July 24, 1807, he married Isabella R., daughter of Cyrus Noyes of Milford. He also adds that Miss Mary E. Torrey, associated with him here, and now the wife of Rev.

We hope that the parents of the pui)ils will see to it that they are represented creditably April 1 and 2. Exchanges attention! we are not “The Oak, Lillie and Joy.” Teacher to lazy boy : “You can do that example b} application.” Lazy boy : “Please tell me what you mean by that?” We extend our sympathy to one of our personal editors who has been ill a fortnight. Teacher: “What do we have, com¬ ing every four years as the Greek fes¬ tivals did ?” To the chagrin of the young ladies, a young man promptly answers, “Leap Year.” Wanted:—Good price paid for the right article.—An incentive to urge the delinquent young men in school to contribute to the exhibition. Agassiz, the teacher, and Mann, the educator, now look down from our walls ami encourage us by their exam¬ ples to better work. These two pict ures make onr number 21. Michael Amos is anew division of the calendar, just made by one of the scholars, happily, not of the First class. Teacher, reading to his pupils, comes across the word log and asks the mean¬ ing. Answer:—“Well, I don’t exactly remember, but I think a log must be a shi]).” A young gentleman startled the class with the announc nnent that one of Henry Eighth’s wives died after be¬ ing; beheaded. The pumping method to draw ont the meaning of manikin.—What one word means a little cat? “Catkin oi kitten.” Well, what might a man call his little son? “A kitten.” The cerebrum is now given a rest.

It is our intention to furnish our patrons, however, with a better and higher than second class. Editorial. At the suggestion of oiiv principal the twenty-seven members of the sen¬ ior class selected and wrote on fine gilt-edge correspondence cards quota¬ tions from Oliver Wendell Holmes, which, although tvritteii for other oc¬ casions and persons, were compliment¬ ary to him. On the opposite side of the cards were the names of the schol¬ ars who tvrote the quotations. A title page was printed with a pen in rustic and ornamental letters arranged as follows: S ¥oker} of SppTediktiop — TO — Oliver Jaimes, — FROM THE — CXiA-SS 0:F ’85. Milford High School, Massachusetts. Another card, as below, was the finis. MOTTO: Strength , — — Purity , — — Tenacity, COLORS: BXjTJ ' S A.iT= 3-OI-.D. Two other cards were added as covers and then all were punclied with two holes on the left hand edge and the covers with two additional holes on the right. Through these were passed narrow Avhite ribbons which were tied in bows. Under the white, and around the cards in the opposite direction, was drawn a broad blue rib¬ bon and upon this one of old gold, narrower and shorter. The long ends of each were fringed, and we hope we shall be pardoned for our egotism if we say, the effect of the Avhole was very ])retty and satisfactory. The book Avas expressed to the Pro¬ fessor Avith a file of the “ O. L. and I.,” a card containing statistics of the school and another asking his acceiit- ance of the tribute. As an ansAver our principal has received the folloAving autograjih letter Avhich Ave propose to frame with a mat appropriately orna¬ mented and hang upon our school¬ room walls. Boston, Feb. 2Sth, 188.5. Ma Dear Sir : I have received the beautiful tribute of your scholars with feelings of gratitude, and I fear with something of pride. To be so honored by such a group of un¬ known friends is a very flattering distinc¬ tion. My own words which I read in these fair pages, never pleased so much as they do here, chosen as tliey have been by scholars who haA ' e shoAA’n, as it seems to me, both care and taste in their selection. Please thank them.all most heartily, in my name, and believe me Very truly yours and theirs, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Industrial Exhibition. We shall open our doors Wednes¬ day, April 1, at 3 o’clock p. m., and close Thursday evening, Avhen, Ave trust, no one can be found so lost to a sense of duty and to the advantages offered as to say—“Alas! I visited them notP We need not lu ' ge your presence for we knoAV that Avhere your hearts are there Avill you be also. Our experi¬ ence last year, 906 visitors in six hours, makes an urgent invitation un¬ necessary. Confidentially, between yourselves and ourselves, Ave hope to re-seat the large school-room. In place of a “multitudinous variety” of desks and chairs, Ave hope to substitute the latest result of “scientific invention.” The folloAving invitation Avill be sent to some of the neighboring prin¬ cipals, siqierintendents and members of the Board of Education. You are requested to be present THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1885, AT TtIK Milford High Schooi Building, to witness the Second Annual Industrial Exhibition, OK THK scholars of the high school, and also a Display of the Work of the Grammar and Frimarv Grades in Composition, Number, Geoffraphy, Wiiting and Drawing.

The School Directory. The last column of the school direc¬ tory, AAdiich Avas opened in 1867 by Principal Clarke and is still in use, is devoted to “ Remarks,” and would cause a flood of old memories to SAveep over the alumni could they run their eyes over the laconic summaries. We find the folloAving: “Joined the army,” “unqualified,” “at the head of her class,” “put out,” “graduated Avith honoi-,” “susjiended,” “ran aAvay,” “died,” “normal school,” “death of father,” “enlisted for the Avar,” “a noble girl,” “naval cadet,” “Harvard Avith lumor,” “shaken,” “excellent scholar,” “ Exeter,” “ coinmei-cial school,” “led ms class,” “Erieud’s school,” “mutineer,” etc.
