The last we heard of Harry Stark he was acting the part of Le Beau in “As You Like It.” The career of Marion Richardson will doubtless be crowned with success, Among all the musicians of this wide land perhaps she’ll be known as the very best; We’ve only one bit of advice to give (which would be entirely needless for some), May she follow the Spectator’s mode of life and study herself entirely dumb. Ray Barse, of us all, is most influential Insured for ten thousand in the old “Prudential;” But greater fame waits on this owner of acres, If he’ll only remember “Blest are the peacemakers.” THE CLASS MEMORIAL On the evening of Friday, April 17th, the Senior class gave their annual entertainment to raise money for the class memorial. The entertainment was the most artistic and enjoyable one given in the Assembly Hall for years; the hall and stage were decorated with bunting and Oriental drapery; the programs were printed in most attractive style, being designed by Earle Lawler. The arrangements for the entertainment were made by Dwight Bell, chairman, Earle Lawler, Claude Rossman, Blanche Scallen, Clara Friedheim. The proceeds went to pay for the beautiful clock which the class decided to leave as a memorial to the school. The clock is 32 x 33 inches in size, with an 18-inch dial, upon which is painted in large letters, “ ’03,” and the motto, “Labor est non cassus.” The case is of solid mahogany, carved with fluted pillars on each side, the whole clock in the finest harmony of finish and design. As a work of art and utility, and as a most appropriate memorial of the class of 1903, the clock will hang in the hall for years to come, seen and appreciated by all. 29

Hildegard Ott and Edith Olin are pursuing knowledge to its utmost heights. They always were very studious at school. From common clay, as statues great arise, Just so Frank Clay has risen to great fame; And as a Master Mechanic most wise, Has won himself an honored, lasting name. Zoe Donaldson has won world wide renown by the publication of her latest work entitled “The Pleasures of Travel.” Fannie Zimmerman makes fudge for those sly “U” girls to give to their “bests.” The fame of Irving Robitshek’s hard-headed business sagacity and ability as a successful manager has extended so far as to cause a lucrative offer to be made him which we understand he has accepted. It is a position as manager of an “Old Ladies’ and Orphans’ Home” in Eastern New York. Carl Huntington is a second Will Honeycomb. The trouble with Carl was, he was never content to confine his attentions to one. The Misses Mason, Essie and Maud Are both attaining praise and laud. They both are artists of great renown, And are soon to come back to their native town. Their prices will be within everyone’s reach, For they’re now painting minatures at $300 each. Harry Higgins is prospering and at night when he returns from his office in the Chamber of Commerce, he assists any high school student who finds difficulty with Greek nouns. But Fannie Higgins developed a severe case of the sofa pillow mania and ever since she graduated she has done nothing but make cushions of every conceivable size, shape and color. Since Reuben’s appearance in the “Shakespeare” at school, He’s continually taken the part of a “fool Without doubt he will in the world be known, If he’ll just let writing poems alone. 28

ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’03 VERY individual, every institution, every or- ganization, has some life-history, good, bad or indifferent, according to its character, and this record of its existence is well recorded in the annals of the great historian Time. No one will dispute that of all histories, of past or present, that of an United States is the youngest, most remarkable, greatest and best. It is, therefore, with an intense sense of pride and keen enjoyment, that, reviewing our life as a banded union, we find it almost an exact parallel to that of the glorious Stars and Stripes.” The population of our mother country “Educatio” grew in ever increasing numbers year by year, and as the most important states, as for instance, Washington, Adamsburgh and Irvingsdale, were especially overcrowded, their respective governors decided to send out a colony to immortalize their fame and honor in a new land. So they called the citizens all together and explained to them that they had ordered an expert phrenologist who should, after making thorough examination of the great array of heads, choose therefrom those possessing bumps” of business capacity, of industry, of government, of law-making, of good citizenship in general. The examinations lasted a week and at the expiration of that time, about 200 young people with the pilot of Faith and with Hope as anchor, sailed for the harbors of their new field of labor and joy, called South-Hye (a word derived from the Chinese). Some of our members got so very lonesome away from their mother” that nothing would do but that they return home; others, again sought elsewhere to shine in their glory, for had they stayed, we brighter stars would have outshone them, and :30
