HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '16 UMMARIZING, we may say: The History of this Class was begun by two children, named respect- ively, Natalie and Sara, who influenced the first period greatly by their sweet innocence. They were soon joined by three others, Margaret, Mildred and Louise, who attempted to revolutionize the various methods of the time, such as in mathematics and geography. Margaret being the originator of the futurist art, which she used so effectively in her- map drawing. To Louise is given the credit of introducing the Chinese Puzzle, which predominated in all her Math. problems. 10 This period was followed by one of reconstruction, due to the inhuence of geometry and Caesar's bridge- building, Which revealed the quiet leadership of Lucy. Then came the great period of uncertainty and doubt, owing to the inHuence of A. S. Hill, but through the wisdom of Sallie, Elizabeth and Martha, this stage was peacefully passed. The last period is one of great wisdom and ad- vancement, which the makers of this History are now enjoying, aided considerably by the reputation of Virginia. S. K. M., 16.

Many cares to us may comee Ones she used to save us from- Oakhurst dear. beloved and true, Oh! how we all long for you. E. Hr-M. D., 16. LAKEVIEW NE stormy day in August, When raindrops filled the air, While seeking friendly shelter, We saw this scene so fair. Afar, beyond the hilltops, In solemn hues of gray, Were mountains in the distance In soldierly array. Gleaming lakes below us, Where fish were darting bright. Around them pines and birches Waiting the coming night. Those lakes are-bound together By brooks that sing with glee, And so they babble onward. And onward, to the sea. We saw the scattered houses, And fields of gleaming grain, And lakes, and trees, and mountains, In the silvery shower of rain. LOUISE VIRGINIA NEWBURGH, 16. 12
