T'HE WAMPUM 25 For many a day she did the same, A limb dropped off each week, So when the first month had gone by My poor aunt was a freak. They captured me, the town police, Then put me in the jail 3 I pined away, I lost my health, Grew wretched, poor, and frail. My aunt soon died, and willed to me The oaken bucket old, I took the bail and got away, The rest of it I sold. This poem has gone, gone from my mind, It fills me full of grief. For thereis one more I'd like to kill, Our editor-in-chief. W. F. S. '17, LOCALS V The class of 1917 held a very suc- cessful fair Friday evening, February 9th, in the Assembly Hall. A short entertainment was given, consisting of selections by the School Chorus, the Boys' Glee Club, and the orchestra. Dancing followed until twelve accom- panied by Young's orchestra. The fol- lowing pupils had charge of the tables: Candy table in the form of a lily pond, Alice Gerow, Ethelyn Hill, and Doro- thy Jonesg fancy articles, Agnes Chris- tie, Mildred Dunn, and Isabel Turner, fish pond, Arthur Donnell and Wilfred Perhamg peanut grab, Thomas Macy, ice cream, Walter Crowell, Willard Snow, and Charles Johnson. A dis- tinctive feature of the event was fortune telling by Mrs. Macy. This department was enjoyed immensely and was well patronized. Both tables and hall were prettily decorat- ed in red, white and green. We wish to thank all those who helped us in making this fair socially as well as financially a success. In October Mr. Coe gave a talk on books, showing which ones are the most helpful to us and why. In February he. gave a lecture on the laws of mem- orizing. On November 3rd, Fire Prevention Day, Mr. Shepherd came to the school and gave a short talk on tire extin- guishers, demonstrating their use. On February 21st in the Assembly Hall, patriotic exercises were held, consisting of selections by the School Chorus and pieces spoken by the Gram- mar School pupils. Oral themes were given by two students of the English classes. A good number of the towns- people were present, as well as repre- sentatives from the Relief Corps and Grand Army. The Alumni Association held a Pop Concert on March 16th. A large crowd was present to enjoy the music and dancing. In 1916 at the Business Meeting of the High School Association, it was suggested that two pupils of the High School. one from the Junior and one from the Senior class, be appointed to serve on the executive committee. The motion was carried, and Mil- dred Dunn and Walter Crowell were chosen. 'The Pembroke High School Associa- tion held its fifteenth Annual Reunion and Banquet on Saturday, May 5th.
