Qur school days have been busy, happy ones and they make us look forward with pleasure to the life be- books lies the soul of the Wfhole Past Time: the articulate, audible voice of the Past. when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream. Perhaps the most inspiring books are those which tell about the lives of famous peo- fore us. ple.

A In the late Tom L. Now, is it not a waste Y,q, 5 if .Iohnson's book, The - --' ff f' t of time to read books which give us nothing to . think about and no in- ,ff ' ' , gag' . formation, when other 5 is books, written in just , Story of My Life, we feel very keenly the in- domitable power and will which fought so long and splendidly to as interesting a style, are at hand? For instance, we all know the bare history of the Civil NVar, the dates of the battles and the number of men killed, fvwlzajvs, but how many of us ever realized the human, the personal, the utterly sad part of it all until We had read such books as The Crisis or Tarbell's Life of Lin- coln ? NVe learn the facts of Roman his- tory, but it takes The Last Days of Pompeiil' to make us realize that real peo- ple lived at that time who felt in just the same way that we feel. These books are more interesting than many purely im- aginative stories, because they give the spirit of the past. XVe surely owe much to these books and we realize our debt, the more We read them. As Carlyle says: In conquer at last, and the thought comes to us, that if he could iight against great odds so bravely, surely we can tight and conquer our petty daily troubles. Reading the lives of such people as Alice Freeman Palmer, Booker T. Xlfashington. Thomas A. Edison, Lord Nelson, or Daniel XVebster incites us to accomplish things as they did. As one of the great uses of books is to arouse a good ambition in us, surely those books are most useful to us which have that intiuence. One good result of reading standard authors, such as Dickens and others who portray human nature wonderfully well, is the interest it gives us in people round about us. NVe like to watch them and see wherein they resemble characters with SALUTATORY whom we have become familiar through our reading. Everyone has met a Micawber. always waiting for something to turn up a Mrs. Micawber, who will never desert Mr. Micawberf' a beautiful little Nell, with someone depending upon her: a splen- did Agnes, ready to be a good angel to some David, and even a Uriah Heep, who is al- ways 'umblef' lVhen we are alone in a crowd, we feel much less lonely if we can amuse ourselves by finding the types of people about which we have read. Another result of good reading is the ability to discuss interesting subjects in an interesting manner and with enjoyment. A mutual enjoyment of books immediately gives a common bond of interest. Through another's eyes, we see the book in new light. If it is worth while, there are usually social conditions, characters or historical events to talk over. By this means, we gain a new insight into life and broaden our interests. No one is pleasanter to meet than the person who has read books on varied subjects and who enjoys talking about them. Then, too, historical novels are good sources from which to get the history of the times about which they are written, in a pleasant way. 3 From this it must not be inferred that we have not noticed, appreciated, and taken advantage of the progressive movement in our school during the last four years. Im- been made and we have not been blind to them. The Athletic Field is filling a long-felt need in portant strides forward have giving the school its own ground for all kinds of sports: an excellent equipment for presenting dramas in our own hall is surely a splendid additiong then, a vocational bureau has been formed to help those who wish, to hnd congenial workg the courses of study have be-eu enlarged and a great advance in Domestic Science and Physical Culture has been made. In the last two years, also, we have had the privilege of hearing men in the different professions as well as in business, tell about their work. Thus, we have had the advantage of listen- ing to a number of inspiring, live talks. Yet we believe that the reading of good books is essential and fundamental in any scheme of education in every age. More- over, there is a danger of forgetting this. especially today, when public school educa- tion tends so strongly toward the utilitarian. So our apology for speaking on this old- fashioned subject is-- Lest we forget. A A14 tm on -NN , 'H 2 9, Q0 I E K I E, I7 jf Q QL 5 f :J If E EAA L! -alibi Mic EQ7 'YSQ ,wg CLASS OF 1912 Valedictor ATHERTQN MQNRQE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :- mo-dern high schools are equipping young people with all the knowledge that books contain, still they are not equipping enough with that important ab- straction which books also contain, culture. There is, therefore, an evident lack of refine- ment in the deportment of many high school pupils. This deficiency has two chief sources, one, inside, the other outside of the school. The damming of these springs is not, of course, wholly within the power of the school, but it is in its power to lay a firm foundation upon which the pupil may construct his retaining walls. The causes of the lack of culture which issue from the internal source are these: the strong tendency of the pupil to master merely the text of his assignments, the practical courses, and lastly, the too great scarcity of teachers who are innately polished 'and who are interested in teaching gentility as well as X plus Y equals 3. The difficulty on the part of the pupil lies here: he does not see the interesting or the educational points. He goes about his work with the sole idea of satisfying the teacher, rather than with the design of instructing himself. He does not realize that the school is for his good, not for the teacher's, and that if he does not make the best use of it, he is doing himself an injury. This is a fundamental principle, which, when thoroughly understood, will make school life much pleasanter. In the practical courses, culture is present, although more deeply hidden, just enough so that the average student fails to get it, and, therefore, has only bones when he should have meat. Because of this fact, the pupil is likely to go through life but poorly nourished, unless he helps himself to the best. The most efficient rem- edy is, then, to mix the practical and the cul- tural evenly, that the pupil may be furnished with both meat and bone in their most beneficial combination. Now let us consider the teacher's part. It is easy to imagine the time when the teaching forces of our schools will be recruited largely from the first generation of the educated, unless something is done to make the profession worth while to the second generation. If we cease to have families of teachers, if the sons and daughters of professional men, the cultured, the refined, no longer find teaching to their liking, it would be well to look into the causes, remedy them, and so save much inherited and acquired culture for the schoo-l. If this 1'Cl:111C1'1'161'llI could be thus saved, the evident need of it, as men- tioned above, would be partly obviated. The external causes of the lack of culture are the street, and extreme athleticism. By the street, we mean its associations. For instance, when a person spends his spare time on the street, lounging up and down, VALEDICTORY loitering in the doorways, or dawdling on the corner, we know that such a person is not receiving much culture, simply because the street is not a center of rehnement. The school, of course, has no control over one except in school hours, as a result, the little polish acquired daily in the school- room is tarnished by the vulgar atmosphere of the street. In the same way, home cul- ture is destroyed. It is very evident that when the street has a warm room in the heart, culture has an icy corner in the mind. An attack of extreme athleticism is not so diflicult to treat, it is simply an over- indulgence in sport. lt is a lesser evil than loahng, yet will do much harm if left un- watched. It is a well-known fact that the language of the athletic world is not ele- gant, that the manners are not polished, that the conduct there is not refined. Then, on the part of some athletes, there is a striving for newspaper fame that is very apt to drive cultivation away. Oftentimes a per- son in such a case will throw everything else, culture included, aside, for the sake of newspaper notoriety. It is surely a great price to pay for such a returns The worst effect of both these evils is obvious: they shut out the taste for relined companions and instructive reading, and lead clearly to a loss of gentility, which, to- gether with knowledge, sho-uld be an aid to I ' Q progress. A rough path may be shaped by blindly smashing through life with the pon- derous, blunt sledge-hammer of practicality, but a smooth highway may be constructed with that same hammer, augmented by the keen edge of culture. Reiinement always aids its possessor. Culture may be acquired in various ways, one of the best of which is by direct contact with the best minds among men, a means not so universal as reading, but more broad- ening in its effect. In our dealings with such men, we hear the best language, find the best manners, receive the best ideas, brieiiy, we see culture pictured before us on canvas of the same general weave as our own, but painted much more delicately and harmonically: the impression received, too, is far clearer than that of any book, deeper than that of a printed page, far more edu- cational than that of mere words. Conse- quently, in our contact with these master- pieces, the paint, the culture, rubs off, as it were, without harming the original, and contributes toward the betterment of our own portrayal of refinement. Culture, knowledge, knowledge, culture, they work best side by side, let us remem- ber then, as we pass on, that knowledge and culture are also truth, and that truth con- quers! lx! 1 X Q36 wht!-fqagoo ?

