Besides doing this he has also become amember of O E, president of the Athletic Association, presi- dent of his class, member of the 190-1 baseball team. 'lGamelegl' also played on the 1903-'04 basket- ball team, and one Way the school could tell there had been a game was by observing his4 limp. He was voted the nerviest and most inquisitive boy in the class. AMY ANNE SHUTE Qlittle, but, oh mylj first began to fuss Novem- ber 2, 1885, and has been at it ever since, therefore, she was voted class Hfusserf' She states that her aim in life is to have all the fun she can and we are sure she has accomplished her object thus far, for Whenever seen she is always laughing-one of her strong points she says. Her future intentions are strictly private, but she is such a little girl that We hardly expect anything serious. She is our class infant. 'L 'Tis the voice of the sluggard, 1 hear her complain, You have waked me to soon, I must slumber again. MARGARET G. RYAN was voted the laziest girl of 190-1 for the sim- ple reason that she never arrives at school until the very last min- ute. She first began to jolly', the people of Meriden, September 29, 188.5 and has been at it ever since, consequently she was voted class jollier, and also the wittiest girl and biggest eater. She was one of the girls in our class play M. H. S. ANNIUAL I am Sir Oracle, when I ope my lips let no dog barkf' For four years, Harold C. Grant has endeavored to impart to the teachers and students of the Meri- den High School, portions of the immense fund of knowledge he brought with him from Boston, and now finding his Held too small for him, is about to leave us and go to Wesleyan where he intends to become a radium assayist. Gui- nee was substitute on the foot- ball -team of 1903, besides playing first base on the baseball team. A' Maidens should be mild and meek -swift to hear and slow to speakfl IRI-:NE MARGARET RIDLEY, is one of the meekest girls of 1904. Her aim in life, is learning and teaching and as she intends to go to Normal School her object will probably be fulfilled. Irene's favorite book is Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, but I hardly think many of us will agree With her on this point. The time she likes best to study is ll.3O p. m.ebut certainly she doesn't look sleepy or as if she kept such late hours. 'LWhy, look you, you rage and storm. E. CLIFFORD PARKER was voted the class kicker, best actor, grouchiest and class pessimist-a most formidable array of titles. Four years spent in poring over the books of great speeches in the library, finally showed to his eager classmates the result of his reading when he delivered his famous Phillippics on the report of the manager of The Rivals and completely overwhelmed everyone with his fiery eloquence. He in- tends to study law. S. ANNUAL. 'LWho knows most says least. INA CAMILLE BIRDSEY is the grind, most taciturn and most in- dustrious girl of her class. Ina is so very small that you would hard- ly believe that she was born as long ago as 1886. However, such is the case. When she was called upon to recite it might truly have been said of the class that Still they gazed and still the Won- der grew, That one small head could com- pass all she knew. Is she not passing fair?', , I am sure you will all agree with us on this point as Gertrude Louise Stadtrniller, always known as A' Gert, was voted our class beauty -she was also voted most popular, most versatile, best actress, and most admired. For two years she has been Vice-President of the 1904 class and also of the Girl's Athletic Association, Along with all the other class honors 'iGert received, she was also voted grub- ber,noisiest and nerviest girl of 1904. Come, let's to dinnerg come, let's to dinner. sf We have now a subject too large for the place into which he must be put. Of course we mean no one but ROBERT NICHOLS CHAFFEE, twice captain of the now defunct track team, captain of the 1903 football team, twice Business Man- ager of the PENNANT, member of Alpha Delta Sigma, Boy in the Rivals, treasurer of 1904, the big- gest jollier, the noisiest, the laziest and the biggest eater in the class of 1904. M. H. S. ANNIUXL She's pretty to walk with, She's witty to talk with, and pleasant too, to think on. JULIA .ANNA TRACY first became acquainted with the world, Febru- ary ll, 1887, in the city of Meriden. Julia is one of the smallest girls of 1904. She came within one- half inch of being class infant. But even though small she is sure to be noticed wherever she goes as Julia is one of the pretty girls ofthe class. Her favorite hour to study is 8.30 A. M., but we are sure she uses other time than this. 'Al have spent many happy hours in the class. DENNIS T. O'BRIEN says his opin- ion of self is all right and we are sure his classmates will heartily agree with him, Ted is one of these Uget-there fellows, as he proved by his work on the football team, on which he played two years as end and fullback. In school he gave hearty assistance in the Senior German class, as a member of the U Merry Chorus in their celebrated Laughing Song. He is amember of O E and intends to go to college. A Learning requires much study. EDITH MARGARET CLARK arrived in Meriden, November 19, l885. Edith for some unknown reason, has always been loathe to tell her middle name, but as we see no ob- jection to it, we feel justified in giving it here. Edith is one of the most studious girls of the class, even studies at intermission. Every summer Edith goes to the shore as soon as school closes and re- mains there until it opens again. 