Qiztnrg nf the Gllaaa nf '117. In September, 1903, ninety-two raw-looking pupils entered the Salina High School as Freshmen. They were rather green at first, but they soon learned the meaning of such words as Civics class. In the fall of IQ04 their number diminished to seventy-nine, but it was noticed that there were some fine qualities behind the greenness they displayed as Freshies. As juniors, with but forty-eight members, their abilities were brought more into notice, till, at last, this class became the brilliant Senior class of '07, with forty graduates. This is nearly twice as many members as the Senior classes heretofore have had, and twenty times as many as the first graduating class, in 1878, contained. Not only do we excel in numbers, but also in the quality of our work. Our records for the past four years have been exceptionally good. But few of the Seniors were among those not excused from the final examinations last term, showing that a great majority received an average of ninety or above in each study and also in deportment. Last year some of the members of our class wrote an original play for the Eighth Grade graduating class It was a great success, and showed much originality. The play, Midsummer Night's Dream, which we gave on the tirst day of February, was highly creditable as a portrayal of the theatrical ability of our members. We have endeavored to entertain the school for a few minutes on holidays as far as we could. On Christmas of 1905 we secured the offices of old Santa for the amusement of the school, and this year we had a large Christmas tree. During our Freshmen year five pictures, three ink sketches and two water colors, the work of certain members of our class, were presented by them to the school. 'Ihey were hung in a corner of the assembly hall with the old rose and cream pennant. Superintendent Crissman took us out to visit the chief commercial estab- lishment of the town last spring in hay racks. The affair was very profitable and enjoyable to all. During our four years in High School we have considered some of our tasks very arduous, but we now see the necessity for this, and we appreciate the considerations shown us by the Faculty. The acquaintances which we have made have been most pleasant, and it is with regret that we say good-bye. MILDRED BARR, '07.

LELAH GLENN Now, although she's rather quiet And never breaks a rule, I'm sure she has as good a time As the rest of us in school. ZULA BOUGHTON She's a charming little maiden, With her earnest eyes of black Which to us are indications That she'll follow duty's track. We are glad to do her honor, For she's one that we admireg She is full of real good mannersg Of her talk we never tire. 1
