Our time was decidedly limited, so after talking a short While, we returned to our train. Soon we were speeding to Schenectady. The old city was changed considerable. It had expanded greatly since 1919. The High School was much larger, another addition having been erected which contained a spacious gymnasium. None of the old teachers were there, which made an entirely different aspect. A few graduates of '19, who had taken up teaching, were there, however, and welcomed us warmly. Consequently it was with great reluctance that we departed. Boarding a car in front of the School, we encountered the last of our High School acquaintances, Helen Knight, a conductorette. She was the same old Helen and our journey would not have been complete if we had not met her. Earl W. Nicklas l Edmund N aylon 7

Ah! But the Senior: Jacques Spratt possessed none of the capacity to consume adipose for the purpose of appeasing the craving for nutrition, His correlative inclined not to assuage her appetite with tabid alburninous, Thus betwixt the espoused ones, The platter was freed from foreign, pernicious substances by the employ- ment of the lingual ribbon. 9