50 M. H. S. ANNUAL. 1 do not talk much. STANLEY LYNN says he came to High School to pass away the time. Twice he has been known to crack a joke. But he evidently believes in deeds, not words, for during the past three years he has played catch on the baseball team to perfection and his absence will be much felt next year. He was voted the meekest and most taciturn boy in the class. He can not decide between the ministry and the undertaking business for f'The lady doth protest too much methinksf' MARY EDN.-X BANNER was voted class kicker, fussiest and grouch- iest girl of 1904. Edna says her strong point is walking, and in this we all agree with her as she has a decidedly long walk to school and we have also heard her mention moonlight journeys to the Tower. CWe wonder if these were made alone?j Her future intentions are undecided. She is a staunch mem- ber of Kappa Mu Sigma, and took his future work in life. part in our class play. L' 'llis folly to be wise. HAROLD HULL GRISWOLD was born November 12, 1886. In Senior year, he realized his proper position, and immediately began to consort with his intimate friends of the Freshman class and Freshman class to-be. His greatest composition we think, is not his oration,Cfor he is our orator,j but his report of the play, in which it was found that the receipts eX- ceeded the expenses by 25 cents. He was elected class fusser, most admired, best dresser, and class optimist. M. H. S. ANNU-XL Adieu, she cried, and waved her lily hand. One of our suburban students is PANSY LILLIAN REAM,A, who during her four years course has travelled back and forth to South Meriden. Pansy is an adept at quoting poetry and was never known to fail in oratory. How many of us can say this? But although Pansy has a great fond- ness for poetry, she also has an eye to the practical things in life, for she tell us that her favorite book is the pocket book. f'Come, lead me to my friends- my books. As an example of the ideal stu- dent, FRED CHARLES LEINING cer- tainly can claim first place. A' Fred- die was born on March 6, 1886, and from that time on he has never ceased to study. But then, what could one expect when he avows that he came to High School. to gain knowledge and what is more extraordinary that he ac- complished his object. Truly he is a wonder. He is our class grind, most industrious boy. 'fThey are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts In the list of our studious schol- ars the name of NINA EDGERTON THOMPSON stands out prominently. She came to M. H. S. to have a good time and to increase her knowledge. The first part of this two-fold object she says she accom- plished, and from all that the class could judge she succeeded equally well in the last part. Nina was on THE PENNANT staff and was voted the best dressed girl in the class. 52 M. H. S. ANNUAL. 4'The sweetest garland to the sweetest maid. BESSIE HALE MILLER is one of the pretty and popular girls of 1904. For two years Bess per- formed the arduousC?j duties of president of the Girls' Athletic Association. But then we doubt not that she received during the year of 1903, material assistance from the president of the Boys' Athletic Association, otherwise she could not have acquitted herself so well. She represented her school at the Southington Declamation Contest and was in UThe Rivals, UA man in sizegbut not in years. Behold! the class infant of 19011, DUDLEY HARMON, whose height is only 6 feet, 3 inches. Dudley was Editor-in-Chief of THE PEN- NANT for 1903-304 and Editor-in- Chief of the 1904 ANNUAL. ln our 'class play f'The Rivals, he made a big hit as 'fFaulkland. His future intentions are looking for a job. In this we are sure he will succeed as he says his motto is: 'fNewer do today what can be done tomowowf, Dudley is a prominent member of Alpha Delta Sigma. Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and lowgan excellent thing in woman. On October 25th, 1886, JESSIE C. H. FERGUSON first opened her eyes to the world. Jessie is one of our admirable girls and afstar debater. We feel sure that the girls Cunfortunately the boys were deprived of this privilegejwill al- ways cherish with pleasure the memory of her oratory recitations, when her sweet low voice charmed us all. Jessie was elected the prophetess of 1904. X l MI-ISAl . . mv The next best thing to a very good joke is a very bad jokefl MELVILLE BAUM BERNSTEIN Sig. is the son of one of our leading clothiers who has kept him Well supplied with checks during his High School days. As a manager, lVIellie is in his element, as he showed with the 190-L baseball team. He was voted the Wittiest and fuss- iest boy in the class, and besides these honors was Sir Lucuis of NUAL. 53 'fThe Rivals, a member of the basketball team, and president of the C. I. B. B. A. A quiet maid. JENNIE ELIZABETH FANNON came very near being a Christmas present as she was born December 26, 1885, in the city of Meriden. Jennie is one of our quiet girls. But we remember once how she startled us in German recitation one day by announcing I am a nightingalef' She says her favor- ite time to study is in the evening, but we are afraid this doesn't hap- pen every evening, not because she does not have her lessons, but with Truly, a good natured man, a smile that was childlike and bland. You would not think it to look at him but GERALD REYNOLDS is the class grubber. f'Shiner'l made himself famous as Chairman of the Senior Socials Committee. It was his brain that first conceived the idea and to him the class is respon- sible for many a good time during the past Winter. We were much surprised to find on his census list that his future intentions are- Umarriage and the consequences. we think some evenings are other- Wise engaged. Rf 54 M. H. S. ANNUAL. Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven. IDA ALLEN DUNLOP has been with us but three years. During that time she has proven herself, besides a good student, a fine musician, for she has presided at the piano on Monday mornings and also acted as a very able accompanist during the singing periods. Ida says her strong point is sleeping but as she always appears very wide awake in school, we have our doubts about this. i'There is something marvelous engaging about this man. We are everyone of us thankful that CHARLES BABCOCK EARLE came to M. H. S. For two years he has been a mainstay of the football team, four years he has pitched for the baseball team, and has also played basketball. By the class he was voted the best athlete of 1904, but by unanimous opinion he is the Hall round and best athlete in the school. He was also elected the most popular boy 'lGood nature and good sense are usually companionsfy The class voted .ANNA CHR1sT1NE MUELLER its best dispositioned girl. Annie is a member of Alpha Alpha, secretary of the Girls' Athl- etic Association and an excellent musician. Her strong point we think was her voice which was heard every YVednesday morning during the last year resounding loud and clear through the chapel. Her aim in life so she tells us is to grow tall. VVe wish you success. M. H. S. ANBUAL I have seen visionsf' A most interesting member of the class is LEW ALLEN, IR., who arrived from Dreamland, on May 16, 1889. During the last two years he has furnished the reading public with much amusement as author of the H High School Notes in our evening paper, and has frequently aston- ished them by his marvellous state- ments. He is one of the few boys who have accomplished the feat of going through High School and never receiving a bill for dues to the Athle'ic Association. 'LA progeny of learningf, Bridgeport is responsible for MABEL THERESA GALLIVAN, and Bridgeport may well be proud of Miss Gallivan. Mabel is one of the brightest and smartest girls of 1904, as all her classmates fully realize. She says that sciences are her favorite studies but we think that she does pretty well in all of her studies whether she likes them or not. Mabel must be an opti- mist for she says that her future is looking for fun. HGenerally quiet, but upon oc- casion a droll fellow, CHESTER HOMER LYNN is not a classic student, as his name would imply. Chet has played on the baseball team four years and was this year captain. While sitting quietly in recitation one day, he pulled out of his pocket a startling collection of teeth, gold, ivory and false, which caused all sorts of stories to be circulated about him until it was learned that he intends to become a dentist. 56 M.

It is extremely gratifying to know that there was at least one student Whose time was all employed. Miss Bernstein was voted the most inquisitive girl in her class. I preceive in you so excellent a trait as modesty. Unable to shake off the influence of South Meriden, for the first three years of his High School life, MIL- TON L.

History PART 1. GERTRUDE L. STADTMILLER. 'AAS Freshmevz jimi we came to M. H. S. HERE was once upon a time or, to be more specific, there was on the seventh of September, 1900, a mighty stir in High School affairs in general and in Room H in particular. For it was then that the never-to-be-forgotten class of 1904 made its entrance into M. H. S. and began its illustrious career. There were also a few minor changes which occured at the beginning of this momentous epoch and wh'ch are perhaps worthy of mention, for instance, Mr. Prouty as- sumed the duties of principal, succeeding Prof. Frost, Mr. Clark became assistant principal and Miss Rogers joined the faculty. At its first mustering the class numbered one hundred and ten members. To be sure the rehave been larger entering classes but we made up in quality what we lacked in quantity. This is more especially true of us as a graduating class for at our last roll-call on VVednesday, thirty-two students will assemble to receive their diplomas. During our Freshman year we were truly a sober and in- dustrious body of students. Toward the close of the year, however, we began to realize, partially at least, our own im- portance and to act accordingly. But even so the notoriety of 1904 as a Freshman class was gained through a few of its members. In the literary line one student at least demonstrated his proficiency during his first year. Dudley Harmon's first con- tribution to THE PENNANT in the form of a clever story, won M. H. s. ANNUAL. 