NORFOLK, NEB.. JUNE 14, 1889. NO. I. SR V_VJT P T OR . •—. i‘ 3 5=?— By cureful examination the reader will observe that the name of this publication is The Milestone, and that this is the first issue of the sattie. It is a class book, published by the Class of ’89, and contains such items as we think mav interest our friends and us, both now and in the future. In thrusting The Milestone upon the public’tis without apologies or promises. The only excuses we might offer, are: First, we wish to establish the custom of the Seniors annually issuing a class book, which will be the means of keeping the alumni united in sympathy, interested in the Alma Mater, and posted regarding the changes, progress, and growth of the high school; second, we wanted to try our hands at journalism. The Milestone is not a money-making scheme—money is no object. With this issue we present it to the public; with this issue we retire from its editorial management. To the Class of’90 we entrust its immediate future, and hope that, year by year, it may he improved and given over to succeeding classes for further improvement. Each commencement week for many years may The Milestone go forth to the alumni in all parts of the country, a messenger of “glad tidings of great joy.” Unlike many journalists, we leave no liabilities for our successors to assume nor accounts for them to collect. We have no subscription list; hence, no delinquent subscribers. Our methods have been business-like; hence, our happy financial condition. To the business men of Norfolk, who have patronized us so liberally, thus enabling us to publish this book, we tender our sincer-est thanks. To the high school and those associated with it we bid an affectionate good bye; but we assure you that there shall be with you ever the sympathy, hope, and good will of THE CLASS OF ’S3.

We can easily give our love and reverence to such rarities. It is the nature of woman to worship something above her; something good, something great, something so far above her that she must level the “critical telescope” at the great luminary before she can comprehend what manner of being it is. I am a worshiper—an intermittent worshiper. if you please—of saints; but I have an ineradicable belief in the common, every-day women—those heroines “shy ami quiet, sitting in corners until needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the little sacrifices till the cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sun-shinv presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.” There is not a girl in America who has not “hitched her wagon to a star.” That is right. If you have resolved to be great, stick to vour resolution, and do not weakly try to compromise by loitering on the corner where the streets of Bye-and-Bve and Never meet. “If you have the abilities of all the great men, past and present, you could do nothing well without sincerely meaning it and setting about it.” It would be well if all would adopt the motto of David C'opperfield: “Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I too have devoted myself to completely. In great things ami in small, I have, too, been thoroughly in earnest.” This is the rule which the truly great follow, the rule which made them what they are, and the one which can make us all we hope to be. Of all the truly great persons I can think of, the greater portion were once poor, ignorant, but thirsting for the waters of the Pierian 12. spring. We can never improve if we have no model hut ourselves to follow. So. we may learn much that is good from the lives ol others, especially from the lives of good women. It is the real, practical, every-dav life that chiefly moulds our nature, enables us to work out our own education, and to build up our own character. Those who live in our daily sight, as well as those who have handed down illustrious names for our emulation, are the most valuable, practical teachers. If you will inspect the lives of a few, you can not fail to notice that their success is due as much to zeal as to ability. When Mr. Frank Leslie died, he left a pretty, petted wife, whose only dowry was a poor magazine, much in debt. u know what she is now, the manager of some ten magazines, who has redeemed her husband’s bankrupt business from an enormous debt, and placed herself as a recognized leader in all circles. How did she do it? By doing whatever she did, the best she could, taking the duty lving nearest, and, putting the flame of resolution to her soul, she kindled a fire which only death can extinguish. Determination is omnipotent. Persistency will not he baffled or discouraged by opposition. Look at her, oh ye men! who solemnly predict a modern Minerva, a female suffrage advocate, striking terror to all hearts, or the reform-dressed, unlovable being, if woman is allowed to fit herself for a business career. Does she call to mmd any such being? But we are not Mrs. Frank Leslies—more’s the pity__we are girls, but we can every one be a heroine in our own small way. Remember, it is not the world’s applause and commendation which makes us great. As the world grows better and wiser, woman’s sphere” is widening. There was a time when the only trades a woman could follow and be “respectable”, were dress-making, millinery and teaching. Now times are