llllIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIQI' THE The Class of '25 Mr. Sam Ewart of New York City, quite a distinguished attorney, was stopped on the street by a beggar, 'who asked him for a dime to get some- thing' to eat. Mr. Ewart started to hand him a coin. He recognized him as an old schoolmate. Why, Royfl he said, ' what are you doing here in New York, and what are you dbin f in those rags? Oh said Roy I am just a Weary Willie orr what you might call a tramp I started out to see the world and have pretty near succeeded. . Well of all thinvs you come with me said Sam. Sam took Roy to his home which was a very fine one and after he had ,given him all he could eat they sat down to talk over their Old Schooldays . Sam was very much interested and demanded that Roy tell him about all his travels and how he came to pick such a life Well bam you see after we left hi h school I started to tray el around '1 ittle with Hugh Ruk aber. Hugh soon lett me and went home but I de- cided to keep it up for a while. And then the first thing I knew that was all I could do. In my wanderings I have been in most every land on the earth I have run accross a uood many of our clfissimates scattered here and there. . I suppose you remember the summer we worked at West Burling,t . About a month ago I went back there to get a job and you can t guess whom I saw Berry Black is now foreman of the blacksmith shops and Mark L sleuth has taken the place of Henry as president of the shops. Go on Roy tell me about everyone th-it you have met beciuse I have not seen nor heard tell of any of the class since Iileft iway. Xmong them was Deacon.

llllll IIIIUIIIYYI vllILi.i lQiTilYllII Ill IIIIUIIII v Our Daily Dozen The Wyse'l one suggested that we should take a ride in his Schaefer our health. Ca1'l,son of the banker, said we would have to take it to the Smith and get it repaired or we would get thrown over at Craig J ack, son of the grocer said he did not care to Liv-er-more g if he did get hurt, none would mourn him. We finally, after much difficulty, succeeded in get- ting Mandy harnessed, but had to Walk-er to the shop. The Smith said the shay was not fit to throw in the Coles , much less to repair. Neverthe- less, he hoisted it up with a Crane and soon had it fixed. We met 'Thom-as we returned home. He was carrying a new whip and asked to drive, for he said, 'Whip-ple' make that horse gof' -Charles Kellems. JOY AND SADNESS A myriad twinkling snorvvflakes, A host of diamonds rare, Glittered and flashed and sparkled In the frosty winter air. A breath of summer wafted Over this shining plain, And diamonds turned to teardrops, And teardrops into rain. My heart grew sad and weary And seemed with grief oppressed, But summer and her beauty Soon set my hea.rt at rest. -Margaret Rommel. AN UNPREPARED LESSON V' Am I marching to my doom? The gallow seem not very far ahead. What shall I db? I do not have my lessons and it is time for class. I have a vague hope that I will not be called on to recite. Can this hope be realized? ' Only five more minutes of suspense. Then my fate will be pro- nounced. How slowly the hands of the clock move! At last the gong sounds. Luck was with me for once and I am found NOT GUILTY. --Catherine Weston. ll I llll llll llllll llllllllll llllll lllllllillll ll Ill lllll
