the members had brought fudge, which added greatly to the attraction of the club. In one in- stance a box was overturned and the boys ran gallantly to the rescue QI wonder whyj so that the candy was all q?j put back in short order. Our boys have always had the reputation of not be- ing bashful. How unusual. The girls in the gymnasium were doing splendid work. A line basket-ball team was formed and the players received the hearty support of their class. Murial and Adele won their laurels here. About this time the class of '04 gave their Senior play, the first of its kind ever given in the school. As a class we were very much interested in the presentation and the outcome of the play, as we hoped to be able to give one ourselves when we became ff dignified Seniors. During this year our class was initiated into the delights f?j of declamations, the iirst time we had had this course in our school work. The necessary instructions were given by Miss Frost, and we were told that every Friday the special help period would be devoted to declamations. We were also told that if we did not present our pieces on time we should have the pleasure and opportunity of speaking twice instead of only once. Happily, most of us presented on time. Some of us were so shy and physically q?p unable to declaim that we tried to enlist the doctor's sympathies, and get a certiiicate from him, the only way in which we could be excused, but all to no avail g the Fates were against us-declaim we must, and declaim we did. At first it was a hard ordeal, but we gradually became used to it and know it has been of great benefit to us, thanks to the untiring effort of Miss Frost. Poor Edith, when it came her turn to speak she went up on the platform in borrowed shoes, and the result was disastrous. As for Raymond, they say he had to eat yeast cakes in order to pre- sent on time. George made a marked success in his line and the class was ever proud of their ff little oratorf' In this eventful year, our Musical Director, Mr. Boyd, organized a High School orchestra in which our class was well represented. This proved a success and added greatly to our school interest. YVe had quite a change in our teachers after returning from our annual April vacation. Our instructor in chemistry, Mr. Oliver P. XVatts, presented his resignation and left for the Uni- versity of WVisconsin, where he was to spend some time in studying for some special work. Mr. VVooster had been substituting for Mr. Watts, and now took his place, proving himself equal to the occasion in every instance. Edna was his chief advisor. Another change took place in our English course. Miss Matthews, whom we all loved dearly even though she had been with us so short ai time, left, and Miss Alice Smith took her place. Miss Smith gained our sympathies at once, and we enjoyed our English very much for the rest of the year. The C H division did enjoy their botany class this year. WVe dissected more flowers and drew more pictures in one allotted time than any other class ever did. Ask Miss Pratt. lVe used to! wonder how she could be so patient when the botany attractions, for some of us, were more enticing out of doors than those inside. Katherine used to study the outside things much better than those inside. And how we did love to feed those horn-pout, much to the consternation of our teacher who had especially stated the hours for their regular meals. I guess they never got enough to eat for we always noticed they would eat at any time. Isnlt that so, Harriet? Our outdoor trips in Botany we enjoyed immensely, especially the trip that we took to Read- ing. Such fun as we did have, and such exciting things did happen. Even the people bowed to us as we drove by, and one goat was so pleased to see us that he wagged his tail in response to one of the girls, who bowed to him. There was only one poor boy in the party. Nevertheless, Sher- man did manage beautifully, but Marion received all the surplus attention. W'e came home from that trip loaded down with valuable specimens, and a resolution in our minds to study botany better every day, and we did. During this year our dear classmate Grace E. Hardy was taken ill. The class manifested their regard for her by sending her a number of boquets to cheer the sick room. 4
