ers and artists to issue an interesting periodical, prospective farmers, teachers and scientists and even promising actors?” “Yes, Miss Clock, my little Willie caused me much trouble yesterday by looking cross-eyed as he had seen a Junior boy do. His eyes got stuck and I sprained his tail trying to shake them back into place. Oh, dear me, I must go now, I hear the children crying. I suppose the baby fell into that ink-well. Good-bye, Miss Clock.’ ‘'My-my-my, I'm glad 1 didn’t marry that thermometer. I would rather rear the whole class of ‘iyio’ with its thirty boys and girls, than one of those mice. Well, I suppose I’ll miss the Seniors next year, but '1910' will take their place and I will be completely satisfied.” Mb. Stai.kek. 27

“1910” By Ida Ammon. ’10. “Good-evening, Miss Mouse, come right in and make yourself at home. I’m glad you came, for I have l een so lonesome I thought it would he a relief to have all those youngsters gone, but it is just as usual —I find that I think more of them every vear. “Well, dear Miss Clock, I realize you must he lonely, for even I, with all my familv of children, miss the young folks although they set had examples for my hovs and girls. Children pick up all the injurious habits so quickly. Now yesterday I found my oldest daughter, Marie, stuck tight in one of those test tubes. She thought it would make a very striking empire gown and then she had stuck a lot of cobweb tin her head and I had to cut her hair off to get the mess loose—all because siie wanted to look like the High School girls.” “Yes, sometimes I am glad that I stayed single, even though I might have married a blue-blooded thermometer. If I had a family. I should never rear it in a schoolroom, and yet. those High School boys and girls are dear to me. I hate to have them go every year—but I'm glad the class of 1910 will be here next year. “Of all the classes in school it is the most interesting to me. When those youngsters entered High School there were fifty in the class and such a class! At the end of a month it was organized and reorganized bv all for some of the enterprising girls bought bargain counter treasures in royal purple and silver gray ribbons and retailed them at exhorbi-tant prices; thus enriching the class treasury and furnishing much amusement for the upper classmen. No one could give those Freshmen advice, for they did not need it, as was sho yn in the ability with which t.iev carried on their business. “They soon began to show their worth in the athletic field and the school room. They were well represented both on the track and football teams and their star students left all the other scholars far behind. In their exhibition at the close of school those Freshmen had the most artistic and well ordered exhibit, for the girls worked early and late for the glory of their class.” In its Sophomore year “1910” was much smaller in size, but still it had the best of officers and a fine array of athletes and capable students. The principal events in that were the celebration of John Van Buren, Jr.'s birth and the Sophomore picnic. 'Hie former event strengthened the school spirit, while the latter strengthened “1910” constitution, as well as its spirit. That year the class lost several of its members but gained a few new pupils who made up for the losses, if not in number, then in size. “This year ‘1910’ still holds its honor and although it has done nothing of great moment yet, it bids fair to accomplish wonders in the future. Why, Mrs. Mouse, do you realize that in the class of ‘1910’ there are musicians enough to form an orchestra; enough amateur writ- 26
