the young woman. It seemed as if she would never stop eating. Surely such a capacity could belong to no other than Amy Maria Foster. Maria and her tall and lanky husband brought to my mind the old nursery rhyme: 'A jack Spratt could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean, etc. VVhile in the Metropolis I learned that our class beauty Kittie V. Burke, had married a billionare and was now living in one of the swellest mansions on Fifth Avenue. I was glad that our laziest girl could now live a life of indolence and luxury. One day while sauntering along Broadway I heard a well known giggle and then a little squeal. That giggle M. H. S. ANNUAL 85 I could not mistake. To be sure it was Amy Hirschfeld. She was now a prima donna of great reputation and promised to out rival Mme. Adelina Patti. Even though a grand opera star, Amy would sometimes break out with a few strains of When johnny Comes Marching Home. She had as her guest that week her cousin Qby marriagej who was formerly known as Miss Ethel C. lmmich. Since leaving High School, Ethel had written a world famous history entitled, HThe Reign of George I. Belle Smith and Helen Rice had opened a kindergarten in their native town and every morning, weather permitting, one might see them frolicking at Brookside Park with their pupils. While spending a few days at one of our well known summer resorts, I noticed a young lady who spent most of her time in a row boat. Morning and afternoon one could see her skimming over the water. Later I learned that it was Bessie Luby. She still thought Rowen Crowingj delightful. Un the train coming home, I had the good fortune to run into another old classmate. It was Miss Mabel Shaw. Mabel was now an interviewer for the New Yaris joumal. She always had a knack of finding out everybody's business so she found her task an easy one. I thought Mabel would be apt to know the whereabouts of some other classmates and when I questioned her, she gladly furnished the follow- ing information: Florence Stevens had started a new humorous periodica1 which was outselling Life and HPuck. Lida O'Neil had sailed for the tropical regions soon after her graduation and had never returned. Her love for Bananfdjas had led her there. Wilbur Davis was now established in the breakfast food business in Battle Creek, Mich. Verily, a chip of the old block. He had put on the market a new food, HKill-em-quick whose popularity spread like wild fire over the country. Miss Julia Bouvie and Miss Mary Conklin had been pre- vailed upon to invest their money in this new industry. It evidently proved a good investment for they were now touring the world in their advertising auto. S6 M. H. S. ANNUAL Jessie M. Iopson was on the road with a leading comic opera. She was the star dancer of the company and also its highest salaried member. By the way, this company was managed by Lawson, the man from Boston. Ruby Blakeslee had changed her residence from North Haven to Meriden. There was no need for me to inquire why-for of course nothing else but matrimony could induce Ruby to live in Meriden. Quinnipiac owed a great deal to Elsie Stillman for the knowledge which she imparted to its youth while a teacher there. But alas! it was not for long-for, as is her wont, she got a grouch on and left in a huff. And the last, but by no means the least, member of our class whom I learned of, was Robert Brown. After his graduation he won a scholarship in Oxford College, England. At the completion of his course he accepted a position as professor of chemistry in that college. l sincerely hoped that, if ever he took the students to visit a gas house, none of them would act the way he used to when he studied chemis- try in M.

I had been away from Connecticut for about ten years and asked him to write me all about our classmates in the Meriden High School. MERIDEN, CONN ,April 9, 1916. MY DEAR FRIEND :- Your letter came several weeks ago but I waited to hear from more of our classmates before answering. I have now heard from about half the class. They are all doing credit to themselves and the school. Of course you've heard how Edward Bock went to japan to learn the art of Iiu Jitsu and, returning, taught it to the Americans to such good advantage that it has replaced foot- ball in many of the High Schools. Flora Stillman graduated from a medical college but had only practiced a few months when called upon to treat a young man. Under her care his case soon developed into heart trouble The only cure for this necessitated the giving up of her profession for the duties of a housewife. Stella Brown can now sleep as late in the morning as she pleases, having made a fortune by the invention of a machine which turns one Knot Stellal out of bed in the morning and thus prevents over sleeping. The fondest desire of Giles Keeney was realized when he became a soldier. I-Ie soon rose to the rank of Colonel. In one heroic battle Giles lost both arms and a leg and was for a time known as The Remnant. This title wore off for Keeney set to work and discovered a way to grow new limbs 33 M. H. S.

Viola Bennett is now Lady Something or other, having married a French nobleman with a name of fourteen syllables. She lives in Paris but visits her old home once a year. For sometime I could not locate either Lucy Mecorney or Lillian Guest. Finally I heard that Lucy was a teacher of Greek in a western college, and that Miss Guest was head nurse in a hospital in London. In this hospital no men are allowed unless they are old and white-headed. You'll be surprised to learn that Floyd Skidgell went on an Arctic expedition to the North Pole. On the way back, he fell in love with a beautiful Eskimo girl. After a trip to Meriden on their honeymoon, they went back north to live. Pop,' says he likes the life very much for in summer, all they do is to fish and eat and in winter, it is too cold to fish. Did you ever think Ruth Atkins would become a poli- tician? She is now president of the Womans Rights Asso- ciation. Ruth says men are of no use any way but if she has any work to be done I notice she is ready to Hire 'em. For several years there has been a magazine published in Meriden, Karl Satdtmiller is editor and sole owner. One chief feature of this magazine is the appearance of poems in each month's edition. These poems are written anonymously but I've heard they are written by Leila Illingworth who claims the reason for withholding her name is because she intends to change it so soon. What the change is to be, she will not say, but I suspect the editor knows something about it. A short time ago I met an automobile built in the shape of a huge shoe. A lady was steering it and back of her were several children, of assorted sizes. I was surprised and delighted to recognize the lady as my former friend and schoolmate, Myrtle Denison. After leaving the High School, Nellie Shailer went to the Normal School intending to teach school but met a young man who thought she would do better as a housekeeper and offered her a permanent position, M.

