SENIOR CHRONICLE And it came to pass in the year 1907 that much people entered the P. H. S., many more than had hitherto been received into those portals at one time. In the course of weeks this people assembled. Alas, they were young, so young! With much tumult they elected a king who should rule over them. He rules today, the honored Shorty Pierson. And the people chose purple and white as their emblems. And it was good. And it came to pass that the next year a new king must be elected. And it was so. And they called his name Hickie. And the length of his reign was nine months. And it was the third year. And Spike succeeded to the mighty kingdom of the Sophomores. And after several months was the Sight- Reading Contestg and they had a banquet, and this people was so great that no friends could be invitedg and the Freshmen Were sore. And it came to pass that this people lived yet another year and Hickie again took the throne. And in the course of months this people had a party. And it befell likewise that the Seniors had a party and Hickie was kidnapped, causing much wrath to be kindled in the Junior camp. And war arose. Much battle was fought and there was great slaughter on either hand. And that year this people put to flight the Seniors and caused them to graduate under purple and white. And now befell the last year. It chanced that on a certain night this people had a circus. And a circus it was and ever shall be so remem- bered, world without end. And it came to pass that this people chose pins amidst great tumult and amidst peace do Wear them. And a few months afterwards Was Junior day and a great War was waged and this people gained the victory. Then came spring vacation and peace was made. A few more weekshthen dust and ashes. And all together this people ruled five years since they first sought the P. H. S. Page Twenty

RAYMOND PIERSON , PRESIDENT Now l'll tell you, fellows. Shorty is a Pierson without a peer. His popularity is evidenced by his two term presidency. I-le has now ahalf interest in a Punch and Judy show. EDWARD J. GORMAN VICE-PRESIDENT Revolve a plane about it. Ed is one of our track sharks. He spends his school time buried in ge- ometry and his vacations in a country school in Kansas. He is a ranking member of the P. A. Club. 'MARGARET DAVIS SECRETARY Margaret has given us a very suc- cessful business administration. Al- tho engaged elsewhere, she has taken an interest in our proceedings, and has been a jolly companion for our hay rack rides. KATHERINE GIBBS. Tl1at's the funniest thing. A bubbling spring of humor, that is Miss '6Fat Gibbs. She can exchange limerioks with NVolfe any old day, and with any one else also. Katherine isnit noted for her studiousness but for her laugh. ' MILES W. BRYANT. I'll tell you. VVhile Spiize is aristocratic, nothing can jolly well beat him when it comes to teasing his neighbors, y'uuderstand. He bristles business and botany from his elongated anatomy. Our prophecy is that he will be manager of the Pref- erencia Plantation in Venezuela, ship- ping orchids to New York Society.
