We still have the captain of the football team in our class. We hope to see F—s—er in the interscholastic debates next spring. Young B—nn—tt has graduated into long trousers at last. Have you noticed the way the Freshmen act dig- nified? We arc glad to see Foster in his high position on the Radiator staff. Hodgdon is a graceful dancer, so they say. How many will sing in Mr. Hadley's musicale next winter, if such a thing should happen? Tl Arthur Leighton. Class Editor. The class election resulted as follows: President, Lawrence Caldwell; vice-president, Ruth Dillon; secretary, Frank Fallis; treasurer, Austin Pierce; executive committee, John Glover and John Laurie.

Pure, wholesome amusement: Watch Pierce laugh. Curly” Lawrence has recently purchased the latest thing in lavender socks. P—tt—son and W—1—n are the latest recruits in the long trousers army. T2 Oliver Churchill. Class Editor. Three cheers for the Freshmen of 1912, Three cheers for the boys and the girls. For they are here to work with a will. And trim the Sophomore boys and girls. Freshmen of 1912, we are just beginning our four years of study at a school that stands high amongst the foremost of this state, and one that has graduated many a class: let us now highly resolve that we will not fall below the standard set by past classes, that have passed out of the doors of their Alma Mater. Following are the class elections: President, Robert Garland; vice-president. Edward Little; treasurer. William O’Connell: secretary, Agnes Cameron. If our treasurer is tardy some morning, it will be plainly understood that his sister mislaid her curling irons. L- dry is fast becoming a pet in Room II X. He is a regular little lady. Freshmen not attending a dancing school will find it hard to purchase their dogs” at Harry’s, as it requires a certain amount of gracefulness.