Prophecy of the Class of 1912 0 the casual observer it must seem pathetic, exasperating and embarras- sing that I, a humble and a peaceful citizen, should insolently vaunt myself the most sensible person along the entire course of the river Charles, and immediately thereafter i aver my immaculate modesty. Nevertheless, these are factsg and I facts have proof. Un the thirteenth instant of this preceding month, the mighty Charles turn- ed over in his bed. All Vlfaltham was shaken by the shock. But, I hum- bly assert and do sol- emnly attest that I, and I only, was sensible to the shock, and that I only was consciously shocked, although it is asserted that at some time between the hours of twelve and one that night, as the water began to flow up instead of down the dam, the machinery of the Boston Manufacturing Company, which by the way is run by wateri- power, did for a while go backwards, and instead of turning out the usual woolen stuffs, turned out instead lambs, with the first letter slightly modified. It is also said that at about this time the Compasses of the good ship Hercules did for a while point every which way, but this I ascribe more to the violent somnambulistic delusions which Captain Cobb was about this time under- going than to the disturbance of the water. He was stealing bases in the Newton game. But how, why, or wherefore I sho-uld be abroad at this ghastly hour is not for the vulgar ken and inquiring looks of men. Sufhce to say, here I was, with the stiff, bending rows of artificial lights receding into the distance and the prancing ripples playfully reliecting the cream-like effusion of my stern light. Irresistibly I dangled my hand in the mellow waters. The boat waved gently up and do-wn, for that ever efficient and sufficient body, known as the Illetropolitan Park Commission, were in- dustriously engaged in dredging a grape-arbor in the cemetery. I glid- ed softly on. Then- horrible d i c t u - th e above mentioned shock occurred, and a most horrible prodigy pre- sented itself to my eyes. As sometimes a muddy stream cleaves the bank of a snow-white course and pollutes this stream with its sluggish waters, my hand destroyed the sparkling purity of our delightful Charles. At this ominous sight a terrible faintness overcame me while the all-sympa- thetic eyes of heaven twinkled in silent mirth at my most child-like horror. Then my hand and eyes were overcome by an indescribable itching and smarting and I was compelled to rub them. No sooner had my dripping hand lent its moisture to my burning eye-balls than a blinding flash al- most destroyed my vision. Even now when I stare at the starry heavens, a bright glare stretches across the sky, and it still strange- ly affects my eyes to stare at the sun. Then gradually the glaring blindness was swept away from my eyes and the bright light seemed to melt into the form of a PROPH ECY fiourishing suburb of a great city of the middle of the twentieth century, and I rec- ognized in the green outlines the growing city of VValtham. The season was about the beginning of summer, when the noisy bees in the bright, blossoming gardens vie with each other in their errands of diligence, and tirelessly chant their nasal refrains on frugality and husbandry. XVith buoyant spirits and with footsteps lighter than Day, too happy for artificial aid, I stretched my ambulatory segments and at- tacked the city by a most circuitous route. I was amply repaid for my pains: for as I approached the city in the course of the North VVind, a series of explosions shocked my ears. I stepped back and scanned the horizon. Many stone-throw's distant, bath- ing his feet in the Cambridge XVater Basin and sitting on the rocky crest of Prospect Hill, was our lofty and respected president, james Frederic VVright Clark. Exuberant at the sight of one sympathetic mortal, he churned the rocky waters in delight. He smiled from ear to ear, and modulated these words in his cupped hands: Oh dear and long lost brother, welcome back to our midst! The way of the world is hard, but the weight of the icemen is worse. Rejoice in your heart, and all is well. Cf course, such an inquisitive individual as I could not refrain from asking foolish questions. He was in the employ of the Edison Electric Light Company, making light of bad matters. Wfhat these bad mat- ters were he did not say, but I could easily imagine. He had put Atlas out of business by standing on his earthen pedestal and shoving the sky up several hundred feet, and that poor worthy had died between sor- row and joy at the loss of his life-long oc- cupation. Of course, this was a rare streak of luck for the undertakers, but a poor day for Frederic. Henceforth Frederic must support the sky which, indeed, left him little enough to support a family. He had displayed his aggressive and enterprising disposition by making a corner on the sun for his employers, which, al- though it severely burned his thumb and forefinger, made a fortune for his firm. Fred didn't stop to take the shells off the peanuts! No!! He could easily clean out a bakery at one sitting. But he could at a pinch be appeased by such articles as apple- trees and the like. Of the first he would spit out the roots which, being chewed up fine, made excellent kindling wood, while animals he ate much as we eat apples, spit- ting out the skin at each mouthful. He was the terror of aeronauts, from whose ma- chines he would eat the wings and whom, to their great alarm, he would drop from some fabulous height to certain, sudden death, only to save them by sticking out his leg to watch them slide down his shin and glide off his big to-e, for like the great Gunga Din of yore, a twisty piece of rag and a goat-skin water-bag was all the field equip- ment 'e could find that was anyway near big enough. The reason for his great size, he said, was a slight mistake he had made when back in the high school while trying to find out what Hydrogen Sulph-ate. XVith his peculiar guttural .sounds he directed me to every member of our glorious class and promised me his well-wishes and even as- sistance. Thrice he spat lustily upon his hands and anointed my head with the same. A strange power came over me and I was able to render myself either visible or invisible as desire and necessity came upon me. Light of heart and limb I ad- vanced and turned my attention to our charming secretary and treasurer. There she sat in the chimney-corner in a ripe, old age, or rather in a rocking chair worn out with old age, her cheeks glowing in the light and heat of a smouldering fire, also, perhaps, in the excitement obtained from dashing off harmless-looking little notes en- titled, Class of 1912, Dr., Szoof' If your name was on it, blush, but blushing won't PROPHECY ever get the class a red cent. At her dainty feet lay a half finished manuscript entitled, BarryCersj Burst Away, or