59 for him a reputation which he has been compelled to live up to during the three subsequent years. Throughout his course Dud has been one of the striking figures of his class. He has served in the following capacities: President of the Debating Club, member of the 1904 football team, the disconsolate lover in 'fThe Rivals, editor-in-chief of THE PENNANT, 1903-'04, Editor-in-chief of the 1904 ANNUAL, and according to the in- fallible authority on school topics, 'Lchief spouter at the Sen- ior class meetings, and he was voted our class infant. In athl- etic circles, Sh:-1nks, or f'Schlank, or f'Sliver, or Long Tom, or 'fHonest Long Cut will ever be famous for one memorable run in the New Britain football game. When a youth of his statureutakes to his heels and runs the length of a perfectly clear Held with a pigskin under his arm, the spectators behold a sight which is at once pleasing and amusing. This run was the one topic of conversation at school for weeks after. It was likewise as a Freshman that Chester Homer Lynn became a member of the baseball team. He proved himself such a valuable member that he was elected captain of this year's nine. Chet H intends to become a dentist, but recalling him in his role of the dude with a monocle, we think that he would do equally as well as an English nobleman. The event of real importance for a Freshman Class is Freshman Public and ours was no exception. On that night we made the effort of our lives and did ourselves proud. Nor were the decorations any inconsiderable element of the success. Has anyone forgotten that memorable rosette which graced the back wall of the stage? The committee at least must remem- ber it-it was so artistically constructed. But let us mention some of the scholars who took part in the affair. Daisy May Bernstein was one who covered herself with glory then as she has many other times on similar occasions. During her course Dais has been remarkable for two things: The one, her habit of speaking before she thinks, and the other, her extensive vocabulary. She was voted the most inquisitive girl in the class and came near being class jollier. In the slang '60 M. H. s. ANNUAL. sense of the word Daisy is a great 'ftalkerf' If you doubt this ask any member of the Wesleyan or Amherst College Glee Clubs. Mary Edna Banner was one of the few chosen to take part in the Freshman Public and of the still fewer chosen to take part in the Senior Public. This surely speaks well for her oratorical ability. As a rule Edna has very little to say for herself but when she is thoroughly aroused 'fthen she will talk, good gods! how she will talk! Hence she was voted the class kicker. But don't cry, Edna, for even granting that the census list is authentic in this case, there are worse things than Hkickersl' in the world. You might have been historian. Behold our prophetess! Jessie C. H. Ferguson, who ren- dered so well '4The lnventorls W'ife on the night on question. Jessie is a demure little maid and so very unassuming that you would never guess how much she knows. However, you will have an opportunity to judge of her ability for yourselves this evening. It was Jessie who won that famous debate from the boys. l'Ye call me chief, and ye do well to call me chief. Since the night of our Freshman public we have not associated these swords with '4Spartacus to the gladiatorsf' but with our illus- trious historian, Melville Baum Bernstein. Mel's has been really a very eventful school career-he has contrived in one 'way or another to keep his name continually before the public. We deeply regret the fact that in this limited space we can memtion but one or two of the responsible positions which he has held. In his role of 'fSir Lucius O'Trigger he played the Irish baronet to perfection, particularly in the last scene of the play where he gave the best exhibition of his histrionic ability. He has likewise been manager of the l904 baseball team and we may add the most successful manager the school has been able to boast of in some years. f'Mellie or UBernie or f'Sig or lVlel,' was voted the fussiest and wittiest fellow of M. H. s. ANNUAL. Iil 1904. Next fall will probable find him at Yale. We advise you, Mel, to have an eye to the Dramatic Association there and if you fail as a comedian you can surely make your living as a trick rider, either in specialties or vaudeville. 'AAS SOPh0WLO'l'CS rzcxt we had om' taskf, Although as is customary, quite a few scholars left school at the end of their Freshman year, nevertheless, we received a large addition at that time in the form of Robert Nichols Chaffee, who is perhaps better known by any of his numerous aliases, for instance: BOb, ' 'tBottle, 'tBruin,'l t'Bull, etc., etc. Bob has received his share of class honors,being voted jollier, biggest eater, noisiest, and laziest, and coming dangerously near being class fusser. To keep track of Bob's girls is a task quite impossible. His list of correspondents comprises ladies in every city or village that he has ever visited. But at school he seems to favor the little short ones that shoot QShutej sidelong glances at him. But his interests are not wholly concerned with the fair sex. His fondness for the edible things in the world Bob demonstrates at every possible opportunity. He is truly 'fa man with an unbounded stomach. He was captain of the 1903 football team. Ida Allen Dunlop also joined the class in her sophomore year. During her three years course she has distinguished herself as a pianist and also become universally popular because of her sunny disposition. Ida intends to be a teacher and we feel sure that in such a position she will make a name for her- self and possibly lose it. This year we were represented by three men on the foot- ball team-Earle, Little, and O'Orien. Earlels brilliant history is to be related by a more illustrious historiang Little has since left schoolg Dennis Thomas O'Brien, Jr., as well as Earle, has played on the two subsequent football teams besides on the one already memtioned. During the year 1903, Ted recorded the minutes of the Athletic Association, succeeding his brother Doc in the position.

