10 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL. History of the Class of 06. ND it came to pass during the latter clays of the reign of McKinley, The Good, that upon the first day of the week, early in the morning there came unto the Old Central Building, fifty stalwart youths and comely maidens. And they all entered in and found a certain one, Mr. Geary, a man of power. Moreover, they were much perplexed whether to take the straight and narrow road which leadeth unto the land of Latin or the broad path which leadeth to the palace of German, when behold two stood before them in shining raiment and gave them advice.

And again it came to pass that on the seventh day of the second month of the year of rejoicing, even the hundredth year of the Louisiana Purchase, one of their number Ethel, daughter of Burckhart, spoke unto the class saying: “ Come ye all unto my house.” And so soon as they heard this they took therefore two chariot horses and the leader sent after the host saying: “ Come let us go up and possess the good things which the land affords.” And on the twenty- third day of the second month in the same year it came to pass that they were royally entertained in the house of Mabel, daughter of Ray, the same being a Leap Year Gathering. And after these things, the closing events of the year were a journey of the
