UNION HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. CLASS POEM. I Oh, we four are the size of the class of ’09— In brilliance and gray matter we always shine; We’re the best behaved class in the whole big high school, And we never were known to transgress any rule. II. Annie Hillier’s the first one, and here let me state That she’s longing for Canada early and late; She’s as modest and shy as a sweet violet, And such calmness and kindness I’ve never seen yet. III. The next one of notice is Beatrice Pugh— She’s been honest and amiable all the year through She abhors all disorder (of course that is right,) And cleans out her desk both at morning and night. IV. Then Madeleine Hill is the next one in line, With a brow intellectual and eyes that are fine; In amateur shows she gets nothing but praise. And she’ll make a good actress on one of these days. V. The last one of mark in this notable roll Is the author of this insignificant scroll. Her likes and dislikes are too many to state, But to be an old spinster is surely her fate. VI. There are those in our class that you’ll hear of again— They’ll do noble deeds both with sword and with pen; And so to the public we bid an adieu, Till some of these long-hoped-for pipe-dreams come true. —R. b. S. ’09 12

UNION HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. Cl. 1b. S. Dramatic Club. Cbe dramatic Club. The Dramatic Club of the Union High S-di 1 his been doing especially commendable work this winter. UnJer the able management of Mr. Delay, who has taken many of the parts too difficult for the High School students, the work has been remarkably successful. Miss Madeleine Hill and Miss Dottie Pugh, having h rl m re experience in amateur theatricals than the others, did well indeed. The other members of the club, however, stu lied their parts diligent'15' and made a splendid appearance. The last play given, “The Importance of Being Earnest,” was very much appreciated by everyone. It showed excellent talent and good interpretation of the various parts. The next, “A Travestie on Macbeth,” which appears on Monday, May 17, is very laughable and will certainly be well received. The training along these lines is of great value to the young people, for it tends greatly to strengthen the memory and give them self-possession when appearing before the public. 14 W.G. T. ’10.
