Gllann ltintnrg, 1913 s Jessie Jones, 'i13. y OOKIN G back over the four years of our high Sch00l life makes the members of the Senior class seem like scarred veterans. Of the eighty-five 'Freshies' who entered P. H. S. in September, 1909, Chow long ago that soundsj only thirty-two have survived the strenuous- four years, to be graduated. As for the teachers who knew us as Freshmen-not one remains to tell the tale. T Every time we see a class of incoming Freshmen, we won- der if we were ever so small, so young, and so innocent-looking as they. We know we were just as scared. ' We dare say, that in those early days we have been lost in the intricate mazes of these class-rooms, we have borne the gibes and jeers of the Sophomores, and we have trembled at the name of Principal and Superintendent. But ah! those were good old days! Then no one had ever heard of deportment examinations. The only punishment for whispering or such misbehavior, was the changing of our seats- and that happened pretty often among our classmates. The assembly wasudivided up among the classes: the Freshmen sitting on the east side Cand we extended to the middle of the roomj' then the Sophomores, in a body, then the Juniors and in the last two rows on the west side sat the Seniors. How we look d up. to those Seniors. How we trembled with 'o when the delgned to speak with us! And how we longed fdr fhe da hey tee should' sit in the last two rows Alas! It was yfv en greatest disappointments when these t' one 0 our betlcaflyhlihat of us have had tcitsilfgdvtifiifngrhilflgielili year, 111 e mi e of the assembl a 1, f Juniors at besthand h Y, P ace or Sophomores or Freshman side! some ave never moved away from the Mr. Unnewehr was principal during our first term. And he never once took up our opening exercise period by a discourse on rules and regulations. When we had opening exercises they were the real thing, no little fifteen minute programs, with the principal justdyi11.g to ring the bell a few minutes before time. School took up at 8:45. Three mornings of the week we had music, Miss Harlan teaching us Pinafore and Queen Esther. On Tuesdays we were given some kind of 2111 address, usually by out-of-town people. Every lecturer who came to Princeton came to P. H. S., and he talked as lo11g as he pleased, mind you! On Thursdays the literary societies gave programs. There was the Oxford chapter, the Mermaid and the Tabard. When one of these gave a program, our first period was omitted, giving the time to ope11i11g exercises. 0 self-possessed Senior, do you 'remember the first time. waybaek in your Freslunanyear, when you were asked to take part in a prograinme-to read a paper before the whole school. or something of that sort? They took the deskaway, and you stood upon the platform, where everyone could see, and your fingers trembled so that you could scarcely read your paper. Wasn't that nerve-racking? ' Often, for opening exercises, Mr. Belcher would favor us with piano solos-as many as we liked. Every Senior remem- bers Mr. Belcher, our algebra teacher. t'ouldn't he make the most cutting remarks? Didn't. he make us work those equa- tions fast, as we stood lined up at the board! lint didn't we all Jgke 111111 though? Do you remember that perfectly dread- ful problem that it took us three davs to work? A wollm-11 had a basket of eggs. At one store she sold halt' an ll10l'e than half her eggs. At. the next store she sold hall' an egg IIIOFC than half her remaining eggs. At the next store she repeated tlusl,9,a11d then had three eggs I,-fl, llow many had she all f!I'S!+ We all thought. she had to break those eggs to set that extra half, and we couldn't figure one' ' e went. And the answer was thirty- . Our Principal taught the Elem first term, Mr. Unnewehr, the second, McDill taught Botany. Do you recall made in the fall, and how we traded barium in the spring?

Miss Young was our Latin 'teacher First Latin Book. Have you forgottei Cena bona est,,' and all such interes information? There was a large class which took G liliss Keeran, and then under Bliss Storl German class-now. It wouldn't take lo bers.
