Hli-.1 At last vve deem our annual as near ready as it ever will be to meet the cold, criticising stare of an unrelenting public. If the result of our efforts meets approval, may it add to the credit of our class, but othervvise, may we not lose in esteem, having at least tried, Wife know many errors vvill be found herein and we beg merciful indulgence. The class of '06 published an annual which they very frankly called The Limit. We congratulate them upon taking the lead in this undertaking, theirls being the first class of P. H. S. to publish a class paper. They set a good example which we are the first to follovv. Cf course we are conceited enough to think that we have made some slight improvement as we should. XYpuld it not be of great value to P. H. S. if each suc- ceeding class deemed it a pleasure and duty to publish an annual, making each number better and larger than the one preceding. For the name chosen. c'School Days. we make no excuses nor do we think it needs any explanation. However let us say that we think that we are in a position to sympathize with parents who have had difficulty in decid- ing upon names for their children. TNG: take this opportunity to thank all those members of the High School who have shown their interest by contributing material. VVe wish particularly to thank the business men who have made this paper possible by inserting advertisements and to all who have helped us in any way, we extend our grateful acknowledgement.

Friends, Teachers and Fellow-Students: It gives me great pleasure in behalf of the Class of 1908 to extend to you who have honored u by your presence to-night a most hearty wel- come to our Class Day exercises. But mingled with feelingsfof pleasure are pangs of regret. for as a result of an examination held last week the verdictwas given that the Class of 1909 could not live but that her High School life must expire next Friday evening. So this is the last time that we shall be assembled as members of Phelps High School. It is there- fore with a stronger appeal than ever that Qui' Alma Mater presents herself to us tonight. And her right to our services which at best cannot meet the desires of our affection is much clearer, now that we have so short a time 'neath her roof. Perhaps we have at times thought that our lot here was for the most part work but now that we are leaving we can plainly see that good times, such as we can never more enjoy, have been ours. Especially during the last half year have we as a class experienced many pleasant hours. Not a few of these were the Class spreads given by the girls where d ties very tastily gotten up were very taste-1 fnny gotten down. I In the history of Naughty-Eight,-Qui' Principal would perhaps tell you that we are the 'Naughty-Nine,'-this is a great day. But how little the world seems to notice. VVhenl we met our friends today they exchanged the same commonplaces as though it were yester- day or 1 e day before yesterday. This morn- ing the Sunwrose as usual, shed it's same steady rays throughout the day and this evening set in no greater glory. However S this is our farewell meeting and though we must part our ties of friendship need not be broken. I Artemus VVard once stated that he would lpresent a short prologue of about ten minutes in length and of nearly the same width. But iperhapsf' he said, it is not necessary to speak of the depthf, VVe have arranged a pro- lgramme of an hour or so, in length, but like llfliard, we will leave it for our hearers to de- ltermine its depth. Please don't consider what I have said as a lpart of the programme-I am here more as fa preface or table of contents. The real chap- gters are to follow. i CLASS HISTORY. l Edna Elizabeth Kfegiah. As I was thinking of the class of 1908, my .thoughts turned to the history of each mem- lber. jotting these down, I obtained the fol- llowing facts: - l First came our President, who attended school in what is known as the Henpeck dis- trict. I-Ie lived so near the school house that lhe generally arrived in time as he needed onlv lto start when the last bell was ringing to be lin his place when the roll was called. After Ihe had gained all the knowledge that this Jschool could afford he started to come to lP'helps High. He could not keep up his record lof attendance here as in the other school since he had farther to go. But altho' he has been late a few times, he has worked hard and espe- cially in Greek in which he has the honor of standing at the head of his class,-and also at the foot. He has always had