Sweet William A PARO DY ELEANOR MAIN The quantity of whispering is not namedg It soundeth like the buzzing of the bees Unto the teachers' ears. It is twice cursed, It curseth him that speaks and him that hears. 'Tis worst of all the trials g it becomes The High School Student better than a crown. After school doth show the force of temporal power And is feared by no one: At the desk doth sit the dread and fear of students 5 But whispering is above that petty fear, To be controlled but by the clipping of the tongues. It is an attribute to mischief, sport itself. And truly, scholars, will ye then be angels When peaceful silence reigneth during school hours.

30 THE HERMIAD S understand that these money gifts are to be retained until a new high school is built, and then used to provide suitable and lasting memorials of the classes that gave them. I920.--The gift of the class of I92O was also a money gift of 1950, but given for the specific purpose of providing a suitable trophy cabi- net for the school in which to display the trophies won in inter- scholastic contests. The high cost of suitable cabinets has made it seem inadvisable to expend the fund thus far, as no suitable cabi- net could be obtained for the sum given. However, the Class of 1920 may be assured that the purchase will be made just as soon as a cabinet can be found that can be purchased for the sum given, or just as soon as other gifts for a like purpose will raise the amount to where a permanent and lasting case may be obtained. The school deeply appreciates these gifts, and they serve, not alone as a memorial to the givers, but as an inspiration to succeeding classes and as beautiful decorations to our present building VVhen the new high school is an accomplished fact, they will be given places of honor within its walls. The class of I938, alone, is not represented. The members have free- quently expressed their intention of remedying what was an oversight at the time. It is hoped that when this meets their eye, action looking toward the placing in tl1e school of some memorial to the class of 1908 will be taken, so' that the roster may be complete. CLASS FLOWERS In nature, june is the month of blue skies, sunny days and beautiful flowers. So, also, in the garden of life, do the flowers bloom in june when at last they are picked, one by one, by the gentle hand of the gardener, the chairman of the school board. Carefully wrapped in a white diploma, they are sent out from the sheltered hothouse of Plainfield High School into the world to shed their fragrance abroad, that life may be just that much brighter and happier for others. joseph Collonan. .... . .
