AS we. who are about to leave our dear Alma Mater forever, look back over the many happy days we have spent within its protecting walls, and then remember with sorrow the few remaining to us, we search for the cause of these feelings which in vain we endeavor to suppress. We think of the pleasure, benefit and kindness which has always been ours during our instruction under its tutorship, and we ask how can we ever bring ourselves to depart from so good and true a f.iend. But the friend is not the school itself, it is those who have created it for our better preparation to nobly fight lifes battles. So let us carefully peruse its history and find to whom we owe this lasting debt of gratitude. Twenty-six years ago we find a little country school, disorganized and shaken to its foundations by mismanagement and frequent changes in the principalship until it could scarcely be called a school at all. suddenly take root with new courage, and, reorganized and guided by the hand of one whose natural ability combined with a most careful preparation which enabled him alone to cope with the great problem,

fi THE ORACLE. which even at that time he must have perceived to be his life work, rise steadily and rapidly from its old position to the front among the schools of its class in the state. It is still growing under that same wise and careful guidance. It is to him that we owe all that we have derived from the splendid school which has almost been our home for the past few years ; and now we who form the twentieth class that has received the inestimable advantages of the excellent graduating course, which ho organized in 1883, gratefully extend our most sincere thanks, and dedi cate this book to our beloved principal and friend, in token of our honor and esteem. F. E. 1). S., ’02. £7 £? PROF. JOHN BEERS. Prof. John Beers came to Watkins High School from LeRaysville, Pa., September 3rd, 1901, to succeed Prof. Buck as vice-principal. Prof. Beers graduated from the Candor High School in the class of ’95. He then went to the Collegiate Institute at Tonawanda, Pa., from which he graduated in ’97 with the highest honors of the class, being valedictorian. Going from there to the Syracuse University he pur sued a classical course, taking foreign languages as a specialty, and graduated in 1901 with such a record that he was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society for scholarship. Prof. Beers is now teacher of foreign languages, history, literature and geometry, and in his class room he is never t iring in his efforts to help and explain. He has taken a great interest in the athletic welfare of our school, helping the boys to organize their efficient basket ball team. Although Prof. Beers has been but a short time among us. all who know him, both in and out of the school, wish him the greatest success. C. E. S., ’02. MISS GAYLORD. Miss Carolyn Gaylord was graduated from Cornell University in the classical course in June, 1899, after taking a preparatory work in the Corning High School. She then entered Watkins High School as pre ceptress and has since fulfilled her duties in a manner that proves her admirable preparation for them. Miss Gaylord has charge of the English branches for the most part, and while her method of conducting these classes is both instructive and interesting she undoubtedly excels in the sciences. She is so thoroughly informed in these subjects, so well read and so enthusiastic over them that not even the most inappreciative pupil could fail to share her interest and grasp the ideas which she wishes to impart. During the three years which Miss Gaylord has spent among us, she has always been eager to advance the school’s interests, being the first to assist the girls in their athletic sports, and the leader in many of their literary and social affairs. She has set an example of sweet womanliness to the girls of the school and has, by the charm of her personality