changed. Almost every door is thrown open and woman is entreated to enter. Does she not deserve it? Look in all directions. You will find woman ranking as high, and often higher, than her brother. Come with me and take a bird’s-eye view of the woman of today. In our own country we now enjoy nearly all the privileges formerly granted only to her brothers. We are classed with young men in college, and compete with man in the marts of trade. One of the most noted of all astronomers is Miss Maria Mitchell, professor of astronomy in Yassar College. Her discoveries are equal to those made by any man of her time. She.is a fine teacher, an excellent woman, and ranks high among the scientists of to-dav. Miss Marv Lvon is the founder of the Mount Holyoke system of education, conceded by all to he the best now practiced. If you would have an example of indomitable energy and perseverance, you must read her life. When her thoughts first matured, tliev were scoffed at by the public; she proposed to found a college for a poor class of girls. She has won, and today stands first among educators. Kinina Abbott, Gherster and Adelina Patti are gifted women. Their talents alone did not give them their present fame. Emma Abbott sold her beautiful hair that she might take her first lesson in music. What modern painter has acquired a more deserved renown than Kosa Bonheur? Her beautiful landscapes and life like pictures of animals, place her on a level with any artist of recent time. In sculpture, we find few women. This is to be expected, for the heavy implements used do not seem adapted to woman’s delicate physique. Notwithstanding all this, Harriet Hosmer has demonstrated what an American woman can do in marble and stone And when you ask for a business woman you can find them in vour own city. Of late, women are being appointed postmasters, mayors and eouncilmen. There is nothing she has attempted and failed except to be president and vote for herself. That seems to be a very trivial matter to me; when the time comes, woman will enjoy equal suffrage with her brother. We can wait for that time. These examples of illustrious women show what has been done. Now what, may she do with advantages her elder sister had not? The solution of that problem rests, in a very great measure, upon US)__the school girls of this and other countries. We have “a new and unattempted problem to solve, perchance of the happiest nature that ever bloomed.” Although not always true, I think the slightly paraphrased motto, “What woman has done, woman can do,” holds good. But Oh! don’t be content with doing “what woman has done.' L)o all she has done an l do what she has ne er done. No man, no woman lives or lias lived, who can ever begin to guess his or her untried capacity. It is immeasurable as the universe. Trust it as you trust God, and launch yourself unflinchingly upon its vast possibilities.” The past is our inheritance; the future our birthright, to use as we will. Put it out at good, sure, paying interest, and build up our capital still more. With an in- 14. tellect, mind and heart., cultivated to an extent demanded by the present opportunities of our day and country, brought within the reach of almost everyone; with the stores of learning that may he acquired, added to the natural endowment of woman’s quicker perceptive power; with tact, talent, fortitude, energy and patience, and an open door of usefulness on every hand in the family and social circles; in the schoolroom and missionary field; in the hospital, store-room and counting-house; with the printer s stick, and in the editor’s chair; in the telegraph office, in the pursuit of fine arts, on the musical instrument;” with the painter’s pallet and sculptor’s chisel; with the author’s pen and gifted thought, it is proper to enquire, “What can’t she do?” “Let the maiden, with erect soul, walk serenely on her way, accept the hint of each new experience, try in turn all the gifts God offers her, that she may learn the power and the charm, her newborn being is.” She who repels interference by a proud choice of influences, who is careless but pleasing, is willful but lofty, inspires with her own nobility. “O friend, never strike sail to a fear. Come into port greatly, or sail with God the seas. Not in vain you live, for every passing eye is cheered and refined by the vision. Edith Hays. FOR MWLUE RECEW1ED Promise Vo Pay. Words are inadequate and language powerless to express our indebtedness for wliat we are. Since we sprang into existence, we have been hut cumberers—always receiving assistance but rendering none. Then what can we say or how repay those who have guided us through this state of helplessness? We owe more than we ever can repay to our kind, patient, enduring parents, who have watched and cared for us through all stages of our dependence, provided for our every want through all tin- vicissitudes of their fortunes. It mattered not what lot befell them, whether blessings or woe, joy or sorrow; their first thought was of us. Many times the storm-tried vessel creaked, swayed, and tossed to and fro; destruction seeming almost inevitable; but the hands at tin wheel remained steady, the cheek unblanched, till their precious-laden craft reached a port. In our youth we have shared like privileges. The rich, the