The great success of the Prom. was undoubtedly due to the hustling of the manager, Harold Rogers. On the eighth of May, 1903, the Declamation Contest with Lewis High School of Southington took place. Of the three girls who represented M. H. S. at that time, Bessie Hale Miller, was the only one who was not a Senior. Bess has gained quite a reputation in this line of work but her accomplishments eX- tend in other directions also. For two years she has been presi- dent of the Girls' Athletic Association and has shown herself equal to the arduous CPD duties of the position. We can never forget what a charming Lydia Bess made in the Senior playg how naturally she acted in those sentimental scenes, making them very realistic indeed. We wonder how Bess could have brought her art to such perfection, it having been, as we sup- pose, something entirely new to her, as well as to Capt. Abso- lute. Bessie was voted the most conceited girl in the class. It was while we were juniors that Grace M. Hurley, Smith, '01, became a member of the faculty. Although none of us were under Miss Hurley's direct supervision, still we grew to look upon her as one ever ready to assist us out of any diffi- culty which might arise. It was likewise in our junior year that we selected our pins, our motto and our colors. 'AAS Seniors next we played our parts. In October, 1903, the report was circulated that Mr. Clark was going to leave us. We were almost tempted to be sur- prised at this intelligence, but coming so soon after that other announcement concerning him, we were prepared for surprises at his hand. Mr. Clark was succeeded by Edward L. Mont- gomery, a Wesleyan man, and at the beginning of this year, Mabelle C. Grant also a Wesleyan graduate entered upon the duties of an M. H. S. teacher. Although Mr. Montgomery and Miss Grant have been with us but one year still they have be- come universally popular, not only with the Seniors, but with the whole school. 64 M. H. s. ANNUAL. At our senior elections, the vice-president and secretary were re-elected, Rogers became president and Chaffee, treas- urer. But the event of the year was the Publicfthe presentation of Sheridan's NThe Rivals by an Hall-star cast. ihe mem- ory of it is so fresh in our minds that it is unnecessary to give a detailed account of it here. Suffice it to say that like every- thing else Which the class of 1904 attempted it Was a success. Here it is altogether fitting and proper to mention Mar- garet Geneveive Ryan, who made such a hit as 'fLucy, the maid and in her little act with 'fSir Lucius brought down the house. Besides being our optimist, Madge was voted the laziest, biggest eater and vvittiest girl in the class, this last characteristic she displayed most freely in oratory. As soon as she stepped up on the platform, even before she said a vvord, she was almost invariably greeted with a suppressed titter from the class. Perhaps it was on this account that she so often tried to be excused from oratory-truly on 'Wednesday morn- ings. Kiln her face excuse came prologue And apology too promptfl One feature of the vvinter's enjoyment has been the Senior Socials. Gerald Was the originator of the idea and to him is largely due the credit for carrying out the plan so success- fully. There were six socials held respectively at Reynolds's, Miss Miller's, Roger's, Miss Mueller's, Bernstein's and High School Hall. We advice succeeding classes to follow our exam- ple, for doubtless many of our pleasantest recollections of school days will be associated with these affairs. There seems to be a slight difference in the size of our in- fants this year. Besides being class infant, Amy Anne Shute was voted the fusseress of 1904. She Was also a member of the famous chemistry class, Where her strong point Was bor- rowing. Ask her from whom. M. H. s. ANNUAL. 65 Our class grind is Ina Camilla Birdsey. Ina is a quiet little girl who unlike most of her sex, keeps her thoughts to her- self. It was doubtless on this account that the class voted her its most taciturn member. Fred Charles Leining has shared with Miss Birdsey the honor of class grind. Freddie is HA solemn youth with sober phiz. Who eats his grub and minds his biz. He was also voted our most industrious member. In his case at least, We think that the census list is correct. Although We have had many pleasures and enjoyments this year still there was one which our immediate predecessor participated in and which We have been deprived of by the faculty. We are at a loss to know whether this was due to any fault of ours or simply to disinclination on their part and we fear now that the cause will ever remain a mystery. Here, as I have now completed my task, I will conclude and retire in favor of my more able colleague. The saddest tale We have to tell, Is when We bid our school farewellf' 66 M. H. ANNUAL. History PART ll. MELVILLE B. BERNSTEIN. Historians ought to be precise, truthful, and quite unpre- yjudiced, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, :should cause them to swerve from the path of truth, whose mother is history. As a historian l have had very little experience, and l feel indeed insignificant to the task which I must undertake, but l shall endeavor to do justice to the class. l shall begin With the most popular girl in the class, our vice-president, Miss Gertrude Louise Stadtmiller. 'fGert during her course has had a very brilliant career. 'Twould re- quire volumes to give a full account of her life while in the M. H. S., but, in brief, she is our class beauty. 