We have collected in this book the records of the doings of the Class of February, 1918, so that in after vears they might recall pleasant memories. HENRY KONOWITZ, Chairman, MURIEL BRODERICK, MARY ROGERS, EDMUND WINTERBOTTOM, HILARY SWENSON, Class Book Committee. History of the Class of February, 1918 Very early one cold morning in February, just four years ago, when the lazy Seniors and sleepy Juniors were just about to rise from their beds, two hundred thirty-one little ‘‘Freshies,’’ the latest product of the grammar schools, were seen scurrying around in the lower corridors of dear old N. B. H. 8. in a vain effort to locate the Auditorium. This was the nucleus of the brilliant class of February, 1918 which is now about to graduate. But what changes have been wrought since then! At that time the girls were most becoming in pigtails and big pink and blue bows, while the boys strove to look manly in knee pants. How inviting were the banisters! How we delighted in sliding through the slppery corridors! And how the novelty wore off as the punishment was laid on! Shortly after our entrance into school, we were tendered a reception by the Senior Class, just to make us better acquainted with the school and our teachers. The memory of this pretty social long lived in our minds and we tried very hard to follow the advice which the Seniors who had ‘‘been through the mill’’ so kindly gave us. The rest of our Freshman year passed like most Freshman years do. We were constantly in trouble, owing to our ‘‘freshness’’ and were exceed- ingly grateful when, ‘‘like angels’ visits, few and far between,’’ vacation came, and we were Sophomores! The Sophomore and Junior years were mostly spent in teaching and teasing ‘‘freshies’’. We soon showed our proficiency in dancing and began to grace the cadet dances and ‘‘Pops’’ with our worthy presence. These years saw us initiated into the various school activities and now most every one belongs to some organization or other. We have a splendid represen- tation in Athletics, Cadets, both Glee Clubs, the Bird Club and the Debat- ing Society. | First along, we had considerable difficulty in electing the right officers for the class but this was remedied in our Junior year and now the following hold office : ERNEST DESCHENES—President. FANNIE YATES—Vicee-President. GORDON’ WHITAKER—Seecretary. MILTON PARKER—Treasurer. By far the most interesting year was the Senior year. Then came the Freshman Reception, when we all did our best to create a noble and digni- fied impression upon the youthful Freshmen. Our Prom was attended by unusual difficulties but nevertheless was successful. ne Our Class Play was a ‘“‘howling success’’ we all agree. The returns proved a great addition to the treasury and much eredit is due to the per- formers who did indeed nobly well. By the end of the Senior year the sifting process had reduced us to seventy-s1x in number, sixty-four of whom are members of the original class, the other twelve having joined later, deeming the class worthy of them. We have indeed spent a happy four years together, and looking back we see that ‘‘we have done those things which we ought not to have done, and left undone those things which we ought to have done’’, but here we are on the threshold of a greater and nobler existence, as it were. Let us strive to do each day’s nearest duties and in these stirring times let us be of service and assistance to the many who need it. Chester Ulewich who left our class this very year has shown the patriotic spirit of the class by joining Uncle Sam’s forces. Let us not lag in doing our bit to help in any way possible, that so we may be a credit to ourselves, our school, and our country. FANNIE YATES, Class Historian.