poor, the weak, the strong, male and female, have had the same linn restraint so necessary to youthful lives, the same wise counsel, the same unalienating interest. We have had ample opportunity to garner up rich stores of knowledge that would serve us in future usefulness; and well do we know that this is the golden key, that unlocks the treasure-houses of the world, and. as it were, opens wide the toll-gates along the road to honor and greatness. We have learned too, that without labor there is no knowledge gained and that diligence is the price of success. Our preceptors have been spending these years in moulding our natures into character and fitting our minds to be the rulers of our 1«. Bodies. Till! impressions they have made both by precepts and examples will be as lasting as our lives themselves, and. it' obeyed, will carry us beyond into a blissful Kternity. First of all, we wens endowed by our (treat Benefactor with sensibilities, intellects, and wills; and by virtue of these faculties, man is master of all lod’s creatures. None are capable of so high {V state of culture. ()ur teachers and parents, through our sensibilities, have developed our intellects and wills, and can'd for us during the period when the little shoots of character were yet unable to battle with the storms of life. Thus far have we gone; and now as we are about to assume responsibilities of our own, we can hut promise to pay, at some future time, the value we have received. We have a joint obligation with (Sod, our parents, our country, and society. You ask why we are indebted to our country. Are not my sister-classmates and I debtors for the intellectual freedom we as women can enjoy? Let us rejoice that we live in these closing years of the nineteenth century. Traditions nor chains of custom no longer bind us. All avenues are open to us and we can pass hand in hand with our brother classmate through all the gates ol higher learning. Our hearts are full of gratitude, but thin shall not be our mthj ottering. How faithful we are to our promise let the future disclose. Though we may not reach the uppermost rounds of the ladder of fame, our efforts shall Ik unalmting. By doing what good we can. we shall forge a glittering chain on which to string the pearls, whose soft pure light shall belt our world like a spiritual equator. Could we but look into the future and read its pages we should probably see engraved in golden letters the achievments of the class of’Si). We might read the career of the musician. In hci we possess a voting lady of rare musical talents and already the touch of her “magical” fingers thrills us with pleasure. Mozart can hardly excel her in the imitation of a storm. And what is more charming than “Hock a bye Baby” rendered by her. She may travel through (iermany and Italy cultivating and enriching her talents; and in time we shall see 1� r nn� � heading the list of the great musicians of our country. Another member may attend the state university and graduate with honor and distinction. Having also acquired a knowledge of book-keeping and short-band, thus quieting her old passion 17. for Geometry, slu will accept a position as book-keeper with a prominent business house in the great city of of Norfolk and make herself a thoroughly good businesswoman. She, like most noted people, commences at the bottom approaching the summit gradually. On 1 icr way she does not forget the interest of her sex but travels here and there on Temperance and “Woman Suffrage.” In after years we see her name too inscribed among those of the ( rent women of A merica. Then what may we expect of the central figure of our group? This young gentleman wields the pen with alacrity and becomes a prominent literary man after graduating in Harvard. Society is astonished and overjoyed by the magazine he presents to her view. It even excels the Century, Scribners, Harpers or any noted magazine of the times. Imagine our pride and pleasure on receiving the first copy of the “Golden Age” edited by our talented classmate. A fourth member of this‘distinguished” class was very much admired by us for her love of literature. When we were studying literature, it was she who could always interest us with little bits of biography,—such as the story of George Washington and his little hatchet and all that. Such incidents as these impressed on our minds that she (our classmate) was remarkably talented as well as to render it almost impossible for us to forget the noted person of whom she spoke. Often were our emotions over-wrought by her efforts in elocution. Nor shall her passion for oratory cease with her school days. Her charming beauty and queenly manners will aid her grandly in her profession—elocution. In the early part of the 20th century we shall witness her accept the professorship of elocution in one of oar leading colleges. Oh! Tis true many lovers may kneel at her feet but she will turn proudly away from all. saying. matrimony is not her calling. Now may we not read too of another but by no means least of the pentagon? The profession of ped-a-gogy has already overtaken this stately biped. But becoming restless in so meek a station in life she wishes to take up the study of law. As will be remembered by her old schoolmates, she was a worshipes of oratory. Her love