Senior Vocabulary. egg' IAQ' NE afternoon as I was trudging along against a West- gl VX! ern blizzard and not knowing where to go, I met a if Carman, who said: If you have the Price, ou ma :l'fg924,iL-I ride by way of the St. Paul. y y I accepted the ride and left the car at Adams street, intending to visit the institution of Artz, but I was suddenly startled at hearing some one crying Hallowill, and upon turning round I saw Thomas coming at full speed. After a moment's conversation I started on, but I had only gone a short distance when I met a Rich Miller who told me there was a Tidy green house across the street. I, being a lover of flowers, stepped across and entered. On the left I noticed Mr. Harris, the proprietor, pressing a Rose. Is that Wright, a Rosenblum Z 'l I asked. Yes, and if you wait until I get Dunn I will show you a ' kind of pretty, Olive plant and also a sweet William which was imported from Milburn. A After he had Chucked a few things away on a shelf we went down to the other end of the green house. There stood a beauti- ful Palmterl where not a Ray of sunlight could strike it. After picking a Goodrich looking Daisy, I left and started for a hotel. When I reached it I noticed a Martin Carroling away over some crumbs which the Porter had thrown to him. On the Morrow I left for Florence, with Laurels for the Hollstein. I remained only a few days. On my way back I met a teacher who seemed to delight in Bowen to me, but I was greatly surprised to find out that my wandering was only a Joner and it was my turn to recite. 124 -

History Qf Clam.: Qf 1903. WILL C. BROWN. gf 'A-Q, HEN the class of 303 Iirst came into the High School, 5' they were quite unused to the new life and could not iii ,K easily adapt themselves to the several recitation .225 rooms. In about a week, however, they became accustomed to the routine of daily work. Then it was that they began to show something of their future greatness. In the Hrst year we had a sleighride and several Physiography excursions to vary the monotony of school life. On one of these excursions one of our members fell from a bridge and got wet, but he soon got over it. When bird day came we went to Lake BlutIQ accompanied by two of our teachers, Miss Reiley and Miss Replogle. Some of our boys went back after ribbons and were left behind, but they found us again, and we had an enjoyable time. During this year our hearts were saddened by the death of one of our classmates, Belle Tyrell. When we returned for the second year, some of our members had dropped out, but a few new ones were added. This year we had a good time on two sleighrides, the first to Lavenia Sylvester's and the second to Ashley Colby's. We were much interested in basket ball, as our class held the championship. We also had Botany excursions, having an enjoyable time each trip. It was in this year that debates were introduced. Notwithstanding the difiiculties, we progressed very rapidly, and by the end of the year, we became fairly good debaters. When Miss Besley came back at the beginning of our third year, we were much pleased, as we all liked her. Our class had two parties, one a farewell to Myrtle Reed, the other a sleighride to Ashley Colby's. Basket ball was very popular in our class this year, although we finished second to the Seniors. In the spring we had rhetoricals, two prizes having been given by some un- known person. Nellie Raught won first prize and Mabel Erb second.