And sure as sunshine follows show’rs, Success will follow sure. 31 Class Prophecy of the Graduating Class of February, 1918 Oh Esther Murray, tell to me The futures of my friends By second sight and clairvoyancy Now that their school-time ends. ““ Ah well,’’ quoth she, ‘‘a draught you’ll need To bring upon you sleep As Rip Van Winkle had of old, A slumber long and deep. Put bright new silver in my hand And you shall have that dream And you shall see that brilliant band, Led by my magic gleam.”’ I drank the cup she handed me And soon in slumber fell; A vision rose from bended knee And struck a krazen bell. A scene arose before my eyes—- It was O’Leary Square. ‘ Duke’’ Deschenes was selling pies; Elizabeth Powers was there. Across the square from Thomas Dibb’s T heard a mirthful holler, A Paine caused me to shake my ribs, He was falling through his collar. I read upon a billboard bright A liniment for all pain— T would lower weight, ’twould increase height, And made by Daniel Lane. The best of teachers is Mary Gifford; She is a cooking teacher. How to plank steaks on a board, This is her leading feature. Irma Cook, with a Red Cross cap, Just like in the book, A tabby eat she holds on her lap, T would make any man look. Annie Christian, true to her name, Is a Y. W. secretary. Her name, indeed, has risen to fame, In that she makes all merry. Roland Auger is addressed as ‘‘ His Honor,’’ A ponderous judge is he. 32 He sentences those who stand on Browne’s corner To jail or pay a large fee.

One day in June, as I passed by, Said Sadye to Leah Cohen, “You talk so much of shoes, I now see why You couldn’t be salutatorian.’’ Misses Leighton and Metealf in congress we find, In chairs once held by men, Both of the Jeannette Rankin kind In speech as well as pen. The poet says ‘‘they serve who wait—’’ They also ‘‘love’’ who ‘‘serve.’’ Miss Davis plays the ‘‘deuce’’ with fate, In tennis she does not swerve. Edith Johnson, her work has found To aid the poor and needy. As a social worker covers much ground, And relief is quick and speedy. A woman fine is Bertha Mendoza; Be it known to all mankind, I’m told has had many a proposer, But has left them all behind. On Sargent Field, while at the game, I saw a host of cars; The drivers to the bleachers came Smoking Swenson’s Prime Cigars. Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark! Girl Scouts have come to town! Eleanor Hammond is on a lark To do all things up brown. An office of state has Nellie Daniels, The navy sec.—you know. She knows the bays and straits and channels Like dear old Uncle Joe. Misses Bartholo, Ritchie and Whitney, Overwhelmed by tempestuous weather, Sought refuge at once in a jitney, And rode off in the rain altogether. Elsie MacQuarrie and Mabel E. Stone, They both have very hard names, Have recently invented a new razor hone; It is sold by Sylvia James. Roger Almy is now a surveyor, He takes in all at a glance; In winter time he’s a food purveyor And he wears MacMillan pants. Alice Peters, a bashful maid, Far removed from frivolity, Her artistic senses never fade, ‘‘High as the Alps in quality. Fannie Yates to the ladder of fate has clung, A manager is Miss Yates. 9 33 And when the celestial banners are flung She will manage the Golden Gates. Willis Sherman deserves a hand, His acting is sublime— He plays first horn in the cornet band And with his feet beats time. A fine old scout is Joseph Phelan, Who billowy whiskers grew, Through which, when Joseph went a-whalin’. The zephyrs gently blew. Winterbottom, Edmund, legislator, A member of the bar, In youth he was a strong debater, Hark! Hear that sonorous R-R-R. A woman wise is Dora Wishnietzky, She runs a store complete. The store is called ‘‘The Five and Tensky, She keeps it very neat. Hyman Queen, the boy wonder, A German shark was he, He seldom ever made a blunder, (The teacher could see.) Edna Andrews, a public speaker, Who always a large crowd draws, Although her voice couldn’t be weaker, She brings forth loud applause. Gordon Whitaker, a strapping man, For years was gone away. ‘He now returns whene’er he can And quickly wastes his pay. Fiorence Parkins upon the screen In s ociety dress appears; In tragic parts she may be seen, And moves her audience to tears. Muriel Broderick, a student grave, She works for General Crowder.

Edmund Cody, our prophet fine, Will at first be a preacher divine, He will preach fine doctrines of Bible lore And to him for advice all the people will pour.

The last news I heard of his doings bold, Was the story an old man to me told. Tiring of preaching and dentistry too, He closed his office and began life anew. HELEN E. HUGHES.
