This same band of pupils has now become a band of scholars. The men and women of the Junior Class were, in the year 1905, but Freshmen. But even in those early days they were never notorious for their green performances, for they were, even then, a particularly well-informed class-in short, an exceptional class. Now this same band is still exceptional. The men have early acquired the noble habit of smoking, and of standing around con- versing between puffs, of politics and stocks. The women are no less exceptional. They Z3 their skirts, tie' up their hair, and don 'fMerry VVidows. But lately, very lately, a President was elected after much fierce voting. Strange to say, the feminine party, if our young ladies will allow the term, had candidates and even had officers elected. Now, we are not slur- ring the fact-far from it-for we think it the most highly rational 'thing our unpar- alleled Class has yet accomplished. VVe re- spect our lady officersg we consider them an item, and a very serious one at that. VVe hope-nay, more, we know that our untiring ability and indomitable will will car- ry us safely through our Senior year, as it has through all previous ones.

How long ago it seems when as Freshmen we stood in awe of the important Juniors who seldom deigned to speak to us except to remind us that we were going up the wrong stairway, or that we wer-e indulging some other habit which everv Freshman seems to have. But soon we will arrive at that high and noble position of juniors. With this dream has always been the dream of our fine new home, which is also about to be realized. Uh! great things have come to this won- derful Class of IQIO. Was it not one of our Sophomores who won second place in the mile run at the meet in Columbia, and who has won points for us before, bringing hon- or and glory to the School and Class? We may well be proud of this large and unap- proachable Class. VV-e have done great things this year, but as Juniors we shall be greater than any others before us. Great as is our ioy at having finished our Sophomore year so nobly, we regret to re- linquish it to these verdant Freshmen who run promiscuously through the halls. But when School opens next year, with our new building and everything ready for a new start, p-erhaps even they will make new records. Helen Bangs, '10. THE GREAT TRAGEDY OF MARCH 30-31. There is grief and wailing, a sound of lamentations. The pupils gathered about the long tables have tears on their faces. Slowly and regretfully they watch their hard-earned savings disappearing in the interests of sci- ence. Their tears mingle with the precious Solution. As they fall the NaCl in these salty droos precipitates silver chloride. Lo and behold! the experiment is done in advance. Hail! all hail! to these hardy pioneers in sci- ence. Hail! all hail! to their little silver dimes. Hail! all hail! to the machine which cut them in two and saved each section tive cents. Thus let us end the gloomy tale,