Moody's Glooin in a Gloomy Moodf' and Prom- enading as a FINE Art. Here she was after a somewhat turbulent passage on Life's uncertain course. She still retained her ro-sy cheeks and genial smile which was wont to broaden into a grin as she told of a certain little notice appearing on the board in Room 19: If Jack Frost paid his class dews, would Jeannette Daboll ? But there is money in our midst. Law- rence says there is great money in Al-hens. Verily, we believe you, Lawrence, but bad news, like bad eggs, should be broken gently. Pst! Lawrence, Rachel Sawyer! By the way, Claribel and Lawrence are en- gaged in the production of hens and hen- kind out on Bacon street, where Allen is continually startling the world with his strange discoveries. Qnly yesterday he an- nounced that he had found a yoke of oxen in a hard boiled egg. Notice that we say hard bo-iled, for we had quite an argu- ment with Lawrence over the same, and finally arrived at the conclusion that a hardly boiled egg is not the required result. But for the benefit of history in general let me state that Lawrence always preferred teacher's understudying to studying under teachers. And Warren, too, had other Ames. The youngest died last week, leaving one soli- tary aim-self destruction. He said it was because he couldn't make Alice VVheelerg but then, we don't know. Perhaps you thought Alice was intended for another! But this is as we found them, and sew is so and fairs are fouls, if you didn't see the umpire last. And what became of Fred Stearns, you ask! Oh! after breaking the Edison record for distinct speaking into a phonograph horn, Fred accepted an import- ant diplomatic position in Turkey, and was finally adopted by the Kaliph. As he found this life very congenial, he settled down there and wrote several exhausting treatises on Shakespeare. Now for Alfred Paul Behrman, that worthy who, it is asserted by one of our illustrious contemporaries, attained his highest degree of development at the age of fourteen and thenceforth lived in a state of child-like innocence. True to his nature, disposition and inclination, boys will be boys and Alfy is Alfy. VVhen I saw him he was in the same old business. He was running a nursery. He was, however, at that time making a specialty of Geometries and Ambushes. He said there was money in both, and of course I believed him. But we always suspected Alfy of medical in- clinations: he was such a good German. But that was probably spoiled by sitting so near that Brackett. Richard, by the way, was enjoying the sweet distinction of being the lirst Speaker of the House from Wal- tham. His famous speech to the School Board denouncing the study of Latin in the public schools is now read all over the country, and Richard with his fetching smile and manly tread is Speaker of the House-er, that is, he is supposed to be. But you can imagine how much Richard would say with Louise Taylor in the same House. Lucy, too, had gathered world- wide note in her famous fight for the quart- measure, abolition of drying towels, and by her third oration asking how much the im- provement of our water-ways. But still the end is not always governed at the start. Take Richard Burckes, for in- stance. Although he was always good at making faces, who ever suspected such an inattentive, mischievous scamp as Dicky of making watches. But perhaps it was through -the second virtue, for, as his card signified, we found him as Richard Burckes, Vice-president, XValtham XVatch Company. And speaking of Burckes, reminds one of Biscuits Hazel was president of the fa- mous Elysium Club, an amalgamation of live, whose roll embraced Hazel Elizabeth PROPHECY Bistrup, president: Alice Elizabeth Gor- man, secretary: Marion Elizabeth Hines, treasurer, Hazel Elizabeth Hodgman, art- director, and Florence Elizabeth Murphy, vice-president. Their infiuence in XValtham social and political social circles was second only to that of Nellie Barry and the Wfal- tham NVoman's Club: while their specific ,sphere was reviving and restoring the Elizabethan Era. As a sort of a side issue they conducted a huge department store on Felton street. Its surrounding scenery was superb. Un one side, one was reminded of the pleasures of our school-life by the grind- ing of the Barry Lumber Mill. A sweet, effervescent fragrance permeated the entire locality and rose, no doubt, from a modest little garden in the background, where to the benefit of her purse and to the satis- faction of the aged city fathers, Hazel Arletta Arneson, successfully bent all her consumate agricultural endowments in the art of raising tracks. Florence Murphy served in the capacity of chief buyer and head of the provision department, while Hazel Bistrup had charge of the candy-counter, where Elysium Kisses seemed to be the chief attraction. I had pushed everybody in the crowd and was starting in pursuit of a middle-aged lady over at the hardware counter whom I had not yet bumped into, when I felt a tickling sensation on my right foot. I cast my eyes to the ground and beheld the ad- vance-guard of one of Kearsley's feet. In desperate haste I mounted an adjacent stool and awaited the arrival of its owner. After a brief cessation of hostilities, during which I reviewed and applauded the many counter attacks, Bert hove into sight. His nose was smeared with blood, while little pieces of glass sparkled playfully on the dark back- ground of his gorgeous Prince Albert coat, and my glance slipped on a daub of caked soup as I stared at the otherwise spotless and glaring shirt front, the poor position of which I ascribed to its poor bringing up. Hardware, first fioorg underwear, elevator to the next floorg glassware, third fioorg silverware, fourth fioorg and an unsur- passed toy annex on the seventh floor. Luncheon served every half hour, and double, illegal stamps every Friday after- noon. If the goods don't suit, don't bring them back. Count your change, please, be- fore you leave the counter, ma'm, quoth liearsley, tempo accelerando manner, pat- ting his delicate, golden locks. Then turn- ing abruptly on his heel, he tore up half a dozen tickets to a grand opera. In a frenzy I embraced his knees as a suppliant and en- treated him to show me a-bout. He laugh- ingly tossed me a couple of tickets to the Randles-johnson fight that evening. Sec- ond floor, third counter to the right, he an- nounced by habit and bid me come on. XYe found Hazel Hodgman skillfully drawing water in the art-department, and Lillian Barker in the medical department, making a specialty of window panes and hour-glasses. Marion Hines had charge of the Mens Furnishings Departmentg and it was here that I met a Munroe and Fletcher, the only two male members of the firm. Atherton, who had while in our midst pre- pared to study naval designing at Tech, was engaged in the crockery department designing vessels. He had caused a co-m- plete metamorphoses in the medical world by the publication of his startling theory which enjoyed world-wide fame under the name of Munroe Doctoringig but his su- preme desire seemed some day to become a really, truly editor on a really, truly pa- per. Fletcher, on the other hand, suffered considerable fame as a locksmith. He had renewed the auburn locks of john D., and had invented locks which prevented the wearer from losing his head, but his spe- cialty was hemlocks. It was rumored, however, that Frank was not quite right in his head and his own sunny locks were afliicted with decay, this being due from in- jury to the cube-roots formed by patient PLAY CAST SENIOR II -1 , II, I Y I 4 NM Sv '1 Q, - , .1- 5 -1r FU' 11-, We-g4':!, 5111 :1l I1 .1,1 1-15, if IQ I. ,' I-IIIjI1f11'1'1I.,. 1 :I ' ' ' ' V ':. 4 '11-.,I ,111 1- .-' ' ..'.11X ,1, 1 ' .

