THE SENIOR ANN UAL The Annual Dinner. E. Johnson, P. H. S. '10. It was about a year ago in the middle of May when tl1e young Misses who carry their lunch to school planned a festival. lt was to be held in the Assembly Room and the two large reference tables were to be combined so the waitress would have plenty of room to show her great gift in that line. The teachers were invited and every one reported an excellent time. But alas! the time came when another was to be held, and had it 11ot been for the skillful management of Miss Hannah serious trouble might have resulted. She thot it best she went to Fred's, That's why she did not come. Another lassie was going to invite the teachers or not come. But she was iinally subdued by the lawyer's wife. At last all was arranged and even H- had decided to come because this was a grand affair. All was peace when just twelve in number sat down to their glorious feast. Chicken, sandwiches, cake, cookies, pie, pickles and everything imaginable was to be served. But lo! who was tocarve the chicken which a sunny gay girl brought from her country home? No one dared. Finally Miss Hazel attempted the task which we all know she will not undertake again. The result was the Gay family had chicken Land a bunj for supper. The pretty waitress tripped, spilled a tray of home made cookies, cracked the plate, and broke a date. This disaster received the A11 's and Oh 's of the happy twelve and just then Miss L- choked on a piece of peanut pie. Someone went to call the ambulance but at that moment Miss L- recovered and it was discovered that she had just had a laughing fit because it was her plate that tl1c waitress dropped. After the din- ner tltc baskets were set in the hall and all were patiently Waiting for the lemonade that was to be served in the library at 3 :45. When the time came they all adjourned for the lower story. VVhile they were drinking Qin the wack partj someone Cthey know not whoinj sampled the cherry pie. After a few unkind words by just two of the young ladies, undoubtedly sisters, they all fied in wild con- fusion thankful there would be only one sister, a junimore, at the next Annual Dinner. 4V7hiVb iifirt A 1 'f r YI N 4, ,W i N F

THE SENIOR ANNUAL Because she always minds her business she is busy all the day. Beulah Whom we all adore comes the next in this long list, She'll be great and famous some day or my guess I've surely missed. Nada, too, we're very fond of, and believe the hushed suggestion That ere many moons have vanished, she'll say Yes to the important question. ' Cyril Foreman, prophet, artist, dramatist of local fame, Has designs in the American which will surely make his name. Lineberry, king of the chemical lab. is truly not so very bad, Tho' he did cry Turn it off when electrical shocks were the fad. Next Miss Fern Gibson, tall and stately, we have seen and you will see That it is a task most easy to guess whose wife she's going to be. Walker with his sprightly grace, and radiant jovial face, In bestowing class gifts here will take a most important place. It seems the jest of heartless fate, that here I needs must mention Kate, Her daily messages to Bob-and early strolls.-a Purdue date! Mercie, the renowned reporter, hastened to the Indian show, Showing her great admiration for the big brave, Oh you Joe! Thompson keeps the finest order with his Parliamentary Law, Under this executive we moved along without a flaw. Bob Long the name Sport does merit, for he always cuts a swell. If he can't ride with the others, the bumpers do him very well. Leia by the class was chosen with our funds to be intrusted, Champion feather-weight she's guarded and has kept a treasury busted, Hannah beams about among us with a smile that's quite informal, As she's going to be a teacher she will hasten straight to normal. At the end of our long list now we mention Hazel Love, She's the girl who makes progression without needing a large shove, To those whose names I here have read, Pray pardon any unkindness said, For the class of 1910, is a jolly good class, And soon to tne great, wide world must pass. So forgive and forget as we take a last view, Allt. bid the old hall a fond adieu.