a liking for the girls, but could never make up his mind which he liked best, until some time ago he discovered the charming ways of a certain young lady of the junior Class. Since then his mind has seemed more settled and we are sure he has a bright future before him. I next thought of the history of our Vice- President. She had even a shorter distance to go to school than our President. In the SCHOOL DAYS. 7 -F11- THE FACULTY. little school-house in sight of her home, she studied hard and finally made up her mind to see if she could enter our school. This she was allowed to do on account of her sweet way of asking for admission. After she had started she tried to get some young manxuon a stringf, But all her charms failed to accom- plish this feat. Altho' she was sad at heart, she always kept a cheerful expression on her face. Wfe thought all her efforts were in vain until one day not long ago she came to school full of joy and hope for she had received a Post Card from some young man in Auburn. The Presidents of both the junior and Sen- ior classes seem to have grownfond Olives this last year. It is a shame they have not discovered their good qualities before this late hour. Our Treasurer has always lived in this vil- lage and started in the lowest grades of this school. Ry hard labor, he has pushed on until he has at last reached the top of the lad- der. He has always been bashful and did not dare look at a girl. If one looked at him, he would blush rosy-red. But he has gradually gotten over this. owing, perhaps, to the many class gatherings which we have had this year. lt is reported that one girl has already asked him if he intends to get married this leap year. But he told her he thought he would wait four years more. - Our prophetess commenced her school career in a country school house about a mile and a half from her home. She trudged back and forth to school, eager to produce more wrinkles in her brain. But her principal reason for going was in order that she might sit with the boys. XfVhen she came down here to school, she was obliged to give up th' pleas- ure on account of her father's threats. Here she has been very successful in her work, passed all her examinations, and now stands at the head of her class. Our class musician also started to go to school in a country school. She never studied much on her lessons because she was so much 8 SOHOOL DAYS. interested in music that she had no time to think of other things. She used to play on a comb during the noon hour instead of playing? with her friends. If she did not take this instrument with her, she would have her brother make her a cornstalk fiddle because she could not get along without some musical instrument to amuse herself. At last she became tired of going to the little old school- house. So she came and asked permission to enter Phelps .High so that she could play on the piano. She was allowed to enter but soon found that she would have to work harder here. Cn this account. she gave up her music for awhile. But you can tell by her playing to- night that she has not forgotten her early lessons. . Our presentation orator also lives in the country. He used to go to school with our musician. He was by no means the best boy in school but knew what was meant by the hickory stick. He was always smiling at the girls and was more than pleased when one looked at him. Wlhen our musician started to come here to school, Edgar thought he had better start too. So they have worked along together and are now about to graduate. Another important person in our class is our Junior roaster. She is one of the two who began in the lower grades of this school. She has never worked too hard for her health because she has always cared more about the boys and about having a good time than about studying. Altho' she admired all young men, there was one especially whom she liked for some time. He was very often seen going down east to the Towns end. But for some reason or other, they grew less fond of each other and now she is waiting for the right one to come along. Our poet is last but by no means the least. It was down east on the Pine Plains where l l 1 L l i l class did not know this fact, until recently when one of our members discovered that she had so many admirers. This is the brilliant record of the 1908. f class of CLASS POEM. Auriel Harvey. lin a village of the Empire State, V i i i l she obtained her inspiration for writing poetry. lt is probably on account of licr poetic genius that she is the belle of the Plains.