PROPHECY attendance at Ross' lunch-counter, while the first from super acceleration, they said, caused, aided, and abetted by that delight- ful trip the cast had to Castle Square to see what Romeo and Juliett. I found Herrick Greenleaf running the elevator, which, being a hydraulic affair, ran about as fast as I could walk. I asked him how he was and he said that he was Qdraughtsjman, which in the end I found was merely a dignified way of stating that he was janitor. In sympathy, I lamented his paleness, which I supposed was due to the conhning nature of his work. He re- futed this theory, however, and explained that he had broken his trom-bone. His friends said that, although it was a great thing for the community, it had affected Herrick's reasong but to me Herrick seem- ed better off without his trom-bone. And, speaking of the conhning nature of his work, let me say right here, Dot Buell gave up her position on the police force for this very reason. By the way, her book, Ath- letic Training for School Girls, is almost a classic with a host of endorsers. But to me it seemed simple, nonsensical, and silly to have A. Dorr daubed on an article of the same name. Surely, I thought, they give us credit fo-r that much sense, even if they do assert a strictly cash busi- ness. But I was even more surprised when I saw the interior of the room. There sat Alice, up to her neck in waste-paper, and every here and there overturned ink-bottles lent their gruesome horror to the dismal scene. Disgust boiled in my throat, but I was forced to grin at the awful timidity of my guide. Respect then dulled the edge of contempt as I listened to her wonderful exploits. Her payrole name was Economi- cal Readjuster. It was whispered that she had saved her firm ten times her salary in one year, but her latest innovation, which startled this quiet world, was one whereby she did away with the shirt-waste. Cn the sixth floor I found a unique sale in odd shoes in the process of preparation. VVith dripping brow and upturned sleeves. Mildred Chatterbox Smith flitted here and there between the counters, stopping only long enough, as she encountered me, to ex- plain that tomorrow she would startle the world with a sale of woman's rights. In an isolated corner of the same Hoor I found Pat McCabe. His eyes were concealed by immense smoked glasses, which he was compelled to wear on account of severely strained muscles obtained by four strike- outs in the Arlington game. He was chief salesman of the refrigerator department. As usual, he was keeping very cool. He had enhanced the beauty of a delightful roof-garde.n by the installation and culture of some exquisite cold-storage plants. Their cool and soothing fragrance was the delight of the wearied shopper. From here, after a delightful little repast served by a trim little maid in white, namely Mary Taylor, I descended with breathless haste in the elevator, and I had scarcely emerged from this disreputable street and again set foot upon the concrete ways of Moody street when a most striking spec- tacle smote my vision. Our Principal might well exclaim that he would like to see all the Fyfes in the Assembly Hall. Truly, they were a wonderful sight! At their head strode Harold Eaton and Carl Richards, two lusty coppers with the traditional brass buttons and big feet. Then behind them Huttered a large banner bearing this in- scription, O Ling, Oriental Circus. Be- hind this smiled Irmgarde Oelling herself on a milk white charger, at her right rode Laura Belle Smith, famous for her render- ing of the Jolly Black Smithsg and at her left rode in the guise of Cupid the late lamented Herby Evans, who-sad fate!!- implicitly following instructions, shot him- self in a basket-ball game. Behind these shrieked a noisy brass bandg the bass-drum, supported by Marguerite Daniells, was maliciously beaten by Constance Hicks. PROPHECY Josephine Pelkey played second bass, Mil- dred Harvey, the cymbolsg Lucy Buker, the piccolog Kathryn Havey, the cornetg and Myra Morris and Signa Ridstrom, the ket- tle drums. Ora Govc was drum major. Shortly behind these came the rubber-band. They were mounted on a high wagon and consisted of Gertrude Butterfield, who played the clarinet, Bertha McKenna, the harmonicag Helen Dougherty, the cymbals, and Mary McDonough, the geometry ex- pert, who played the triangles. Every lit- tle while along the route Beatrice Green- leaf mounted a soap box and rooted for woman's rights. Drowning her humble efforts, Bessie Strom shouted through a megaphone: Don't forget the big base- ball game Saturday afternoon at 3.30, Bloomer Girls vs. Athletics. Batteries for today-WILI4 BE: Flossie May Maenche and Edith Eliva Marguerite Kristenson: for the Athletics, Wfilliam Edward Duffy and Tris Speaker. The procession was brought to a close by the shrieks of a noisy steam organ, steered and guided by Helen Bernice Adams. Lost in fond reveries, with my mind's eye I traced the course of the ark, how it had fondly settled on the summit of Mount Prospect and then gracefully slid down into its present cozy nest. It was still there, and I even found the very place, and I even fitted my envied relic into its former posi- tion. The wind and weather had changed the hole but little and it litted the chink to perfection. Mindful of the sanctifying touch of the patriarch Noah, I kissed it in superstitious awe, when a husky looking buzz wagon slid into place alo-ngside of me and a man-shaped creature rushed into the store nearby, muttering something about death and taxis, while I recognized the fea- tures of Stick Day and Charlie Janes in the laughing inmates. Of course, we scraped, salaamed, and grinned, and then my class- mates rushed out, thumped me on the shoulders, about crushed by hands, and did about everything customary to start the flow of conversation, which, of course, was not as hard as it looked among such long-parted friends. Charlie, I learned, had gone through Harvard in two years, receiving magna cum laude in Latin