CLASS OF 1900, O. M. S. $ MARY COLT. Of manner composed of face fair. Quiet Mary, she is auburn of hair, She sings like a bird, In the glee club she's heard; She's not really prim, it’s her air. HENRY COOK. This handsome fellow is Hank. In statue lie is long and lank; A good friend is he. And we're sure as can Ik , That on him you safely can bank. FLORENCE COOLIDGE. This is Florence, our sunshine lass. Whose philosophy can always pass; Every test of darkest beam, And light it with a gleam Ol rare and golden mass. WILLIAM CUSHING. Will; the president of the class, Is full of fun and jollity, alas! Sometimes for his madness, lie's in trouble for his gladness, Hut he's a fine bov among the mass. C GRACE CAUGHLIN.

Oh jolly and gracious is •'Swede.” He's kindly in tliot and in deed, lie's good ai all sports. Always quick with retorts. May he ne'er know privation or need. LOIS BAKER. Here is Lois, tall and serene. In the hall she oft can be seen; She just dotes on cliem And Miss Smith aud- io Math she's especially keen. ROY BALLARD. Of Roy you most likely have heard His eloquence dozens has stirred; This advice he will find Is useful, not unkind. 'Idle worms caught bv the earlv bird.” CECILE BONHAM. Oh. quiet and fair is this maid. She's one whose work is well paid, In grades she receives For surely she leaves A foundation of learning, well laid.

(). H. S. % CLASS OF 1006, WANDA GEE. Oh, black haired, black eyed maiden, Miss (ice, KulI of sunshine may your whole life be; With your grace and coy wiles, And your glances and smiles, You’ll suit some lucky chap to a tee. HOWARD DAVIS. Here is Howard, quite black as to hair, To do anything he would dare, He is always at ease, And he’s surely a tease. As all of the girls will declare. ELIZABETH HAVEN. As black as a sole is her hair, For naught but her books does she care; A fine cook is she, (She can make fudge and tea), A gay smile she always does wear. DONALD FULLEN. A happy go-lucky chap he, And rather good looking you see; With a dash and a flurry, » He s e’er in a hurry. May he prosper where’er he be. JESSIE GRAHAM. The basket ball captain is Jess, She leads all the ’00 girls in dress. It would take reams to show, All the things she does know— We give up in despair, we confess.
