One day as I roamed through the forest I came to a scraggy oak tree And bushes, all forming a deep recess, The abode of the wierd sisters three. In the center there rested a cauldron With things that might well cause alarm, And around it the witches were dancing, Chanting a wonderful charm. Please tell me, oh sisters prophetic— Quick! open your lips and foretell The destinies of my companions Who now in the East High School dwell!” Then smoke rose in wreaths from the vessel, And I shuddered with inward fear (Feahr) As in slow and hissing accents Came the words I longed to hear. Fair maid, in reply to your query, The state of your comrades we’ll show In the year nineteen hundred and twenty, Then out of the realm you must go.” Miss Packer a cross old spinster is, Who’s been disappointed in love. Will Wallace, that famous surveyor, Around the world does rove. The humorist, Miss Helen Swinton, Is very well known through the town. Miss Martin, as great as was Milton, Is wearing her laureate crown. Alice Shea, the popular novelist, Will publish a book very soon, With the odd and striking title, My Visit to the Moon.” Miss Lyons, the songstress so gifted, In a land across the foam, Is noted for her rendering Of dear old Home, Sweet Home.” 18

As June drew near and with it the departure of the Seniors, we decided to have a lawn fete in their honor, but the weather was unfavorable and a reception was tendered them in the halls of the High School, which generally look so formal and stately, but on this occasion, which under went a complete transformation. All afternoon the Juniors worked diligently, displaying everywhere their white and gold. Throughout the upper hall, were scattered inviting seats and with the aid of rugs, which covered the floor, and palms, the hall was indeed made very attractive. Music, dancing, and ices added to the unusually good time which was enjoyed by all. It was on this occasion the Seniors presented 11s with the famous and much coveted class horn. As sober and studious Seniors we have not as yet taken any part in the social whirl of the school but with our ban- quet and graduation, we are certain to round up our High School life in a manner befitting the class of 1904.

Gertrude Hoppe is keeping a dancing school Way down on Houlihan street. The latter was named for your comrade, k Whose nature is generous and kind, Because of her deeds of charity ’Midst the maimed and the lame and the blind. The world’s most important questions Are arranged by the G. C. L. S., Through the work of their famous committee — A custom quite new, I confess. This committee consists of Miss Glasby, Miss Murphy, and Miss Bessie Moore. Who of all that noted assembly Know most about current lore. They have settled that momentous quarrel 19