for public speaking she could not repress in her youth, but in after vears by stimulated efforts and a little practice, she overcame the love but not the difficulty. However she will become a lawyer. IK- Il) many instances (when the evidence is on her side) she will prove ra'u convincing in her argument both to judge and jury. Of course these conjectures as to the future of the individual members of this class may fall wide'of the mark. I intend that they shall. The future, even tomorrow, is a blank mystery, and we know not what a day will bring forth. We can only say here in the presence of friends, schoolmates, teachers and parents, you have given unto us bountifully, and we promise to pay, day by day, in our different lines of work, with various commodities, the (nil measure of our debt. If vve render unto the generation that shall rise around us gifts like those that have been given us, live upright, Christian lives, improve our God-given faculities, and in every way be useful men and women, we shall then be balancing our account of so long standing. Tomorrow the first installment becomes due. Tomorrow we go forth to exert an influence on the world, and to commence rendering unto others what has long been given us. Oh, thou tomorrow! Mystery! Oh day that ever runs before! What has thy hidden hand in store For mine, tomorrow, What hast thou In store to make me bear the now? Oh day in which we shall forget The tangled troubles of today. Oh, day that laughs at duns, at debts, Oh day of promises to pay ! Oh shelter from all present storm! Oh, day in which we shall reform Oh, safest, best day of reform ! Convenient day of promises! Hold back the shadow of the storm, Oh, blest tomorrow! Ohiefest friend, Let not thy mystery be less Hut lead us blindfolded to the end “ - T El 3dS S - hitewash is white. It is nm lt of linu , glue, isinglass and water. The lime is produced from various alkaline earths, and its symbol is (’a O. The glue is put in to make it stick. Whitewash is not always pure, though, and many deceptions are imposed on the unsuspecting public. Whitewash is very useful. It is used on houses to stop up the cracks in the ceiling and to cover up old walls and rotten looking places. Ladies use it to cover up the dirt on their faces sometimes, hut they don’t call it whitewash. What they use is “Miraculous Radiant Complexion Beaut ifier” or something like that. Men put whitewash on trees to keep the hugs off, and merchants use a species of whitewash when they try to sell a secondhand coat for a new one. Tom Sawyer put it on his aunt Polly’s fence. Tom didn't like to whitewash much so he traded off chances to boys who did, for apple cores and dead rats with strings tied to their tails to swing them hv. This little incident illustrates the two kinds of whitewash most commonly used; the kind put on the fence, and the kind Tom used on the hoys. People don’t whitewash fences much now; they whitewash each other. We all believe we are very wise, but wise as we are, strange to say, an article marked twenty-three-and-a-half cents will touch our 20. pocket-books much sooner than one marked twenty, and all because it xomills so cheap. What is more attractive to the masculine mind than the wheels of fortune at our county fairs; those wonderful striking machines, where men work so hard and pay for it at a “nicklc a knock, or three for a dime;” or to throw at a row of little rag babies set up on a pole? But we must not blame them, a ball is always at home in a man’s hand and the rag .dolls do look m cute in their gay colored dresses. These days, every one, even the ladies can afford to sport a cane; they are not the costly things of the days gone by. Each little village supports its cane stand and that old familiar erv, “the cane you ring, the cane you get” still brings its train of eager followers. The cane season and ice-cream season advance band in hand; that season of joy and and sadness to man and maiden. She takes tin ice-cream and is happy, he takes the cane, if he be an expert thrower, and sadly pays for both. Still the gentlemen can’t imagine why a girl will insist upon saying she “wouldn’t la a man for anything.” (iirls know a good thing when they have it. As we step over the threshold of this brilliant nineteenth century into that great unknown twentieth, we cast a hasty reviewing glance over our shoulder, and seeing the mighty works of great minds past and present; the iron bauds spanning our continent from ocean to ocean; our cities glittering with myriad lights like the castles of fairv-land. we, proud in our strength ami wisdom say, “Behold the fruit of our industry and genius, who of the earth is greater than we?” Well may we be proud of our nation—is it not a glorious one? I)o we believe the awful predictions of those who go about the country croaking that the destruction of our republic is at hand; that our structure of liberty is rotten to the core; that we are the deepest of political conspirators,a favored few in power that are “pulling wool” over our eyes? In other words we are being badly whitewashed? There is not a shout sent up by an anarchistic mob on this side of the Atlantic but it is echoed o’er mountain and valley, o’er plain and hill on the other. There is not a conflagration kindled bv the ruthless