and in Alge- bra. He then completed his education at Heidelberg University, Germany, where he broke the world's record in both the hun- dred and the hammer-throw on the same day. Besides tutoring wayward students in French, he was conducting joy-rides to Castle Square. Slats had acquired world- wide fame as head of the Belmont Detec- tive Agency through his skilful manage- ment of a murder mystery. Cobb, the big fellow who had rushed past me so im- politely, they said, had tired of football and baseball and had gone back to E. S. Ball, and was still quite a favorite with the candy case. Coming out of the store, I espied va prosperous looking young citizen whose carefree, smiling countenance brightened if not cheered me. All of us must have our ups and downs, but he asserts that he got the latter with his name only. Nat Downs it is-by baptism Nathaniel Edward -still the same old tish, although now the proud possessor of knowledge bearing on the locality of Medford Hills, and even yet he is looking for some honest and upright citizen to present him with that VV which he says he earned, although he declares that it is like striking a XV on an upright piano. In imminent peril of my life, I crossed the rustling Charles by way of Moody street suspension bridge, so-called from the state of mind of those going over or under, and from the rapidity with which repairs are conducted upon it. Scarcely had I put it a stone's throw behind my back when I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Messrs. Duffy and Morrisey, the latter plus an M. D. Bianca says that Henry couldn't make an ink-well: but, ah! the little town bows in reverence to our Henry, for Henry PROPHECY is different from the regular clique: he touches before he cures like the mighty kings of yore. Duffy, on account of his failing eyesight, had been compelled to re- tire from active big-league service, but, un- able to resist the lure of the big game, he invested his carefully saved earnings, and for tl1e seventh consecutive year had suc- ceeded in bringing the pennant to Boston and had entered as many victorious teams in world's championship series. Ile was a decided success as a big-league magnate, with a decided attraction for the stars. Vlfondering at the boy with the wheel-bar- row who dogged Duffy's footsteps and gasping at his prodigous diamond, I com- mented on its great size and necessary weight. Yes,,' he replied, but the sun makes it light and I have this wheel-barrow for dark days. But, say, yo-u ought to see llarold Eaton! Pa had gone into the restaurant business, and, of course, allotted one to himself. Be- sides taking up policing as a past-time, he became famous as the tennis champion of the United States. I was, indeed, surprised at the success of one, Carl Emerson. He had successfully combined the ministry with the shoe business, and had acquired an en- viable reputation by the invention and manufacture of a simple little device for saving soles. VVhen I saw him, he was rapidly increasing his reputation and his wealth, both of which he squandered so recklessly back in the High School. But our poet one turned out to be a taxidermist. In the year of our Lord IQ25, George Herbert Everett, .Ir.,entered the em- ploy of the Scenic Play House Company and took up the work of dressing bears. Three years later his wife, Laura Stewart. obtained a divorce from him on account of his familiarity with the stars, and the judge only growled, I thought so, when Bert named his astronomy teacher. In remorse Bert resigned his munilicent position, and after two years of endeavoring to survive by his piscatorial attainments, he accepted the position of janitor at the La Flagg semi- nary for girls, where Fred was making a great success, due, no doubt, to his close observation of girl-kind while still a youth. llc was ably assisted by H. Fleming, as spiritual adviser, who said that his greatest difficulty was in trying aeronautsg Herby French took great pains in the instruction of the art of distinct articulation and ven- triloquism, although he did at times serve as assistant to Hazel Sherman, athletic trainer. XVinifred Cushing took up the art of teaching and imparting real knowledge of geometry, but to this day she has never been able to iind her hgure on the black- board, although she stoutly asserts that it is not a scalene triangle. Laura Fisher and XX'inifred Douglas vied with each other in the most modern methods of teaching Ger- man: and the better to accomplish this end, they even adopted the native costume, which, to say the least, had a very pic- turesque eifect. Canoeing and automobil- ing were taught by a Miss Howe. Although Roberta johnson was without an equal as a linguist, she was much better known as the inventor of the Library-bureau and the in- come derived from the royalties on this in- vention she gave to the school. Fred, the founder, was ably assisted in his multi- farious and imposing duties by his wife, Edith Wfallis, and by the timely suggestions of his copper-friend, Carl Richards. The institution had been considerably benehted of late by the magnificent gift of a good old kind-hearted widow, by name Marion Ilenry, who especially desired that it be used in the study of small fruits, a subject which she herself had found so congenial. But of all the scholars the Wfaltham High School or Amherst College ever tzzrzzcd out, few are more prosperous than Harold Kaler. From a lowly citizen and a football manager, Kaler developed intoran upright and respected citizen. On account ofhis pre-eminence and standing in the pursuit PROPHECY of agricultural learning, he was duly in- stalled under the seventh consulship of Marcus Xtellus as a farmer of the public revenue. His knowledge on this subject was exhaustive and he displayed remark- able skill and ingenuity in the art of graft- ing. What surprised me most, however, was Kaler's personal appearance. It was reported that none of the city's resources were going to QWaist!j, but, gorry, Kaler was! As I entered his offlce a most cor- pulent affair strutted over to me and, had it not been for the outstretched hand, I would never have called it Kaler. Shaking hands seemd like engulfing the said mem- ber in pillows. He said, Sit! I did-he didn't: he rolled back onto a chair, and half a dozen waist-coat buttons played pit- a-pat on the ceiling. My, he was fat! If it had not been for the traditional cordiality of the stout man, my call would have been anything but pleasant. As it was, I almost choked when he suggested that we both descend in the same elevator-together-at once. Of course, I feigned elevator-sick- ness, and, as he could not follow, clattered down the stairs alone. In the door-way I passed Dorothy Allen, clad in the garb of chief of the fire department. She had lessened the number of fires in the shopping district ninety percent by the prohibition of