Although the one is- irrevocable and the other is unknown to us, we hold the former by history: the latter we possess by anticipation and by hope. As we pause today upon the dividing ground between the two eras in our lives and look back over the varied experience of our school life, with its buoyancy and its pleasures, its rivalries and ambitions, its duties and generous friendships, we cannot avoid a feeling of sadness that comes with the thought of parting. There is however one thought which should be uppermost in our l dis uellino' the gloom of present sad-- has left a lasting impression and hearts. It pervades the of our natures. It has be- principle in our lives. It molds our characters and shapes our des- tinies. - Our life-work lies before us. A life of the our school days upon our minds inmost recesses come a guiding .highest endeavor can alone repay the debt v l l 1 l i i 1 i i i l i l l we owe to our Alma Mater. As we go from these halls into the battle-tumult of the world, where our mission is to be achieved, and our rank among men decided, she bids us take up the line of advance into the future and press with earnest purpose to noblest aims. The opportunity for a liberal education that have been extended to us in the four short years that are past, are the seeds that are to germinate and ripen into deeds. As the future beckons us on. let us follow with un- daunted courage ever bearing in mind our motto. Non Palma sine Laborei' which when mint s, . .1 5 g y ness and suffusing with a golden glow theltranslated into English is No Victory with- morning sky of the future. The influence oflout Labor. 10 SCHOOL DAYS. CLASS PROPI-Il-ECY. Ethel Mae Donnelly. Un evening as I sat by the window thinking how soon we must leave these old halls, the thought of the future of my classmates came to me. Gazing toward the setting sun, I noticed that the sky had a strange appearance. Behold! There were the very words of my thoughts. '4The future' of the class of l908f' This vanished and the future of each member appeared in turn. The future of our president first appeared. In two years he will enter Cornell University and take up the study of law. But Syracuse holds too many charms for him. and he will leave Cornell to enter Syracuse Universty. He will graduate from there with high honors. He will meet with great success in his busi- ness, becoming one of the judges of the su- preme court. I next saw the future of our vice-president. Miss Stryker will enter upon a novel under- taking. She will next year establish a school to educate young ladies in the art of candy making. Pupils will come to her from all parts of the United States. I did not wonder at this when I thought of the delicious candy she makes. If there should be any doubt concerning it, just ask our president or any of those whose seats were near Miss Strykerls. Next year Mr. Needham will enter Cornell University. In due course of time he will graduate but he will have received more than an education while at college. Next leap year one of the sweetest girls in Sage Hall will make him a proposal which he will accept. The future of Miss Kregloh will be vastly different from that of any other member of the class. .Xfter completing her college course she will turn her thoughts toward the negroes and give her life to work among them. She will do noble work and the col- ored people of thc south will forever hold her name in reverence. . I found that our class was to have a famous musician amongst its number. Miss Benton will enter the Boston Conservatory of Music Vlfhile there she will give entertainments, meeting with approval everywhere. Aspir- ing to even greater honors she will go to Ger- many and study under the great masters. Her playing will be listened to by all the Courts of Europe. . Suddenly, there was a bright light in the sky. I could see that it was a forest on fire but a person whom I recognized as Mr. Vlfil- bur, appeared and soon had it under his con- trol. By this picture I saw that he would be- come a successful forester. In golden letters I saw The future of Miss Mulchayf' She will become an accom- plished young lady, graduating from Wfells College. The study of music and art will not be neglected. To complete her educa- tion she will travel in Europe, visiting the courts of the most important countries. Nobleman of every rank will shower her with attentions and at last an Italian of high stand- ing will capture her heart. Nothing further was given, but let us hope for the best from our most accomplished member. The last that appeared in the heavens was a beautiful picture. It was a lonely hospital with many sufferers. I noticed that all the patients were looking with admiration toward the same place. They were watching the nurse, whom I recognized as my classmate, Miss Harvey. As the last color faded from the sky I thought of each doing his share in the battle oflife and silently breathed a prayer that we might all prove faithful to the trust given to us soHooL DAYS. 11 JUNIOR ROAST. Iva Olive Mulchay. g Mr. President and Members of the Junior Class :-lt has been with