band of violence, but its flame glares with a twice crimsoned hue, overall Europe from horizon to horizon. To these 2!. monarch point their finders and call them the out-growths of republicanism and claim for themselves and their heirs the duty of extending the domain of despotism. Vet we, in our confidence, quietly fold our arms and cast looks of scorn on these idle warning Wt’ are strongly established. We defy all. Why, the republican party is in power. Benjamin Harrison, who had a grand-lather called “Tippecanoe,” occupies the presidential chair. James b- Blaine still lives. Grover Cleveland has resumed his fishing and tin dear people are happy. To be sure the Tariff question remains unsettled, and the “Surplus in the Treasury” problem is still unsolved; but one must remember these things take time. People in general are thinking about these great questions, but, as George Idiot savs, “If you could make a puddin’ bv thinkin’ o’ tin batter, ’twould be easy gettin’ dinner.” 1 is men of action that are needed. Every pilot can steer a ship in calm waters, but let the storm break, then we look to the strong arm, the clear head, the steady hand to guide the vessel through tin gale. Our schools are tlie best equipped in the world. We firndv believe that education, the foundation of liberty, is deeply laid. e must remember however, that millions each year are pouring in upon us from the slums of monarchy on the other side of the world. For them too we must supply opportunity, them too we must guard and teach the watchwords of freedom. Our danger is not alone from without, but within also. What of our colored population, for whose release we gave so many precious lives? “() they are only‘niggers,’” you say. Yes “niggers” with votes and souls and hearts. Tis the little worm of ignorance that will eat our vitals out, A government like ours is the worst in the world to trust to a vicious and degraded people. In a republic ignorance is a crime. The Greeks were wise. They bad learning, art, and culture of tbe highest order. Who has not read with keenest interest and endless delight their beautiful mythology? As our eyes scan tin pages, we seem to see in reality, Eos, child of the Dawn, rise, golden-fingered, golden-throned, at the appointed hour from Ocean’s bed, flushing by her smiles, the eastern sky to a rosy hue. And Helios, our sun-god, awakening from his gorgeous palace in the east and making ready for his journey through the skies. See, from dewy pastures in tin infinite meadows of heaven, he calls 22. his beautiful milk-white steeds, and wreathes their manes with sunbeams, while the gay, dancing hours harness them to his glowing sun-ear. Up and up they plunge; steadily now they climb through all the long, long day, dispelling darkness and tilling with sunshine the homes and hearts of the children of men. Night is coming, tin chariot sinks and sinks, softly into the golden cup floating in the western Ocean stream; clouds wrap it gently about and it is borne silently and unseen, back to the glorious palace in the east. Darkness again! Shall no light guide the poor earth wanderer through the night? In the east, pale Selene, godess of the moon appears. How steadily her silver chariot moves! The raven steeds arch their necks and smoothly pace beneath the guidance of her gentle hand; the vapor of their warm breath falls on us in glistening crystals of dew; we see the radiance in fair Selene’s eyes, as she seems softly to say “Sleep on mv children, peace and rest be with you, no danger shall come nigh you, I am watching.” Such are the tales of fair gods and godesses, that we read today. In the intense interest we forget that Greece, the birthplace of these wonderful visions, is no more. That once she contended with questions similar to those which are disturbing our nation today; that she felt the same confidence in her power that we feel in ours, and that she was once duped, led, whitewashed, if you will by over confident, avaricious politicians. ’Twas but the old, old story of nations, however, which will go on repeating itself to the end of time. “Greece, lovely Greece, The land of scholars and the nurse of armies,” forgot the sacred trust she held to her own people and proved her ‘own betrayer. Aye, Greece had her Macedonians, Home herGoths and Vandals, fair Columbia—may she profit by their example. Lillian Jkreckk. Q orA. Once, in the city of Boston, there lived a lady who kept in her library all the magazines and fashion plates she could get, so that she might be able to notice the change in fashions from time to time. After a while she observed that the newest fashions were but old ones brought hack again. Tis not only so with fashions, for we are all well aware of the fact that history repeats itself. The world is like a pendulum. In our age it swings far out, only to gradually return. We ever act upon impulse, and usually from one extreme to the other. Even Nature does her work over and over again. Plants, growing, absorb and decompose the carbonic acid in the air, and thereby store up energy derived from the heat and light of the sun. They decay, are buried, or eaten by animals, and exactly the same amount of energy is liberated or changed from potential to kinetic; and the same amount of carbon dioxide is restored to the air. Animals, in feeding on plants, transform the energy of sunlight into the energy of vitality. 