For one thing we have the tallest boy in school. It is not generally known that the popular song, Long Boyu was written in fond remembrance of him. XYhen this was sung by Charley in all his natural elegance and simplicity, his physiognomy looked so prodigiously bewitehing in his genuine turtle shell-rimmed glasses that all the ladies fell in love with him and the song immediately became popular. NYC also have a real Irishman who is not at all bad looking. The sun- shine of his smile is ubiquitary. XYith a desperate looking black mustache he would make a stunning policeman, Next perhaps is XYee XYillie XYinkie, who has the most beautiful wavy hickory-nut colored hair! XX'hen his mamma gets it curled he looks so cun- ningg but alas? he hates the women worse than-we'll say great balls of lire. Fair Rosamond' is the most dignihed girl in school. She looks that way even when she is pushing a lawn mowerg now who but one of our class could do such a thing as this? Her nickname is Cherie, which is French for some pet name that the boys hate to say in public. Another notable member of our class we call just Patty. She had her hair cut olt last year and in a few months' time she developed so much brain that it immediately pushed her hair out until she now has enough to keep her from having earache. Then there is Alta, who is plump and sweet and hard to beat. She has rosy cheeks that are the same color all the time and never look unduly flushed. Her resonant alto forms a hrm foundation for the Glee club. Some day we expect her to be in grand opera as she already has mastered the songs, These Bones Shall Rise Again and Turkey in the Straw. Then, gentle reader, there is the writer of this eulogy, but that sweet, shy, modesty which is my chief characteristic, prevents me from saying anything about my charms, which are too well known to need mention, anyway. -MA Rl O RY HASCA LL, '2O. lllii ' l '' ll'li'lllllll'llllIWil '1 lllllllllllll'il''lm' ll'IlllIlll'l 'l ' lllllllflll'llll'11 '', l'l l'lllll!l'l'1 'lf.Ulllllllll'l1lllIl'l'l lil 'lllllllYlllllllll lll'lllllIivllll,'Il

NYC had four new teachers to get acquainted with, which, however, proved not such a difficult task as we had expected. XX'ith the new teachers came a new subject-Spanish. The .luniors had the privilege of taking this along with their other subjects, lieometry, History, and English. The girls also took Domestic Science and although the class was small in numbers, did some quite effective work along the line of cooking. This year four of our members took part in the High School Play. In addition to our other work the second semester we began planning a way to raise the money for the junior-Senior banquet. About three weeks before school was out we began active work on a Carnival. XYithin two weeks, with the aid of the other classes, we had pre- pared what was to be the most successful Carnival ever put on by Remington. On Saturday evening, May l7, 1919, at the time set for the beginning of per- formances, the old school building was swarming with people all very anxious to spend their money. XX'hen the money was counted it was found that we had taken in about 3133. The final exams were given the last week of school and Commencement and everything that goes with it were held the following week. Almost the entire week was spent by the juniors in decorating. as each function was held at a different place and it fell to our lot to decorate each place in its turn. :Xt last, however, everything was over and we had three months to rest before starting in at books again. .-Xt last we are Seniorsl How different the assembly room looked when we came back to it the fourth year. XYe had the privilege of sitting in the seats nearest the windows and of course many times yielded to the temptation of looking out of them and dreaming dreams, not of such common things as Physics, Spanish, English and History. This year there are only eight of us left out of the twenty-one Freshmen. About the middle of the first term we started plans to put out an Annual and from those plans materialized The Mirror. Wie expect to continue our work together until Commencement time, then go each of us our own way to-it's hard to tell where.
