 Our Class Organization In our Sophomore year we organized ourselves into a political body tor the transaction of class business. A Preamble and Constitution of ten articles, were adopted. One amendment was afterward made. The time ot holding regular meetings was fixed on the first and third Wednesdays of each school month, and we never failed to hold them. Special meetings were called whenever business interests required it. Officers were elected semi-annually. A record of the proceedings of each meeting was made by the secretary, and we now have the entire record of all onr meetings. In the perfect business method of this organization lies the secret of a large share of our success. There were often exciting debates and lively discussions, of course, and order was sometimes lost sight of; but never revolution or disruption. Proceedings were always carried on according to the Constitution and parlimentary rules. In these meetings we have acquired a useful experience, and they will be pleasantly remembered. Class Motto. Different Paths, One Purpose. Class Colors. Pale Bine and Canary Yellow.

THE MILESTONE. 11 Class Flower. The Rose. Class Yell. O My! O My! O Yes! O Yes! We’re Class of ’99 of the N. H. S. Here we are. Give us room. Razzle, Dazzle, Zippity Boom!!! The High School’s Piano. We take this opportunity of congratulating our immediate predecessers, the Class of ’98, on succeeding in the laudable enterprise of purchasing a Piano for the High School. Having listened to its beautiful tones during the past year, we can truthfully say we appreciate the gift. We thank the Class of ’98. We also thank the Public for the share it bore in the expense, and all others who contributed to the success of the movement. May the Piano always be a joy to the High School, and its donors held in grateful remembrance and esteem.
