nearly sick on the homeward trip in the moonlight. The Seniors of ’10 will well remember it. CHAPTER IV. Our last year marks a great social epoch. It was here in this last year that precedence was again set by the class of ’10 in the way of class parties. The other classes followed in order. Then again under the direction of our girls, who by the way, are the social dictators, many receptions for visiting athletic teams were planned and made possible by the joint efforts of the ’10’s. Among them was a delightful reception at Mable’s for the final debate teams. It was all the more pleasant, since we had won. Too—this annual is the product of Senior promotion and school assistance. No regret possesses us as we write this last chapter in A. II. S. We feel that our share has contributed toward the school, making its memories sweet and its spirit wholesome. We could have improved in some ways the work of the past four years, but that improvement shall come in some other place and is not to be written of here. SENIOR ALPHABET. A is for Aubrey, who a lawyer will make He’ll write out your will and divide your estate. B is for Beulah, so modest and quiet ’Twould be hard to find her in the midst of a riot. C is for Chris, who is very wise And as for arguments—he’d take the prize. D stands for “divinity” which we all eat; Among other candies it cannot be beat. E is for Emily, who knows what to do When the rest stand ’round in a terrible stew. F stands for Miss Fogle, whom we like very much Though often in our classes we don’t show her such. G is for Glidden, who plays base-ball He’s a jolly lad and is liked by all. 11 is for Heaven, where we’ll meet bye and bye And over our Physics we’ll ne’er need to sigh. I is for Inez, who from school ran away And got in much trouble with Mr. Newell, they say. J stand for justice which to us is denied When question after question upon us is plied.

As Freshmen we were not so green, As Sophs we worked with a will; As Juniors we were gay and free, Now Seniors grave and still. III. We cannot tell you all we’ve done; ’Twould be too much to tell. Hut ask the one’s who know us best. And they’ll say that we’ve done well. IV. Now, Juniors, try like us to be, And prithee always ken, The virtue and the uprightness Of the class of 1910. 20