tire-sales, and had once gone to a fire so quickly in her new automobile that before she go-t there, she met herself coming home. VVith her was Hattie Louise Taylor, who, besides enjoying the honors mentioned above, was drawing her salary as a draw- ing teacher. She was a great success as a drawing teacher. She drew crowds from all over the United States, and it was said that she had tearlessly refused thirty suit- ors in one day. It was hinted that the Six Little Brothers, Taylors, were the only ones who could suit her. You may try to be familiar with the different Stiles in automobiles, but there is one with which you can't. Then, again, all the world seems familiar with Marguerite and her petite machinist, Irene Hoyt. Mar- guerite holds the world's record for the two-twenty in an automobile. She com- pleted her education as a coed at Tufts, where she became known as the greatest protrayer of Shakespeare's woman char- acters since Eve. She had played before all the crowned heads of Europe, and while in German playing Romeo and Juliet, in the balcony scene, the scenery for some un- known reason broke down, causing Mar- guerite severe injuries. Irene surprised her many friends by becoming a militant suf- fragette and was elected first woman Mayor of South NValtham. Her reign, like that of Augustus, was very beneficial because of the many wise laws instituted by her, among which was the law regulating divorce, the ground work was given her by Mrs. Reade. But God-ber praised! We almost forgot you! She says she didn't find Wil-ard, so we suppose he found her easy, and we found Willard as thegrey-bearded patriarch of a flourishing little Latin colony on Spring street, a street always in favor with the .Rowe-mans. But Willard was especially famous as the inventor and builder of Rowe-boats, and as the founder of a row- ing school in Auburndale. And their fame was as a match in ex- treme darkness which lights up a solitary face. Walter Randles was as a fixed star in a clouded heaven which seems charmed against the obstruction of a dusky cloud. For years the world throbbed under the blows of Walter E. Randles, paper-weight champion of the United States. Cf course, this fame was in part due, no doubt, to the faithful work of his trainor, Henry Reed, founder of the Horrible Logic School, which taught the sailors how to make watches. He acted in the capacity of trainor and manager, being an expert in owedsl' But of all our number, one only has risen PROPH ECY so high as Hubert Welcome. After dis- covering the DVriglzt method of flying, in a flight of the Imagination on July 4, IQI3, he attained an altitude of 7,000 feet. Cf course, it was due to Varley, who was serv- ing a life term as VVelcome's mechanician. He put the propeller on wrong-side-to, and before Welcoine could overcome his sur- prise and regain control of the machine, it had risen to this remarkable and unpre- meditated height. This event alone made VVelcome ! a byword, the subject of every conversation, the first word among long- parted friends, and was even inscribed over people's doorways. The Rose, that craft 7 over which Welconie spent so much time and thought while in our midst, rose once and never Rose again. Then came a terrible crash. I shook the water from my eyes and floundered franti- cally to the weedy shore, eventually bring- ing up in the wilds of Stony Batter. My wrist and eye were all swollen. Two days later an ant-covered hulk was announced far down the stream. Of course, it is only a surmiseg but I don't see how in our well kept and finely dredged river, I could ever have mixed the shores with the waves and gone ploughing the tops off of ant hills.

This summons is followed by a great deal of yawning and tossing about, and, at length, by 1 - the opening of countless l blue or brown eyes, the owners of which remain drowsily idle for some few minutes. Gradually, however, each gains pos- session of his senses fthe alarm clocks are automatic and do not permit of laziness ll, sits up, and looks around to see what the trouble is. Now, what is the mean- ing of all that racket? Good gracious! lVhy. you are a Freshman in the Vifaltham lfligh, and safety in numbers!! and await your fate. Ten minutes gone! Fifteen gone! Sopho- mores, Juniors, Seniors begin to come. How you envy them their carefree looks! Still in the group and clinging to your near- est neighbor, you enter the sacred portals and take refuge, if you are a girl, in room 83 if a boy, in room 5. For who so courageous as to dare walk down that lengthy corridor to the opposite end of the building? Soon a bell rings. After receiving careful directions, you climb a great many stairs, 'ind hnd yourself, at length. in the Assembly Hall. How proud you feel-- until some rude upper- class men make very school begins this very day at eight o'clock! The most un- earthly hour, you mutter to yourself as you hasten to dress, but, for all your hurry, it is seven o'clock when you hnally sit down to breakfast-a breakfast that it is impossible to eat. Wfhat human being could eat on such a momentous day? At 7.15 you march bravely out the front door, join your comrades, and proceed to the scene of action. Somehow or other, you meet no upper-class men on your way. Horror seizes you. VVhat if you should be late! VVhere would you go? Vifhat would you do? You hasten on. Ah! A sigh of relief escapes you, for there is the town clock, and it is exactly twenty-five minutes before eight! Eagerly you gather every classmate of yours about you Qthere is personal remarks in very audible whispers about the greenness of the Freshmen. Ah! who would think so small a word to hold so much contempt! You are requested to re- main after morning exercises, and before long you are in the exact room and division in which you belong. And now you are in lligh School, and all the pictures, and statues, and bright sunny rooms are just as much yours as anyone else's! And one of those desks, with the most adorable sort of cover, is yours, too! Sometimes, to be sure, you lind yourself searching in vain for your books, but that is only because you have un- intentionally walked into the wrong room! A few such experiences as this makes you wish heartily for a silken cord such as HISTORY Theseus had to guide him safely through his labyrinth. How quickly the days pass! Before we realize it, a month has gone, and we must hold a class meeting. lVe do so, with the result that l-lenry Reed is elected president, Nellie Barry, vice presidentg Atherton Monroe, secretary and treasurerg XVilliam Barry, representative to the Athletic Com- mitteeg and Lawrence Allen, class reporter. Wfe also decide to make the class dues lifty cents a year. About this time there is a great com- motion recesses in the vicinity of the Hag- pole, and every member of the upper classes seems to hold a grudge against us Fresh- men. You ask