THE GOLDEN - HOD Joe McPherson’s browny locks Are of a blackish hue. The color of Ralph Merritt’s hair Is quite peculiar too. Ex-captain, Henry Moody, is Though bashful, yet polite. Cora Morse, who talks so loud, Won’t study, though she’s bright. Cherry Newell, when she walks, Just barely lifts her feet. Miss Packard’s fondness for the boys, Would be difficult to beat. Russell Parker, at recess, Goes begging for some food, And Miss Pinel is often in A melancholy mood. The next is Clara Porter, who Is famous as a cook, And Alvin Pountney’s often seen With his face hid in a book. And now the jolly Pratt twins come, One Floss, the other Hess. ’Tis said that people think they’re like Each other more or less. Carl is our gallant Patriot boy, Will he a Ledger keep ? Eddy Reardon, Rogers’ lunch Considers good and cheap. Next we see sweet Bertha, who Can write as well as Reed, And modest Alice Reinhalter Is very smart indeed. Lottie Rendle, as you know, In athletics does excel. Shy Richardson his comet plays Unusually well. Robbins, the harbingers of spring, We sometimes call Leona. Edna Robinson’s found a heart. Who do you think is the owner? Now Archie Rogers, it is said, To go to school just hates. Kike Sanders can’t go fishing now, Because he has no Bates. Alfred Small, the brilliant youth, Is the next one in our line. Miss Smith in Mathematics IV Is doubtless superfine. ’Tis thought that Francis Sweeney is The best dancer in the school. Young Lucien Thayer does know it all In his lessons, as a rule. Miss Julia Thomas now intends A dressmaker to be. Miss Tripp in Latin ev’ry day, Is usually “ at sea.” Tuck, the lad with the smiling face, Is our orator, you know, And Mary Wallace, a quiet girl, Is very sure but slow. Marion White, who is chubby and fat, Is always ready for fun. A good little girl who dares not to talk Is Caroline Wilkinson. Williams, the youth with the plastered hair, Is very fond of his books, And last but not least is Dorothy, Who’s not so Young as she looks. D. F. ’06. Socials The Class of 1906 spent a most pleasant after- noon, November 8, 1905, in dancing and playing games. As a class party is an uncommon event in our school, it was considered a great treat and thoroughly enjoyed by all who were present. The annual foot-ball reception was given De- cember 20, 1905, by the young ladies of the three upper classes. According to custom, dancing was the entertainment for the evening. The matrons were Miss Fish, Miss Thompson and Miss Guild. On February 23, 1906, the Sophomores gave a very enjoyable reception to the Seniors. Mrs. Harper, Miss Sherman and Miss Souther acted as matrons.

THE GOLDEN-ROD The Class of 1906. Of five and seventy pupils does Class Nineteen Six consist. The first one is Gertrude Ahern, Who can’t from tricks desist. And next comes pretty Mila Hates, Fast runner of our class, Then Miss Bizzozero, who in Her Latin doth surpass. Now in our view looms George Bjork, Who is so very tall, And after him sedately walks Our good friend Carrie Boll. Next Edna Brown, a German star, Who is a noisy child, And Harry Campbell, who alas From study’s oft beguiled. While Albert Collin's thought to walk A little over proud, Rebecca Conway always talks Considerably loud. Now Marion Corey is the one Whose conduct’s very bad, And Samuel De Forest is Bather a boisterous lad. Francis Desmond always sports A crop of foot-ball hair, And shy Miss Duggan often looks At one with a glassy stare. Miss Duran appeal’s to stand As straight as any wall, And Jimmie Elcock is the star In the playing of base-ball. The next, Dot Fay, I truly think, Has underta’en too much. And good Ruth Ferguson was loath To give up studying Dutch. Joseph Ford, a handsome lad, Is sometimes very mute ; And don't you think Carl Fowler looks Quite cute in his dress-suit? And Edna Fowler, when she smiles, Displays her teeth like pearls, While Leo Garity seems to be Most fond of pretty girls. Margaret Gill, her English lessons Is inclined to shirk. Punk Hanson, walking, wags his head With quite a haughty jerk. Have you e’er seen John Higgins blush, As he strides through the centre aisle, Or Charlie Hogan, when, at girls, He casts a winning smile? Now Harry Hooper looks as if He never combed his hair. While translating Latin, to talk aloud Does Will Howe never dare. Miss Olive Huston, as you know. Is very short and stout, And whom forever does our friend Ray Jordan talk about? Miss K apples oft for conduct bad Has had to change her seat, And Celia Kelly’s rosy cheeks No mortal maid can beat. Mistress Mary, quite contrary, Is yet an uncrowned King, And Grade “Lamb,” a winsome lass, Will neither “ bleat ” nor sing. Bright Bula Loud, by guessing, in Her studies seems to pass, And Clarence Loud is very fond Of a certain kind of “ Sass.” Our tiny friend, James Martin, looks As though he ought to grow. In English there is nothing which Miss McAuliffe doesn’t know. John McClure, so I’ve been told, For drawing is the one, And smart McConnell, you’ve observed, Is always full of fun. Joe McDonald is the next, He’s neither dull nor bright, And McGilvray, very dark and straight. Is noted for his height.