interest and pleasure that we, the Senior class of '08 have wit- nessed your evolution through the different stages of your school life to the dawn of your Senior year. At times we feared that the weight of high school work was resting too heavily upon you, and that P. H. S. would lack a Senior class in l909. But it is with gratification that we can look into your bright faces tonight. and feel that it has been through our influence as Seniors, that you have reached this point in your career. Vsfe have noticed that several of your mem- bers have been rather backward in their work, but have been coached through by the remaining members, who, only by persistent troting have attained their little knowledge. of which they boast so much and so often. In particular we recall to mind your Presi- dent, who was never known to call a class meeting, but would generally be seen holding a private conference in a back seat with one of our Senior class. VVe all think it so strange that you should have chosen him as President. of your class: but when he is compared with the other young men of the class, VVhite. Needham and Kregloh, it is plain to see why. Although Mott hasnit the distinction of being industrious, and is not noted for work, yet VVhite is too lazy, Needham too slow and Kregloh too bashful to have taken upon them- selves the responsibilities of being the digni- tied president of the Junior class. So the mis- fortune fell upon Everett. One of our pleasing memories of time past was when two of our high school people met. It was only a few years ago, but from that time they have been very much devoted to each other. These two young people, I hardly need to mention the names, are Miss Howe and Mr. King. Miss Howe, we suppose, will be your class singer next year. Wfe advise, however, that you have her voice trained by some noted artist, as she is soon to become a queen,', and also for the sake of the audience which might congregate a year from now for your class day,--if you have one Miss Margaret Howe will, of course, be your class musician and although we have enjoyed her playing throughout this past year, yet we feel that our class musician can- not be outdone, and that Margaretls playing is a little out of date. Marie Connolly is not especially noted for anything, and her musical talent is said to be scarcely worth mentioning, but we have no- ticed that on Sunday nights when Art,' Har- vey makes his regular evening calls, that she pounds the piano until everyone, excepting Art, moves away, and return only when the thundering ceases. That is when Art and Marie are occupying the hammock on the porch. ' From time immernorial the gentle voice of Alyce Gerow has rung through our school. We don't mean to infer that Alyce is at all old, but that she has acquired the high school ways so slowly, that it really seems by this time she must be an old, old maid. But, of course, we all know differently and realize that she would very much like to be married. Per- haps that is one reason why she prefers to sit by a window in the study hall and try to catch the eye of some passer-by. All the time, how-- ever, she has a string on her Teddy for fear that she may lose him. A chum of Alyce's and a sort of a Hirt is Alyda Hicks. She has captivated the heart of a young man from Lyons by the name of Hornbeck. Regularly every Sunday night he is seen around Phelps and occasionally one finds him waiting at the church, for Alyda hasnlt as yet learned to recognize his turnout. Veda Estey is another of our popular school girls who spent a year away at Cazenovia, but 1-....-1.. -...-- -- 4.4-aa..- returned to Phelps because she pr company o ie y. g there. .,1.-..T.......-....- , SCHOOL H DAYS eferred the ftl ouno' men here to those Ethel Par- One of our charming juniors IS dee, the young lady who blushes and always . . n 11 ' has her lessons in Latin and Geiman.

These words are written for the purpose of thoroughly roasting you juniors so that you will make perfect Seniors next year. Wfe hope that they will accomplish their purpose and that you will receive them in good part. ,1..i.l-...Mi WANT ADS. Wfantec.-A step ladder, so people can loolr me in the face. Harry Dear.

The privilege of sitting in the back seats decided at a recent meeting of our renowned faculty that on June 23, ,OS must leave her Alma Mater and depart to realms unknown, nevermpore to brighten the halls of P. H. S. by her presence. ' In view of this fact she has signified her desire to have published her last W'ill and Testament that the faculty and her under classmates may pay tribute to her generosity. My client wishes to state that owing to a swelling of the head, caused by its gradual increase of knowledge during the past four years, and a heaviness of the heart and other organs caused respectively by the thoughts of departure and much feasting at the several spreads, she may bemistaken in her inven- tory, but such as she has she gives to you. She trusts that you may not think it is only because she cannot take the goods with her that she shows such generosity but because they are not worth keeping.