'LThoughtless of beauty, she is Beautyfs selff' Then, too, she is our most admired and most versatile. She was one of the editors of the Girls' Department of THE PENNANT, and displayed her genius in writing editorials and stories. Gert has always much to say, and Was therefore voted the noisest girl Who ever attended a Senior Class meeting. I must not forget that Gert was also vice-president ofthe Girls' Athletic Association Qwhich seldom metl. Then, too. the boys consider her OK., for she is a cheer- ing madam, and has always been an upholder of school athletics. Had it not been for M. Gerald Reynolds, it is doubtful if We would have passed such delightful evenings at our Senior socials. He was the prime mover at all these affairs, and through his huspling a good time was always enjoyed. Gerald is very musical, being a good pianist, and also having a remark- able bass voice. He has been engaged to sing in a church choir, M. H. s. ANNUAL. 67 and will in time become an Edward de Rezkee. But even the man who sings bass should be high-toned, Gerald. Reynolds and Chaffee have been dubbed f'The Heavenly Twins. Miss Irene Margaret Ridley was voted the meekest girl of the class. She tells us that she came to school because she had to but she has been here long enough to become accustomed to school life and has decided to enter Normal in the fall. Stanley Robert Lynn, alias A' Mul, is considered the finest catcher in the High School Baseball League. He is, neverthe- less, very taciturn and meek during school hours and 'tis strange f'They never taste who always drink, They never talk who always think. He still tells us that never-to-be-forgotten memorial morn- ing when he made his debut as a pitcher. Mul intends to be- come a minister, although his aim in life is to be an undertaker. Pansy Lillian Reama comes to us from South Meriden. She is a French scholar and considers her favorite time to study during the French recitation period. She is the fussiest girl in the class. Milton Lanyon Bennett, who comes to us from that suburb in the south, one day startled his German class by saying that the best and most correct German was spoken at Hanover. He is a gridiron hero having played left end on our l9U3 football team. Milton is also our clsss optimist. He wrote one of the winning Hicks Prize Essays. Miss Jennie Elizabeth Fannon is one of the quietest girls of our class. She declares that her strong point is getting to school just as the last bell rings. She loses half an hour every morn- ing and runs after it during all the day without being able to overtake it. Jennie is a good German scholar, although she still continues to say 'AI-Iich bin. I come next to Miss Julia Tracy, one of our class infants. Julia is another one of our quiet girls having none of the char- acteristics of her namesake, Tracy, the Outlaw. Julia is fond of birds. You may see her in Hubbard Park feeding the robins but 'tis said that the Wren holds CReynoldsj her esteem. She will, this evening, read the last will and testament of an old friend, Mr. Nine Teen Four. GS M. H. s. ANNUAL. Now, let me introduce to you, Harold Grant, our class gen- ius. Harold is likewise our most versatile. He can A'perform anything from mending an unbrella to shearing a pig. Harold's middle name is Clark, which is most unfortunate for had his last name been what his middle name is, it would be unnecessary for her to change her mind and her name at the same time. 'flnk was our first baseman on the champion Baseball Team and he played the position like a veteran. He will enter Wesleyan in the fall. You are doubtless all familiar with the High School Notes which are published in the Meriden Daily Journal. 'lhese are some of the literary achievements of Lewis Allen, Jr. Lew was voted the most inquisitive boy in the class. He comes, the herald of a noisy world. He has gained quite a reputation for himself as an original writer and was fortunate in receiving a Hicks Prize. Harold Hull Griswold, you all know himg he's our hand- somest boy and although not the most popular boy in the class, he is undoubtedly one of the most popular in the school. He is our class orator and you will hear him speak this evening. L' Doc is truly a great spouter and often wins over the 'fladies in the class meetings when 'the keeps on refusing and talks of con- vincing while we think of dining. Gris will no doubt receive one of the prizes offered by the journal for counting the number of Udotsf' A short time ago Gris went to see a famous nerve specialist. Ml think, said the doctor, Hthat you have woman- itisf' Since then A' Doc has been living on the fat of the land and he declares that he will continue to Doolittle. 'AGO North, young man, go Northf' Gris, know thy opportunity, for you are our class fusser. To Gris all the world's a stage and he wants to be the stagefmanagerf' However, Doc the long haired individual isn't always the genius. lt's the bald headed man who seems to be coming out on top. Gris is one of our Hicks Prize winners. Of late he has been perusing such books as Treasure Island and Kidnapped Again, Go North, young man, go North. M, H. s. ANNUAL. 