Helen's career began on New Year's Day 1905. She has been with us from the start and is one of the Three Famous Helens of the Class of '23, She is seen very often in a Ford coupe. Helen will probably take up a commercial course next summer. WARD JACOBS A good fellow and an honest worker.

THE PAPYRUS '23 'AFINIS EST What was the matter with this village ?Everything was solemn and blue. I had thought this town had the reputation of having pep and spirit but to my utter amazement I found it to be entirely different. Even the weather seemed to be in harmony and sympathy with the people for it was one of those dark gloomy days. A man on the street corner was standing with his head hanging looking as if the Day of Doom had come. I wandered cn until I came to the street corner opposite the High School building, hoping to find some life there but instead was greeted by a much more sombre sight. The front doors opened and a long procession came down the steps. Leading the procession was Sujaerinteivuent Miner and under his arm was a lfirge white document. Following closely were Mr. Ellsworth, Mr. Miller, Mr. Harris, Mr. Marvel and David Ireland carrying a huge box resembling a coffin. The procession moved slowly down the steps and to the rear of the building. The students came filing out but not in their usual manner for they were much moved. As the last of the students descended my interest in the curious procession led me to a place where I might witness what was going on. There before an open grave Superintendent Miner unrolled his white document and proceeded to read to the grief stricken group The Last Will and Testament of the Seniors whose funeral rites they had just assembled to perform.