Edgar C. Wilbur. Mr. President, Classmates, Faculty and Any Ma's and Pa's here present, let not your thoughts be troubled, do not get scared for nothing serious is intended in my gab. In the background as you may notice, we have a tree covered with gifts which are usually pre- sented at Christmas time, but which are very appropriate for the members of our Senior c'ass three hundred and sixty-five days in the year and three hundred and sixty-six days on leap year, especially leap year. The first present which I desire to present is to our president Theodore Warner. Mr. Wfarner, in order to express our deep anx- iety for your welfare and our hope for your future success, allow me to offer you a lan- tern by which you may be able to find your way along the wild and lonely roads to Melvin Hill on dark nights, and also allow me to offer you a well-trained horse which will know when to turn in at your home gate, in case you should be dreaming sweet dreams of Alice, while returning in the early hours of Monday mornings. In addition we desire to express the wish that you may attain the posi- tion of the head executive of our nation by following out the precepts of the motto, Non Palma sine Laboref' Our vice-president, Miss Olive Stryker, t-he members of our class, have kindly remem- bered with an alarm clock which we hope will prove a Warner for her to arise in the morning. ' Miss Kregloh: WVith the intention of ex-- pressing our sympathy for your future happi- ness and welfare, I beg leave to offer you a small Post', to replace the one which for- merly stood in your yard. For our treasurer, John Needham, the phy- sicians of Phelps have prescribed a bottle of Nerve Tonic which they and the members of the Senior class sincerely hope will strengthen his nerves, so that he may be better able to endure the presence of ladies and not get so wrought up when Miss Bull takes him down to Miss Ritchieis room for a private confer- ence behind the locked doors, Mr. Needham! In order to express our appreciation of her talent, we the members of the class of Naughty 'Eight desire to present to our class musician, Miss Lena Benton a piano with which we hope that she will be able to play the Merry Widow Waltz to perfection. Our class poet, Miss Auriel Harvey, has been remembered with a bird cage in which she may keep orioles. Miss Mulchay: In order to preserve your charming beauty from the' rays of the sun, I beg leave to present you with a Merry VVidow,', which your classmates sincerely hope will be able to take the place of your present one. To our valedictorian, Miss Ethel Don- nelly, we present a pair of rubbers which we believe will take the place of those she wore out while walking to one of our class spreads. lt..-...il- I-Ier hair is like the beaten gold, Or like the spider's spinning Itis in her that Guy beholds his joys and quarrels beginning. Her eyes are like the diamond bright, Her form is light and fairy, Her feet are small and she is tall, and whole way is airy. She danced into his willing arms, VVith steps so light and sunny, Said Guy, My dear, we'l1 never part, niy own, my gentle honey. But off she flew like morning dew That sunbeams call, and would not linger Now all his love has turned to hate, And he calls her a blinger. her M SCHOOL DAYS 4 ,m f , i . 1, ,...... . t ,..,,e- I I 1.' . - Ag ri... 4 ' 'Wy-e5nhAANlB dh quetv TO THE FRESHMEN.

Edna once was called a Post, Now she gets only a roast. Theodore is very wise, To guess by the blue of his eyes. If you wish to raise his malice, just pretend to love his Alice. Edgar hails from north of town, His face is never wrinkled with a frown, For every dayin class. He sits beside his Lena lass. Iva used to love her T, But now,-Oh he! Oh fee! Iva is a Flirt we fear, For she let him leave without a tear. There is a boy from west of Phelps, His Auriel he often helps. Charley is so very wise, That from him she cannot take her eyes. Ethel is our darling pride, Her knowledge is so wide. VVe'd like to tell her lover's name, But alas! shels never told the same. Olive is a dandy girl, Wfhose hair is never out of curl. She declares, without her Mott, Her life would be a blot. lohn, your case is very sad, For you are such a bashful lad, But all the girls are stuck on you, And would like to tell you, too. G. F. C. ,lO. .1..1-.1,.i-1- VVe are sorry to report that two of our in- tended seniors Hquituatedn the fore part of the year, and are now thinking seriously of launching forth upon the troubled sea of matrimony. May they have much happiness and the best of good fortune in this tremen- dous undertaking. . , W..- -S..:- 18 SCHOOL DAYS.

The old school house on the hill, The dear school house on the hill, It was there we gained our little knowledge, And forget we never will. To the school .house weare leaning, VVill our thoughts so often turn, And when each and all are distant far, Our class love will still be firm. Cho. Wfhen we look out in the future, When we look back at the past, We remember with a deep sad longing, That our school mate days are past. Cho. 11 WHAT'S IN A NAME. Why is Harry VVhite? Do John and Ed.
