ing the animals feed I wonder how many h I l . y ours siould have to work off for su l c 1 an eseapade? I am now in the Hrst elassg in a few months I sl ll ' I ia receive my diploma say farewell to tl ' ' ' , ie companions with whom I have lived so long, and go forth into the big, wide world. There has been much in my life here against which I have re- belled and ehafed, and I have many times longed to be free, but now that freedom has come, I shrink from it, and feel very near and dear to my Alma Mater. The world seems so cold, so wide and drear, and I wonder Wfill we ind shelter there secure W7here hearts are waiting, strong and sure, And love is true when tried? Or will we ind a broken reed IVhen strength of heart we so much need To help us brave the tide? Only the future can tell-only He, who holds us in the hollow of I-Ii l d I s ian , can 'know what awaits each one of us, but I know that sweet memories and tender thoughts of our Alma M t ' f 'll ' ' ' g a ei XV1 ever linger in our hearts. Then Here's to Miller School forever! Peerless may she beg Time nor change shall sever Our love and loyalty. M55 gl l fai ' Q i' NSD ,ff AQ ' r f 1 :FX X L fyrshg QA tl, Gerd, Ms, 43 fi ,Tm I, as I.

Do we never get caught? We do indeed! Hardly a day but- One more unfortunate Caught in the act, Smiling at boys again- That is a fact. Deal with her tenderly, Don't tell her name, Remember when you were young, You did the same. I have heard that the word smiles is the longest in the English language, because there is a mile between the first and last letters. I think it must also be the most costly, for many a highly-polished spot on the hall floor and many an aching back testify to the fact that one must pay dearly for the smile. But-it ls mighty nice! What a pity so many nice things are naughty! I am not one of the very 'good girls, but then I am not very bad-just A' mejumf' as Josiah Allen's wife would say-and so I have managed to go up a class each year. Qne of our trials is being so constantly attended. Wfe scarcely move with- out a teacher or a matron. Teachers to the right of them, teachers to the left of them, and if they do not actually volley and thunder,H they mark and report, which is practically the same thing. Cf course, I don't think I deserve marks. Does any girl ever think so? Even the goody-goodies U don't think that. It does seem hard to have to stay in and work all Monday afternoon, because instead of singing in Mrs. W.'s class, I wrote a note to a boy, and the boy didn't get the note either-Miss M- got it. And oh, the bells! Poe's bells are nothing to them! But it 's lots of fun after study hall to telegraph down the bell rope. You see the boys and girls are all thirsty-not for knowledge, however-so they flock to the belfry-the boys down- stairs and the girls up-stairs-and by a series of gentle pulls and shakes, a great deal of valuable information may be communicated. But what shall I say more? Time would fail me to tell of the events of each year, though they seemed monotonous enough. Chestnut day was always a red- letter day, looked forward to and enjoyed to the utmost. VVhat fun to run in the woods and search under the leaves for the pretty brown nuts, to come home to a late dinner and spend the evening roasting nuts and telling tales! Visitors always irritated me. They had such a way of seeming to think we were blocks. I 've no doubt some of us were blockheads, but they would come in and look at us and say, N Arn't they cute? just see their dear little blue dresses -V-and they pompadour their hair too! H I always had an insane desire to rise up in the Clllllllg-1'OO1T1 and dance when I saw the visitors crowd around the door, watch- 42 .
