One evening after school, the Soph- omore class met in Room 25, to dis- cuss who’s who in the class. After a closely contested election, it was de- cided that Wheeler Newton would be our most honorable president, Philena Nelson, vice president; Margaret Em- ish, secretary, and Frank Tedrow. our most trusted treasurer. We only hope they will be able to fulfill our highest hopes. After a very hot argument, pink and white won over all other col- or combinations, as our class colors. The election was ended by a speech from one of our noted orators, Leta Lewis.

16 The Scarlet and Gray If you wait till you know how be- fore you begin, you will wait a long time. Practice is the way to gain skill. It often happens that the one we en- vy most is envying us. Ill habits gather by unseen degrees as brooks make rivers, rivers make seas.—Dryden. Perfect grammar may clothe a vic- ious thought. Beware of little expenses, a small leak will sink a ship.—Franklin. There is no cold cream that will keep away wrinkles, so successfully as the milk of human kindness. Plow deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and keep. The only way to have a friend is to be one.—Emerson. When you play, play hard; when you work don’t play at all.—Roosevelt. Keep your troubles to yourself, put them on an upper shelf. A bad ending follows a bad begin- ning. Be one of the very few, who, a thing to be done, will not trust it to the uncertain tomorrow. Little things are little things, but faithfulness in little things is some- thing great. Lost time is never found again; time enough always proves little enough. None but such as are good men can give good things, and that which is not good is not delicious to a well gov- erned appetite. A wise man cares not for that which he cannot love.
