OAK, LILY AND IVY. 11 Florence Gerry loves her books, But F. Grayson spends his leisure, In admiring ' his looks. Esther Fuller, gay and cheerful, Flitting round from room to room, Quite important, very busy, Always that till crack of doom. Helen Lang’s a studious maiden, Ever digging at her work, I. Doane says “I love my studies, But other pleasures, I’ll not shirk.” Oh! that little (?) chap is “Hilly.” Isn’t he a graceful boy? Watch him move about so swanlike, Fills us with aesthetic joy ! Miss McLoughlin slender maiden ! Basket ball’s her favorite game ; If she grabs you in the struggle, You will never look the same. Jennie Lyons, full of mischief, Ah ! she causes us much grief ! And we hope—and that quite stronglv, That she’ll soon turn o’er a leaf. Phyllis Kimball—the “Man hater.” Always says “you horrid thing! ” But Miss Lynch says Phyll is bluffing, And she knows she’d wear a ring. McNamara and young Dumbell, Ever battling at recess, Yes—their conduct is most shocking, We, as Seniors must confess. Miss Moloney and MissManion, Always quiet and real good, Quite respectful to their elders, As all little children should. Here’s Miss Moylan loudly talking, Raising “Cain” out in the hall, And Miss Maynard’s strong for Senior’s, (Those who aren’t so very tall). You all know the “Miller’s daughter,” Has a good old-fashioned name, And whenever mischief’s brewing, Carolyn is not to blame. ( ?) That small girl is Henrietta, She’s a very quiet miss, And that fellow sitting near her, Is J• Quirk—thinks History bliss. There’s Ruth Ames, the bashful Junior, She’s decided it will pay Not to change her last initial But to always write it “A.” Way down there in that far corner, vSonier sits, our smile beneath, And whenever he gets nervous, Wriggles round and picks his teeth. Myrtle Spencer is romantic, Longs to go upon the stage,

IO OAK, LILY AND IVY. Class IRotes. Miss Mae Curtin, 13, spent the holidays with her brother, at North Alding¬ ton. The H. H. Club held a Christmas Party at the home of Miss Evelyn Ma- cuen, ’13. The Seniors at their recent class meeting, voted to hold a dance in the As¬ sembly Hall of the High School, on January 24. Those Juniors! ! ! “Yes,” replied the learned Senior, To his chum the other day, “We must try to train those Juniors, In the straight and narrow way.” Say, John, you know Leslie Adams, Thin chap with an humble air ? Well, that boy is simply fading Under his huge load of care. Eben Baker, too, is ailing, But it’s not from overwork, Though by that we are not hinting, That his lessons he will shirk. Birmingham and Brothers also, Two young ladies in this class, “Women .Suffrage” strongly favor, Bragg says, “They’ll bring things to pass.” Now Miss Cadwell’s our new Junior, Rather shy, and a true friend ; Marion Cobb’s forever working ; Though Carey’ll not to that descend. Caldicott the budding speaker, Loves to argue proven facts, Talks for forty-five long minutes Till our nerves he sorely racks. Margaret Cochran and Blanche Crockett, Ever ready for a scrap, When from study they get respite, They would like to change our map. Now that young chap there’s Caruso, I “Classy looking guy,” you say ? , Goes in for all sorts of sporting, In the saucy Junior way. But behold ! the perfect Angel, In DeCicco, whose real good ; He returns to get his candv, And he really thinks he should 1 ! ! Antoinette’s a quiet lassie, Margaret Desmond—born Coquette ! And Miss Dillon —ever flirting, Say look out! She’ll get you yet! Fales, a sober sedate fellow, President of this great class, Tries to set a good example, To this restless surging mass. Marie Gaghan’s strong for baseball,

I 2 OAK, LILY AND IVY. And to write a splendid novel, On H. Shultz when she’s of age. Beatrice Newcomb—sedate Junior; Knows the fine points of the game, She’s especially fond of foot-ball, Goes more than do the other dames. Just look here ! If that’s not Johnson, Loyalty has drawn him back, Junior class thought they had lost him, To the West he’s soon to pack. Alma Sweet is their musician, Helen Twitched school enjoys, And Gert Tower’s fond of dancing, Yinnie Woodbury? Horrid noise! Here’s Ralph Ward, the grave young fellow, For himself he’ll make a name. Dorcas Whipple’s fond of joking, And a studious, well bred dame. Harold Whitney and Bruce Warfield, The worst imps in that whole class! Always making a disturbance, Bothering every lad and lass. But, continued the grave Senior, With a sigh that touched my heart, We’re in hopes to plant some knowledge, In that class before we part. Midland League Banquet. The directors of the Midland League, with the faculty directors of athletics from the schools represented, were entertained last evening in the Fram¬ ingham High School at a sumptuous dinner prepared and served in artistic per¬ fection by the young ladies of the domestic science department of that school. After the banquet, Dr. Geo. Hermann Derry, principal of the Milford High School, on behalf ol the directors of the league, delivered the congratulatory ad¬ dress, to which Principal Cushing of Framingham made a genial response. At the annual meeting which ensued, it was voted that henceforth all foot¬ ball officials, referee, umpire and head linesman, shall be selected by the home team; and the maximum salary of such officials, which during the past season has proved a bugbear to financially embarrassed teams, was fixed at a reason¬ able rate by a League regulation. In determining the football championship, the directors decided that, to forestall a recurrence of the Marlboro-Hudson dis¬ pute about the rating of tie-games, the pennant shall be awarded to the school securing the highest percentage of victories, tie games to count as contests played but not won ; between two teams still tied on this computation, the hon-
