We haven't time to count them up, but we certainly had some good times- and good eats too. Speaking of eats, reminds us of the clubs-that's a new thing this year-a Science Club, Domestic Science Club, Latin Club, Qthey like to call it the Classic Club or Classy Club, we have never understood whichj the German Club and the Eng- lish Club. The Seniors take a good part in these. Among the triumphs of our Senior year, first comes the triangular debate. Of course the victory was not wholly due to the Seniors, for Miss O'Hair's teaching really was what enabled them to win. Even those who did not debate felt that they have a fair smattering of the principles after outlining the whole of Burke's Conciliation A Speaking of triumphs, those who make their Physics credits this year, will count that quite an achievement. This class always was a great trial for Mr. Carrick. One shameful thing our class has done. Allbut nine of the Latin Seniors threw over Virgil for Freshman German. They certainly missed the best part of their high school course when they did that, too. If you don't believe this, ask lVIiss Harsha. Still, it wasnit their love for German that caused it, Miss Hoffman. If you'll carefully review the history of the Senior class you'll find that There's a reason. Mr. McReynolds, our steadfast friend, teacher and princi- pal for three years has led us through the toils of U. S. History and Civics. We always liked to complain to Mr. McReynolds about our hard work and long lessons, but they have not killed us yet, have they, Mr. VMae? VVe surmise you knew they wouldn't, all the time. A few of the Seniors are even taking Grammar this yea1', for they are going to be school-1na'ams. Some have already made license. The longer they teach, probably the better they will appreciate the justice of the teachers who seemed so strict, the rules that seemed so hard, and will enjoy the good times we have had during these four years in dear old P. H. S. VVe are the last Senior class to attend the old P. H. S. building and the first to be graduated from the new. May we all be famous by the time our class roll is removed from the corner stone of the new.P. H. S. ff- sri- ' , a

Qlflaim 1 Minturg '11 H1 3 -e0lm1ii111fPfl Again in the spring, we came out 't1'iLll11IJl1t1l1lQQ 1911-1912 brought J uniorship and Solid Geometry. Oh! that Solid Geome- try. We groan at the memory of it. If anyone wants to know why, just let him try that subject for a term. For many days our class held regular sessions after four o,clock, 'while Carrick vainly endeavored to instill some 11HdC1'St2LI1d1f1g'1T1t0 heads as solid as the subject he taught. It was just as painful for us, Mr. Carrick, as for you. 5 Many Juniors were wise, and took Commercial Arithmetic, hut what they missed' in quality, they made up in quantity. NlClll0l'lCS ol' the Junior year bring back to us Halleckis English Literafture. Some day in the bright future, t some learned professor, remembering his high school days, will do away with such a system of teaching English, and will substi- tute for a catalogue of authors, lives, characteristics, how many books, when published, etc., some of the writings of the different authors, that by their fruits we shall know them. WVhen- ever we had to 'tell the life of an author, on a' test, the-only 'thing we felt safe in saying was that 4'He was a precocious child. Halleck says that of every single writer. We wrote the usual themes on Table, A Day in the House of Johns songv traced the diamonds through 4'Henry Esmondf' and to this day the Seniors, to show their superior scholarship, boast to the Juniors of a test in which one question had thirty-five parts! V D As we mentioned before, the Sophomore year was that in which we learned to ride ponies. Well, at the end of the Junior year we were unhorsed! It was a nine days' terror. What, would the faculty do! I Our class took it rather cheerfully, flellvelsngvpp 'the,1rupg111es, leading them with strings, and call- 0- . Q .

The word mechanical had never been mentioned but once in the class, we had to stay. hliss Warnock taught music and German that year, too. About the most interesting' subject for the Juniors was Ancient History-not the history, but the teacher. Mr. Hines was very' popular among the members of .class '13. qDo you remember those forty minute to-be-continued talks he used to give on the Soul, Love, the Conscience? One of the most pleasing features of thatclass was that we never knew until we came upstairs what the recitation room would be like. One day all the chairs would be facing the window, where there was a .map for a blind: the next the map would be gone and we would' all be seated' in a semi-circle around a raised platform, upon which our teacher sat at his desk. In that room, house- cleaning time came about twice a week. . 1911-1912 was the year we made such a great success in athletics, and the year we took up the triangular debate idea. It was also the year of beans.' Do you remember the bean- throwing? So many witty poems and parodies have been written on that subject that no more, is necessary tobe said. If you remember the beans, .you also remember the exams Above all, do not let us forget the banquet we gave to the Seniors. We obeyed the Golden Rule, and did as we would be done Ciluniors please take the hint.D And we had a gran ' goo time, too. , . 'L All through our Junior year, Arthur Twineham used to sign his name A. P. Twineham, Junior. We half expected, this year, for him to sign it A. P. Twineham, Senior. For at last we are Seniors-and we do not feel so great and dignified after all. The Freshmen don't respect us as they should, Cwe suppose that is becausecwe are scattered out over the whole assembly. United we stand, divided we fallj and we live in daily terror, for fear that by some chance slip we may miss a credit, and fail t0 graduate., VVe do not dare to have any fun in school hours, so we have been driven to class parties and time to count them up, but we certainly h and good eats,' too.
