L X XjXET. John P ' ' . Coyne, who took a two yi-ars’ I higlish diplom: a in ’82, died Nov. 22. This is the fl rst death in the class which entered this school in ’86. Irving W. Sweet, ’82, l»ook-kee])er for J. M. I staln-ook and Ck ., was mar¬ ried Thaid s );iviuit day at lIo])kinton to Ida (). IJneoln of that j)Iaee. The young couple were tlie reei])ients of many valuable jiresents and in the evening were given a reception by Mr. Sweet’s parents, Chas. II. ] Iorrill, ’82, is ])rinci])al of the Wilton, N. II., high school. Thomas Conniff, ’82, is attending the Bryant and Stratton Commercial School, Boston. Edward Barrett, ’83, is attending the Amherst Agricultural College. The leader of the class of ’83 is now a ldressed as ]Mrs. G. II. Libby. Dr. Daniel Nelson, a former pujiil, has a successful ])ractice in Chicago. Moses Low, a former pn])il, is cash¬ ier in a bank in Worcester, Mass. Stephen Low, his brother and also a )m])il, is an insurance agent in St. Louis. At our last meeting, Dec. 12, the following ])rogram was presented: The Mn gic Lantern, by Horace Brown; The Mistletoe Bough, JMaggie Minon ; .. ' Vll (Juiet Along the Potomac To¬ night, Hattie Smith; Instrumental Music, Carrie Pheld ; A JVIedley, Peter McBride; My Aunt, Essie Thayer; The Boys, Uobert Hussey. This was followed by the usual games and songs. Startling information from Geology, 3, “What makes Englaml warmer than America?” “Cun-ents.” P ' ' rom what ])lace?” “The Arctic Ocean.” “Etiam si qnod scribas non habebis, seribito tamen.” This well ex})resses the comlition of some of our com])Osi- tion writers,—if we may judge by ])er cents. Surgeons are no longer to be useless drones in the hives of socdety. Hence¬ forth they are not to ” us, but ‘•‘‘Stick’’ ' ’ for us, for they Avill be made into isinglass and later into cement.

The young ladies hojnng to shame the young men, had planned to assist the jn-incipal in raking the yard, but have been prevented from so doing, by the weather.

Our teachers this term Imve correct¬ ed outside of school hours 650 compo¬ sitions, 1000 examination jiajiers and hejird 320 rehearsals. This is in addi¬ tion to class exercise papers. Our class is now deeply interested in interest, for we boast of a bank ac¬ count of twenty dollars and we feel as ))roud as the subject of the fable, ‘Alidier quiiedtun habebat gallinam etc.” Now is the time when the scholars are planning how to divide their time between articles for Christmas tind ar¬ ticles for the sj ring exhibition. Utinam gentium sumus ? A scholar in Geometry, 3, rises and says to his teacher, “I lease tell me if you bisect that line in the middle ?” A question for the new drawing teacher :—Are plasters drawing mate¬ rials ? Philoso])hy, 3, may feel proud of the various i)ieces of apparatus they have made when they learn that a certain city high school not far from here, has not yet attemihed anything of the kind.

Sweet, our release from it, every time.” Is he another missing link?

If others feel in¬ clined to do likewise there is still shelf-room in our book-cases which we would like to see filled. The scholars find the small library Under this head the editors are desirous of stating all facts that may be of interest to the alumni and friends of the school.

We heartily thank all those tvho met our first issue with ready hands and o])en ' pocket-books, and thus help¬ ed make the jiaper a greater success than we dared at first to antieijiate. The largest number of papers, sev¬ enty in all, was sold by Miss McCarten, who justly deserved the book award¬ ed to her for her perseverance and success in disposing of them. There were 465 pajiers sold, 43 mailed to exchanges, 55 mailed to former mem¬ bers of the school, not residing in town, who Avill receive the fii-st two numbers and are then expected to send us their subscrijitions for the year. We have already obtained 63 regular subscribers, who have paid in advance. We Avere greatly pleased and en¬ couraged by the kindly mention made of our first attempt at journalism by the Woonsocket Evening Reporter, which in a recent issue says:— “It gladdens the editorial heart to see the boys and girls of our high schools adopting the best possible means of instructive diver¬ sion—the school paper. The senior class of the Milforil, Mass., high school are issuing the handsomest and perhaps best specimen of a school neio.s-paper we have seen—the Oak, Lily and Ity, a little monthly with twelve columns, seven editors and a novel advertising feature.” which wc are so fortunate as to pos¬ sess, of great benefit to them. The text books freipiently contain refer¬ ences to jiersons and subjects of which the average pupil is in total ignorance, and for an exjilanation he must seek outside assistance. With the aid of the school-library, he can readily ob¬ tain the desired information Avithout troubling his teacher with his questions and without making a failure for want of knoAvdedge on the subject. Not only do scholars obtain useful infor¬ mation from the library, but, that which is perhajis of more A’alue to them in after life, they learn how to find it. Living in the atmosphere of books is in itself an education. The schol¬ ars, by being accustomed to the use of books, and by having them at hand for consultation at all times, take inucli more interest in good reading than if they Avere obliged to jiatron- ize the town library for all the works to which reference is made in the school-room. The teacher, too, can better imjiress their value iqion tlie scholars, if the books which he rec¬ ommends are Avithin his reach Avhen- ever any incident of the school-room suggests a book wliich treats upon that particular matter. We have no History of Milford. Principal Hill’s Lecture. Many old graduates were glad of the op]tortunity, two AA ' ceks ago, to grasp tlie hand of their former teach¬ er and friend, and listen once again to his genial voice as he related hoAV our grandfathers fought for an education in the “Early Primer Days of Ncav England.” We are sorry to state that an audience of only 68 greeted him fourteen years after leaving Mil¬ ford, but Ave enjoyed a lecture which reminded us of the old fashion¬ ed lyceum. Mrs. Martha (King) Bakeman, ’67, is teaching at the BigeloAv School, Newton. Thomas McDonough, ’73, is one of the leading physicians of Attleboro. Samuel Nelson, ’73, is cornjileting his medical studies in Berlin, Avhere he Avent last July, intending to stay tAvo years.

Both gradua- ted from Harvard University in ’84. Frederick I.

When Harvard first opened its doors it had three students, two col¬ lege seniors and a freshman. In one of l)r. Holmes’ Harvard poems occurs this verse :— “And who were on the catalogue AVhen college was begun? Two nephews of the president And the professor’s son: Lord! how the seniors knocked about The freshman class of one.” —[Argo.