'l'hus the seer, With vision clear, Sees forms appear and disappear, In the perpetual round of strange, Mysterious change. From birth to death, from death to birth, From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth, Till glimpses more sublime Of things, unseen before, Unto his wondering eyes reveal The universe an unmeasurable wheel Turning forever more In the rapid and rushing river of Time.” So let it be with our religion. This is an age when the pendulum has swung far out. Let it return. What we want is the old brought back with its original purity and goodness Tis natural for people to worship. The ancients knew not God. so they set up hideous blocks of wood and stone. When these 24. were found insufficient, they turned to the most wonderful and glorious works of Nature, the sun, moon and stars, and worshiped them. Even this was inadequate, and, in their longing for something on which to bestow their adoration and devotion, they erected an altar to “An Unknown God.” The Christian world is not so unfortunate as to be ignorant of the one God, and His divine will Many hundred years ago God gave his people, through Moses, a creed, Ten Commandments. l'or simplicity, terseness and beauty, these have never been surpassed by any writer. In the tirst, part of this wonderful law, it is said, “Thou shult have no other God before me. Thou shalt not bow down thyself, to them, etc.” Thus, first of all, God sets up his own superiority. We seem to have forgotten that this may apply to us: but when we think of it, many of us worship brazen, golden and other images. “We figure to ourselves The thing we like, and then we build it up, As chance will have it, on the rock or sand.” We have different idols that we worship, beauty, wealth, fashion, ancestry Tis true our idols often fall short of what we expect. Beauty, fashion and wealth have a strange and easy way of slipping from our grasp before we are aware of its intended departure; and what, but his own actions, makes one man better or more noble than another?” “For all the sons of man are sons of God; Nor limps a beggar but is nobly born, Nor wears a slave a yoke, or Czar a crown, That makes him more or less than just a man.” “Tho.u shaft not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Doubtless you have all heard the “small boy” spoken of as a necessary evil, something to be endured rather than enjoyed. Indeed, there is one stage in his existence when this is true. It is when he reaches that point where he thinks it manly to swear. He does not think how very disgusting it is, besides being directly contrary to the command of God. He does it because he hears men do it, for of course they would not do anything that was not manly or noble. How many of us “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy?” We go to church in the morning, and try to think we have done our duty. The remainder of the day is spent driving around, do- iny; the work that w: i s I oft undone the day before, and a mutiny: ourselves 1� playing cards, base ball, or boat riding, forgetting to think any more about the Sabbath day, and of keeping it Imlv. We almost ignore the cnmmnndim'nt, ‘‘Honor thy father and thy mother.” W hen it was first given, it seemed a very reasonable commandment, but now 'tis the duty of parents to honor and obey their children. The better part of our parents' lives is spent in efforts to make our lives pleasant and useful, and have they not a right to expect wonderful things of us? How may we reach that high standard except by being pure and noble? W e may in no way do this better than by adhering to the religion given to Hod’s people so long ago. ’Tis only by His help and our efforts that we may be able to overcome the errors into which we have fallen. “Dear God and Father of us all, Forgive our faith in cruel lies,— Forgive the blindness that denies! Forgive Thy creature when he takes, For the all perfect love Thou art, Some grim creation of his heart Cast down our idols, overturn Our bloody altars; Let us see Thyself in thy humanity. —ivriiKL Reit . “Here endeth the first lesson.” So easy! Wandering listlessly over the beaches—O, those pretty beaches of knowledge—picking up pebbles, some to place in our cabinets, many to drop carelessly at our feet; a few to sparkle ever from their settings, others to be stored away back in the dark galleries of memory, to be used, perhaps, never. Hitherto we have been sculptors making ready our tools. Here is the block of our fortune before us to chisel as we may. In this the introductory chapter to our lives’ scroll are recorded the manifold kindnesses which everyone has shown us. We have had but to stretch forth our hands, and all things have been placed therein. Now shall we firmly grasp the plow handles of our destiny and sink a furrow that shall not easily be effaced by the march of Time. We have walked unsteadily along the almost invisible path of infancy, more boldly as it grew more wide and plain until, lo! today it merges into the highway of life. We are told that we are ready to step out and jostle with that selfish, hurrying crowd, and strive, and stride, if we will, into its very van. The world cannot altogether ignore us. It