THE PILGRIM Devere Wise is aclhually out of school and devoting his energies to the political platform. ,Frances wEric'h is a difstingnished geometry teacher over in Atwood. Ohh! how I can rememrbfer the days when I used to say Frances, please lgvive me you pgeom problems, hurt then I wasnt fthe worst one. There is Leta McCormick who is still taking geom and finds it a struggling proposition. At the dance Ira Reynolds was the popular man for he was lthefre with all his ifancy new steps. No wonder he is rushed as a dancing lnstrulctor. Julst as I expected Clharles Crou-p is now auto racing. He 'broke the world's record in olimabiing trees and received a silver cu-p. Good for Charles! Our shy lilttle Miss Tena is in the haiirdressing business-doing well, but she still insists that hair nets are in vogue. In :glancing over the morning paper I discovered a very nifce alrtlcle on the dance written by our 'talented editor, Earl Leonard. .He always was good along this line. I never will forget his trials and tribulations in the year 1914, and just over that little old Pillgrim. Cook, our great athlete is still running trying to break the one-mile record. When he begins running for a seat in the Senate the will match nicely with Bryan, who never did get winded. 'Clarence Seward, our little peanut boy is actually growing taall. He is now running a peanut stand in Chicago. He intends to exdtlend his specialty to politiloians. He says there is no difference in the roasting process of peanuts and politicians. They are both resigned to their fate. Chloe and Mae had a double wedding-a real brilliant affair, I he-air. Now they are both farming, an-d they .make ideal housewives. Our tall and queenly Irene 'ls making a big :hit at Ctliataiwquas giving lectures on Wlovmlanls mRo1itioal Aiccomplishments. Upon :glancing over this dayis diary it impresses upon my mind memor- ories which -shall never be forgotten. Martha Bowell, '14. Ualedtctorv It is with the deepest regret that we now approach the end of our four years' work in this school. We forget the hiardshisps, fwhiich we -have endured, and Wish ltlo fcairry away with tus only the pleasant memories, of which 'there are indeed many. In the years to come, our thoughts will dou'bt1es often turn Ito the m-any pleasant and happy re-collecitions con- nected with our Ihslgh school career. During fthe past four years, our ambition has been to strive for hifglher thin-gs, to help our classmates, and, asbove all, to think. If the four years of our high school training have aided ns, our minds lhave been de- veloped, and we have learned to Ithink. We never can 'tell what fthe future holds in store for urs, ibut we know, that if we are alhle to think and fto see ahead into the fwture, success and triumph will certainly await us in all our undertakings. ' We are about to fbwid farewell to the school wihose halls we have

Now last but xleast in size, I, Charles vCro-up know notlhing better fto leave than 'my several pairs of -short pants. I donate them ltlo the far C?J away :missionaries on the bank -corner of Plymouth. I do hope the .Sanranitans-, Will make lgioovd use of tlherm.

Brut my muscles tell me that tangoinfg Uhru life isn't one long everlasting joy-neither is besitating. How I do long for the dreamy 'waltz of my high sclhool days! Paxul, Frank, Arno, Irene, Fired, :Mary and Helen were -there. We all talked tog-ether, eaczh one strivinmg to make himself 'heard albove the smrains of the mrwsilc. .M?y .bnrain seems to be bewildered over the maze of successes the class of 1914 have made. Bertie' gown., a Parisian creation, indicates beyond a doubt that Paul has a grocery esltafblislhm-ent with a 'high rating with 'Bradstreet and Dun. As usual, Fralnki-e insisted 'upon 'being heard first. We couldnt th-ear distinnotly, but we ,got the impwression that he is now 'sole ,proprietor oif Ktlhe Court House .S1qm.are. Arno Oulllison has realized the :highest pinmaclle of his ambiltlion as professor of 'German at Inwood Hlgwh. He was 'p-rould of Helen last night and insisted lulpon the ihonor of carrying her di-plom-a als a .reward for hats tireless assistance with her studies. Fred and .Mary described Itlheir delilglhtfwl home, -and I do believe they are still living on love-or the interest on other pleopllels money-'for neith- er of them lbreamhed a thing about work. Orplha Yark is filling Mr. 'Harris' place, and even the Freshmen have mo lfJl'O4l1lbl6 in getting Cfhemistry thru the ehlinks of their brains. Helen Oalrlock is 1S'f,8aIlI'lI1Ig with Flint Helms at the 'Orpheum in My Frewshvnrraln Boy and IMy Out of Town Girl,' While Darold dreams of a fire-escape romance when he is not too busy rmoving tlhe stage property.