Miss Grace Dickerman still lives in North Haven. She tutors Yale students. May Clements and Grace Cashen went into the barber business together. They have had to hire several other young ladies to help them, as the popularity of their shop draws crowds of men. One can see a long line of men and boys at all times waiting their turn. The firm of Steitz and Company is so well known that I don't need to tell you that Louis went into the clothing busi- ness and now makes and sells about half the clothes worn in New England. Daisy Ackart has sold her large photography business in Boston and is coming back to Meriden to live. She also wrote a book, HHow to Play Basket Ball. After graduating from an art school Theodora Burke went to Europe to study art and, incidentally men. Frances Shay is teaching school in the Philippine Islands. J. Walter Scheffer has built up a peculiar business. First he was a milkman but this didnlt pay. Then he set his mind to work and discovered a way to manufacture eggs by the bushel. This angered all who owned hens and they threatened to mob him unless he charged the market price for eggs. This he promised to do, but immediately he began to give trading stamps. His competitors saw f'Wallie was too Speedy for them and so let him alone. In Hartford there is an excellent confectionary store which is run by Mae Stanley. One day an over-smart young man went in and asked Mae for Uten cents worth of kissesf' Said Mae, I wouldn't kiss you for ten dollarsfl and with a single glance she froze him so stiff that he could hardly walk out. Last, but by no means the least, is Florence Quinlan. Encouraged by her success as Miss Richland in A'The Good- Natured Man, she is going to try her fortune as a professional behind the footlights. She is now in a dramatic school in New York. As for the rest of our classmates, you'll have to ask some one else, as I don't know anything about them. Your Sincere Friend, NI. H. S. ANNUAL POEM FOR CLASS NIGHT 1 9 O 5 MAUDE L. HAMILTON. To the east in the land of the morning Is a garden with leaflets o'er grown And fragrant with beautiful blossoms,- As the Garden of Childhood 'tis known. To-night wc look back o'cr the pathway, W'ith dear, precious memories rife, And pause at the gateway which opens Out into the Highway of Life. To-night we pick daisies of laughter, But, after the birth of two morns, At the gate we'll pluck roses of parting,- And the petals are hiding the thorns. And so We shall pass to the Highway Obeying great Nature's command, And with L'Age quod agis, our motto Press on toward the Sunset Land. M. I-I. S. ANNUAL 91 WILL CF CLASS OF 1905. MARY E. STANLEY.

ANNUAL 95 ORATION JOHN A. HURLEY, JFZ. HE life of man is a continual struggle, a field of work, where he rarely finds rest. Steadfastness is the only shield he can use against the blows of Fortune, but to a man who works with a will, nothing is impossible and a wise man can endure whatever befalls him. just as the birds were made to fly and the fish to swim, so man was made to work with all .his might. 1 In this progressive age where opportunities are so often presented to us, we should bear in mind that we must com- plete each task that we attempt and not be satisfied with half-finished work. The industrious,painstaking man is ap- preciated and forges ahead of the lazy procrastinator, whom he despises, and who is, in a way excluded from society, just as the drone, that refuses to work, is driven from the hive by the busy bee. Threats and reproofs may perhaps urge on the idle, but diligent minds need no spur. One of the principal stepping stones on the road to success is perseverance. Very few failures are due to lack of ability but nearly all are because of want of perseverance. Do all things thoroughly. As an old maxim says, Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of them- selves. In short Do what you do. Carry out what you attempt. Never leave anything half-done. Surely all heroes, all illustrious men must have followed some such watchword. A motto which is just as inspiring to the poor man as to the rich, to young as to old, to the obscure as to the illustrious. We can all find joy and contentment in performing our duties and labors, no matter how exalted or how lowly they may be. Whenever obstacles arise, between the will and the deed, we must work with redoubled might to surmount them. Strive hard and success will attend you. As Cmsar Augustus says, VVhat is done thoroughly is always done without delay. For nothing passes so swiftly or inexorably as time. Make good use of the present. Do not postpone what you may be unable to do later. Do everything thoroughly or in the words of our class motto Age quod agis, Do what you clofl 95 M. H. S. ANNUAL VALEDICTORY EMBERS of the Board of Education, Mr. Superin- tendent and Teachers: Once again does Meriden High School launch forth a new and untried craft and the class of 1905 glides forth toward the sea of lifels wide experience, guided by the beacon light of true endeavor. To each of you does our class wish to extend sincere thanks for your untiring kindness and deep interest. VVe are con- scious that at times we have failed to fully appreciate all the advantages given us, all your interest in our welfare, but you may be doubly assured that the class of 1905 is and ever- will be true to its Alma Mater and true to you as you strive to elevate, strengthen and broaden it. We wish also to express our deep gratitude to the parents and friends who have made it possible for us to enjoy the privilege of High School life, the opportunity of training our minds to an understanding of the beauty in the life and litera- ture about us, of learning the lessons of wise restriction and industry, and of acquiring that breadth of feeling gained when individual thought is laid aside and all unite in loyal school spirit. The responsibility of maintaining the honor of our school will soon rest largely upon the undergraduates and we trust that they may fully realize that Meriden High School de- mands of them their best in all their athletic, social and intellectual pursuits. And now, classmates, time's unrelenting hand on the dial of ages points to the sad moment of parting. Rich in sweet memories of four happy years, rich too in the friend- ships formed, we can but linger as we bid the school, to which we owe so much of our bright hope for the future, a tender last farewell.