simply notices us with, “You may come, but you are only a plebeian.” A plebeian! Well, what of that! America’s gentlemen of leisure, (if leisure is the measure of a patrician) are her tramps. Who are not plebeians? Who is so rich that be can bribe Father Time to stay for one hour the sickle, or so powerful “that by taking thought can add one cubit unto bis stature,” or of such noble lineage that bis dust will not one day be wafted on the wings of the wind? And are we not rich in the (Jod given faculties for enjoyment of the beautiful around us, and in 27. tin inalienable right to life, liberty and (lie pursuit of happiness? Are we not powerful in the strength of a determination to make better for our short sojourn whatever sphere we may la called to occupy? When we leave our alma mater it is only to change schools. Whether we enter college or go to some other work, our minds are constantly under the disciplines of that severest of all schools—experience. We shall now have to estimate the advantages and disadvantages arising from the administration of public affairs, and form and act our opinions as to the great moral and social problems that are staring people in the face and demanding an immediate solution. Our resolve is already taken on one thing, to fight the armies of rum until every standard is captured and every stronghold leveled to the ground. There are already too many weather-vanes to he shifted by every breeze of public sentiment. Hemember though, one fire may often fan a breeze, against which the weather-vanes of public opinion can not be moved. The subject of temperance always brings up the subject “cranks.” I admire a crank, for is it not by means of the crank that the pure water of truth is drawn to the eager lips of the thirsty? But the minority are always classed among “cranks.” What is a minority? “The chosen heroes of this earth have been in the minority.” Look at Galileo, Golumbus and Luther! “Grand,” you say, “sublime!” They were leaders; we only follow where others have led. Now although we leave the scenes of our school, with its tasks and its pleasures, its duties and its privileges, we would still hold in grateful remembrance the instructors who have with such patience, kindness and skill cherished and guided our efforts to improve. To you we feel indebted for much that we are or may be, for in you we have found faithful counsellors and friends. As we go out into our new field of action we tender our best wishes and hopes for your future success. To the board of education we would tender our thanks for the many encouragements received, in procuring for us kind and efficient instructors and making pleasant and attractive our surroundings. We hope that in the future you may have the hearty co-operation of the towns-people in the same generous endeavors in behalf of the coming classes as you have shown us in the past. To our successors we would say that although you may hear of the sorrows of school days, we have found the sorrows only diffi- 2K. on It ins. but if you ever find a hard row to hot , whistle. histling and hoeing always go well together when the hoe keeps time with the whistle. ' (Messmates: We find our motto only too true, “not perfected, hut begun.” Let us go forward with a determination to perfect ourselves “more and more unto the perfect day. 'i esterday we were one, a class of fellow-workers. Tonight we meet to sever the bonds that have grown more pleasant and stronger day by day tor years. Tomorrow we are five—already entering upon tin study of our second and more difficult lesson. No more can we come to each others rescue when stranded: our little fleet separates, ami each must breast alone the breakers, avoid with (iods help the reefs, and battle with the storm. Heretofore we have been paddling about in a sheltered port, our little boats having only to contend with the wavelets and the harmless sea-weeds on the bay e shall often look back with pleasure, as enchantment is lent to the view of the beautiful harbor we have left in the distance, and wish that we might recall our brightest, our happiest, our school days. V hile I bid you all good bve as classmates it is with the hope that our paths may not be too widely divergent, and that we may often find ourselves within trumpet call of one another. Instructors and fellow schoolmates, as we part from you we wish you all an affectionate farewell. Fred W. Leavitt. Every one likes to know “how folks look,” so we feel confident that a description of this very remarkable class will be acceptable. Our modesty—for we are a modest as well as progressive class, forbids our enlarging to any great extent upon our personal charms, however numerous and varied they may be. There are only five of us and the characteristics are so peculiar and striking that one can not fail to recognize each image as it appears. Reflection I. Though rather misty, may yet be distinguished. The night we sought her destiny among the stars was rather dark. Jupiter was on the rampage and Venus tagged him around so,thatit was almost impossible to cast her horoscope at all. From all we could make out, her life will be a stormy and eventful one, if she ever succeeds in getting married. She has a bewitching dimple under her left eye; but gaze into the orl above it! Then