why? lint cast your eyes heavenward. lelehold! a 1912 flag is waving gallantly in the breezes, and what's more, it didn't come down in a hurry! Wlithin doors, lessons are progressing rapidly, and many are the brilliant recita- tions, especially in Latin. Xlihy, only a day or two ago, some ingenious person declared that perterrio meant pug-dog. But now there is a very important matter up before us Freshmen, and that is the choice of our class pin. After considerable discussion, the pin has been chosen, and we are proud to be the first class to wear the established school pin. Not that we love IQI2 less, but that we love XValtham High more! The weeks come and go, lessons come and gog reports come and gog and finally, everything having come and gone, our first year in High School is over. llfe are no longer Freshmen-at last we have emerged from the Dark Ages, and we are not at all sorry. Neither are we sorry that vacation is her-e. But the two months' vacation is soon over. Again we are in High School, only now we are Sophomores. Wfe are espe- cially conscious of the fact because of the swarms of very small and insignificant creatures who are always under foot- meaning, of course, the Freshmen. We feel pretty big this year, for may we not sing with the upper classes, have socials, and declamations, and all sorts of very de- lightful privileges? We are perfectly wild to have that first social of ours, but must wait our turn. And thus are we taught the meaning of patience! .Fi.rst, however, we must see about class ofiicers. Un September 30th, a meeting is held and the following officers elected: Alfred Cobb, president: N-ellie Barry, vice- president: Frank Dixon, secretary and treasurer. Next, we must learn a little something, so we plunge boldly into Latin, geometry, Ger- man, English and a dozen or so other studies. Meanwhile, the general Division have been getting initiated into the marvels of typewriting, and have become so in- fatuated with the work that the recess bell itself can scarce tear them away. And, lastly, we must have a little play, so quite a number of us join the Concilmen. Salve and f'Yale are the pass-words that let us into the good times and send us home after them. It will be a long time before we forget our afternoon at the bowling alley, the hare and hound race on Prospect, the lecture on Rome, and last, but in no wise least, our picnic. Perhaps you wonder why that is of so much importance. Easily explained! lt was there that Fred Flagg lirst took such an interest in lt -an in- terest which has, since infinitely increased until, at the present date, it takes the form of a deep and absorbing passion! On the seventh of january, we hold our lirst class social, or rather, an apology for a social. If anyone can see anything par- ticularly sociable about a crowd, every member of which is scared pink with bash- fulness, we credit him with supernatural powers. But then, this is our hrst social- we hope they improve with experience. Our hopes are realized! The months have passed and on May 5, we hold our second Q. ,vn- ,, . 1 BASEBALL TEANI HISTORY social. The boys do nobly, all bashfulness has flown to the winds: and everyo-ne has a perfectly splendid time. The subject of class mottoes now comes up before the class. A committee is chosen, and after a week or two of searching round, Veritas Yincitf' tTruth Conquersl is de- cided upon. Each models his life thereby and strives valiantly to prove the honesty of this statement. And now, at the last moment, summer comes hurrying in, and we find we are juniors. Vlfe assemble as such after the ten weeks' vacation and immediately hold a class meet- ing. There are so many present, the whole Assembly Hall is filled. tThis statement is made on good authority, and is not to be contradicted lil Harold Reed, Nellie Barry and Helen Carter are chosen by this vast multitude for president, vice-president, and secretary, re- spectively. To say that we are juniors is merely a convenient way of saying we are very wise and know everything about everything. To prove this, Rachel displays her boundless knowledge in Ancient History, and tell us that Agamemnon was a Scottish tighter. XVe also hear how Athens made a treaty tsomething between a truce and a treaty, most likelyj and did a lot of other queer things. Before long, we hold our first social, and all enjoy themselves immensely, playing Drop the Handkerchieff' XVinkum, NVhere Art Thou, Rachael tby the way, where was Rachel?l, eating ice-cream, and dancing until lights outu announced that it was time to depart nach Hause. The weeks pass by silently one by one as far as recitations are concerned, and it is not long before we hold another social and have another good time. About this time, we are conscious that something of great importance is about to take place. To tell the truth, we are not allowed to forget it. for at all hours of the day we hnd ourselves pursued by Jeannette tsince Helen has left schooll. who vainly endeavors to extort from us our class dues. All these things are merely preliminaries to the Prom which we give the Seniors. That Prom! We certainly have a most de- lightful time there, but ahl if only twere done when 'tis done Y For weeks after, we are visited by the most terrible nightmares, and by the awful feeling that someone is ever waiting to spring at us. All too true! Financially, the Prom was a failure, and Jeannette is still on the warpath. A few weeks after this great event, we bid good-bye to the Seniors. and find our- selves tat least, most of us dol ready to take their places. Un the eleventh of September, 87 of the 197 of us who entered Xlfaltham High as Freshmen just four years ago, return for our last year, and we are now allowed to take our places in those long desired front seats in the Assembly Hall. lt is here we learn, a few days later, that Atherton Non- roe has been chosen as editor-in-chief of the Nirror. lf we have looked forward to an easy time as Seniors, we are soon disillusioned. The lessons are worse and more of theme decidedly more of them. lf we do not do them we pay the penalty, and, since the penalty is worse than the lesson, we strive to learn something. The results are sehr kommishf' especially in French. Edith goes so far as to tell us the history of those tribes existing before Adam himself, tell. us they were fond of dates and ligs and such things: Randalls gives himself away when he translates -Vai froid as l am a fraud 3 and Hazel is sure the man had ten miles in his legs, even our most illustrious president is aliiicted with this queer-transla- tion disease, and calls Joan of Arc, jean- ettef' XVell, Fred, we have always heard that the tongue will tell the secrets of the heart! HISTORY This year, we can hold a class social just as soo11 as we please, which is the twenty- seventh of October. lt turns out to be a silhouette