69 Although one of the youngest members of our class, Mabelle Theresa Gallivan is nevertheless one of our high stand scholars. She is very conscientious and attentive to her studies, of which her favorite is Science. She will enter Normal in the fall. My ambition is to become very tall, says Miss Anna Christine Mueller Now that is the sort of ambition to have, Annie, for you cannot be expected to look up to him all your life Annie is a good pianist but she prefers History to Music, saying she would rather read in Ivanhoe of the exploits of Rich- ard, the lion-hearted. Anna expects to enter Smith College. Do leave some of your fudge, Anna ere you depart. l'The Man Behind Harold Gale Rogers our class pres- ident, president of Athletic Association, member of both base- ball and basketball teams, captain of tennis team, chairman of Junior Prom. and chairman of the Reception Committee. Har- old is considered the most conceited boy in the class, also the nerviest,but does she think so? He wona Hicks Prize,writing on Nathan Hale. I bethinks it might have been a more interesting subject, Harold, had you written on Bessie Hale. Harold seldom carries an umbrella, for Why should he inasmuch as he is generally on a Pleasant street. Harold's favorite teacher is Mr. Prouty, because Mr. Prouty's favorite scholar is Harold. If he don't go to Richmond, VVesleyan will hold Harold, if possible in the fall. There you will hear him humming, She Was the Miller's daughter fairfy Our class valedictorian is Miss Edith Margaret Clark. Edith is a very bright Latin scholar and she is also a very excellent scholar in German. She believes in the Uelement of chance and she is Tryon to persuade her friends to believe as she does. 'Tis unfortunate, Edith, that none of the girls would take Higher Algebra-but why did you not take Oratory? Edith, the girl who hesitates is left at the hitching post. Must I introduce to you Charles Babcock Earle? To me it does not seem at all necessary-for who has not heard of him? One of the best if not the best all 'round High School athlete in in the state. Carl is the finest pitcher We have ever had or are likely to have in years to come And as a baseball twirler he 70 M. I-I. s. ANNUAL. has kept keyed up to the proper pitch. He is also one of the best High School basketball centers. He was also the crack-a- jack half back of our 1903 football team. W hat is the most remarkable part of all is that he has played on almost every team we have had and has not been only able to keep up his studies but has had an average so high that he has been com- pelled to take very few final examinations. Then Charlie is the most popular boy in his class and without a doubt the most popular in the school. Let me ask: Vlfho was Earle? 'fFirst in VVar, First in Peace, And first in the Hearts of his Classmates. Several changes in the faculty have taken place since the last class graduated. Mr. Clark, our assistant principal resigned to take a position in Lynn, Mass., and Mr. Montgomery was secured to take his place. It will suffice to say that Mr Mont- gomery has grown to be the most popular teacher in the school. School life for us is now over and soon we shall have our vacation, when will begin the annual three months' efforts of the teachers to spend their money. For the past year we have had a most prosperous season of Athletics. VVe again have won for the second successive season, the Championship of the State in baseball. We also had the second best football team in the fall of 1903. Then too l must needs speak of the lack of room in this High School. For the past year or more the cry has been, fWVe want more room. VVe must have it. Classes are now forced to recite in the ante-rooms in our chapel and even in the library and in Mr. Prouty's office. The old adage: There's always room on the top will soon lose its weight. Shall we build a roof garden and there recite our Oratory and there solve our Alzebraic equations? That would be a tip-top idea.

After a great deal of hard work, I located Mabel Gallivan in the Philippines, where she was using her great store of knowledge instructing the Filippinos. I received a letter from China one day, and in great haste tore it open. It was from Irene Ridley. She wrote, 'AI have been trying to teach the Chinamen what I learned when I used to teach Sunday School in Meriden but I had given up in de- spair and was about to return home when I met- well he's a charming minister, and I think I will stay. Stanley Lynn, after trying in vain to manufacture some white shoe-blacking became a juggler and was one of the chief attractions in the side show of a circus of which Mel Bernstein was manager. I heard that Melville's greatest difficulty was in getting a trick bicycle rider but then, that shouldnt worry him at all. I found that Ina Birdsey was teaching school in one of the low grades, and she had no difficulty in keeping order, as her commanding voice scared the pupils into submission. Earle was pitching for the New York Baseball team, and he threw such curves that the ball came right back to him+ boomerang fashion, you know. They were chasing them with the bat like a professor with a net does a butterfly. He was making so many home runs that they couldn't keep any chalk on the line of bases. In a bookstore I was looking over a book with a very long titlegu The Trials of a Society VVoman, New Gowns, Howfhjard Qtob Tryon. After some inquiry I found that it had been written by a leader in London Society, formerly Miss Edith Clark, of Meriden, Conn. She had married a newspaper editor. As a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, I was not surprised to hear sounded throughout the whole of Italy, the name of Harold Grant. Verily, a second Marconi. During some of his travels in that country he had invented a new fashioned wheelbarrow. All you have to do, is pick it up and push it. I saw him for just a minute when I was leaving -he looked very happy.