her form is something marvelous, nothing in the class can equal it. She is very energetic and we do not doubt but that she would make an excellent old maid school ma’am. She has had some experience in that line and comes most highly recommended. She is the most modest of this most modest class, and never speaks unless spoken to. Indeed silence is golden. Reflection II. is that of a decided, determined little miss. We for a time entertained the hope that she might some day stand in Susan B. Anthony’s shoes, but our hopes have been rudely dashed to the ground, for Susan’s shoes would never fit her. We will not tell the size she wears, for, while we are modest we are also generous, and not at all willing to wound, to hurt each others feelings. Eyes and hair of auburn hue, has she. Well, we are not quite cer- HO. tain about the eyes, but it sounds better to mention the eyes and hair together that way. We couldn’t decide upon the shape of her nose. It would have been Roman and quite aristocratic if she hadn’t fallen against the edge of the water bucket when she was a little girl. But its deficiencies are quite lost when we contemplate the beautiful curve of her upper lip. And her brow—it is simply per- ________________________________feet! That helps her nose out too In fact, perhaps you had better skip her nose altogether. Don’t look at her bangs yet either. She has just cut them and you know-bangs are bound to look rather “ratty” just after they are cut. It doesn’t take them long to develop their former proper curves, however, so you needn’t wait long. Meanwhile observe the alabaster temples beneath them. Our looking glass is rather small, only large enough for the reflection of a face, therefore, peruse the next image. Reflation III. Is easily recognized. Her punky nose and brin-dle eyes proclaim her Deucher lineage. She tells us in all confidence, that when she was quite a child she had a great propensity for telling exaggerated truths, and meandering from the paternal roof to all sorts of improbable and impossible places. Strange to say she has never outgrown these striking characteristics. She is very ambitious and has already made an engagement to accompany “our actress,” as pianist and scene painter on her starring tour through the metropolitan cities of the United States. Her efforts and effects are something wonderful to behold. Nothing can equal it. Ihe accompanying illustrations are her latest. She is an inveterate punster and a riddle fiend. Her favorite question is “Why is a woman like a wheelbarrow’?” NV e have had the answer indelibly impressed upon our minds—“Because neither can climb a tree.” This answer will SI. always fill all the requirements of her riddles. Whenever she springs a new one, we invariably give that answer and each time feel that sweet peace which comes to one who knows he has said just the right thing at the right time. Reflection IV. Is that of a handsome, manly face; our youngest, our bouncing Freddy boy; our joy and pride. lie is somewhat sjioiled, we must confess. For two whole years the hopes and undivided attention of four maidens have been centered upon him. And yet he lives! Frederick, you take the chrotno for endurance. And can you wonder at our attachment? He is such a taking little fellow. He even “takes” himself sometimes. One day when the class went fishing he succeeded in taking himself no less than thirteen different times in as many and indescribable places about his apparel. His charms are numerous and varied. Besides a pair of fine hazel eyes and a scarf pin, he possesses an interesting pocket—his ehiefest charm lies herein—gum. It is never empty, and the girls mouths are ever full. He is of a very docile disposition; we discovered that one day while looking for his moustache. Can you wonder that we love him? Reflection V. This is decidedly stage struck. Notice the dreamy expression in the beautiful blue eyes. Now they gaze at you with a ghostly stare, seeing visions of Banquo’s spirit in the air; now they soften into moonlight glances as she faintly murmurs “What fools these mortals be.” That, by the way, is her favorite quotation. She has two ways of arranging her hair. In Psyche twist, which exactly balances her nose, and in a cute little loop at the nape of her neck. Her hair is curly, so curly, that, as she claims, it will start to curl up at the ends when she retires at night, and by morning will he clear up to her ears. Her nose has a dainty little Shakespearean turn, it you know what that is. She declares she is destined for the stage. You would think so could you see her, balanced on tip-toe, wildly waving her arms in the air and exclaiming in stentorian tones, “I will be an actress, And with the actors stand; A box of powder on my face, A dagger in my hand.” Mark, it is with the actors she will stand. Female competition in the profession is not to be considered. es, we fully expect to see her, at some future day, the brightest star in the theatrical zenith. Ihe last reflection grows dim and we are again outside the looking glass. We have tried to made our delineations clear and conoise, and, as “the proper study of mankind is man,” we hope the perusal of the images of these, the first, the last, the noble “High Hve, will prove to you a benefit (?) and an edification.