party, but we should hate to have to believe that some of us look a11ytl1i11g' like our silhouettes! At ten o'clock, we ahnost forgot ourselves Zllltl prepare to leave, but suddenly remember that we are now grown 11p and may enjoy another half hour of dancing. We go ho111e very tired, very happy, and very glad we're Seniors ton account of that extra half hourly .lust a word here about our IQI2 football team. .lt's an all right good one, and umler llubert AA-ClCU1llU as captain, runs away with the inter-class championship. Three cheers for 1913. And now, for several weeks, everyone buckles down to hard study, for are well nigh unattainable, while Ds are quite the opposite. As a reward for work well t Fl done, we have our Senior Dance in this hall on the lirst day of December. Qne would think our committee profes- sional decorators to see all the red Zllltl white llags, penants, streamers and plants so tastefully arranged. The 191.2 moonlight dances were greatly appreciated: so were tl1e refreshments! Une and all proclaim the dance the best ever and tl1e commit- tee A No. 1. llut, best of all, we were a number of dollars on the right side of get- ting i11to debt. Another month, Christmas vacation, New year's with resolutions to studyhard, and then the second class social---this one in the form of a Leap Year Party. Tl1e girls surely done noble, about thirty of them appearing upon the scene as tl1e escorts of a like number oi boys, and a whole lot of others, unattached. lice Greenleaf may be small, but Ashe certainly ca11 run a class social, and the girls all did their part, even unto the making of four or live trips to the refreshment room. Nothing bashful about the boys when it comes to ice-cream, is there, Mr. Stearns?! rl1llCll the girls had to ask for' the dances. This, very naturally, afforded the boys great amusement! No sooner is the social over, than we must think of the Senior play. Through the kindness and generosity of the citizens, the school has been presented with several pieces of good scenery, while the platform in the Assembly l-lall has been transformed into a veritable stage with foot-lights, cur- tains, dressing rooms and all other neces- sary paraphernalia. We are proud of it, in- deed, a11d fully realize' the manifold advan- tages in having a stage of our own, a11d we members of the Class of IQI2 are proud, too. that we left the beaten track and chose a Shakespearian drama witl1 which to chris- ten this stage of ours. How amply we are repaid for our choice! We doubt, however. if Edith could have withstood Kearsley's ardent wooing, if it had not bee11 for those intermissions between acts, when tl1e mask was laid aside, and both shone forth in their true light. To see tl1e1n at such times, one would never think Edith needed tam- ing! Shortly after the play, it was announced that Atherton Monroe would be valedic- torian, and Jeannette Daboll, salutatorian. So we know there's a HgllClC time coming. XYith the beginning of Spring, athletics became prominent again. The swimming pool is now abandoned for wrestling and boxing, but most especially for baseball. The first game of the season is played on the new Athletic held, April 13, with Con- cord lligh School, and results in victory for XYaltham by a score of II to .t. This is the tirst baseball game to be played in an en- closed lield in tl1e history of tl1e school, a11d it proves advantageous, both linancially and otherwise. By means of a second team and also a number of teams made up of the lower classes, everyone is given a chance in the athletics of the school. And not only does it give more a chance to iplay, but also it trains and keeps in practice those who, in a year or so, will be available for the first SWIMMING TEAIVI v .A,,, 1 M, x '5 4 , , 4 TL X-nr' 1 I ' ,I H ' ' 9 1 v ' , 1 3 ' '.,H 3 ,f.! gf.

On the 12th of March, an exceedingly line concert is given in the High School hall, for the benefit of the hlirror. XVe are glad to see. by the' large number present, the interest taken in our school paper, and are happy to say that the Minor is now running on a very good financial basis. About this same time, we are enjoying a series of lectures on Italy that are very much appreciated. But the weeks Hy by in spite of us, and before long the May vacation arrives, and with it the trip to Vlfashington with Miss Spencer and Mr. liurke as chaperons to a crowd of exceedingly happy nineteen- twelversf' XVords cannot express, nor im- agine conceive, the perfectly glorious times we all had-nor the thousand million different things we saw. Harold Eaton proved a great one for going off by himself and indulging in conversations with a most strong-minded parrotg while Kearsley used up all his surplus energy in trying to keep peace in the hotel. or in looking after Mel- rose on the boat. the happy days. Ylfell, surely them was Upon arriving sleep and stayed there most of the time till Then we went to school and strove to put our minds on our lessons, or, if genius burned, we settled down to the writing of a Class Ode. A little later. we learn that Henry Reed is our bright and shining star in poetry: and Herrick Green- home. everyone went to Monday morning. leaf wins the honors for the best music. Xlfe congratulate them. Soon it is rumored abroad that the Mir- I fn ror will contain a story of the VVashington Trip. Alice, almost beside herself with fear, makes a dash for it-one glance! the blow has fallen! There it is in black and white. XYell, Alice, you know such actions as those do not remain secret long! lliut now it is time for our last social. Old fashioned ladies, farmers, Indians, chil- dren, Japanese girls, in fact all colors, sizes and nationalities mingle happily in games and dancing, as well as in eating ice-cream and common crackers. And somehow, it doesn't seem possible that the next time we gather all together it will be as members of the Alumni. Now the time passes swiftly and all in a minute we hnd ourselves living no longer in the past. XVe have accepted the invita- tion of the Class of IQI3 to the Prom. VVe are here and are going to have a good time and then-the present fades into the future. Two weeks more and our goal will be reached! XVe are glad to reach itg glad to know that success attends us after these four years of study: proud to realize that we have been laying the foundations for our life work in a good education, deeply thankful that we have, each one of us, been able to share the advantages offered by the public schools of our country. And yet, it is with deep regret. too, that we graduate and leave, for it means a parting of the ways. Henceforth, instead of the Class of 1912 travelling on and on together, each member must choose a path of his own, that will lead him to what he most desires, and each member of the Class of 1912 wishes to every other member best and truest success possible.
