THE SENIOR ANNUAL. 3) the officers of the Athletic Association of 1905-1906? We were honored by having one of our distinguished and learned brothers placed upon the throne of Vice President; also the Manager of the newly established hockey team is an active member of our class. Among the worthies of mention of our class is Willoughby Pendill, 1911, A. D., M. D. George Riley, who is looked upon as being the modern Greek poet, will in after years, if the legal profession still stands, be counted among the dignified statesmen of the United States Senate.

But let us regain the thoughts of those who have tenderly looked over us during our academic childhood. Under the supervision of the teachers of science, mathematics, Eng- lish and foreign language, we have every reason to be thankful for their kind services and to wish Prof. Harris, Prof. Campbell, Miss Andrews, Miss Miss Higham, Miss Creble, lastly but not least, Miss Kirtland, for her tender care in Thalman, and elocution, the greatest success and enjoyment during the rest of their lives. In recalling to mind the different events which have taken place during the three years of our upper school life, one in par- ticular comes up before our eyes. On the eighteenth of May, 1906, was tendered, by the class of 1907 to the Senior class of 1906 at Seegar’s Dancing Acad- emy, a reception. The function was very pleasantly carried out and greatly enjoyed by all. The school year of 1906 is drawing near the close. But we hope that when we meet in the sunny portico at the opening of school in September, we will meet with a desire for study so that we may obtain the long leoked for diplomas of 1907. Harold J. Cornish, °07.
