The Poreupine. VoLuME IX. SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER. 1902. NUMBER 4 PRUDENT PEOPLE PURCHASE Ea PRICKLY | + POR CUPINES CLASS POEM—XMAS, 1902 As we stand to gaze on the battle of life, We of the Class of Nineteen Two, To our minds come the thought of the world’s great strife, And our bidding each other a last adieu. How oft have we trod up the High School stairs ‘To lessons and tasks by teachers assigned ; Coming alone, or coming in peirs, But never a membe: left behind. Four long years we have faithfully tried To climb, each term, to a higher grade; Searching for knowledge, far and wide Seeking impressions that never will fade. But now, NS me sketch, in a very few words, A few of the virtues of each of the class; Though of Tete good traits not recording a third, Yet all other classes they greatly surpass. As soon as we found our class must unite, We chose as our leadet a boy tall and strong, A boy who in field s ports finds greatest delight And whose face beams with happiness all the day long. We have in our number a bright, happy maid, With oe blue eyes end a warm noble hea Her sake in all works she will never evade, For Nannie will everywhere shoulder her part. Robert, whose knowledge toward all science doth tend, Is a youth that is tall, with handsome dark eyes; Though to victorious athletics his thoughts do most benc Yet in deep nciem dick he calls forth our suebtian. The-e’s Helen, who wishes for grece and for ease, She’s a figure that’s lithe and eyes that are bhie. If kind fates would grant her a wish that would plez Se, Its along social lines she her pathway would pursue. With Will’s art of persuasion voice, As a shrewd auctioneer he’ d be sure to succeed, He'd urge each buyer into m:z aking a choice And purchasing goods that one never would need. in manner and Sweet Alice, among us so studious and bright, A future has planned that few may excel; Because of he- wishes to do what is right, We chose her our prophet, our fates to foretell. And then, Nellie Ward, with hair dark and curly, Comes treading to school so dainty and neat; In class she is prompt, she is always here early, To one who’s so constant can come no def eat. That Master Fred Wooley is bright, we all know, le works for a field d ay as if fo- his life: A on such as he we our laurels bestow, r he’s of the mettle to win a strife. -ulu has tastes that are purely aesthetic, What she loves most fondly are beauty and grace; ‘ither songs that will thrill one with notes so pathetic Or the beauty of mind that shines in a face. Jesse Wright is the one with the dark auburn curl s, He’s always for t-uth and for honesty stands, This wins him a place in the hearts Of the girls, For ’tis boys such as he that can fill all de- mands. We have emong us a dark-haired Grace, Who’s career leads her on in the paths of duty, As class historian she takes her place, nd may she portray our past in its beauty. s we bid farewell to each other tod: Ly, Let each promise to meke the ende: avor To live up to the best that is in us alway, nd preserve our class friendship aaa —Grace Butler. oe CLASS PROPHECY One cold winter night when the wind blew and the snow fell without, I stood to watch the snow flakes fall. The thick w hirl of the tiny, white specks sped thick and fast. ( ‘loser and closer they came and, ina sudden rush, caught me and softly whirled me away in their merry dance. Everything about me was frozen and white: the brook by the wayside had put on the icy coat; the trees bowed down with their snowy burden were scattered around me: under foot, nothing wes visible but the purest snow. Sud- denly in the distance shone the glimmer of many lights. Fo llowing this guide I soon came