She will fall in love withone of her Russian patients and later become Madam Slov- ahunski. Miss Jessie Ferguson will devote herself to a life spent in luxurious idleness. She will soon fall heir to a gold brick, which was bought by one of her antecedents on his first trip to New York. The coating of gold on the outside will amount to nearly half a dollar. 'lhe annual interest therefrom will keep her com- fortably in a palatial residence on Fifth Avenue. 'lhe head of Dudley Harmon eludates the prediction, that he will become assistant to a Civil Engineer. His short stride of ten feet will do away with the usual steel measure and chain. He will simply walk over the place to be measured and count his steps. The engineer will thereby be saved considerable work, Thereafter, Dudley will be used exclusively to measure .such distances, as the height of newly discovered mountains, the circumference of the earth, etc. Miss Annie Mueller will spend her future days in trying to get Rich. Success will eventually crown her efforts and she will settle down in the next house to Miss Ferguson on Fifth Avenue. She will awake her neighbors each morning with a few selections on her ever present piano. Dennis Thomas O'Brien, Jr., will graduate from Yale a Veterinary Surgeon. He will make a specialty of treating 'fhorsesn and ponies that are abused in the High Schools of the state. Miss Daisy Bernstein, after her education is finished, will return home and become a blessing to her family. But, hearing of the marriages of so many of her classmates and friends, she will become conscious of her own loneliness. She will pack a valise, so as to be ready to fly at the shortest notice. And so, some night in the future, grabbing her valise, she will rush madly out of the house, as there floats through her window that old familiar refrain? f'Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true. 78 M.

For four years we have worked together and played together, but from now on our ways must part, some of us will begin life in earn- est, others of us will continue the preparation begin here. But wherever our paths lead, whatever our future vocations may be we will still carry with us the motto of our High School life, 'lKhow Thy Oppo1't1fz.1fzity.'f VVe appreciate tonight perhaps better than ever before the opportunities we have had during the past four years and we realize that still greater ones are in store for us which we will benefit by or loose as we are able to discern and take advantage of them. And it was with a reali- zation of this that we chose as our motto, Know Thy Oppor- tunity. It was with such a motto as this that, many hun- dreds of years ago, the great Alexander conquered the world, that, Years afterwards, Caear built, stone upon stone, the Roman Empireg that Napoleon saved from devastation and destruction his country, France. It was such a motto as this that guided Bismarck during the early years of the German Empireg that guided Cromwell, that famous defender of freedom, when he loosed the English people from the bonds of Tyranny. lt was with such a motto that our own immortal Washington laid the foundations of this great Republic and in later years Lin- coln freed his people from the curse of slavery. And we may find among the eminent men of our own times living ex- amples, among the financeers, among the philanthropists, and even in our President, of men who have risen through their own efforts and a close adherence to such a motto as we have chosen, Know Thy Opportffmityfl M.

Upon the heights the Wayfarer pauses to scan the path of his wanderings and to locate the spots which have become dear to him through pleas- ant associationsg to anticipate his course for the days to come. he looks back to the sparkling streams with their grassy banks, the green meadows, the narrow defiles, nodding Howers, and the steep rocky pathsg before him he sees a flower-decked slope and beckoning shadows Hfalling on a land of hope. The mo- ments on the hilltops are always moments of reflection. Such we have reached in our High School course. For four years we have climed sometimes steadfastly and with animated zeal, but often with lagging steps this intellectual ascent and now we, by no means wearied, have at length gained the highest hilltop yet reached by us. Here, like the wayfarer, we pause a momentg we reflect with mingled pleasure and sadness upon the past and eagerly look forward to the future. ln another's words: 'fWe look before and after, And pine for what is notg Our sincerest laughter lNith some pain is fraught. As we recall the past that which comes most forcibly to our minds is the great gratitude we owe to those whose care has surrounded our school life and made its achievements possible. Both as a class and individually, we wish to extend 84 M. H. s. ANNUAL. our thanks to our parents, to the board of education, to our principal and teachers who have labored so faithfully and have been so patient with us. We appreciate the advantages so generously given to aid us in acquiring mental training and in fitting ourselves for the next duty. May We, in the future, find friends as kind, as helpful, and as interested in our Welfare and prosperity! To the undergraduates Whom We are leaving, We are now permitted to say a parting Word. For you remains the privi- lege of further years at the old High School. Appreciate them. Know their worth before they are gone.

Yet, though our paths hereafter are to be diversed, may we ever be loyal to our school. There still remains one Word to be spoken-O that it might be with the expectation of being together once more as a class, auhwe- dersehenf' but the fates decree otherwise-it must be fare- Well. fy W M.
