EBEN COLMAN GOULD Caused a speedy and permanent decrease in the value of real estate in Leominster, Mass.. by entering that quiet little town Sept, 5, 1876. In reply to our question in regard to his ances- try, he replied proudly, A son of the Revolu- tion. He is closely related to David Garrick, Ada Rehan, Beau Brummel, Prince of Wales, and many others whose names he is too modest to mention. He comes to us from Leominster High School. GEORGE FREDERICK GREY Presented his peaceful, pastoral counte- nance to the world, at Dover. N. H.. March 20, 1878. A great deal of his time since then has been spent puzzling out the points to Gould's iokes. Sluggish blood flows through his veins and he traces his ancestry far back into the Grey mists of antiquity. Among his distin- guished relatlves are found kings, queens. knaves. college presidents, and noted orators. but he refuses to give their names. He came to Exeter from Dover High School. HARRY WALLACE HOYE, H Prep, Was bom on March 16, 1879, at Dover, N. H. He came just in time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. This greatly pleased his father, John A. Hoye, who then gave Prep his iirst points on the game. Harry has all kinds of blood, good, bad, and indifferent. Says that his an- cestors were Napoleon Bonaparte and Trilby. Prep holds many otlices in the school of more or less importance Cmost of them are a good deal less than more sol.. Is sure to pros- per and grow wiser.
