tertainment and dance in the sky-parlor. Surely it arouses in our minds faint recollections of soft music, bright gas lights, a flutter of airy white dresses, mingling in a great crush, and tall, shy looking young fellows, standing along the wall too timid to ask the girls to dance? Were not some of the most lasting friendships formed then? The popular boys and girls of 715 date their first lltriumphs,l from that auspicious evening. Other dances, and boatiritles. and eandy-pulls followed throughout the lirst two years, of which we always came in for our full quota. Last year is still somewhat fresh in our meni- nries, and some of us remember what an event it was to get back a test paper in Physics; an event which never failed to reduce the tempera- ture in spite of its frequency. Speaking of re- duced temperature, reminds me of something. Friends and classmates, do we solemnly promise never to tell of the times we have seen a gay or diligent student, who. When hurrying clown Ash land avenue on an icy morning. was attacked by a fit of weariness, a fit 50 very sudden, that his or her feet would, well would what? At any rate the bag of books would skim down the ice, and he 01- she would perhaps follow it a short distance, without the aid of the disohliging feet. Do we promise, I say, not to tell all of those things after we have gone? Chorus: I suppnse n 50. To pick ourselves up off the ice and return to our more scholarly reHections. An athletic ex- hibition; the annual boat-ride, intermixed with literature, mathematics, debates and French 15 plays, and now you see us ready to make stump speeches whenever occasion shall demand. I think we all agree that the last year has passed most quickly at all. We heive given some at- tention to the food problem; ltlunches being frequent occurrences. How many pieces of fudge did you eat when you'ihelped till the bags? Our A grade dance was a thing of beauty, and a joy forever.n and we hope that we were more graceful on that occasion than we have often been in the HLab, upon intelligently picking up hot evaporating dishes. to observe the real salt we had made. Let 115 reflect, O, sage Seniors, upon our past sins of commission and omission. and such reflections will undoubtedly carry us to that very Laboratory. Here it is that. having buckled on our armor fgingharn apronsl, we have cracked testetubes. upset water. not to mention acid. weighed things with every result but the correct one, and in short, created a weekly pan- demeninmi But what's done is done. and we now, with one accord; both boys and girls, wish our best good wishes for all our enduring and sympathetic teachers. and our progressive class- mates. The time has come when we must part with our friends and comrades, and after a hand-shake all round. we descend the school steps prepared to mount steeper and more difficult ones in the world. May we keep the friends we have found, for each friend helps us to build the ladder by which we climb, and to hold up our motto of 'tForward ever Forward. ALICE CAREY, ELIZABETH DRUKKER.

The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Five ummm .Hdelante, J'iempre, .Hdelante. WWW Wm T HAS been said that the happiest lives are those without a history; but we do not be- lieve that this is true of classes, for our class is happy. and has a history, This history began one day in the September of 11ml. when a jolly crowd of boys and girls ascended the steps ot ll'alnnt Hills High School. That first day will long be remembered by many of us as an eventful one in our lives. for we ex, perienced a feeling of despair and awe Wilul we found ourselves lost in the spacious halls of the building, of which now every nook and corner is so familiar. Vx'e, the joyful members of the class of 1905, claim the distinction of hating eri- tered in the very first year of the Twentieth Cen- tury. During our first year we entertained no hard feelings against our reverend seniors. juniors and sophomores. for almost crushing the little D grader into a corner of the hall, aml preventing him from buying his daily bread. with ham and mustard, at the lunch counter. inexperienced mortals then, and. not knowing our teachers well. did our star-gazing from afar. Ours was not one of those Classes to be crushed out of existence. for we felt that there were high duties in life for us to perform. Thus we always fulfilled our school motto 'tSm'smn ad Slurmuzm. er Were little But to Latin, French and Greek. All those languages we speak. 14 It would be vain to tell of the trials and tribu- lations that we all went through in trying to make some sense out of our Latin lesson for the morrow. Hmvever. we must not lament the try- ing hours which we spent in cramming. for there were hundreds of others before us who did the same thing, and there will be generations of others after us to do it After returning to school in the autumn from our first and happy vacationl we brought a greater amount of vigor and increased energy, which gave us confttlenee for our new studies. Sometimes after working a profound proposition, which nearly brought the grey hairs to our heads, we took our way in a great hurry and Hurry. t0 the Gym. Oh. that dear. delightful, exciting Gym. where so many bells of recreation were spent in obtaining bumps of knowledge by jumping over horses, manipulating Indian clubs. and performing the most wonderful feats that can be conceived of. As we look upon the splen- clid physiques of our boys: the coming Deweys and Roosevelts. and the lithe. willowy forms of our co-etls, the Dianas and Minervas of the future. we feel that we owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Knoch. But to the pleasures! In justice to our sisters and brothers who preceded us, we must not for- get the gay festivities that we partook of when u- were Sophomores. Look back to a night when the Seniors of 1903 tended us a grand en-
